    Steak schezuan.  Yum.
    Adam P.

    Wow. This place was great. We made reservations for a party of ten. We were late. They accommodated us fine. Joe provided amazing service. We got a bunch of amazing apps. (I ate too much). Then the main dishes came out. Wow. Amazing. Everybody loved their food. I wanted to try the matcha cake. But way too full. Maybe next time. Good drinks. Good food. Good service nice decor. Nice bathroom sinks. Would recommend and would go back. Only thing I wouldn't do is get the 'gao'. The pork belly was good but it was too doughy. We had a great time. And we had a range of a party from 20 to almost 80 and no one complained. (Miracle).

    Bok choy
    Marla C.

    The lala fried rice might be my new fave thing on the menu!! It was just the right amount of spicy! I also love the bok choy I got a small portion since I was on my lunch break.

    I visited The Yuzu Kitchen in Pittsburgh for the first time and immediately loved the ambiance. The decor is beautiful with cherry blossoms hanging from the ceiling that make the space feel really warm and special. The overall setup of the restaurant is gorgeous and definitely Instagram worthy. When it came to service, I'm not sure if they were short staffed or just having an off day, but we ended up waiting a bit for our server to come over. He seemed overwhelmed, and it showed. When we asked for recommendations, he was a little short, which my whole family picked up on. The moment that really threw us off was when my niece said she wanted a Shirley Temple. Instead of just saying they had their own version, he corrected her and told her it was called "Please Be Quiet." She thought he was literally telling her to be quiet, which made things awkward. She ended up ordering it, but the drink was super sour and not what she expected, so we returned it and just asked for Sprite and grenadine. For food, my family ordered ramen and really enjoyed it. I went with the yellow curry. It was good, but I wish it had a bit more spice and flavor. For appetizers we got gyoza, edamame, and spring rolls, all of which we liked. Overall, while the service wasn't what we hoped for, the food was solid and the atmosphere is beautiful. I would be willing to give this place another try because the potential is definitely there.

    Braised Chicken Ramen
    Deah B.

    They squeezed us in before the dinner rush. Next time we will make a reservation. The service was responsive. I had the braised chicken Ramen and I would get it again. The chicken was tender. Ambiance was intimate and clean. Hopefully next time we are not near the door.

    This place is super well decorated, staff were nice, and it was pretty busy when we went. I thought the ramen was just okay. The broth wasn't super flavorful and the noodles were a bit overcooked in my opinion. Instead of chewy they were very soft. The pork belly comes in one long strip which is a bit hard to chew, it would be nicer if it was cut into pieces. The best thing about this was the egg. Waitress was nice but service is a little slow. However the food does come out pretty quickly since they have food runners. My friend did not get her one appetizer that she ordered though and was charged for it.

    Shrimp Tempura
    Cynthia A.

    We came here for a private event. The bartender downstairs was very attentive and she did great serving our group of 25. The restaurant was clean and the drinks were delicious! We went upstairs and ordered food. Service was very quick. The wait staff wasn't quite as present though so it took a long time to get our check. We also had to get chopsticks and sauces ourselves. Maybe that's how it's suppose to be? No one told us so I have no idea. Took a while for our drinks (water) to be refilled. The waitress wasn't really around so we couldn't ask for service. The servings were generous. The food was good. I did feel like the tofu was a bit salty. I would probably recommend going there for the bar, possibly the food depending on what you order.

    Island fried rice with chicken
    Celeta S.

    Great service and food. The Island rice was delicious. I was a bit surprised they didn't have a lunch special since they're in Downtown Pittsburgh. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more menu items.

    Classic Stir Fry
    Jared O.

    I've only been here for lunch, but it is one of our favorite spots. Excellent flavor in all of their dishes. The service is always good, despite being busy every time we go (get a reservation - even for lunch). My one note on Yuzu is that you get a lot of veggies, but less protein than other Asian restaurants, despite the overall portion size being large. The atmosphere is a little upper scale relative to most Asian restaurants in the area.

    Came here for lunch with coworkers and it was SO DELICIOUS!! We had a reservation so we got sat immediately and then food came out super fast! Super cute little spot and I will absolutely be coming back. We all got a decent amount of food for the price ($15 for the chicken stir fry at lunch) and all of us finished every bite because it was that good.

    This was my first time in downtown Pittsburgh, and I only had a few hours before a show. Yuzu was just a six-minute walk from my hotel, and their chicken ramen was calling my name. The interior was a cool blend of hip-hop and Japanese-inspired decor, with a long extended bar and plenty of table seating. The vibe was great, and they played a lot of late 2000s to early 2010s hip-hop, which I really enjoyed. I visited with a group of three, and we all ordered different types of ramen. I got the chicken ramen, and it was absolutely delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the chicken was tender and tasty--though be cautious, as there were some small bones. The ramen comes with a pre-prepared boiled egg. While I would have preferred a freshly boiled egg, it wasn't a big issue. My friends also really enjoyed their meals. Overall, this was a fantastic first experience. The food was incredible, and I'd love to return if I'm ever back in Pittsburgh to try more of their menu, especially their extensive drink options. Easy five out of five stars--I'll definitely be back!

    Stir Fry Udon
    Ellie K.

    The vibe inside could have been noon or 6pm, there was only one window at the front, and it made great ambiance. Stir fry udon was especially delicious, the noodles were sooo chewy and sweet. And the steak was tender. I took off points for the service. Our server was very nice but we were rushed out the door even though (not exaggerating) we were the only ones in there. They gave us boxes 2 minutes into our meal while we still had almost all the food on our plates. The check was delivered before my friend's beer was 1/3 gone. The staff kept returning. Drinks selection was extensive.

    Sukiyaki Don Bowl
    Kathleen C.

    I was part of a group of 10 on a Tuesday night. They were able to take a reservation and accommodate when we added two people. Menu had a lot of really great options. I decided on the sukiyaki rice bowl. It was very good and I added the chili oil, which gave it a nice kick. My only negative are the water glasses. I don't drink, so just had water throughout the meal. The glasses are a little larger than a shot glass and I had to refill it over and over. Luckily they had bottles on the table to refill. Overall, very good and I would go back to try more on the menu.

    Karaage
    Brenda Y.

    The noodles were overcooked and was stuck together in my bowl, it didn't have that chewiness of freshly cooked noodles. The marinated eggs were cracked, broken, and on the sweeter side which I was not used to. The karaage was gray and is not like typically karaage. Overall, the food was over priced and not great. However, it is easy to book a reservation or be able to sit down quickly. The interior is also decorated nicely.

    Ramen lacked flavor and was borderline overpriced. Side salad was ok. Music was good.

The food is always so good, hot, and fresh even though I live about 20 minutes away.

The broth has a perfect spice to it an the creaminess helps balance that. I can't place an order without their takoyaki either. They're super generous with the benito flakes, which I love. This place is always a hit and definitely one of my most ordered delivery spots.

This restaurant is located right on McKnight Road somewhat near the intersection with Siebert. The inside is fairly large with seating in an L-shaped configuration around the kitchen. We were seated near the back on one side where the lighting was styled like lanterns and there was also a fun mural on the wall in an almost manga style. For dinner on this evening I decided to go with the Golden Katsu Curry Ramen while my wife went with the tonkotsu ramen and my kids split a happy cat noodles. My ramen was described as served with house-made curry broth simmered with tender potato and carrot chunks, wavy noodles and topped with a crispy cutlet, half marinated egg, sweet corn and scallions. My wife's was described as pork broth with thin noodles, pork belly chashu, nori, bamboo shoots, fish cake, kikurage mushroom, half marinated egg, sweet corn and scallions. My kids' meal was described as chicken nuggets, soy sauce-based plain noodles, assorted vegetables, half marinated egg and one piece of mochi ice cream. They first brought out the wrong item for my kids but once we mentioned it they quickly corrected it and brought out the right dish. My curry ended up being really good. The chicken cutlet was crispy, the noodles were bouncy and I enjoyed the sweetness from the corn. The star of the show for me though was the Japanese curry which had a rich flavor with warm and inviting spices. My wife loved her ramen as well and we were all impressed with the quality of the kids' meal, especially the chicken and the flavor of the noodles. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Everyone in my family enjoyed their food and we appreciated that it felt both fun and family friendly.

    I always wanted to try this place but I will warn you about to things:…read more 1. Parking is can become limited and pulling out on McKnight road is challenging as you're waiting for a while. 2. Service. It was very slow at first and we weren't really paid attention to until the other table left. People were coming in and it seemed more attentive to them but for us, it was like a mix at first. When we did finally order, service was way better. It was kinda weird. Food - I ordered the vegetable ramen (rice noodles) and the broth is out of this world. It has a really nice garlic flavor, very delicious that made me want more and I never had a garlic based broth before. The tofu was fresh and everything else tasted lovely. The other ramen was the tan tan. I didn't really care for the broth compared to mine but it wasn't my dish originally. We also ordered the takoyaki, two of them because it was so good! We had a side of seaweed salad which was fresh and good as well. Besides the service being kinda slow when it was almost empty, it was a lovely visit. The place also felt clean and the restroom as well.
