   Excellent new spot for Bakery Square! The food and service rival some of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh.

   Very good sushi and drinks. Pricy, but not terribly so given the quality and the experience. Outstanding service. We traveled 45 minutes to try it out. I wouldn’t suggest making a special trip to go there, but if in the vicinity I could see going there once every 2 or 3 months.

   We had such a great experience! This was our first visit and defiantly will be back again. Every dish was delish and perfect! Julie was our server, she was so fun and helpful with the menu. She made our evening even more memorable!

   We have been there twice already! The food was so delicious and amazing and it was served so quickly. The service was excellent and they were very helpful with the menu and sake. Such a great new place for Pittsburgh! We already have a few upcoming reservations and can’t wait to go!

   It’s unfortunate that my date and I only have two mouths and two stomachs total between us, because I absolutely wouldn’t feel bad about ordering the entire menu in one sitting. Well, my wallet might. We did order a lot, though, and we ended up closing down the place. The ambience was sexy and upbeat (not the drowsy kind of sexy, you know what I mean). It paired perfectly with the cocktails and a bottle of sake, and the staff were super stoked to give recommendations based on what we were feeling. The food came out as it was prepared, plated to perfection and ready to share. Did we order too much? I mean, it looked like it, but we ate every crumb. I’d have licked the plate if I didn’t like my outfit so much. And like I said, we closed down the place but never felt like we were being annoying or rushed out. Next time I come back, I’m ordering the rest of the menu.

   Exceptional food, service, and atmosphere. A positive experience across every measure. This will be one of our new go to places for Sushi and Japanese inspired cuisine.

    If you’re looking for a sushi experience that goes beyond the ordinary, this new spot is an absolute must. I went expecting a good meal, but I left with my culinary standards forever changed. The nigiri is hands-down the best in town – the freshness and quality are unparalleled. And the miso cod? Utterly buttery, flaky, and executed to perfection; it melts in your mouth. But the surprise standout was the matcha tiramisu, which was to die for, combining rich matcha flavor with the perfect creamy texture. I can’t recommend this place enough – it’s more than just a meal, it’s a revelation.
