What a great gem of a place. I had spicy tuna poke bowl, and it was the best poke I have ever eaten!! Beautiful fresh tuna in a wasabi-based sauce with seaweed and a salad on rice. The bowl was topped with a lovely flower. This place isn't much on ambiance, but who cares when the food is this good!! read more

Mount Everest Sushi - Gorgeous -- and delicious!! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I took my daughter to Mt. Everest Sushi the next day and was able to sit upstairs. There is a decent amount of space upstairs for additional seating, including some larger tables. The staff is incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make you feel part of their family. I tried the poke bowl for the first time, and it was outstanding. My daughter got the spider roll and loved it. read more

I haven't eaten here. but they have had 2 health code violations, one in july and one yesterday.. they have been removed but its plain to see they don't care about their customers. read more

I have only gotten the tuna poke bowl here, but it is fantastic! The fish is fresh, the toppings are yummy, and portion sizes are really generous (especially given the price)! Plus the service is quick for takeout! read more

My girlfriend and I had heard about this place on yelp and wanted to give Mount Everest a try! I must say the sushi was super authentic unlike any other place I've tried! My girlfriend got the "UNA DON" what amazed me most about this was how happy she was to see the presentation of her sushi it was a Hello kitty, who would have thought a sushi order would come with so much flavor not to mention the amazing art that comes along with the fresh sushi! I had gotten the Mongolian style beef with chimichurri sauce and it was splendid! The sauce was spicy for my liking you could taste the fresh lime and avocado and every single ingredients that were made in this sauce! It's the best place for fresh amazing quick sushi! My hot plate was delicious! We will be sure to come back again! read more

Great place! Very good food, cheap prices and quick service. Kids liked it too. Osaka beef was delicious as was the Pink Panther roll.

The prices are really good for the quality of sushi you're getting. You also get more than you would at a lot of places, 8 rolls per order rather than 6. The staff is very nice as well. My favorite place to get sushi on campus. Also it's better quality than sushi fuku if you're trying to decide which to eat at. read more

I ordered here after a bad experience getting take out with Nakama. I'm glad I did! I agree with the other comments of flavor, freshness, quality, and most importantly cost. I got several rolls for my husband and I with leftovers. The delivery was packaged beautifully. This is our new favorite go to sushi spot! read more

This is the most amazing sushi place I've been to yet. I visited from DC saw this place and decided to check it out and wow it blew me away. I ordered sushi donuts, steelers roll (favorite roll to date) and poke bowl. Serving size was massive. The chef was so interactive, describing different flavors, how to eat the donut etc. not only was flavoring amazing but the presentation was fabulous. The chef is absolutely amazing, this place is amazing you need to go. Like now! read more

I'm buying sushi there for a 2 years already. Best sushi in the town! Specially Steelers roll!

This restaurant surprised me through and through with its quality and originality. Service is swift and the sushi is both delicious and artistically designed. First, the quality of food. The raw fish was very fresh and all of the ingredients tasted very good. Rolls were well rolled and didn't fall apart easily, even when you took a bite. I was particularly impressed by how they combined all our orders on a plate in a way that made the dish look like a work of art. Personally, I tried the rainbow roll, Mount Everest roll, and the sushi donuts. The rainbow roll had a very nice variety of sashimi and each bite was unique and refreshing. The Mount Everest roll was packed with lots of good ingredients, however I'd recommend asking for it without any lettuce. The lettuce clashed with the other ingredients and did not mix well. The sushi donut was a pleasant surprise. I thought it was just something interesting to have but might not taste great, but it was quite good! It comes with several sashimi pieces on a doughnut of rice all over a square of seaweed. All in all, an interesting dish that was fun to eat. I highly recommend this place for all sushi and poke lovers, and will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town. read more

Super super super yummy. Seating area upstairs is a little jank but the sushi is so good it really does not matter. The fish is so juicy n fresh n they add so much of it in the roll. read more

It must be college students with low standards that provide all the high ratings. This place is pretty rough. Everyone raves about the sushi donut but it is a mess that is impossible to eat because it doesn't hold together at all. Go across the street to Oishi Bento instead. read more

Definitely met my high expectations! I got the tuna poke bowl. The fish was fresh and there was a humongous portion of it - frankly I had difficulty finishing it! I couldn't believe this whole thing was only 10 bucks. The seaweed salad was crisp and delicious, and the warm rice on the bottom really tied everything together well. The sauce that the tuna chunks were tossed in was also extremely tasty and didn't overwhelm the fish. My only complaint was that there was a bit too much dressing on the salad greens for my taste, but otherwise I wouldn't change a thing about this meal. I will definitely be coming back for more. read more

Just don't get the eel roll. I found some bones in mine (seen on side of plate in picture) and it was not a pleasant experience. On top of that, the eel didn't seem cooked too well. I probably should have known better than to get eel at this place since it's more of a college joint. The rest of the food was fine. Not great, but pretty good. Very disappointed to find bones in my roll though. That was pretty awful. I'm not sure I'd go back. read more

I moved out of Oakland and haven't been able to eat here in a while but got to stop in today for a roll! I had the Steeler roll with eel on top instead of the salmon! It was amazing as always! Alex and Kelsang are great guys and they know sushi and Poke etc....Fresh and wonderful. I love the Mt Everest roll the most, but am pregnant and can't have it until August. Better believe I'll be back after the baby comes. read more

Delicious food! And the customer service was great' they were pretty busy when I went and I still got my food in a decent amount of time! Even went back to the counter to order more!! HIGHLY recommend! read more

Allison roll is BOMB. The chefs are friendly, and sushi comes out in minutes. The place is run down so I would recommend getting your food to go, but the fish is fresh and the staff is great read more

I can't give this restaurant a better review. The sushi tastes absolutely amazing, and the price is fantastic. The owners are extremely polite and friendly, and the service is exceptional. I've been to a few different sushi restaurants (most of which were more expensive), but I don't think any compare to the astounding quality of this food. I highly recommend coming to Mount Everest Sushi if you are in Oakland and looking for an inexpensive, but quality establishment. read more

I've gone most of my life hating fish. I finally came around to sushi a few years ago, but only a few select kinds. I tried the sushi donuts here and was pleasantly surprised to discover that I've apparently been missing out my whole life. This is the only place I have ever willingly ordered salmon and it is now a part of my regular order. I appreciate them accommodating requests and and consistently making great sushi! read more

Stopped by for take out. It was quick and that's good! It was different than the poke place downtown, where you can customize your order however you want. But here it is more of order off the menu. They have everything set up that you can't add extra or minus anything. I got the spicy salmon and spicy crab combo. It came out in less than 5 minutes. But it didn't come with any sauce and I had to ask for a side of spicy mayo. In the end, the taste! It was tasty I would give it 4 out of 5. Just because I like to have some sauce to go with my poke bawl. I wish it is chipotle style that you can customize your order. Overall it was a positive experience. read more

It's a very simple and casual restaurant in Oakland but it's cheap and their sushi are very delicious prepared with fresh fish. The staffs are friendly and they seems to be interested about people from other countries. There a seat in the second floor where there are more space. read more

UPDATE 2019 I am a regular to this consistently excellent sushi restaurant, a still-hidden diamond in the rough not just for Oakland but the city. The menu has evolved and prices have increased but you are always getting highest quality. No matter what you get it is good. The sushi rice and furikake are wonderfully balanced in flavor. At this point I've tried most everything on the menu. Personal favorites these days are eel, snapper, sushi donut, and of course their version of poke bowls. This is Pittsburgh's best sushi! It's not traditional or fancy but it's just so good :) ORIGINAL Review I came for the poke and was quite pleased. After trying the rest of oakland sushi lunches and being disappointed for the most part, I figured I was through, but here arrives Mount Everest. Since they're the only place doing a poke bowl and I love poke it was an obvious choice. Tuna poke bowl with ahi and albacore. It's a set bowl as with the other bowls. They aren't set up for 'custom' but don't worry about that! The bowls are delightfully presented with all the fish, seaweed, and bonito on top (adorned by an orchid flower), greens and soybean salad in the middle, with sesame and sushi rice on the bottom. This is a BIG bowl and the amount of rice and fish given was generous but not put off balance with the salad and seaweed. I got everything I wanted from this excellent poke bowl. To be honest, I hope these guys take over the city sushi scene. I look forward to trying a roll next visit! read more

The sushi here is so good; I've been going since pre-covid and I love all of the different rolls I've gotten. My favorite rolls are the Orochi roll and the Spicy Tuna roll. read more

Finally some affordable and clean tasting poke bowls in Pittsburgh. Had the salmon poke bowl and would highly recommend. The portions are large, and it's under $10. If you dine-in, they put a flower on top of your bowl. Also, the place appears small, but there's much more space upstairs. read more

Mount Everest Sushi - Featured in Pittsburgh Post Gazette 5/25/17 - Asian Fusion Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My friend suggested we check out this new-ish sushi place in Oakland this weekend, so we decided to try this place since neither of us had ever been here and it seemed to have good reviews. We were not disappointed when we came today. I liked how this place had poke bowls (which can be hard to find outside of the West Coast/Hawaii), sushi tacos, and sushi donuts (which are pretty trendy right now lol). My friend and I both ordered a poke bowl; she got the tuna one and I had the salmon one. Both of our bowls looked amazing, had super fresh ingredients, and tasted mad delicious. We're both coming back again, probably gonna try the sushi tacos next. Honestly, a super legit place to go if you want poke bowls in Pittsburgh. read more

Good sushi place to go. The seaweed salad is delicious and the rolls are cut well. There is competition two doors up but they cut your sushi with a machine... you're better off going to Everest. The prices are also very reasonable. Once I did try going when the listing hours say opened but the workers, owners, or who ever did not show up till about 20 minutes after. read more

If you're a college student from Nebraska that has never eaten at a sushi restaurant that wasn't in a mall food court, you're going to think that this is pretty good. If you've had good sushi, however, you're going to wonder why this place has so many four and five star reviews. read more

Hidden gem in Oakland. Place looks nondescript, but all the sushi orders we've placed so far are tasty and excellent. Beautifully plated and ample sized servings. Taking off a star because serving can be slow, esp during busy hours. However, consider that your sushi is carefully put together and meticulously hand rolled. If you're craving for sumptuous sushi without having to shell out big bucks, give this place a try! read more

I really like the food which is delicious and affordable sushi place next to college.

Guy working there told me to go over to fuku sushi if I wanted to customize my roll..

One of the better places to get sushi and poke bowls, Mount Everest is one of the regular restaurants where I go to eat. They make food relatively quickly and the taste is pretty good too. One cool thing they do is that you get a slight discount when you pay with cash, so make sure to bring cash with you. Also, I recommend getting takeout because although they do have a seating area upstairs, it doesn't exactly look the cleanest nor the fanciest. Nevertheless, a great place to go to for dining in or takeout. read more

Best resturant in Oakland. They remember their regulars well, make fantastic sushi, and have great presentation. The staff is really nice and the prices are great. Every roll is amazing, u literally cant go wrong read more

After struggling to find a sushi and poke place for 2 years, we are home! The fish is fresh, the portions are large, and the presentation is beautiful. Came here twice this week and we will be back. Loved the poke bowl and steeler roll! read more

Awesome. Everything was delicious. Not much on ambiance and decor but you will not find fresher or more delicious sushi. Will come back again and again. read more

EXCELLENT Sushi Tacos! I LOVE this place. I also had the Poke Bowl. A hidden gem in Oakland.

Alright place. Expensive for the portion, and the taste is not anything special, though not bad. Their 10% off if you pay with cash is very nice. (paying you back for evading taxes) Space is small, cramped seating. Miso soup is alright and not too salty. There are probably better places around though. read more
