First of all, their sushi tacos were hands down the best I've ever had of raw fish in any form. Tuna and salmon mixed with a variety of perfectly marinated peppers and veggies. Perfect. My husband and I went after a bodybuilding competition and ordered about 6 rolls, sushi donuts, and those delicious tacos. They plated our spread of assorted sushi rolls on a beautiful boat with colorful, edible flowers and plenty of wasabi and ginger. Not bad for a $60 tab! This would have easily been over $100 anywhere else. He also got the miso soup and said it was the best he has ever had - and he knows miso soup. I would highly recommend this to any sushi lover. The rolls aren't too fancy, but the fish is noticeably good quality. read more

Delicious poke bowls and sushi! They are so nice and are very quick! If you want to change something in your order, they easily let you do it. They have very special rolls and also the simple rolls. We love the Steeler roll ( duh!) and the spicy Tuna poke bowl! I love coming here because it makes me feel like I'm tasting more of an authentic sushi with a twist! read more

*WOULD RECOMMEND* As a poor college student who still wants to enjoy some good sushi and fresh fish, I think Mount Everest does a good job of doing so. Over the year that it opened, I've tried pretty much all their poke bowl. The freshness level varies depending on when their fresh fish order comes in; most of the time it's okay, but once in a blue moon when you go in right when their fish arrives it's is SOOOOO FRESSSHHH!! Poke bowl: I've tried all the poke bowls and my favorite is the Great white (albacore). Theres something about the sauce that they mix it with that makes it taste so good! There's a good amount of rice, but there's a bit too much spring mix (aka salad). The seaweed salad, crab salad, and other sides are flavorful enough that it goes well with the rice and the fish. Overall, it was very fulling. Sushi donut: Very instagramable! I've seen sushi donuts on insider-food videos but it was exciting to try one in person. Definitely worth trying. It looks so nice the way they spread all the toppings around the sushi donut rice. I liked how every bite is different because of the different toppings. There was a sauce that came with it on the side but I still think there's needs to be more sauce or flavoring added to the sushi donut. I consider this more of a snack than a meal. Price: Originally, the price was only around $8/$9 but now it went up to almost $11 :(. I guess compared to other poke places, it was relatively cheap. I definitely went often before the price change. The donut was around $6 which is not bad, but still a good amount for a college student. OVERALL: Would I order them again? Yes, at least the poke bowl Would I go back again? Yes, because it's convenient for me. Right on Pitt's campus. read more

My husband ordered for me. He ordered two house special poke bowls. It came with lots of Tuna and Salmon meat. The sushi was nice and sticky. I have never had a poke bowl before and was a little overwhelmed by the heat. Would I order it again, no. Maybe I'm a plain Jane though. We placed our ordered and received our food in a reasonable time. I can't wait to go back and try an eel roll. read more

Wow! Parking was difficult here however, it was worth the hassle! This little hole in the wall is very unassuming however, offered delicious, fresh sushi. The menu board is both printed on laminated paper and also written on a lovely chalkboard that greets you when entering this restaurant. I'm assuming this place mostly does carry out because the dining room is not decorated well. However, there is seating upstairs and it's doable. The food was great! Much better than I expected. The seafood tasted fresh and everything was full of flavor. Wow! The prices I would say are average for sushi. read more

The best sushi in Pittsburgh, literally. Don't waste your hard earned money any where else. Fresh fishes, daily specials, and affordable prices. Hole in wall near Pitt. The owners are always super kind and friendly. We eat here maybe 2-3 a month and it never disappoints. They know what we want every time. We always order the steeler roll, hamachi Kama (grilled yellowtail neck) served on a bed of rice and side of salad, yellowtail jalapeño appetizer and salmon Yuzu. Today they had uni and the uni itself deserves a whopping 5 stars! Go go go! read more

Oh Mount Everest, how you've fallen. Today was my third time getting their salmon poke bowl over three years, and this was by far the most disappointing experience. The rice was warm, the sauce was a lot more sour and not as tasty as I remembered--but most offensive of all was the amount of fish: VERY noticeably less than what it used to be. In its place is now an abundance of lettuce. And all this, considering the price hike I mentioned in my last review ($11.50, tax included). I really wanted to continue being a fan of this place--there aren't exactly a lot of sushi/poke places in the area--but I don't know if I'll order this again. On the somewhat more positive side, the place is still nice and clean and the workers are friendly and service is quick. The salmon, though not much, was still fresh. Overall though, the food really needs to go back to what it used to be :( read more

I used to live in South Oakland and I passed by this place many times. I never ordered food there because I don't like eating raw fish and I thought they only had those options. My friends told me their sushi is really good so I decided to give it a shot. I ordered their Spider Roll and it was amazing. I loved the crunchy texture of the crab with the soft avocado pieces. I noticed they have rice bowls with pork or beef so I will definitely try it next time! I would say the prices are a little bit expensive but it definitely beats the bland store-bought sushi. read more

UPDATE Service is still amazing as ever. I owed $20.70 for two salmon poke bowls but I misunderstood and paid $20.17 But he was really nice about to and allowed to may him short a couple cents. It may not seem like much, but I personally take it as a big Service! The salmon is quality, very fresh! And the portion is generous as are the owners. i always have such a positive experience. Highly recommend!! read more

I ordered this food to go during social distancing and oh my gosh, it is delicious!! I can't wait to go back and eat in the restaurant because the plate presentation photos look lovely. Even with takeout, the rolls I ordered were neatly placed in a takeout container perfectly sized for them. I ordered the steeler roll and spicy California roll. Both are so fresh and delicious!! read more

So happy to have found a sushi spot this good in Pittsburgh. Wish I could buy stock in this place because I'm going to be spending a lot of money here in the future. The restaurant is not an upscale, pretentious setting whatsoever. You order downstairs and head upstairs where they will bring you your order. No waiters or waitresses, no fancy decor, the focus here is where it belongs, the food! I ordered the sushi special A, which was a small assortment of nigiri and California roll, the sushi donuts, and 4 spicy tuna rolls. All of this was about $45 and well worth it. The rice is perfect, the fish is outstanding, and in such a laid back environment I think this place is going to be hard to beat when it comes to damn good sushi. I know campus can be a pain in the butt to park on and navigate but this place is worth the trouble. The staff was very nice and I am already planning my next trip back. read more

I just finished playing workout and needed a protein boost! I ended up getting the salmon sushi bowl with a friend. There was so much to enjoy in the bowl. I definitely didn't want it to be too salty with my hypertension issues so I was glad it wasn't an issue. The ingredients are raw so don't be alarmed. I was skeptical but I was full and replenished afterwards. Imitation crab, salmon, and edamame with rice did the job for me! Plenty of greens as well for the health conscious folk in the yelp community. It is a bit pricey but I can't complain too much. I definitely wouldn't be able to make it myself lol. read more

I stopped here for lunch early on Saturday afternoon. We ordered sushi tacos, sushi doughnuts an Everest roll and some nigiri sushi. When ordering be careful to check the quantity. The doughnuts and tacos come in pairs. We ended up with way to much food. They tacos were served up first. The were excellent. The guacamole was super fresh and the combo of fish, veggies and guac blended together perfectly. Next up was the Everest roll and the nigiri. The roll was just ok. Nothing bad, just your typical sushi roll. The nigiri on the other hand was melt in your mouth amazing. We only had salmon and tuna sushi but it was on par with anything I've had and I've had tons. Next up the sushi doughnuts. It's hard to explain what they are. Just look at my pictures. They were hard to eat because they fell apart when you bit into them. They tasted amazing, just a little messy. The only strike against this place is the decor. It's not very nice inside. The upstairs ceiling had wires hanging from it and it was beat up looking. It was not dirty. It was just the absolute minimal effort to make it work. It is Oakland so I'll give the decor a pass, student tend to be a little destructive. All in all this is an excellent sushi place. I will definitely go back!!! read more

I've been wanting to come here for a while and wish I came sooner! The salmon poke bowl was filling, fresh, and affordable. The flavors worked great together and all of the components were dressed well. I would definitely come back for the poke bowls as well as to try the sushi. Would highly recommend Mount Everest Sushi for a quick lunch or dinner! They have a catering menu with large sushi trays, too. Since the restaurant is small, you can always take your food to Schenley Plaza and eat outside. read more

Really really good sushi in Oakland close to the hospitals. Do yourself a favor and step away from your desk or patients (safely of course!) and take a stroll down to Mount Everest sushi. I ordered spicy salmon, tuna, and two other combo rolls and they were all delicious with a beautiful presentation. There was plenty for 2 of us. I will definitely be ordering again. Next time I'll probably try the poke bowl. It looked yummy. read more

A fantastic sushi place with great quality. I have been here several times and always enjoy the food. During COVID, the takeout experience has been good as well. We ordered online and went to pick up and it was really nice that there was a table right at the door to pick up and pay for the food without entering the restaurant. Each roll we got was awesome, definitely stop by if you can! read more

When I was an undergrad at Pitt, I used to frequent Sushi Boat often. Back then, it was a low key, cheap establishment for tasty noodle bowls, soups, and basic sushi. Now, it appears to have been revamped into Mount Everest Sushi - the same level of tastiness but with a fresher look and more focused menu! The service is quick (each visit, I've seen two men working the front - looks like they work off each other to take turns preparing the food, taking orders, delivering food to tables, and cashing people out). I've tried the Salmon Poké, Sushi donut, and the Mount Everest roll here. The poké bowl is a very very, generous serving - a big bowl of rice, greens, seaweed salad, edamame, masago, and of course, salmon. Very fresh and definitely enough for a hearty and balanced meal. The sushi donut is very cute and a good portion for a light meal or snack. Priced at $6.75 for two, it's a great deal! The Mount Everest Roll was also huge and delicious. The interior is pretty bright and colorful. Like what they used to have for Sushi Boat, the menu is written on the chalkboard to the right when entering the restaurant, but for Mount Everest, they've organized & cleaned up the menu more, added some basic descriptions, and made it more colorful. read more

Quick update: this is my latest obsession in the area and satisfies all my sushi cravings!! Had to try the *sushi doughnut*. Smaller in size than I had expected, but so rich in taste! The sushi is fresh and artfully crafted. I think the vibrant colors attest to the freshness. It's a not as easy to eat as regular-way styled sushi, but I recommend taking a bite with some fish, avocado, rice, and seaweed on the bottom for the full experience! Only waited for what felt like 5-10 min. Perfect for my college budget & very accessible (situated in the heart of Oakland) read more

Some of the best sushi/ sashimi I have ever had. I decided to come here for lunch before my flight out of Pittsburgh. The meal here made me wish I had discovered this place earlier. The restaurant is more of a take out/ order and pay at the counter type. Seatings downstairs is very limited but they do have pretty good seatings upstairs. The people that work here are extremely nice. One of the guys even offered to carry my luggage upstairs. I decided to order the sashimi assortments B and the sushi donuts. This was way too much food for one person and I am sure I could have gotten full off just the sushi donuts, which were only $6. The sashimi came with variety of fishes, 3 pieces from each kind of fish. These were some of the freshest sashimi I have ever had. The presentation of the plate was phenomenal and was an art of its own. The sushi donuts were also fresh and delicious. I thought that the donut concept was so creative to the sushi game. I loved the spicy tuna on the donuts. All of the food came out super quickly. For all of the food I got, my order came out to be around $25. I highly recommend this place for some good sushi. I think it is a great addition to the Oakland area and is a great choice for college students who are on a budget. read more

Wow, this may be my new favorite lunch spot. I got the tuna poke bowl and it was amazing. All of the flavors meld so well together with the sushi rice and salad and tuna. My friend got the tuna tacos which she also said were amazing. And the price is so reasonable. I couldn't even finish my meal. There's a little bit of spice, which was just perfect for me. Also, it's very unassuming from the outside and even the first floor, so there weren't a ton of students lined up to order. There is some seating upstairs. You can order to go out in and they will bring your food upstairs to you. It is definitely the best sushi I've had in Oakland. 5 delicious stars. read more

I love sushi. I really love sushi. I kept seeing this place on Postmates and I was in the mood for some sush so I thought I'd try it (not before checking Yelp, though!). I'm always a little iffy ordering sushi from a delivery service but I was happy to see the stars and reviews so of course I went ahead and tried it. So happy I did! Finally a place with good poke! I ordered the sushi platter with a California roll, tuna, salmon, shrimp and some kind of white fish sashimi. Very good. Tasty. Fresh fish. I also ordered the salmon poke bowl. Salmon, crab, rice, edamame. The salmon and crab were on point. I enjoyed both dishes so much and I can't wait to order from here again. The fish is fresh and the presentation is lovely. Finally a sushi place that is quality and affordable. read more

I absolutely LOVED this place. The service was amazing, crazy friendly and accommodating. Felt like we were regulars. Walked in and was not expecting such an enthusiastic welcoming vibe. We sat upstairs, ate and visited with old friends. 10/10 will come back next time we are in town! read more

Have been meaning to try this place for a while. I got the house poke bowl which consisted of salmon, tuna, seaweed salad, and some pepper slaw with rice. This poke bowl was definitely the most flavorful one I have ever had. It was surprisingly very spicy. Almost, too spicy so just beware. The salmon and tuna was very good. Overall, I enjoyed my poke bowl. As there are not a lot of place to get poke in Pittsburgh, I will be back to try their salmon bowl. They have some seating upstairs. Prices are moderate. My poke bowl was 13.95. read more

First off, not only is the staff fantastic and the music fantastic but the fish is FRESH and delicious. I recently got a Poke bowl from a popular restaurant in Oakland, and the tuna was so old it TURNED TO MUSH as I bit into it. I ended up tossing 90% of the fish- so needless to say I was nervous about this Tuna Poke bowl. And I told the owner this, upon hearing this he said "If my tuna is old, I swear to you free food everyday!" And he sliced me a piece of tuna. People- IT WAS DIVINE. It was the perfect texture of Ahi tuna. Not smelly, not chewy and mushy. It was legitimately incredible. I have eaten sushi all over the world, and only twice has a chef offered a sample of the fish prior to purchase. The first time was in Tokyo, Japan and the second in this establishment. This act of kindness and decency truly sold this place for me. When an owner/ chef not only "talks the talk", but puts it out there for you to sample: this is the real deal. My friends, you have many options for "sushi" in Pittsburgh. But I can tell you this place offers sanitary ( this is crucial with raw fish), and delicious food delivered with a smile. Also, the playlist here is incredible. If you're looking for fresh and delicious sushi, not mechanically rolled, not frozen and past the due date, not handed to you with an eye roll than this is the place for you! P.S. I live in Monroeville, but work in Robinson. I leave work early to avoid the commute, and yet I drove into Oakland to get this sushi. Yes, you read that correct: I have a two tunnel rush hour commute and I chose to drive into Oakland for this food. And you know what? It was worth every second. What are you waiting for? Go get you something delicious and actually worth your money! Pittsburgh has finally gotten an upgrade. Get yourself sushi of quality and worth your hard earned money! read more

Great casual dining spot downtown for some quick no-frills sushi. Looked tiny initially but theres an upstairs seating area with at least another 4-5 tables. There were no daily specials when I went in for lunch so potentially a dinner or weekend thing. Prices seemed a little higher than expected given that it's order at counter type, but I was proved wrong. My specialty roll was huge! And on top of that really good! I got the Mount Everest and piece felt packed and the texture of the fish felt fresh. TBH, there was waaaaaay too much sauce on my sushi. Like drowned, like horribly drowned I used a spoon to scoop off. But IDK I still had such a satisfactory meal that I'd totally come back. Oh, dunno if they would refill ginger and wasabi for you, guess you can ask but its not service-based since you pay up-front. Was a hassle cause I sat upstairs. I like at least 3 refills of ginger . Wana go back to try nigiri! Feel like I didn't properly taste the flavor of the fishies. read more

This place replaced the old, somewhat run-down, Chinese and sushi joint that seemed somehow confused about its identity. Now the inside doesn't look like it's changed much, but the menu looks fresh and more innovative--while this is still primarily a sushi place, they also like to highlight their poke bowls, "sushi tacos," and "sushi donuts." I have not tried those latter two creations, but from a first impression the poke bowls are fantastic. They are huge for what you pay, everything's fresh from the fish to the vegetable to the rice, and there's great flavor all around. Most importantly, it's not just "sushi in a rice bowl," which is the closest thing that you can get in a neighboring establishment. They offer several different bowls, each with a different type of fish, but even that aside the combination of vegetables and salad will vary for each. For example, the salmon bowl seemed to be more lightly seasoned and also contained roe, so that the whole thing tasted a bit more "fishy," while the great white bowl (albacore) was aa bit heavier on the sauces. The picture here shows only a handful of ingredients, including both crab and seaweed salad and bonito flakes, but there are a lot of vegetables and a bed of sushi rice lying underneath, not to mention more fish. This is definitely an awesome addition to the Oakland restaurant scene, bringing something new and a bit more "refined" but not in a way that gentrifies out the mostly student customer base. read more

First time here. Visited with a colleague that has been before. Great recommendations: Poke bowl. However, I ordered the Mt Everest sushi roll and ginger salad. My roll was delicious.

This place is a gem. Went with my family on a Sunday at around 3, and there wasn't anyone else in the restaurant. Bad sign? Not at all. We started off with the tuna tacos, and they were amazing. They tasted SO fresh, and they had the perfect ratio of fish and fresh veggies, as well as being seasoned perfectly. I then got the tuna poke bowl, and it honestly blew my mind. There were two different types of tuna in the bowl- chunk tuna and, for lack of my knowledge on sushi terms, mushy tuna (not a bad mushy though!!). It also had seaweed salad, peppers, onions, lettuce (good spring mix), and white rice. It was so filling, so yummy, so fresh. I can't get over how good it was. If I wasn't concerned about mercury poisoning I'd eat it every day. It was so good that a few days later I went again to try the salmon poke bowl. It had chunk salmon and, I believe, imitation crab, plus all the fixings from the tuna bowl. SO GOOD. You guys I'm obsessed with this place. The fish is so fresh and the employees are so nice.
