    While researching a few restaurant ideas for a ladies night out, I came across Sakura, which may be my new go-to sushi spot. The location itself does feel a little like a hole in the wall, but what they do give you is quality. We ordered a few different rolls which we shared so that we could try a variety: spicy salmon, Philadelphia, and eel rolls. Each roll was fresh and very tasty. During the meal, the staff was attentive to our needs but was great about giving us space to catch up. Next time I'm in the mood for sushi, I'm ordered Sakura!

    Each roll better!  Hard to choose!

    We went strictly for sushi. This was our first visit. We were extremely pleased. YAY Staff: very friendly Atmosphere: nicely casual Menu: HUGE, very descriptive Sushi: great flavors, very fresh, beautiful presentation HMMM It was honestly a bit difficult to order additional sushi. This should not be the case. Also, at no time was a fork offered... friend was a little shakey on the 'no utensil backup plan' but was up for the challenge and came out of the deal with better 'stick skills! And, of course, the plum wine was mighty fine! Would definitely go back. Everywhere does not make fabulous sushi - this place definitely does!

    They have fantastic prices for bento box lunch specials at $7.95 each which includes miso soup, various types of sushi rolls, gyoza, and tempura. This is what I usually have and haven't gone for dinner more than once or twice. It's of reasonable quality but nothing special. Sometimes the tempura is very overdone. For my visit today everything came out cooked well though. The green tea has a lot of residual powder in it. It's a worthwhile place for decent Asian Fusion at cheap lunch prices.

    Lobster roll with added cream cheese and California roll.

    The best sushi in pgh. I always get the lobster sushi and some soup, and it has been amazing every time. I've also gotten lobster roll and added cream cheese as well as the CA roll. All AMAZING. I also have gotten pork lo Mein and that has been phenomenal too. Also very sweet staff! Highly recommend.

    A couple of friends warned me not to ("awful" and "tastes nothing like Japanese food"), but curiosity brought me here on a Tuesday night. Okay, it really isn't that bad. Craving sushi? The fish isn't the freshest, but this is not the worst place to get sushi in Pittsburgh. (Trust me; I've had much worse.) Unless you have ridiculously high standards, you'll probably be satisfied if you order the right rolls. We ordered the shrimp tempura roll, dragon roll, salmon avocado roll, and the red dragon roll. The red dragon roll was probably the best of the four, but all of them were average to good. And I wasn't even hungry; if I were, then I'd probably think they tasted better. Boyfriend was a bit more harsh though ("it's a little better than GEagle's sushi"). The only thing that really bothered me was that the AC wasn't on even though it was 80 degrees out.

    I am so glad I heard about Sakura from a Pittsburgh food blogger. The Eight treasures bbq pork, hand ripped beef noodles, and Laotongguan pork sandwich were all delicious. It was a crispy noodle pancake with tender, juicy pork. The wide, ripped beef noodle dish had a great limey-spicy oily flavor. The service was great and we will definitely return to try more food on the menu. We had a great meal for a great price.

    Truly worth the visit! The staff was very friendly. We ordered our meal based on Instagram influence and couldn't be more pleased with the result. We ordered the Laotongguan Pork and the Eight Treasure Spicy Sandwiches. Both were appetizers and both we delicious. Such amazing flavors and paired well with a Sapporo. We then finished on the Xinjiang Style Chicken and the noddle, minced pork and bok choy dish that isn't on the menu. They both came with noodles which may have been too much noodles. Otherwise, the flavors were outstanding. I'm looking forward to returning and trying more dishes!!

    I just stumbled upon this place a few weeks ago, despite the fact that I try to visit squirrel hill as often as I can. I tried the sushi on my first visit. I love sushi, and I know who's good and who's not so great in Pittsburgh. It's very good. The quality of fish is excellent, and they have a nice variety of platters and specialty rolls. We tried a lot that day, and liked everything. Today I was in the mood for something hot, as the summers coming to an end and tonight is almost jacket weather. The owner, Ping Geng, came up to my table and showed me a menu with traditional Chinese dishes on it. I literally just drove back into town from Toronto's Chinatown earlier today, and eagerly wanted to try something traditional offered locally. Everything was excellent, from the eight treasure spicy sandwich, to the scallion puff pancake, to the BBQ pork sandwich to the house made dumplings. In addition, there's a Chinese brunch menu offered on Saturdays and Sunday's from 10am-1pm that I'm very interested in trying.

    changed chef. Dishes looks and tastes like this. I took photos. It's getting worse and worse for this restaurant.

    I'll be dreaming of their thick, chewy, savory handcut noodles. We also got a dumpling sampler and loved all of those too.

    A weekly spot for my family and I! My partner's mom is Japanese and this is the only Japanese…read morerestaurant in pgh she will go to. Reservations are highly recommended - it's on the smaller side. The menu has so many options and an amazing variety. One thing to note is this Japanese food is not like most others. Its focus is on homestyle, also fried/stir fried Japanese dishes. So do not expect Ramen or noodle soups. A couple things that are always ordered is the Kaarage, Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki (best in the city), yakisoba or udon, and gyoza. The staff is so sweet and the decorations remind me of Izakaya places in larger cities. They have a bar with cool cocktails and adorable bento boxes they sell during lunch hours throughout the week. Cannot recommend this place enough!!

    I went in a group, and we split a lot of different items. The seaweed salad was good (4/5), and the…read morepork gyoza was all right (3/5). The takoyaki has a crunchy outside and a good flavor (4/5), and the okonomiyaki is pretty filling (4/5); these were the best two. The yaki-udon with shrimp was ok (3/5) but definitely expensive for what it was and the quantity; they also don't add much shrimp, despite the up charge. The sake no shioyaki was below average for salmon (2/5) and very expensive for that amount they give you. Similarly, the onigiri is almost entirely rice if you add salmon (2/5). You order on a tablet, and they bring the food out. Service was ok (3/5); we had empty waters for a while. The restaurant is well-decorated, and you can see the chefs work, which gives it an ambiance somewhat like a hibachi place (4/5). Overall, I think most of the items are pretty expensive for what they are; they don't have the quality or quantity to justify the price.

As far as the food goes, our pacing was a little bit off as we had some long gaps between dishes, but we really enjoyed the sushi, small plates and the entree sized dishes across the board. The stand out to me was the fatty tuna special. Service was friendly, and although it was a bit pricey, I think we got good value for the meal and service we were provided.

    Fantastic experience. Great hospitality, great food and even better cocktails…read more It is pretty difficult to get a reservation here for the end of the week. I've been meaning to come since it opened. I was finally able to get a seat on a Tuesday night and got a reservation just earlier that day. So that's probably your best bet. Seating is pretty limited. You'll likely be seated at the counter and able to watch as the staff makes the food and drinks. I had different types of sushi, every piece was fresh and delicious. I also tried the street noodles which was a nice carb to have. I got it to share but I do think it's a bit small, I would've been able to finish that and more on my own lol. I very much enjoyed the cocktails. You can tell they were intently crafted. The hospitality was top-notch. Was seated right away, there was a lot of communication, and presentation was fantastic. Just great staff all around. If it's not clear yet, this place is definitely worth your time
