I did that place a loooooong time ago but didn’t eat sushi then. I’ll give it a shot because I forgot there was anything at all in Station Square anymore.

I had bad cholesterol due to heredity, so I stopped eating red meat and eat primarily fish now. I travel a ton for work so I eat mostly sushi every where I go. I’m always up for finding good places. I’ve hit everything in Pittsburgh (that isn’t “all you can eat”) at least twice (in case they had a bad day or something), but I forgot totally about that place. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah I understand where you are coming from with the Quality / Quantity connection, but Kiku still ranks at the top of my List in Pittsburgh for ala carte or the All you can eat deal.

I forgot about Kiku, good call, try that one. Loved the shabu-shabu there as well, if someone in your party wants some non-sushi stuff. Teriyaki chicken is a good choice too for them.

As for Las Vegas, Nobu in Hard Rock, Rick Moonen in Mandalay Bay and RA in fashion mall area are really good but fairly expensive. If you go to RA, get the kobe beef sushi roll. Awesome flavor.

X2 - My wife and I have been going there since they opened. Great sushi and service!

There is also a place on Steubenville Pike about 2 miles from Rt79 that opened a few years ago that is good and reasonably priced.

why…? you arne’t getting good food there, you’re paying for the atmosphere… we went to one in nassau and it was junk… nothing special… more of a circle jerk of preppy fucks IMO… wasn’t better than other places in the same location… just chain yuppy garbage.

umi is good in shady side.

We went to Umis on saturday night. I was very impressed with the atmosphere, the food and the service was great as well. I didnt think the prices were too outrageous but it def isnt some place I would go every time I was craving sushi. If any of you plan on going sometime soon, try the sea urchin, its incredible.

Nakama is over rated in my book, decent food but not for the money. Fuji on Steubenville Pike in Robinson is my pick for a hidden gem. Great sushi, even better prices and it is BYOB!

Same goes for Yakoso. There is a place on Murray Ave in Sq. Hill. It’s a small place and BYOB, they don’t take reservations, it’s first come first serve, but the fish is so fresh and good. [http://www.chayausa.com/index.html](http://www.chayausa.com/index.html)
