In my order of preference: Kotobuki Sushi Too Sushi Kim Hana Kiku Kotobuki is in the North hills (not easy to find without good directions and knowledge of which "Babcock Road" is the right one), but in my opinion clearly the best Japanese food, including sushi, in the area. Not cheap (a little bit more for everything than Sushi Too), but well worth the trip. If you go, do _not_ miss the ginger tea! You appear to know Sushi Too, so I'll skip the review. Sushi too does deliver, or is it through Wheel Deliver? Sushi Kim is a Korean restaurant/sushi bar on Penn avenue between the strip district and downtown. Small place, but pretty good sushi and somewhat cheaper than Sushi Too, especially for their combination platters. Their Korean food gets good reviews too, though I admit to always ordering sushi when there. Hana is downtown on the second floor of a building on Market square, and has a saturday night all-you can eat sushi/tempura special for $20 bucks or so. Better than Kiku's special, with less mayonnaise-based crab/fish mix gunk, but they still bring you what they have, not order-your-own. Kiku. Others may disagree, but I went once and haven't been back. There's supposed to be someplace in Turtle creek I haven't yet found, but that does it for my knowledge.

Sushi Kim's in the strip on Penn Ave is my favorite ! Reasonable prices and good quality ! give it a try mike
The mystery japanese rest. in turtle creek is called Kabuki. It is somewhere in the middle of churchill, toward turtle creek. I think the road is Rt. 130 (I suggest calling them for directions). Service can be slow. I recommend it for japanese food, not for sushi.
There is also Young bin Kwan or something in Bloomfield near the Pgh Brewing Co. I like the fact that they have Chinese Japanese andd Korean food in a nice atmosphere so that I can take out less adventersome people and still get my Sushi fix.

Worst sushi I've ever had. I sent it back: Limp, old, warm fish. Their korean food is very good, however. Andy

You obviously haven't tried the sushi at the chinese/japanese place on Business 22 between the Monroeville cinemas and the mall. I forget the name, but it was absolutely nasty in every respect save for one: the really weird decor (part karoke bar, part gaudy chinese, part fern bar, part church). The sushi was rancid, the rest of the food was disgusting, the service was atrocious. Avoid. Doug
