Sushi Too

I had forgotten what bad sushi tastes like. Now I remember.
I am not a sushi expert but I enjoy sushi, and have been to countless sushi restaurants. I’ve been to phenomenal 5 star places in Miami and California, and also great hole in the wall places. I’m easy to please I think. Heck, I enjoy Giant Eagle Sushi.
I wish I would have gone to Giant Eagle.
I came for a quick lunch, sat at the sushi bar and ordered the sashimi lunch special. Came with salad and soup. Perhaps I should have ordered a roll?
The sushi bar area had an unpleasant order. But I held my nose and stayed. The soup and salad were completely mediocre, but not bad. Well the soup was OK. Salad was limp with excessive dressing.
The sashimi was just not good. The tuna was tough. And several of the other pieces just had a mushy texture and no good flavor. I partially blame myself for even getting so sashimi. A sushi roll would’ve been a much safer bet. The quality of the fish is less apparent in that setting.
The service, was pleasant and quick. I got in and out very quickly. The price was also very reasonable for a sushi lunch. I spent only $ 10. So if you do decide to come to this place, try a lunch special for the price, and do not get sashimi. Try a funky roll. Maybe that will be good.

I live really close to here so this is my takeout and delivery go to for sushi. It’s not the most fresh sushi or the best deal, but when you’re too lazy to eat out or drive to Ginza, it perfectly satisfies your craving. They have a pretty large menu but I generally stick to the sushi entrees, so I can’t speak to any of their hot foods. I usually stay with the basics– tuna and hamachi rolls, shashimi and nigiri. I don’t really like the spicy tuna because it’s mashed up fish rather than sliced tuna, and I generally avoid the more creative rolls because the sauces are too much. The sushi combos such as the royal platter ($ 24) are the best deal because it comes with soup, salad, rice and multiple rolls or shashimi/​nigiri. It’s enough for me to spit into two meals.

sushi was awesome but amount is little. Clean and tidy but not the restroom. Services r nice

Exceptional value for money and they always smile when they see you. I love the lunch menu! :-)

As a general rule, I love sushi, so as a sushi lover, Sushi Too is a huge disappointment. The selection was not great, the service was slow and the fish was not good. There was dust all over the ledge of the booth (it is like a ledge for decorations next to the table) and the bathroom was filthy and doubles as storage for high chairs and other miscellaneous items. Cleanliness is an issue here, which is a big deal for restaurants in general, but especially so for a sushi spot.
The food was not gross and spoiled rotten, but was not fresh and had an odd taste, like it was low quality. I honestly considered leaving a few bites of sashimi on my plate, which is very unlike me. The sesame salad dressing was very good and I liked the miso soup. I did not get sick after eating at Sushi Too, but I will not be returning. My boyfriend felt the same way as me and did not finish his meal, stating that it tasted odd.

Best miso soup in Pittsburgh. Beef teriyaki, chicken lo mein/​katsu, and curry with tofu and vegetables are a few delicious highlights. The sushi is good too!

My date ordered sushi and I ordered a vegetable noodle soup. I didn’t get my soup until 20 minutes after his sushi and I didn’t eat it because there was a egg in it. When the waitress came and asked if I needed a box I said no. She asked if I was happy with the soup and I said no and explained about the egg. She didn’t care. Maybe if my main dish would have arrived at the same time as my date’s I would have had time to ask for something else but he was already finished. So I paid for a soup I didn’t eat… very disappointing. Also the bathroom was gross.

We ordered Crazy Dragon Roll, Noodle Soup and Pittsburgh Roll. The rolls were very good, especially the Crazy Dragon. The Noodle soup was okay. We don’t like the vegetables in the soup. The waitress was not very friendly to us.

This place is home to one of my favorite Pittsburgh delicacies: the Sushi Spring roll (called «SSR» from here on). There’s nothing remarkable about the restaurant otherwise. My 4 star review rides solely on the back of this magical little treat. It’s basically a fried piece of heaven, like forserious. They’re so good, they were probably made by Jesus himself.
On the outside, it looks like any other spring roll, but once you bite in, a journey begins: you go through four flavor stages by eating the SSR. FIRST, a crispy little exterior mixed with the delicious sweet sauce they come with. Second, a mix of perfectly cooked rice and veggies.
Next, the sushi comes to play. Finally, like Captain Planet, the ingredients all combine to form a super-​tasty-​happy-​time-​Asian flavorgasm. Enjoy.

I orderee takeout, the Miso Soup and spicy tuna roll. When I walked in I was charmed by its dated interior nestled into the high end shops on Shadyside’s Walnut Street. It’s a hole in the wall vibe that draws you in.
This was the first time I’ve had Miso soup so I’m not in much of a position to rate it, but I think it’s a typical recipe, Wakame, tofu, scallions, and topped w mushrooms. My taste buds felt like it should’ve been saltier. The spicy tuna roll was on par with most maki rolls, the caviar mixed with the spicy tuna was a nice surprise.

Always my favorite sushi place. Great location here on Walnut street. All maki rolls are incredible and surprisingly cheap too!

Can a sushi place be more bad? I highly doubted. The owner and waiters are rude and the food is a joke

We got the sushi boat, which came with an assortment of sashimi, sushi, california rolls, and tuna rolls and started off with miso soup and salad with ginger dressing. I’m sure the dressing had a mayonnaise base, which is fine, but I wish the taste of ginger was stronger. Our miso soup was warm, not hot. The sushi rolls were not very good at all. The sushi was alright, and while some of the sashimi was delicious, the rest of it was mediocre. I hate to leave such a harsh critique, because the people working there seemed very nice, but based on the food alone, I will not be going back.

What a disappointment. I always give restaurants the benefit of the doubt especially when I see the low ratings on Unilocal.But this time I should’ve listened to my instincts.
The green tea I ordered was lukewarm and tasted like chemicals. The udon noodles were cooked well however the broth was just water. The roast duck saved the dish as it was tender and plentiful.
The biggest problem was the listening skills of our waitress. My husband asked three times while ordering if he could have soy paper. The waitress seemed to understand. Then when he got the roll and it had seaweed, he just sent it back and canceled the order. When we asked for the check the waitress said that they were making another one with soy paper. We again reminded her that we canceled the order. She said she didn’t hear and apologized and thankfully they didn’t put that roll on the bill.
My yellowtail roll was ok. Nothing fantastic. The duck tempura roll was more breading and less duck.
If you’re in the area, you’d be better off going to Soba or Plum Kitchen.

The first time I came to Sushi Too, I ordered some rolls. They were terrible.
Months later, I decided to give it another try by ordering some real sushi — the chirashizushi (also known as the chirashi don), which is only available on the physical menu in the restaurant and not on the online menus. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. It was actually pretty good. It consisted of a good variety of fish, including (if I remember correctly) lean tuna, fatty tuna, farmed Atlantic salmon, octopus, snapper. While these pieces of sashimi are not particularly outstanding, they are not too bad for a budget sushi restaurant (unlike the unfresh stuff found in certain other Pittsburgh sushi restaurants). The egg and the crab sticks were welcome additions too.
I’d give it four stars for the quality of the chirashi, but then numerous fruit flies and sticky stains on the tables warrant the subtraction of another star.

I took a business lunch at Sushi Too. How adult does that sound? «Business lunch.» Man, I’m a cool graduate student.
Disclaimer: I have NO IDEA what this place’s hours are. Unilocal shows that they close in between meals, but we lunched straight through from lunch to dinner. I’m sorry if they do close, but Unilocal needs to see if the hours listed are correct.
Service was great and continued to check on us throughout our four hour meeting. Some of the reviews were lackluster so I played it safe and stuck to Chicken Lo Mein ($ 15). It was not memorable, and fairly small for the price. But there was nothing wrong with the meal, making it an A-​Ok.
Would I be opposed to coming back? No. I just think there are other more exciting options in the area.

Good cheap sushi! My go to for sushi cravings. Always start with salad and ginger dressing and miso soup. Both are delicious and at this point I don’t think I could eat here without ordering them. I usually go for assortment of rolls. The dragon roll with eel and avocado, the tricolor roll with fish laying on top, and the good old spicy tuna roll. Also like the roll with either salmon or tuna and asparagus but cannot remember then name. The sushi boats for 2 are fun but even getting an assortment of things to share they will dress that up on a platter as well. Full bar and Japanese beer.

Horrible experience with this place. My friend and I ordered take out (via GrubHub). First of all, t hey took TWO HOURS to bring us our food. Every time we called to check the status they said «it’s on the way» and we’re extremely rude, vague, and unhelpful (this place is 1.2 miles from where we ordered).
All of that aside, when the food arrived, it was terrible. It smelled like rotten trash and other people with us kept asking what the horrible smell is. I’m not sure if it was because it was made 2 hours ago or what but it was gross. We gave it a try regardless and we’re not satisfied and ended up throwing it away (even the 6 other people we were with didn’t want it).
Haven’t been here and I don’t know if this was an off night but I won’t be trying it again.

Visiting Sushi Too was truly refreshing. As a recent transplant to Pittsburgh, I’ve had issues finding decent sushi that isn’t over priced. Sushi Too delivered in an unexpected and pleasant way. I give Sushi Too ⁴⁄₅ stars for the following reasons:
Atmosphere: ⁵⁄₅
Sushi Too offers the feeling of a cozy yet high-​end sushi restaurant. Features such as custom high quality napkins, high quality chop sticks and a relaxed atmosphere, help make you feel very comfortable here. Though this place may be a bit small, the feeling is just right!
Service: ⁴⁄₅
The service here is quite nice. Everyone seems happy and was constantly smiling. The only complaint I have was the waiting time for our meal, due to one sushi chef serving the entire dining area. I feel this is more of a timing issue though, as we visited between the lunch and dinner rush.
Food: ⁴⁄₅
Biting in to my sushi rolls truly was the best part of my visit here. The food was prepared excellently, with large portions for their sides. I’ve had many tempura rolls but the Asparagus veggie tempura roll was extremely delicious (and cheap!). The only reason I did not give Sushi Too a ⁵⁄₅ in this category was due to their limited selections. I am a traditionalist when it comes to sushi and felt that there were a lot of classic rolls that simply weren’t there. Don’t let this discourage you though, their selection still provides some great options for vegetarians and carnivores alike. I recommend checking out their special rolls of the day.
Price: ⁵⁄₅
I was pleased to get out of a sushi restaurant for under $ 25, for two people. The price was right here, without any price gouging that I’ve seen in other places around the ‘Burgh. In short, Sushi Too will not be breaking the bank.
Overall: ⁴⁄₅
Sushi Too is an establishment that successfully blends delicious food, atmosphere, and service. I was very happy with my visit and will definitely return to further explore their menu.

I have heard about Sushi Too and seen it several times on Walnut St, but I never stopped in until a few days ago. My boyfriend and I were really craving sushi, and this seemed like a good spot to go.
The restaurant wasn’t crowded at all, which was nice. Unfortunately, I was freezing to death the entire time because I was directly under the AC vents. That made it a little uncomfortable, but I dealt with it.
The staff here was unbelievably kind. The ladies serving us were nice, not pushy and somewhat attentive. I feel like refills could have been given more frequently, but oh well.
I am a vegetarian, so I ordered cold sesame noodles and a vegetable tempura roll with zucchini. My boyfriend ordered a vegetable tempura roll with asparagus, and a sunshine roll.
The sesame noodles were absolutely delicious, but I would have liked less peanut sauce. It was a bit salty, and there was a lot of excess. Something about it made my stomach a little irritated, but it still tasted good enough to finish. I’ll have to ask for the peanut sauce on the side next time so that I can adjust it to my preferences. My vegetable roll was really good. I’m a huge zucchini fan, so the slight crispiness of the tempura batter and the softness of the zucchini made me happy. I put spicy mayo on top to add a little kick. I could have easily eaten these all day and night. One roll is surprisingly filling, though! And for only $ 5.
I can’t judge the fish roll my boyfriend ordered, but he said it was average compared to the sushi he has had near beaches.
I’ll definitely be back to Sushi Too, but I may not eat inside. The atmosphere is bland, and it’s really a small space. I would rather get it to go and eat at the park or something. The price is reasonable, and the service is great.
