“ Chaya offers pretty authentic sushi & sashimi with reasonable pricing. I know that when I see wasabi between the fish and the rice of a sushi. I've ordered takeouts from here a couple of times after fall 2020 and find their ingredients very fresh. For sushi and sashimi, they have all the common choices (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, shrimp etc.). Although you may not find higher-end fish choices here, their pricing is very reasonable considering the food quality. Their combos come with an additional roll and sides, which is a generous portion size compared to some high-end Japanese restaurants. I'll definitely order from them again. ”
“ As a Pittsburgh native, I was introduced to Chaya several years ago and I have visited many times. I have always been impressed by the authenticity to traditional Japanese cuisine and I have learned a lot. This was the first place where I tried Chawanmushi, a regular staple in my kitchen to this day. I wish I had photos of the wonderful experience I had here with my husband for his birthday. I don't even have words to express how special this experience was. We had a limited 2 person, private seating for a true traditional kaiseki experience. It was absolutely amazing. I give 5 + stars for everything. Produce quality, creativity with dishes, quality of dishes, service, timing, cleanliness, atmosphere, charm ... I could go on Chaya is a true gem in the Pittsburgh restaurant setting community. ”
“ Amazing place!~~~ HIGHLY recommend! I was busy eating and didn't have a chance to take all the pictures. ”
“ Definitely the best sushi place I've been to in Pittsburgh. This restaurant is like a diamond in a sea of food poisoning. It's easy to tell the chef was well trained in how to prepare fish, everything was very clean and well prepared. Their sashimi and sushi are very fresh and the combination dinners are worth the price. The staff was very attentive and respectful and service was great. The food was prepared incredible fast, there was hardly a wait for anything. It was surprising to see this restaurant so packed on a weekday night but obviously it's because it's a place people want to come back to often. ”
“ Very solid sushi. I got the avocado and salmon roll which is normally my go to for sushi places. Our waitress was very attentive and was sure to answer all of our questions. My roll was very good and it was made just to my liking. I have zero complaints. The only thing I have to say is that there is a separate menu for the sushi rolls and it wasn't clear to me or the people I was dining with where this was located. I would recommend that the hostess point this out upon seating. ”
“ The best basic rolls I've had in Pittsburgh! The service was good and the rolls were fresh, simple, and delicious. I'd say the price point is very fair. This is going to be my go-to for sushi from now on! ”
