Umami - Strip District

Great spot in Lawrenceville! It’s on the smaller side so I would definitely recommend a reservation. On my most recent visit, we shared the pork gyoza, okonomiyaki, and a few skewers. The okonomiyaki is excellent! Then we had an off menu sushi roll that our server was nice enough to suggest and ask the chef to prepare for us. Cocktails were yummy!

Everything a Japanese restaurant should be! The meat and fish skewers were incredible and the gyoza was unlike anything I have ever had before. Best Japanese food in Pittsburgh! Beware we went in when the place was empty and the food still took forever. However, it is worth it!!!!

The food, service and vibe is the BEST in Pittsburgh! I've been here for work and pleasure and the atmosphere is like something out of a Netflix TV series. The staff and management work in perfect cohesion. The owners are friendly and down to earth. Everyone is humble and hard working. I will make sure to visit every time I'm here from NYC!

Exceptional sushi and a really cozy atmosphere. Glad we have this place in Pittsburgh, haven’t found a bad thing in the menu yet.

Took wife out for her birthday. Was amazing. Drinks, sushi, all perfect. Will return.
