Itamae Thai and Sushi Bar 193 Castle Shannon Boulevard, Pittsburgh, PA 15228

"Everything was amazing! Victor made us the most amazing sushi boat. The fish was so fresh! I would not have expected sushi this amazing in Pittsburgh. They gave me a kimchi sauce to dip the spicy tuna roll in that I wish I could take home. My husband had the Pad See Ew that was delicious. Service was also wonderful.. this place is a gem. I HIGHLY recommend!"

"This is by far the best sushi I have had since moving to Pittsburgh! This is no exaggeration. I’ve been back numerous times and sampled many rolls and sashimi. Fantastic!!! I’ve also ordered Thai dishes to take home and was very satisfied. This is an amazing addition to Mt. Lebanon’s restaurant scene and an asset to the entire Pittsburgh region. They have raised the bar big time in a charming space. Added bonus, Hitchhiker Brewing is across the street! Bam!"

"5 stars all around! The owners of this restaurant are so sweet and you can tell they have a real passion for what they are doing. The restaurant is warm and welcoming and the presentation of their dishes is beautiful. Vic makes the best sushi I've ever had, hands down! I have tried many things from the menu and every single thing is absolutely delicious. Very good Pad Thai and Pad Kee Mao. The kids menu is perfect for any age. My kids (3&6) loved the chicken fried rice."

"This is about to become the best spot for Sushi and Thai in the South Hills. I stopped in for lunch and had a fantastic time. Vick, the owner/sushi chef, made me hamachi (yellowtail) roll, unagi (eel) roll, yellowtail cheek, a special donburi with chu-toro and ikura, a delicious salad with homemade ginger dressing, and a sweet Thai donut. Absolutely delicious. I'm so impressed and can't wait to visit again. We've needed a top notch sushi spot in this area for way too long and now it's here!"

"5 stars! This hidden gem just opened up and it's fantastic! The sushi is incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. I also tried the steak teriyaki and it was delicious - perfectly seasoned and flavorful. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. I loved the warm and welcoming atmosphere - the owners are a lovely family who are clearly passionate about their food. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes! Highly recommend!"
