This is world-class dining (minus the pretentious vibe that usually accompanies it elsewhere). Chef Michael Taylor creates Michelin worthy plates with an artist’s touch. Each piece in his ever evolving menu is thoughtfully prepared with creative ingredients and textures that set him apart from the rest. We now travel from out of state just to experience it.

Great place for marvelous cocktails and fresh sushi with friends. Very nice subtleties in flavors between dishes, so try several. We each tried 2-3 of gin drinks, including a basic gin and tonic. Staff are extremely attentive and friendly. It's ok if you are new to sushi. They will discreetly assist with selection and descriptions. The bathroom was very clean. The high-end bidet was a hoot. These are all small bites. It isn't a pound of potato pierogies in butter! Be prepared to enjoy a slow meal from a thoughtfully prepared menu with crisp beverage supplements.

One of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time and honestly probably top 3 restaurant in Pittsburgh. Service and ambiance were amazing. I have a nut and shellfish allergy and they accommodated me every step of the way. Each dish was perfectly balanced, the drinks were clearly curated and made to perfection, and the dessert (apple spice cake) was the perfect way to end a great night. Worth the wait. Worth the price. 10/10. Highly recommend.

Worth the wait!! Had to make a reservation a few months in advance and glad we did. The menu is a little overwhelming but the server was very helpful with explaining it all. Loved the corner table we had - best seat in the house if I can be honest. The gin cocktails are so good, I had the cat in pajamas and Roku 75. Really enjoyed our meal. We split a plate, each had four pieces and split an appetizer. It was enough for me but I think my husband would have liked a little more.

いただきます FINALLY found a legit Japanese food. We lived in Japan it was tough to find authentic Japanese food in PA. Tough to compare BUT Gi-Jin…🙌🏽⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My hubby and I ordered A5 Miyazaki Wagyu nigiri, wow, wow,wow! Melts in your mouth. Just had to give highlight on their A5 Miyazaki Wagyu. It’s a must. $27 a pop that you will never regret. I could have ordered 4 more for myself but I didn’t want my hubby to pass out. LOL😆 What else we ordered: Salad- was yummy. Good balance of the ginger dressing with the salad. Crunchy onions was done perfect. Toro nigiri- i can still remember how it melts in your mouth. You don’t even need shoyu for that. Spicy tuna hand roll -yum yum Sashimi platter- you can’t go wrong, all of them melts in your mouth. I was a bit concerned about the sea brim but I had my doubts bc I was concerned it was gonna be rubbery, or making it a red snapper (🤢)It was delicious. Best sea-brim. Toro hand roll was 👊🏽 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had to slow down and took my time eating this. So good! My hubby ordered spicy scallop handroll. He loved it. I’m not a big fan of raw scallop (it’s a texture thing for me..lol) Wasabi microgreens and shiso leaf! Omg…brought back memories of living in Japan. Can I say the wasabi was authentic? They did add daikon but I get it. Real wasabi is pricey. So good! Best wasabi I must say. Balance of that punch was just right. Tsukemono and pickled ginger were delish! I could have had a bigger bowl for that. Lol! I will never go anywhere else except Gi-Jin for real sushi/sashimi experience. Service was amazing! We got lucky that there was avail seating. We didn’t know we had to make reservations. It was meant to be. Now we me now! Thank you for the experience. We sat outside and love the ambience of the outdoor seating. Weather was nice so we were happy to be seat outside. Especially for not having reservation. We will take it. ごちそうさまでした　(Gochisōsamadeshita) Thank you for the meal!
