Yuzu Kitchen - Pittsburgh

My boyfriend and I recently had dinner in Pittsburgh for our first night here, and I have to say this place is fantastic. The service was excellent, and I was pleased to see our servers showing their individuality with piercings and tattoos. The only drawback was that our ramen was a bit too peppery, but the great service and atmosphere more than made up for it.

This restaurant serves delicious Japanese cuisine with a warm and welcoming staff. Some dishes, like the fried rice and noodles, can be a bit greasy. However, their salt and pepper fried tofu and garlic bok choy are particularly tasty. The ambiance and decor are decent, and there are several vegetarian options. Parking is available on the street or in a nearby paid lot.

The food, service, and ambiance of the restaurant were overshadowed by the incredibly rude and uptight hostess. Despite looking forward to our meal as out-of-town visitors, we were met with hateful greetings and disrespectful treatment for simple requests. We will not be returning and do not recommend this place to anyone. The hostess should not be representing this restaurant as it would be difficult for her to greet customers with a smile and a simple kind gesture.

Amazing food, excellent service, and was able to accommodate our party of 8. How they tracked the order digitally made it much easier to split the checks at the end of the night. Unique alcohol and mocktail selection with a nice bar area while you wait for the rest of your party.

First time eaters and will definitely return!! Food was excellent and very generous portions.
