Diners 2+1

I have been going here regularly for years now. The quality of the fish is as good, if not better, than any of the "high end" sushi spots in town. I have taken my family and introduced all my friends -- it is my first recommendation for anyone looking for a place to try. I don't leave many reviews but this place REALLY deserves it. They have super fast service, affordable (and high quality) meals, and very friendly staff.

Local joint with extremely friendly service and fresh fish! We got the boat for 2 and you can see the thick cuts and large portions. I definitely recommend as a good spot!

Sushi was okay. Not the best I've ever had, but not the worst. Ordered it for pick up, didn't eat in.

Sushi was fabulous! Ordered delivery via GH. Had the yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño and the mixed sashimi with a side of rice. Amazingly fresh and the rice was easy to eat with the sushi! Flavor of the rice was good as well. Will be back and order again!

I was really craving sushi on a Monday night and so many places in Pittsburgh are closed on Mondays! Diners 2+1 saved the day for me. It was pretty empty when we arrived around 6pm. We ordered the maki #1 and dragon roll to share. I love a good dragon roll and this one did not disappoint. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I was not a huge fan of the salmon roll in the maki combo but the tuna and California rolls were good. Im glad I finally made it out to try this place! I will definitely come back. There is only street parking for those of you that get nervous about parking.

I am traveling. The reason I stopped in this place is because I saw it listed on Yelp's Top 100 Sushi Restaurants in the US. As of today's date (07.16.2024) it sits at #97.The ambiance is casual. You can roll in with your tank and shorts or hoodie and sweats. It looks like your typical quick service place on the inside - nothing fancy. They do have a carry out option or door dash BUT they do have a limited number of tables for dine in.The soup came out piping hot which was great! I really enjoyed the soup. The salad had lettuce and seaweed in it topped with a vinaigrette, I believe. I went with sushi options and the sushi was okay. It was passable and pleasant enough. I feel like this spot is in a good area and is definitely a nice option if you're passing through town with a craving for sushi. Several tables around me had the Sukiyaki which did look delicious, but I did not get to try it. If I ever return, that would definitely be something I tried instead of sushi!

Massive boat of sushi. $100 - lunch. Was good but could have fed five! We had some problem communicating with staff which led to the large order. I would go again!!

Diners 2+1 has done a lot over the last year and became so much better. They have menu options that are hard to find elsewhere in town. I really enjoyed their sukiyaki and yakiniku. I've been craving both for a while and they're decently priced here. The portion sizes are also pretty big, with a variety of different meats and veggies. I don't think their sushi is as good though. Would recommend sukiyaki and yakiniku instead. Kudos to them for trying to bring new Asian cuisines to Pittsburgh and not being afraid to try new things. The setting is casual, but there's only limited tables for yakiniku right now. 不过微信群预约也超方便，老板回复也快。The service is also pretty good. I remember when they first started upgrading their menu starting with sukiyaki, the boss personally went around to each table to talk to the guests and ask for their opinions. Do we think it's reasonably priced, are the portions good, etc. I really appreciated that they took the time to curate their new menu items.

This was our first visit to the famed "Diners 2+1", a Top 100 sushi spot in the country according to one rating process (#97). Having eaten tons of sushi in Chicago and San Francisco for decades, bottom-line up-front (B.L.U.F.): it's good! Service was attentive, pleasant and accurate. Prices were reasonable and selections, while somewhat limited (they were out of crab Rangoon and some salmon dishes), were decent. Ambiance is a little lacking and could use a little (not much) "facelift"...unused cooking items should be stored out of sight. ***There is no liquor license, so no beer, wine, spirits and definitely no sake which would go very well with the tasty food!***. We will eat here again.

Yum! This is such a cute place for sushi in Squirrel Hill. We found street parking right across the street on a Wednesday evening but there is a paid parking lot under Carnegie Library you can use that's a short walk away if it's a busier day. I got the spicy california and the dragon roll and both were incredibly delicious and filling! The ingredients were all fresh and the rolls were some of the best I've had in the city. Our waitress was great as well
