Sushi Kim 2

Happened to stumble upon this place after the 2 other places I typically go to for sushi in downtown were busy during lunch rush and I am so glad I stopped by! This place is definitely hidden, look for the sign outside and take the stairs inside to the right, it is located on top of the Mexican restaurant there as well. At the middle of the flight of stairs there is a sign that says Sushi Kim 2. Inside, you'll be greeted by their kind staff and I love supporting our locally owned businesses! Very spacious inside and can definitely accompany large groups. Since I was meeting with a friend during our lunch break we needed our meal to be less than an hour. Menu was very large and full of Korean dishes that sounded great! I'll have to come back for the kimchi jjigae. My friend and I ordered our sushi rolls and food was out pretty quickly. The salmon in my salmon avocado roll was very fresh and the portion was a lot! I was pleasantly surprised. Some of the best quality fish I've had in the area. I also ordered 2 sides of their house made kimchi and it was delicious - a perfect side to my sushi. This place is very unassuming but I love finding these small but awesome places. If you're in the mood for sushi or Korean go check it out!! I was in and out during lunch and I'll be back again with more friends in the future.

This appears to be a nice mom and pop Korean place. Given the quality of the reviews, I was expecting really great tasting food. But the food was just okay. I would rate it about 3.5 stars The sushi boat was pretty good. Some of the pieces of sashimi were pretty good, but nothing to write home about. The beef bulgogi was decent but again not particularly great. The service was fine -- it's a mom and pop place and the ambiance is modest.

This place is amazing! I tried the japchae, doenjang jjigae, yook gae jang, kimchi jae yook, and jang-uh gui. All were spectacular! I've been looking for an authentic Korean restaurant in Pittsburgh and this is it. There were only 2 other tables sat when I got in and the service was very quick and the staff were very nice! More people need to try this restaurant because it's a very cute and cozy place to sit down and have some good food with family and friends. Will be returning soon!

Has some REALLY tasty sushi here plus some fab dumplings. The place is on the second floor. Very clean, nice interior. It was Friday eve and they were busy but not overrun so it was a peaceful dining experience as well. They brought me a lovely bowl of starter soup complimentary. I would definitely visit again. The prices were also great!

I was CRAVING korean food on Thanksgiving day and I'm so glad this place was open. The people working there, I assume the owners, were super friendly and nice. We spoke in Korean for a bit but also spoke in English about their passion for football, as we watched the football game on TV. We order the japchae and kimchi jigae, both delicious and affordable. The place is decorated simply and really feels like a cozy Korean restaurant. I will definitely be back here if I visit Pittsburgh again. Everything was so good and tasted very authentic.

Don't be fooled by the humble looking stair case before the entrance. Everything about this place was fantastic. The sushi had amazing taste and each bite was full of fish. The salmon and yellowtail quality was very high. I even think they make their own spiced soy sauce. I sat at the sushi bar to wait for my take out and wished I could sit and stay longer! The staff were so kind and friendly. Will definetely be back to try more items. Another customer had tempura and it smelled amazing. The vibe is very relaxed but also clean and polished.

LOVE this place so much. It's hands down some of the best sushi and Korean food in Pittsburgh, and the owners are incredibly sweet and adorable :') I randomly stumbled upon this place with some friends as we were waiting for our piercing appointment at Pittsburgh Tattoo & Piercing right next door, and we decided to have dinner here as we waited. It's on the second floor so might be hard to find at first. We didn't expect much because the place looked pretty small, but it exceeded my expectations so much that I've been back at least twice since then. I lived really far rom this restaurant so it was always a trek back every time I wanted to come back here, but it was so worth it for the food. It's a mom-and-pop style restaurant that serves both sushi and Korean food, and they do both really well (though I'm more biased towards the Korean food). It's hard to find good traditional Korean food in Pittsburgh. They serve all the classics, including manduguk (which is my all-time favorite dish to get here). The manduguk is seriously SO good. I'm not normally a huge fan of soup, but I literally got this every time I came here because it was that good. The flavor of the broth and the dumplings in it are just fantastic. It's a huge portion too. I also love their seafood pancakes, bulgogi, and soondubu. Their sushi is really fresh and they have a lot of set & a la carte options. The vibe inside is really peaceful and makes you feel like you're eating at a Korean grandmother's house. Cant recommend this place enough. It's such a hidden gem!

I highly recommend their stew dishes! It will make you feel very refreshing. Since it's in downtown, it's hard to find a parking spot, but there is a small parking garage a block away.The restaurant is very family friendly and the staffs are really helpful and kind.

I was expecting more and my expectations were too high.I've been craving Koren BBQ since we came back from Hawaii but haven't found anything close.I really wanted to try the beef. There was hardly enough meat or sauce for flavor. For $15 I was still hungry.The spicy tuna roll was very good. The quality was top notch and will order sushi from there again.The inside was setup nicely and servers were friendly.I will continue my search for comparable BBQ.

Sushi Kim was one of my favorite spots for sushi in the city and I was so devastated when they closed down because of Covid. I'm really glad that they reopened and that they have demonstrated the same quality and service in their new location. I always look forward to coming here
