text: I would admit that this is probably the only Japanese restaurant in Pittsburgh that offers a more traditional nonAmericanized Japanese cuisine However for their price the quality is subpar at best nnI believe they are most known for their sushi oft used in japanese society meetings which i found them fine Their fried items tonkatsu tempura seemed too oily likely a result of reusing the same oil the rice too dry kiss of death for me for any japanese eatery and the miso shiru too salty For a price around It is unacceptablennIn Japan Chaya quality would be par with cafeteria food Would you seem justified in paying Unless you are dying for sushi I would recommend going to Kiku for a similar price range may be slightly more expensive
