Kiku was so effing good I took one bite and then accidentally punched my friend in the shoulder w my excitement while saying, "This is so effing good!" Why do I ALWAYS forget about Kiku? You must understand, I love sushi and it's not because I love drinking a whole bunch of sake before I eat the sushi, during, and after. I go for the sashimi bc I'm not effing around w the rice. If I'm dining w friends who say they like sushi but won't stray beyond a tuna roll, then I'll just eat regular nigiri w the rice but...bring me raw fish, on a wooden boat, and I'm a happy girl brandishing chopsticks. I am SO very tired of people talking about Umi. Umi is spectacular and I love it, but there is other sushi to be had. I've DONE Chaya and Sushi Too and Sushi Kim and Ginza (RIP) and Kotobuki and Ooshi Bento... But I always forget about Kiku, and I think it's because its tucked away in station square. Newly rediscovered, I recommend you dine here. Its beautiful inside. They have one of the most sushi restaurant expansive menus in Pittsburgh. Will sushi make your friend gag? Bring them here anyway, there is so much to choose from, sushi or otherwise. The pricing is reasonable. The place does not smell like fish. You'll leave full, and happy, and you wont feel like your wallet has just been raped. There is a reason that Kiku has been around for so long, and that it has been nothing but consistent. Good service, great food, & good atmosphere. If you haven't been to Kiku in awhile, pay them a visit. Now I'm craving sushi and I just had some....

Recently visited Fremont street for the first time while on a family vacation. Brought Gramma, toddler, baby, hubby, and Aunt along for the trip! It was a blast! We stayed for 3 of the hourly light shows and wandered the entire length of freemont street taking lots of touristy pictures! Got pictures with some of the Fremont Characters that dress up and bought a few gadgets along the way. Saw street performers, showgirls, and live music - a great evening! Even stopped at one of the Casinos by the very end that served up deep fried donuts, twinkies, and a bunch of other odd creations . At around $1-$2 we had to try them! There is even a Krispy Kreme along the walk if you're looking for that sort of thing. Lots of cheap food and free entertainment (tips are of course always welcomed). There was a really cool zipline (reasonably priced from $10-$25) depending on the time of day you could go on to get an aerial view of Fremont street! A definite place to to stop by! We went from 6pm-9pm - a great time if bringing family. It was dark so the lights were excellent but before the all the rowdiness began. I've uploaded a few pics of the foods and light shows, too!

Okay drinks. Bad service. They gave me drinks 25 minutes later and even gave someone (who ordered after me) their drinks before me. What the hell!? Just go to Bomboba for great service and great drinks :)! I love them there!

I can see why I read so many good things about this place. If you're on the strip and on a budget, this place is where to go for lunch. $5.99 for sandwiches, salads, and wraps. You could probably even add a bag of chips, a cookie, or a side and still pay under $10 for your whole meal. Very hard to find that kind of deal for quality food on Las Vegas Blvd. It's open 24 hours, too! I ordered two sandwiches, the Caribbean Jerk Chicken and the Full Montagu, and ate half of each. I was really hoping the sandwiches would very delicious. But it was just OK in my book. Nothing wrong with them, mind you. I just was thinking I'd be wowed with flavor. That's probably the only reason I couldn't give 5 stars here, even though I wanted to. The service was fast, they kept the line moving swiftly, there was decent amount of seating available, and clean. I thought it was kind of cool that a casual sandwich place used vibrating beepers to let you know your order was ready to be picked up! I wouldn't say it's a convenient place to eat for a local, but I'd definitely think it's an awesome place to dine if you're in the area nearby. Great value for your money and more than worth getting, compared to the same you'll spend for unhealthy fast food. It was a great stop for lunch. Or anytime for that matter! Try it :)
