I think overall the atmosphere was perfect and clean. Food was a bit expensive but I find worth the value (ingredient freshness, plate layout) I enjoyed all the dishes, beef hand roll and sashimi plate. I would say Gi-jin is the top Japanese restaurant and hand roll place I have found in Pittsburgh. The cocktails tasted refreshing and fruity! I would recommend this place to anyone if you don’t mind the price.

Had a wonderful night at Gi-Jin before seeing a show at Heinz Hall. Delicious sushi and cocktails. We especially enjoyed the chef's special nigiri. If you are looking for a great sushi date night, definitely check this place out.

Absolute best dining experience I’ve ever had. I didn’t know Pittsburgh offered this kind of quality, and it has ruined me for other sushi. The prices are high but so is the quality and unmatched service. Gi Jin is most certainly one not to miss!

One of the greatest overall culinary experiences that my date and I have had the privilege to enjoy! Reagan is a great “spirit” guide and presented the various selections of fresh fish, with great descriptions delivered as such, with a flourish that were spectacular which all together made for a wonderful evening! The service and presentation almost outdoes the food. Thank you so much. Felice’

I’ve had sushi all over the world. Go-Jiin concept sounded amazing however was a bit disappointed. We tried a variety of items and drinks. It just was missing something. Drinks a bit on the bland side. Not exciting no garnishes sake menu was quite good. Food was lacking. Flavors disappointing. And for the price I expected more.
