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.

The food was so absolutely delicious! They were most gracious when our 3rd guest was unable to attend. Our waiter, Patrick, was the best! He would make suggestions on the menu that were wonderful. A true professional! He made our evening there one of the best we’ve had in Pittsburgh! Cannot wait to return!

Overall a positive experience. The phone menu was definitely the biggest downfall to this place, as everything else is so elevated and it really took away from that. Would’ve loved a warm sake option but apparently they only have cold so that was a minor disappointment. Otherwise - the service was truly wonderful and very welcoming. Fish was buttery fresh and had great flavors and the house made soy sauce really is wonderful.
