Best Authentic Restaurants in East Liberty

We took my mom to Golden Gai for her birthday. She loved it and had a great time. We were happy to find the foods that we loved so much in Japan earlier this year. The shrimp tempura was our favorite. The shrimp were huge and we loved the sauce that went with them. So flavorful! We also really enjoyed the gyoza (dumplings), spicy tuna roll and udon noodles with chicken. While we were dining, we were talking about the dishes we had and asking questions about things that were slightly different. The sushi chef heard us and told us more about the food and why it was done the way they do it. It was very interesting and he seemed like a great guy. There were so many good dishes and drinks on the menu that we’ll definitely be back to try more things.

Excellent ambience and service on a post-holiday, low-key weeknight. Always think to have the duck when I visit French restaurants and the duck leg confit met my high expectations! Nice wine list and cocktails as well.

This place is a gem! The owner is so welcoming and Melissa our waitress made our whole experience so personal! It was Christmas Eve and a special night for us as a family to be all together and Senti showcased how good Pittsburgh food can be with their crowd pleasing appetizers and the duck which was to die for. Even though it was 9.30 on the night before Christmas we felt very non rushed through our meal and thank the staff for working so hard to make our night so memorable!

If you’ve never been to an omakase before and you are with someone who is new to raw fish, this is a good decent intro spot.
