You only remember the places that are extremely good or extremely bad. Thankfully for my taste buds, this place is amazing. Wide selection of sushi, rolls and hibachi. You could literally close your eyes and point at the menu and it wouldn't be a bad meal choice. I highly recommend it if you happen to be in the West Mifflin area.

While I didn't go to the hibachi side of the restaurant with all the party animals that sounded like they were having a blast, I still have a lot to say about the rest of the experience. This is not the place to go if you wanna impress someone. This seems to be the place to go to have some fun, get a little or very tipsy and watch the chefs do their thing with fire and alcohol spraying around. The neon beer signs in the windows and the old furniture is less than inspiring. You get sort of a grimey feeling being there. Next, service service, service. I think our waitress needs to have retraining sessions. She was fairly rude, and seemed to ignore us quite a bit. Perhaps it's because it was somewhat busy at first but even later when there was hardly anyone she was still very rude and seemed to ignore us. There were also a lot of serving faux pas like reaching across the whole table rather than moving to the other side which was open and many more things to be improved on. The mixed drinks were okay but not great. Little too much juice or too sweet but they were pretty. Get it for the Gram. I got the pain killer and my life still has a lot of pain in it so that's just false advertising. We got the veal and scallop hibachi meal. Gotta say, for $30 it's a pretty sad amount of meat. It's only 4 scallops and not much more veal. It was mostly veggies and rice and neither were that great. We had to get it redone the first time (why yes, we are fun at parties) because not only was the veal not even close to medium rare it was charred and very tough, tasted burnt. When we got it back however, I gotta say the new veal was quite good. It was an incredible improvement being well seasoned and tender. The samurai sushi special roll was indeed special. It had this creamy, almost buttery taste and texture. I couldn't get enough of it and I found it to be quite good. This review would have gotten 2 stars if it wasn't for the sushi. No joke, the sushi alone was enough to move this review from bad to adequate. Would go again only for the sushi.

This Japanese place in West Mifflin ain't bad. It's at a convenient place (next to the shopping center) so I can go shopping next door after dinner. There is never a wait time at this place for dine time. For Hibachi you would have to wait up till 20 mins for the table to fill up before a chef comes out to start cooking and doing tricks. We have always dined in since we don't want to wait long for food. There is a party room that holds up to 20 people if you want to reserve it for a party for Hibachi. Anyway, the sushi and hibachi dinner is pretty good and the staff are friendly.

I was here for my birthday November 24th and let me tell you the waitresses and chef went above and beyond to make our experience great! If you want to have the best experience I would reserve a table with harry he is so much fun and so funny! Either way all the chefs are pretty freaking awesome! Will definitely be back!

Food is awesome!! Plus our cook (if I can say) is really cool.. big shout out to Harry -harry potter/ harry styles (hahaha) that's what he said. Very talented guy..

The atmosphere was bomb and the music was great. Our cook was so cool and the other one behind us was also super bomb. The food was great and presentation was as well. Will definitely go when I’m up this way again!

I just went to watami steakhouse hibachi 2/1/22. Do not ever!!! Eat at Watami!!! They will serve you contaminated food! And give a 15% discount and cover your medical bills if you get sick. But what if you die? It isn’t ain't right! Food safety is paramount!!! There is no but... there is only get it right the first time!!! An "oops, we forgot to modify your food" is one thing. But "oops, we did something that could kill you" is absolutely intolerable!!! And just to be clear about what happened. He put chicken bacteria in ready to eat products and served the ready to eat product to my family and I. And when I said something to the manager, she said well that's how hibachi goes. Umm, no. Food safety trumps culture, cooking styles and any restaurants motto. They served contaminated food. Persons who perform the act of preparing food for human consumption in what some people believe is in an entertaining fashion(a cook, a chef) are using that long spatula/turner/flipper tool to handle both raw meats and ready to eat products. at Watami I observed and recorded persons using that tool to handle shrimp, chicken, beef, salmon, in that order. In a big square, everything touching. Then use that same tool to handle vegetables, rice, and noodles, then insert that tool into ready to eat products. Then flip the meats, go back into the ready to eat products. And served us those same ready to eat products with the same tool. My wife and brother both were sick afterwards. And as you can see from the pictures… where are the other utensils? The ones used to handle different types of food? He doesn’t have them and you can see the variety of meats which have to be handled separately. It wasn’t Chef Harry btw.

A great place to have a quality Asian meal in the heart of Pittsburgh. It is a place that is a little more expensive 25$ for the chicken and rice. Which is fine because it’s a great experience. No problems at all with this place!

If you want great food, GO! If you like to laugh, eat, drink good saki and have food to take home, you must try it! Our chef practiced safe food handling to a T, made us all laugh until we had tears, paid special attention to our 4y.o. granddaughter and the people celebrating birthdays, he juggled and made us all feel special! Did I forget to mention how good the food is and how big the portions are? Our new "Go-to" for a nice night out!

Food was great, everything tasted fresh and very flavorful! Chef was good it was late in the day so the energy was not as high. Hibachi room had visible storage and made it look messy affecting the overall atmosphere. Service was great, quick to refill drinks and check that everything was good.

The food was pretty good. The chef was very entertaining even though I did not catch any food in my mouth. Our waitress Julie was great!!!!

Great staff. We went to celebrate a birthday. The staff went over the top in customer service. Food was delicious and plentiful. I would recommend this restaurant looking for a good meal with a lot of options.

Awesome business. My Sun passed away a few years ago and they have been awesome enough to allow us to hold his yearly memorial birthday dinner there. They do a great job of accommodating our large family every year. I couldn’t be more thankful for them 🤎💜🤎💜

My recently bad experience at another hibachi place left alot on the table coming here, but instead of making us wait or cramming us with a full cook top, we accidentally got our own private show, which was awesome! Service was good, sushi was good, show was great and all the food came out perfect! Way better than other places. Not to mention I even got a couple orders to go from here a few weeks prior that was also on point. So even if you want hibachi at a south park pavilion to go this place is on! I do recommend. And we will be back! Thank you
