If she likes sushi and/or gin: Gi-Jin has the best sushi I've ever had in Pittsburgh and was an excellent experience.

There's also Meat & Potatoes, Gaucho, & Con Alma (though that is more drinks & music).

Tako, next door to Gi-Jin, is also a great choice, if you prefer tacos

Hard agree. They have the best carnitas of any place I've tried in Pittsburgh.

Nice food but last time we went it was pitch black. I like going in the warmer months where you can sit outside while you enjoy the guacamole.

Regarding gi-jin, have you ever been/how does it compare to the sushi at Kiku?

I've never been but I'm happy to add a new place to try to my list!

Yeah Kiku is pretty decent. I've never had gi-jin and my partner and I couldn't make the reservation we snagged. Gauging some feels to justify a reattempt.

I'd definitely say Gi-Jin goes beyond "pretty decent." We ate there in February and still reminisce about it regularly; our schedules just haven't given us a chance to go back since reservations are definitely required and weekends are impossible to get.

Seeing that Kiku does omakase makes me want to check it out!
