Really good sushi. Weird lasers in the dining room and it kind of looks like a strip club from the outside but the food is awesome :)

This was my first time walking into a hibachi place, although my first impression was that they tried quite hard, perhaps a little too much. The inside was pretty nice with a few decorations, though most of it was kept dark for the hibachi atmosphere. We didn't plan on actually getting hibachi this time, so we sat at a regular table. However, another party did do the hibachi, and the performance was great. We originally intended on ordering from the lunch menu, but sadly they didn't have it on Sundays (menu doesn't say that). No matter, we went with a chicken teriyaki and a nabeyaki udon. The former was pretty standard, although the portion was quite large and the plate came out sizzling. In addition to the chicken, which was actually a bit dry for my taste, there was also some broccoli, a couple carrot slices, and grilled onion underneath. The udon came with tempura, egg, chicken, imitation crab, and a bunch of veggies--this was probably the better item of the two. Next time we'll probably try the hibachi. Their lunch prices are very reasonable, so that's something to aim for.

What a gem! I've been here quite a few times since they opened and always have a great time! The ambiance is a little strange--laser lights and early 2000's pop greet you as you cross a koi pond (with no koi) to get to your table. But that all just adds to the charm of this place. And the food is just fantastic. I've gotten hibachi a few times. The hibachi chefs are great! When I get steak, it's always cooked perfectly. They're also hilarious and really make sure everyone at your table is having a great time. They also shoot sake into your mouth! Beware the squeeze bottles! The ginger dressing here is out of this world. Hibachi dinners come with salad. If you don't get hibachi, I highly recommend you get a salad so you can enjoy this dressing. The sushi is also excellent! Presentation is always on point. I tend to stick to the Volcano Roll, but you can't go wrong with any of them. To add another note, a group of friends and I recently went to celebrate a friend's birthday. They really went out of their way to make her night so special. Every person working made it a point to stop by the table and wish her a happy birthday! They also gave her a free dish of ice cream with a very sweet message written on the dish. It was a spectacular evening out and the staff really went above and beyond.

Best sushi delivery I have found so far! The price is very reasonable for the amount of food that you receive with your entree. Will definitely order from here again!

Went for my girlfriends birthday. Had her sister and 4 year old son with us. Did the hibachi and some sushi. All of it was great. The chef put on a fun show that the little one loved. The food was great and they did a fun birthday dinner song with small free dessert. I plan on going back very soon.

Traveling from NewYork to Pittsburgh. Had a birthday party in here. The owner made us the special lobster rolls wrapped with sweet potato which they dont sell that on the menu. The owner gave us cakes , candles, and appitizers for FREE because they said that i am the first one who celebrates the birthday in here. They have party rooms for some small parties. We ordered lots of special rolls and sushi which comes with 20%off. The food was fantastic. The outside of the building looks plain but the interior looks amazing. Love this place

Feng is a wonderful bazaar experience. Don't let the outside appearance keep you away, the inside is a different place. They have a large bar/suishi bar area which you immediately see when you enter. Then you go around the corner and see a waterfall complete with coy pond. You cross a bridge to the hibachi and dining area. Everything is tacky, but delightful. They also had small rooms which you can rent for small parties. We got hibachi which was cheap for the enormous amount of food that they gave me. They thew in complementary sushi too. Service was outstanding. I was very surprised by the beautiful presentation and the good quality of the food. Seriously this is a fantastic hidden gem. I am not giving this 5 stars because it is the best restaurant in the city, so don't expect that. I am giving it 5 stars because I genuinely enjoyed my entire experience at this place. Come open minded and I'm sure you will too.

Visiting from Los Angeles and wanted to find a great place to eat with the family. This place is amazing!! The interior decorating is so pretty...the little details in lighting and everything is clutch. Not only restaurant visuals, but food presentation is outstanding! We ordered the a bunch of appetizers including the Korean calamari, shrimp tempura, fried oysters, fried fish tofu, the Spider-Man roll, and we all ordered different hibachi combos that included steak, scallops, shrimp, and salmon. The hibachi entrees came with fried rice AND noodles AND veges. SO good. The chef put on a good show, did some little magic tricks that blew our minds and I also got the joy of having sake squirted into my mouth ha! I thought it was water...but no, real sake. I won! Anyway, great place with awesome food and service. Definitely go here!!!

This is easily my favorite date night. I love the laser lights and 90's hits. My last time there it was a Britney Spears music marathon. They do usually mix up the song selections. This is easily the best sushi in Pittsburgh. It is fresh and beautiful. They have the BEST RICE! I love the dinner bento box. It's more than enough food! They also usually have evening specials!

I was nervous to try this new restaurant out but I'm real glad I did! The service was on point and the food had me all nom nom nom. The sake and the alcoholic beverages did not disappoint. I had shrimp sushi which was the best one I had yet. The hibachi dinner was delicious! I will be going again with my significant other to blow his mind!

Really really really good. Really good. Lunch with wife. Really really really good. Salmon and steak w/fried rice combo for me. Salmon and chicken and noodle hibachi combo for wife. Really really really good. This is in Bloomfield, by the way. ANother one of those "gee, I have always wanted to eat here, ok, lets do it, oh my gosh, why haven't I ever eaten here before?". This was that kind of place. I was happy with the milieu, the food, the whole darned shebang. Really seriously, I can see why people put it off. But, here it is, they have their own parking lot. And even though the Thai Restaurant is right up the street, GO HERE! Then, go to the Thai place. Then go to the Italian market up from the Thai place, and get more food. Then go to Shadyside and get a drink, then go to Squirrel Hill and go to Squirrel Hill Cafe, get a dollar PBR and fish sangwich, and then go to Oakland, find a place to park (HA!) and get some Popeye's to go. Then go to the Beer store, get some beer. Then go home, but stop at Salonika's on the way home, and get an array of food. Then eat everything. Then fall asleep in a drooling sleepy mess. Good times!

The interior looks amazing! We ordered tom yum soup, calamari, and beef wrapped asparagus for appetizers. They were all great. I forgot to take a picture of the calamari before I sucked it down. I got chicken teriyaki and he got quail egg and naruto sushi. Amazing! I think they just opened. Its clear that they weren't going for cheap in the design. The plates are stylish, the chopsticks are high quality (relatively compaired to the usual wood) the seats are comfy. This place is a gem. Come check it out.

You should definitely go here on Tues or Wed for half price sushi. What a deal! I'll admit, I was sceptical. I mean, this building has been several different restaurants and none have seemed interesting to me. Maybe if they put in windows.....I dunno, just something looks sketchy. But, it was totally good and we ate sushi to our heart's content for a VERY reasonable price. I mean, nothing Giro would put out, but yummy, creative sushi that left us saying, "yeah, I'd go back."

Samuel K.
It's a bit tacky inside (especially the laser lights in the one section), but the sushi was awesome. It's a comparable price point to most other sushi places in the area, but the quality was a lot better. This was one of the first times I ate sushi and actually noticed how well the rice was done/prepared. The sushi chef was great at presentation as well. He literally carved an owl out of a carrot and had it on the plate with the sushi. I'm really glad a place like this is in the neighborhood now. Gonna go back sometime soon and check out the hibachi!

Went with my husband for dinner around 8pm on a Saturday evening, on a livingsocial deal I recently purchased. This was our first time at a hibachi place. Upon entering, we were asked whether we wanted to be seated at a regular table or a hibachi table. We were told that at the hibachi table, we could order only hibachi, but at the regular table, you could order sushi as well as hibachi ( or, I suppose, anything off the menu). Since I came in with the intention of ordering sushi, we asked to be seated at a regular table. A few minutes after we were seated, however, I decided that I would do hibachi as well, and the waitress promptly moved us to a hibachi table. 2 other couples were already seated there besides us. I ordered the shrimp and salmon hibachi, and my husband got the chicken and shrimp. Each entree came with a small salad (with some awesome dressing!) and a cup of clear (mushroom?) soup (again, very good). Once everyone at the table was done with their soups and salads, out came the hibachi chef. Very entertaining fellow, we had little broccoli florets popped into our mouths from a distance,and saki squirted into our mouths. At one point, he shut off the lights at our table, and performed some setting-things-on-fire show! Each hibachi dinner includes grilled veggies, noodles, fried rice, and of course, your choice of meat. There were also two little bowls of sauce for everyone ( one was a ginger flavor, the other peanut I think). Everything was delicious, and the portions were big. I got around 8-10 jumbo sized shrimp and a nice chunk of salmon sprinkled with sesame seeds. Both of us couldn't finish all of our dinner, and we had them packed. We also ordered the banana tempura along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream . Beautifully presented, and the ice cream was particularly rich and tasty, not your usual blah vanilla. The severs were attentive, and very friendly. Overall, I would definitely come back. Great food, great portions, great service, and thoroughly entertaining, what's not to love!

The food was very good. We got hibachi but sat at a table. Our waitress was nice and attentive. The fried rice was tasty and had nice big egg pieces in it. The only problems I had with it were I thought that the extra sauce was over priced, and you could tell that the shrimp was frozen and not fresh. But I can't complain- portions were great and it was very good. I'll definitely go back. This would be good for a date night where you want to have some laughs and good food.

I had high hopes. I got delivery and specified no shellfish and a different soup. I know they read this because I got the different soup that I asked for. HOWEVER, my sashimi appetizer came with a giant shrimp on top and my chicken hibachi came with shrimp as well. Wha?!? This was through Wheel Deliver and they fully reimbursed me. This is dangerously irresponsible and I'm, luckily, not allergic.

This place is simply great! Their hibachi chefs are really entertaining. they put on such a good performance. The miso soup is really good and so is the volcano roll!

Mary G.
I'm not sure how this place has such a high rating. The interior looks old and outdated, which is strange, considering that they have a giant sign outside saying that they opened just two months ago. I love sushi, cheap or fancy, but I actually couldn't finish the Phoenix roll here - not good at all, to the point that I hope what I did eat doesn't catch up with me later tonight. If you're looking for sushi, Ginza, across the street, is MUCH better. The hibachi, which is I guess why people come here, was also below average - you could taste the cheap oil it was cooked in.

Went there for sushi. The fish was dry with a bit of an iffy taste. The decoration of the place was very old fashioned, kitchy and distracting, with laser lights all over the place. I would neither go again or recommend this place to anyone.

The hibachi was above average but a word of advice to the owners. Your restaurant is in Bloomfield not Oakland so a grand opening special that only applies to students is going to alienate more potential customers than it's going to draw in.

It was very good! We were treated well and the food tasted fresh and delicious. We went on a living social coupon and got a great deal. Go for the shrimp or steak. Cooked perfectly! Noodles! White sauce! It wasn't busy so we didn't have to wait-l really enjoyed it. Good job!

Food was amazing and service was great. Hibachi steak and shrimp was above average and the portions are huge. Specialty sushi rolls are presented very well and taste even better. This will definitely be my new go to place for sushi!

I've been here a few times for lunch and always had a nice meal, but I brought my family here on Sunday and was amazed. The restaurant was quite busy for a Sunday night and we all had a great time. Although they were short staffed, the manager was making sure all the customers were happy and enjoying their meals. The hibachi chef was funny and cooked a great meal. My steak was cooked perfectly and my shrimp tasted delicious. I think the prices were very reasonable compared to other hibachi/sushi restaurants in the area. I will definitely bring my family back here in the future.

The sushi is above and beyond what you would expect from the price and atmosphere. Well worth a visit from any part of Pittsburgh.

I never write reviews on Yelp, but figured I needed to for Feng. I was pulling for them when it first opened, so when I saw the reviews I was excited to try it. After purchasing a Groupon for them I decided to head down for dinner. We rolled in around 6pm to notice it was a ghost town. We ordered an app, some rolls, and a dinner bento. The dumpling app was good but no better than you could make at home with frozen dumplings. The spicy salmon and Mt. Washington rolls were less than bland, and had some odd textures. The beef negimaki tasted fine, but there was just thr thinnest strip of chewy beef wrapped around a thick bushel of scallions. Again, it did not have the correct texture one would hope for. The salad and miso soup that came with the bento were sub par, and I did find a gnat floating in the soup. My assumption is that they haven't been as busy as they would have liked to be, so their "fresh" ingredients have sat for too long. Perhaps I ordered the wrong items and should have stuck to the hibachi. Even with the Groupon I felt it was overpriced for what you received. I'd rather go to Little Tokyo or Nakama where I know the quality of the food. If I'm going for cheap Asian food I'd rather just go to Szechaun's in Oakland, at least it is going to have some flavor. I'd say take all if the reviews for Feng with a grain of salt - including mine. Perhaps if they get busier the quality will be better. Maybe I went in on the wrong day, or like I said got the wrong items. This one experience was enough for me though, and I will not likely go back.

Just ate at Feng for the first time tonight. Having been to other hibachi restaurants including Ichiban and Saga multiple times, I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed Feng's atmosphere, the food, and the wonderful service. All around it was such a great experience. The hibachi chef was so funny and made us laugh the whole time, and even the servers and other staff were very kind and friendly to us. In my opinion, service is the most important part of a dining experience and they absolutely nailed it. You'll have a blast there. Plus, the food was delicious! So filling. I'll be sure to come back and try the sushi next time :) I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Super slow Waitress missed half of our orders The waitress did not bring some of our sushi rolls but insisted she did. In the end we were overcharged The menu says 50% off but the original price was just outrageously expensive, making the the discount a mere marketing scheme.

I revisited Feng two weeks ago and a cockroach scuttled across the table just as the Hibachi chef finished cooking. The chef stared quietly as we killed the roach, confirmed what it was, and left it on the floor. I don't really care all that much, I guess, I've probably eaten from much worse kitchens. But I won't be back. I'm really disappointed because I loved this place.

Nicole B.
I'm sad to reduce my stars this time around. The prices seem to be creeping up, despite the constant advertisements for discounted rates. The sushi quality is also sadly declining. The last time I visited, the salmon in the sushi was cut improperly, so all I got was sinew. Really disappointing. The miso soup was still your basic miso soup, and the kimchi was pretty tasty. I'm glad to be able to get kimchi in Pittsburgh, but I'm not convinced that I'll be going here quite as frequently as I'd originally anticipated. Still not bad, but not my favorite.

I finally come to redeem my living social voucher. We had regular sushi (7 pieces of sushi + tuna roll), sakura roll and steak & shrimp hibachi. The sushi was okay. I left most of the rice since it wasn't that good. I like the sakura roll. The steak & shrimp had a strong taste of some kind of rice wine. Overall, I wasn't impressed by any food. Btw, they have live music on Thursday night.

Have you ever been to a restaurant where the service is unacceptably and almost comically slow? I think we've all been there at one point or another. It's been awhile since this last happened to me, so I guess my karmic number came up tonight when I suggested to CM that we visit Feng. My suggestion to pay Feng a visit came from having spotted a huge banner on the restaurant advertising 50% off sushi on Tues./Wed. upon cycling past this weekend. What a great deal! I thought. Well, I guess the rest of Bloomfield and the East End thought similarly, since all of the regular (non-hibachi) tables were packed full tonight. Indeed, I should have taken a hint when our waitress gave us free kimchi shortly after seating us, saying that we'd be there awhile since we were ordering sushi. For half off sushi night, Feng provides a special menu listing the choices and the final prices from which you select your sushi. Upon perusing that menu, CM and I decided to order the spicy salmon and tuna rolls. Despite our waitress having confirmed our order correctly, we were brought salmon and spicy tuna rolls ($5 and $6, respectively). The rolls were not bad, but not really very special, either--both of them were rather bland and flavorless. Additionally, CM and I decided to order the midsummer night's roll ($13.25), which was filled with sweet potato and spicy salmon, topped with seaweed salad, and drizzled with eel sauce. These rolls, by contrast, were aesthetically pleasing and much more flavorful, esp. with the eel sauce. My only criticism was that the first one was rather mushy (presumably due to having a greater amount of sweet potato filling); otherwise, we were quite pleased with them. As I mentioned above, my primary issue was that the service was extremely slow. When we were seated, it took close to 10 min. to even get water, and at least another 10 to have our order taken. As for the sushi, we waited 45 min. for each round. Ideally, we would have placed all of our orders in one sitting, but we realized after ordering the salmon and tuna rolls that we wanted another type of roll, so we ended up waiting another 45 min. for the second round. Even though we asked for the check as soon as the second round was brought to our table, it took two waitresses and 15 min. to get the check, and another 5 to run the card (at least that part went somewhat quickly)! By the time we left, it was more than two hours after we'd arrived, which is unacceptable for the amount of sushi we ordered. In light of the crowd and the waitress's initial comment, I'm guessing that the half off sushi promo has been more successful then Feng anticipated, and the kitchen and waitstaff are struggling to keep up with demand. Based on what I observed at other tables, our experience was representative, since nobody else received service that was any more efficient than ours--except for the hibachi customers, perhaps. If they're going to continue offering this promo, the owners and employees need to step up their game significantly if they want to attract regular customers. As it were, the exorbitant wait and ridiculously poor service merit an even two stars from me.

Is Feng the best Japanese food in Pittsburgh? Well, no. But it's not bad, and they deliver. We first visited last October, for a friend's birthday. Our large party took a while to arrive but once seated, service was prompt and friendly. My toddler really enjoyed the huge flames of the hibachi; the other little one at the table was decidedly not a fan. We had eaten at Ichiban at the Waterworks the week before, and both my husband and I preferred the hibachi at Feng. The shrimp was great at Feng - much sweeter and less frozen-and-thawed than Ichiban's. The steak and chicken were good; the salmon was overdone, but hibachi salmon always is. Feng's ginger and seafood sauces are both delicious, and the miso salad dressing is one of the best renditions I've tried. The iceberg lettuce and carrot curls? Well, those are par for the course. The decor is mildly hilarious - the laser light show is hypnotizing after a huge meal. The servers and staff were amazing with the kids - they helped keep them entertained while they waited for we adults to finish eating. The laser lights, "dance floor," side rooms, and bridge with swimming fish gave them plenty to explore. Last week, I discovered they offer delivery, and how could I resist? We shared a hibachi shrimp lunch (at $9.95, a bit overpriced for seven shrimp, a huuuuge portion of fried rice, a small side of hibachi veg, and soup) as well as salmon teriyaki. The shrimp, again, were pleasing for Pittsburgh shrimp. The salmon was again dry, but the teriyaki flavor was excellent and I loved the inclusion of grilled onions. The shumai are passable; I wouldn't go out of my way to order them again. However, the simple steamed rice was fantastic. Not sticky, not hard, each grain separate = perfect. I haven't eaten their sushi; a California roll was included with our lunch delivery but I was way too full to even think about it. Maybe someday. It's sort of the Japanese restaurant equivalent of the Cheesecake Factory, with a huge and varied menu and debatable "authenticity" (whatever that's worth), and most items of middling to good quality. Nothing achieves gourmet greatness, but it's not really meant to.

I love Feng. Sure, sometimes the service is a little slow or a bit awkward but they're really nice and honestly, I think the best value on sushi in the city. It's always good and not nearly as expensive as many of the other places. I'm not big into hibachi, but it was fun when we did it. Plus, they always have crazy deals which actually bums me out because I really don't want them to go under.

The food was very good! We both got the Chicken and Steak Lunch Hibachi combo. Both the chicken and steak we're very well seasoned and cooked to order. There was plenty of food on the plate and so now I have a stomach ache, but in a good way. Prices are affordable, especially at lunch. The decor is welcoming and my wife says it's "super cute." I felt like I was in Japan due to the Japanese style pagoda decor and the authentic 90's pop music (ie. Brittany Spears, Justin Timberlake, etc). Since Japanese people love American pop so much. Ha. Definitely recommend this place. It wasn't very busy so the Pittsburgh crowd needs to get in here!

I got chicken teriyaki and he got quail egg and naruto sushi. Amazing! I think they just opened. Its clear that they weren't going for cheap in the design. The plates are stylish, the chopsticks are high quality (relatively compaired to the usual wood) the seats are comfy. This place is a gem. Come check it out.

This is great place. We had our order delivered. The rolls and sushi were as good or better then we hve had in a long time. I reccomend Feng's to anyone who enjoys japanese food.

You should definitely go here on Tues or Wed for half price sushi. What a deal! I'll admit, I was sceptical. I mean, this building has been several different restaurants and none have seemed interesting to me. Maybe if they put in windows.....I dunno, just something looks sketchy. But, it was totally good and we ate sushi to our heart's content for a VERY reasonable price. I mean, nothing Giro would put out, but yummy, creative sushi that left us saying, "yeah, I'd go back."

It's a bit tacky inside (especially the laser lights in the one section), but the sushi was awesome. It's a comparable price point to most other sushi places in the area, but the quality was a lot better. This was one of the first times I ate sushi and actually noticed how well the rice was done/prepared. The sushi chef was great at presentation as well. He literally carved an owl out of a carrot and had it on the plate with the sushi. I'm really glad a place like this is in the neighborhood now. Gonna go back sometime soon and check out the hibachi!

Went with my husband for dinner around 8pm on a Saturday evening, on a livingsocial deal I recently purchased. This was our first time at a hibachi place. Upon entering, we were asked whether we wanted to be seated at a regular table or a hibachi table. We were told that at the hibachi table, we could order only hibachi, but at the regular table, you could order sushi as well as hibachi ( or, I suppose, anything off the menu). Since I came in with the intention of ordering sushi, we asked to be seated at a regular table. A few minutes after we were seated, however, I decided that I would do hibachi as well, and the waitress promptly moved us to a hibachi table. 2 other couples were already seated there besides us. I ordered the shrimp and salmon hibachi, and my husband got the chicken and shrimp. Each entree came with a small salad (with some awesome dressing!) and a cup of clear (mushroom?) soup (again, very good). Once everyone at the table was done with their soups and salads, out came the hibachi chef. Very entertaining fellow, we had little broccoli florets popped into our mouths from a distance,and saki squirted into our mouths. At one point, he shut off the lights at our table, and performed some setting-things-on-fire show! Each hibachi dinner includes grilled veggies, noodles, fried rice, and of course, your choice of meat. There were also two little bowls of sauce for everyone ( one was a ginger flavor, the other peanut I think). Everything was delicious, and the portions were big. I got around 8-10 jumbo sized shrimp and a nice chunk of salmon sprinkled with sesame seeds. Both of us couldn't finish all of our dinner, and we had them packed. We also ordered the banana tempura along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream . Beautifully presented, and the ice cream was particularly rich and tasty, not your usual blah vanilla. The severs were attentive, and very friendly. Overall, I would definitely come back. Great food, great portions, great service, and thoroughly entertaining, what's not to love!

The food was very good. We got hibachi but sat at a table. Our waitress was nice and attentive. The fried rice was tasty and had nice big egg pieces in it. The only problems I had with it were I thought that the extra sauce was over priced, and you could tell that the shrimp was frozen and not fresh. But I can't complain- portions were great and it was very good. I'll definitely go back. This would be good for a date night where you want to have some laughs and good food.

I had high hopes. I got delivery and specified no shellfish and a different soup. I know they read this because I got the different soup that I asked for. HOWEVER, my sashimi appetizer came with a giant shrimp on top and my chicken hibachi came with shrimp as well. Wha?!? This was through Wheel Deliver and they fully reimbursed me. This is dangerously irresponsible and I'm, luckily, not allergic.
(1)James B.
This place is simply great! Their hibachi chefs are really entertaining. they put on such a good performance. The miso soup is really good and so is the volcano roll!
(5)Mary G.
I'm not sure how this place has such a high rating. The interior looks old and outdated, which is strange, considering that they have a giant sign outside saying that they opened just two months ago. I love sushi, cheap or fancy, but I actually couldn't finish the Phoenix roll here - not good at all, to the point that I hope what I did eat doesn't catch up with me later tonight. If you're looking for sushi, Ginza, across the street, is MUCH better. The hibachi, which is I guess why people come here, was also below average - you could taste the cheap oil it was cooked in.

Went there for sushi. The fish was dry with a bit of an iffy taste. The decoration of the place was very old fashioned, kitchy and distracting, with laser lights all over the place. I would neither go again or recommend this place to anyone.
(1)Aaron W.
The hibachi was above average but a word of advice to the owners. Your restaurant is in Bloomfield not Oakland so a grand opening special that only applies to students is going to alienate more potential customers than it's going to draw in.
(2)Barbara C.
It was very good! We were treated well and the food tasted fresh and delicious. We went on a living social coupon and got a great deal. Go for the shrimp or steak. Cooked perfectly! Noodles! White sauce! It wasn't busy so we didn't have to wait-l really enjoyed it. Good job!
(4)Sara H.
Food was amazing and service was great. Hibachi steak and shrimp was above average and the portions are huge. Specialty sushi rolls are presented very well and taste even better. This will definitely be my new go to place for sushi!

I've been here a few times for lunch and always had a nice meal, but I brought my family here on Sunday and was amazed. The restaurant was quite busy for a Sunday night and we all had a great time. Although they were short staffed, the manager was making sure all the customers were happy and enjoying their meals. The hibachi chef was funny and cooked a great meal. My steak was cooked perfectly and my shrimp tasted delicious. I think the prices were very reasonable compared to other hibachi/sushi restaurants in the area. I will definitely bring my family back here in the future.

The sushi is above and beyond what you would expect from the price and atmosphere. Well worth a visit from any part of Pittsburgh.

I never write reviews on Yelp, but figured I needed to for Feng. I was pulling for them when it first opened, so when I saw the reviews I was excited to try it. After purchasing a Groupon for them I decided to head down for dinner. We rolled in around 6pm to notice it was a ghost town. We ordered an app, some rolls, and a dinner bento. The dumpling app was good but no better than you could make at home with frozen dumplings. The spicy salmon and Mt. Washington rolls were less than bland, and had some odd textures. The beef negimaki tasted fine, but there was just thr thinnest strip of chewy beef wrapped around a thick bushel of scallions. Again, it did not have the correct texture one would hope for. The salad and miso soup that came with the bento were sub par, and I did find a gnat floating in the soup. My assumption is that they haven't been as busy as they would have liked to be, so their "fresh" ingredients have sat for too long. Perhaps I ordered the wrong items and should have stuck to the hibachi. Even with the Groupon I felt it was overpriced for what you received. I'd rather go to Little Tokyo or Nakama where I know the quality of the food. If I'm going for cheap Asian food I'd rather just go to Szechaun's in Oakland, at least it is going to have some flavor. I'd say take all if the reviews for Feng with a grain of salt - including mine. Perhaps if they get busier the quality will be better. Maybe I went in on the wrong day, or like I said got the wrong items. This one experience was enough for me though, and I will not likely go back.

Just ate at Feng for the first time tonight. Having been to other hibachi restaurants including Ichiban and Saga multiple times, I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed Feng's atmosphere, the food, and the wonderful service. All around it was such a great experience. The hibachi chef was so funny and made us laugh the whole time, and even the servers and other staff were very kind and friendly to us. In my opinion, service is the most important part of a dining experience and they absolutely nailed it. You'll have a blast there. Plus, the food was delicious! So filling. I'll be sure to come back and try the sushi next time :) I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Super slow Waitress missed half of our orders The waitress did not bring some of our sushi rolls but insisted she did. In the end we were overcharged The menu says 50% off but the original price was just outrageously expensive, making the the discount a mere marketing scheme.
(1)Joseph F.
I revisited Feng two weeks ago and a cockroach scuttled across the table just as the Hibachi chef finished cooking. The chef stared quietly as we killed the roach, confirmed what it was, and left it on the floor. I don't really care all that much, I guess, I've probably eaten from much worse kitchens. But I won't be back. I'm really disappointed because I loved this place.
(1)Nicole B.
I'm sad to reduce my stars this time around. The prices seem to be creeping up, despite the constant advertisements for discounted rates. The sushi quality is also sadly declining. The last time I visited, the salmon in the sushi was cut improperly, so all I got was sinew. Really disappointing. The miso soup was still your basic miso soup, and the kimchi was pretty tasty. I'm glad to be able to get kimchi in Pittsburgh, but I'm not convinced that I'll be going here quite as frequently as I'd originally anticipated. Still not bad, but not my favorite.

I finally come to redeem my living social voucher. We had regular sushi (7 pieces of sushi + tuna roll), sakura roll and steak & shrimp hibachi. The sushi was okay. I left most of the rice since it wasn't that good. I like the sakura roll. The steak & shrimp had a strong taste of some kind of rice wine. Overall, I wasn't impressed by any food. Btw, they have live music on Thursday night.

Have you ever been to a restaurant where the service is unacceptably and almost comically slow? I think we've all been there at one point or another. It's been awhile since this last happened to me, so I guess my karmic number came up tonight when I suggested to CM that we visit Feng. My suggestion to pay Feng a visit came from having spotted a huge banner on the restaurant advertising 50% off sushi on Tues./Wed. upon cycling past this weekend. What a great deal! I thought. Well, I guess the rest of Bloomfield and the East End thought similarly, since all of the regular (non-hibachi) tables were packed full tonight. Indeed, I should have taken a hint when our waitress gave us free kimchi shortly after seating us, saying that we'd be there awhile since we were ordering sushi. For half off sushi night, Feng provides a special menu listing the choices and the final prices from which you select your sushi. Upon perusing that menu, CM and I decided to order the spicy salmon and tuna rolls. Despite our waitress having confirmed our order correctly, we were brought salmon and spicy tuna rolls ($5 and $6, respectively). The rolls were not bad, but not really very special, either--both of them were rather bland and flavorless. Additionally, CM and I decided to order the midsummer night's roll ($13.25), which was filled with sweet potato and spicy salmon, topped with seaweed salad, and drizzled with eel sauce. These rolls, by contrast, were aesthetically pleasing and much more flavorful, esp. with the eel sauce. My only criticism was that the first one was rather mushy (presumably due to having a greater amount of sweet potato filling); otherwise, we were quite pleased with them. As I mentioned above, my primary issue was that the service was extremely slow. When we were seated, it took close to 10 min. to even get water, and at least another 10 to have our order taken. As for the sushi, we waited 45 min. for each round. Ideally, we would have placed all of our orders in one sitting, but we realized after ordering the salmon and tuna rolls that we wanted another type of roll, so we ended up waiting another 45 min. for the second round. Even though we asked for the check as soon as the second round was brought to our table, it took two waitresses and 15 min. to get the check, and another 5 to run the card (at least that part went somewhat quickly)! By the time we left, it was more than two hours after we'd arrived, which is unacceptable for the amount of sushi we ordered. In light of the crowd and the waitress's initial comment, I'm guessing that the half off sushi promo has been more successful then Feng anticipated, and the kitchen and waitstaff are struggling to keep up with demand. Based on what I observed at other tables, our experience was representative, since nobody else received service that was any more efficient than ours--except for the hibachi customers, perhaps. If they're going to continue offering this promo, the owners and employees need to step up their game significantly if they want to attract regular customers. As it were, the exorbitant wait and ridiculously poor service merit an even two stars from me.

Is Feng the best Japanese food in Pittsburgh? Well, no. But it's not bad, and they deliver. We first visited last October, for a friend's birthday. Our large party took a while to arrive but once seated, service was prompt and friendly. My toddler really enjoyed the huge flames of the hibachi; the other little one at the table was decidedly not a fan. We had eaten at Ichiban at the Waterworks the week before, and both my husband and I preferred the hibachi at Feng. The shrimp was great at Feng - much sweeter and less frozen-and-thawed than Ichiban's. The steak and chicken were good; the salmon was overdone, but hibachi salmon always is. Feng's ginger and seafood sauces are both delicious, and the miso salad dressing is one of the best renditions I've tried. The iceberg lettuce and carrot curls? Well, those are par for the course. The decor is mildly hilarious - the laser light show is hypnotizing after a huge meal. The servers and staff were amazing with the kids - they helped keep them entertained while they waited for we adults to finish eating. The laser lights, "dance floor," side rooms, and bridge with swimming fish gave them plenty to explore. Last week, I discovered they offer delivery, and how could I resist? We shared a hibachi shrimp lunch (at $9.95, a bit overpriced for seven shrimp, a huuuuge portion of fried rice, a small side of hibachi veg, and soup) as well as salmon teriyaki. The shrimp, again, were pleasing for Pittsburgh shrimp. The salmon was again dry, but the teriyaki flavor was excellent and I loved the inclusion of grilled onions. The shumai are passable; I wouldn't go out of my way to order them again. However, the simple steamed rice was fantastic. Not sticky, not hard, each grain separate = perfect. I haven't eaten their sushi; a California roll was included with our lunch delivery but I was way too full to even think about it. Maybe someday. It's sort of the Japanese restaurant equivalent of the Cheesecake Factory, with a huge and varied menu and debatable "authenticity" (whatever that's worth), and most items of middling to good quality. Nothing achieves gourmet greatness, but it's not really meant to.

I love Feng. Sure, sometimes the service is a little slow or a bit awkward but they're really nice and honestly, I think the best value on sushi in the city. It's always good and not nearly as expensive as many of the other places. I'm not big into hibachi, but it was fun when we did it. Plus, they always have crazy deals which actually bums me out because I really don't want them to go under.
(4)Jared L.
The food was very good! We both got the Chicken and Steak Lunch Hibachi combo. Both the chicken and steak we're very well seasoned and cooked to order. There was plenty of food on the plate and so now I have a stomach ache, but in a good way. Prices are affordable, especially at lunch. The decor is welcoming and my wife says it's "super cute." I felt like I was in Japan due to the Japanese style pagoda decor and the authentic 90's pop music (ie. Brittany Spears, Justin Timberlake, etc). Since Japanese people love American pop so much. Ha. Definitely recommend this place. It wasn't very busy so the Pittsburgh crowd needs to get in here!
