Really neat selection of rolls. Place had a nice vibe with hip selection of music. Indoor outdoor seating with pleasant Atmosphere. Rolls were tasty and neatly put together. The insane roll was delicious. Service was friendly but room for improvement. Will be back as the restaurant is unique, privately owned, and family friendly. Ignore the overly dramatic one star reviews and give this place a try.

The food was pretty good. Prices a little high. Service was surprisingly slow for how few customers on a Thursday night. Music was a little too loud, but the place is cool looking. If I'm every in Sewickley again. I'll stop back.

What can I say about this place! It's one of our new favorites in Sewickley & Pittsburgh area. The other evening was a 2nd time in 2 weeks, and we brought a friend along, and now he's a fan too. We love their sushi, Rock-n-Roll, Flirty Mermaid, and Dragon Roll just to name a few. Good edamame too! We liked the Ahi Tuna Poké as well, just thought the raw tuna pieces needed a little more marinade and seasoning. Their House Bar Drinks are phenomenal, especially the "Pain Killer" and the "Jet Pilot" which thanks to the 150 proof rum & other rums, etc. added to this drink, makes you feel like you're flying at 30,000 feet! Would love to someday try their pitcher of Sangria. Eddie our server the first time we were there, was fantastic, and at the bar, both Trey, and Reese (who runs the place), are both very competent at making great drinks! Make sure if you go, that you try to get an outdoor, patio table, and ask them to bring some sampling of the sauces & aioli's in addition to what you have on your plated sushi. Fun place to hang out, with patio-centered long gas fire pit on such a beautiful evening. Check out the indoor Tiki Bar too! Very Cool! Stay Great Slippery Mermaid!!

The Sewickley branch of The Slippery Mermaid is just a few weeks old with the original location in Navarre, Florida. I'm grateful for another dining option in Sewickley. It's BYOB with a $5 corkage fee per bottle. Hooray! I gave them a few weeks since they opened before visiting and taking a stab at a review. I've even visited twice - once on a weekend dinner and again for a weekday lunch. I'm willing to chalk it up to inexperience in the very youthful looking sushi chefs that were working on both visits. There were three chefs behind the counter working and they still could not keep up with the pace. The first visit was a completely packed house - and it took 45+ minutes to get our food. The second visit there were only three other tables that were occupied and it still took 45+ minutes to get our food. Something is not quite right here. Again, I'm willing to grant grace here since they might not have their groove since they opened. Service is OK. No updates given by our server for the very long wait on both visits. The food was tasty enough. But by the time the food arrived, I was just happy to have something to eat to take the edge off the very long wait times on both visits. On our first visit, here's what our family had: California Roll from the kids menu - $6. My 7 year old was very pleased! 10 pieces in all for this and it was probably the best value on the menu. Tempura shrimp roll - $9. The cream cheese in this is totally unnecessary but tasty enough. Tropical Mermaid-Shrimp Tempura Roll with toasted coconut both inside & out, finished with sweet thai chili sauce - $10. This thing is so sickly sweet between the thai chili sauce and the coconut. My wife loved it though! The Dragon Roll-Spicy Tuna Roll topped with yellowfin tuna, eel, avocado,tobiko, tempura crunchies, scallions and finished with three sauces; zesty aioli, sweet soy reduction, and sriracha - $12. This was tasty but the eel just didn't seem to go on this. The crunch factor was good since there are a lot of mushy elements to this roll. After corkage fee ($5 for one bottle of wine we brought) and drinks for the kids it came to $57 after tax and tip. I'm willing to give this place another shot since the Asian food options nearby and on this side of the river are limited and not all that appetizing. There doesn't seem to be a shortage of sushi chefs working at The Slippery Mermaid which makes me wonder why it took so long for food to be leaving the sushi counter.

Awesome place to eat in the Village of Sewickley. The variety of sushi & sashimi are unbelievable from the basic to the unusual to the very own Pittsburgh roll. The portions were just perfect and everything was fresh! Love the place and the location.

Lots LOTS of choices. Almost too many choices for rolls. Rolls are pretty large and there are some interesting combinations. It's not the best sushi I've ever had, which is why only four imaginary internet stars.

The sushi here was really fresh and good. We got 4 rolls, and were worried about being able to finish all of them, but then the next thing you know they were GONE! Prices are what you would expect for Sewickley and for sushi, so no surprises there. Overall, I will go back for sure!

Well it's been a while since I've written a review on Yelp and frankly I've been remiss for not doing so. We moved to Pittsburgh (from San Francisco) a couple years ago and have been enjoying the emergence of the Pittsburgh food scene. More reviews will follow - as the food experiences are good and improving in this town. I say in this town, but sadly there are no signs of life in my neighborhood, Sewickley. Devoid of any half-decent restaurants, we've long been resigned to having to drive to the City and the East End to get our eat on. But we were cautiously optimistic when we learned that a new sushi joint was to open right on our doorstep in Sewickley. The caution was well-placed. We've been to the Slippery Mermaid a couple of times now and will not be going back. We had a half-decent lunch there a few weeks ago. We were prepared to overlook some of the odd design choices (the crockery looks more improvised than chosen with any design concept in mind), and even the clumsy service (this is Sewickley, after all). But we ordered take-out tonight and what we got was beyond awful. First, my wife had to wait for about 50 minutes for a couple of standard menu items (which she phoned in way in advance). There was hardly anyone in the restaurant, and they had to call her because they were confused over the order (which she'd placed over the web). If this wasn't odd enough as she sat waiting for the food (long after she'd ordered it) she listened as stories unfolded about orders to Sewickley having been phoned into the Florida sister property (for goodness' sake!) After an interminable delay the sushi was ready. The order - though scarcely extravagant - cost $80. This would have been expensive where the good restaurants are in Pittsburgh. It's exorbitant in a culinary backwater like Sewickley. We unpacked the food and found that the rice (part of the menu that we'd bought) had been omitted from the order. Extremely irritating in and of itself. But then there was the fish. It looked passable - if you ignored the garnish of slices of red cabbage leaf that were browned around the edges. The fish itself was tasteless, too cold (amazing given just how long we'd been forced to wait for the food!) The squid and Octopus (normal favorites of ours) were tough to the point that they were too hard to eat. And the fish was generally poorly cut. The salmon in particular was awful - with large slices of tasteless fish - as if they'd been cut with a dessert spoon. You have no idea how long and how desperately we've been calling for a sushi restaurant in this neighborhood. We've found a surprisingly excellent provider up on Route 8 in Gibsonia ( yelp.com/biz/k-asian-bis… in case you're interested). But Slippery Mermaid, despite charging a big multiple of their prices, delivers both service and food that is nowhere near as good.

I came with six friends and we had a great time! We all got different rolls so we could try a verity. They have soooo many fun options. But really, everything we tried was really good!! We loved the food, the atmosphere is welcoming, and our waiter was so nice and helpful with all of our questions. Overall it was great!

Me and two girlfriends just ate an absurd amount of sushi and all said it is the best sushi we have ever had! So many choices! We will be back :)

As far as Pittsburgh-are sushi goes, this place is better than most (for more traditional sushi there is "Sushi" in Oxford Center), and I have never had a bad meal, here, though I tend to stick with the things that I like. Recently they have opened an indoor Tiki Bar and there is outside seating behind the restaurant, which is nice for cooler summer evenings. Based upon what I have paid at other local locations where the sushi is made fresh, I don't think the prices are that out of line and there is certainly a great many options not found at most other places. If I have one complaint, it is that they are no longer BYOB since the bar opened, and if you are a wine drinker, the bar is not cheap. Currently there is no Happy Hour which means that you pay $8 for a glass of the house white, which costs $9.99/bottle in the PLCB store 110 ft away. Pittsburgh is known for the obscene way in which restaurants overprice drinks, especially wine, and a 400% markup is not uncommon though I don't expect to pay that much for what is, essentially, a neighborhood eatery. For now, I'll be getting take out and saving my money for the sushi.

Good service and friendly staff, but certainly not worth the price. Sushi is mediocre at best, and while items sound delicious on the menu, it just doesn't come together. I had high hopes, but I doubt I'll go back.

Tried to meet my girlfriend for lunch on Saturday, as soon as we open the door the most horrible fish smell was too overwhelming. Could not even stand to take a seat at a table. Sorry to say I couldn't even try the sushi. LW

Expect to wait over an hour to receive two rolls of sushi and then be treated with annoyance from the staff when you ask for your meal to go. The ambiance and decor is great, however I wouldn't recommend a jaunt out of the city for imitation crab that requires an hour to prepare on a Tuesday evening.

I had been homeless for over two months surviving on scraps I could find in dumpsters and the side of the road. My wife had recently left me for an nba player. I was at a low point in my life. I had washed up in a shore in sewickly pa after jumping off the west end bridge in an attempt to end it all. A man named Dontell found me. He asked me if I was ok, I could only cry. He asked me what was wrong and I told him my story. We cried together. He picked me up ok his shoulders and took me to a sushi place called slippery mermaid. He ordered a roll called a sexy mermaid. I took the first bite, tears still in my eyes. As I tasted it I began to cry even harder. Not tears of emptiness or despair like those of latter, no, these tears were of pure ecstasy. That sexy mermaid filled my mouth like no other before it. I immediately fell in love. To this day I send donations to slippery mermaid annually, thanking them for their lovely food, saving my life, and introducing me to my Amazon husband Dontell. I'd always heard sushi saves,but now, now I believe.

Did takeout for lunch. Excellent food. Friendly staff. Food ready in 20 min even though we placed a large order.

Loved this new restaurant. My husband and I had the Red Headed Mermaid, The Merman & the Peck-n-Roll. The Merman was the favorite for both of us. While one would think a roll having seared steak on it would be strange, it was amazing! The peck-n-roll we didn't much care for. It had grilled chicken in it and was a bit bland. We will definitely be back to try other rolls.
