Mmmm...Sushi

If you're like me, then you like Sushi. I'm pretty sure Luke enjoys it, too.

My sushi travels have been somewhat limited, so I'm always open to going to a new place if anybody has one. But because of where I go to school and where I live off campus, I have two suggestions if you're looking for some sushi.

As a student at Pitt, the place to go for sushi in Oakland is at Sushi Boat. It's located on Oakland Avenue between Forbes and Fifth Avenue. It looks like a small place, and it is, but they have upstairs seating for dine-in or you can just get your food to go. Now, sushi isn't cheap but Sushi Boat's is reasonably priced, especially considering there isn't any other sushi place in Oakland. A roll is typically around $5, but they have a couple combo deals where you get about two rolls for about $6. I found this menu online but I don't think it's updated and it doesn't list the combo sushi deals, so take it for what it is. Still, Sushi Boat is the go-to place for sushi in Oakland.

I'm pretty sure that the first thing I did after moving into Shadyside last August was find a sushi place. Some afternoon after we had moved in, Luke and I were craving some sushi and a quick Google search brought us to Sushi Too. It's located right on Walnut Street, just before Aiken Avenue. Like many things outside the college area of Oakland, the price of sushi at Sushi Too is a little bit pricier. But also like many things outside the college area of Oakland, the quality is better. And that's what you get at Sushi Too. The sushi does taste better and you can find deals there, too. If you are going for lunch, be sure to do their lunch special. You get two rolls, soup and salad for $7.5. Now that's a deal too hard to pass up.

But while I do enjoy sushi, my experience is somewhat limited to only two areas. If you have a good suggestion for Luke and I to check out, let us know.
