We've eaten here about a half-dozen times. The greeter is _always_ disinterested and lethargic. Waitstaff are generally OK on the first drink but then disappear. We had kept coming back because the hibachi chefs are OK (some variability, but enough standardization to give a reasonable experience). This time, the lack of interest from both the greeter and the manager was overwhelming. Three of us (including a four-year-old) arrived to a nearly empty restaurant. When asking to be seated to wait for the remaining party of four, that was "against the rules". Sitting at the bar with a four-year-old was "against the rules". The restaurant was empty! The manager grudgingly agreed to seat us but "No ordering food" (and, it seemed from his attitude, he would prefer if we did not enjoy ourselves until our party was complete). This is an understandable attitude on a busy weekend, but not on a quiet night when a little enthusiasm for our custom might have been in order! Overall, between the required 15% tips, the extra tip jar on the chef's cart, the disinterested greeters, and the overall view of "what the heck are you bothering us for", I think there are much better places in the area.

This place is a bit disorganized. Once we came and it took 20 minutes befor things got going because they waned to fill the table. Next time the meals were all mixed up. Another time it took forever to get our drinks. Why do we go back, not sure but probably because it's close to home and not ever crowded. The food however is good, nice portions and prepared well. Management needs to get more involved with the customers. The only time we see a manager is if we need something corrected. If I knew the owner, I'd like to tell them that they are dropping the ball here. This could be one of the better places in the 'Burg with the right management. Make sure you have at least an hour or more for dinner.

Went to Yakoso at the recommendation of my daugher, decided to have a family birthday party the first time. It was great, prices where right, the food was fresh and the quality was good for the price. Sushi is excellent! Love the Pittsburgh Roll!! It has become a tradition now with family to go for large occasions, sit at the Hibachi table its large enough for all of us to have a great time at the same table, enjoy good food and the show the chef puts one. We usually do lunch, which makes it much less expensive. Service it good and the staff is always friendly. I am usually rather picky about Asian restaurants as they use alot of MSG and my daughter ends up with a severe headache after we eat. No so here, she loves it all! Thank you for making our family occasions a really great time....
