The June 2013 issue of Pittsburgh Magazine has the results of its readers' poll on best restaurants in Pittsburgh. For the Japanese / Sushi category, Nakama Japanese Steakhouse came in first, with Umi and Little Tokyo Bistro second and third. Sushi Kim was voted the Best Korean restaurant, with Golden Pig and Dasonii Korean Bistro rounding out the top three.
These results are similar to the City Paper's last fall, and 2013's haven't changed much from 2012's, with Umi replacing Ichiban Hibachi in the Japanese category and Dasonii bumping Green Pepper out of the Korean. The 2009 reader's poll also put Nakama and Sushi Kim in first place. A poll with more Japanese and Korean voters, though, would probably put Chaya Japanese Cuisine and Kyoto Teppanyaki on the list, and vote Golden Pig first place.
In other categories of note, Sesame Inn was voted Best Chinese and Nicky’s Thai Kitchen Best Thai.
