Sushi Kim 2 — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

The moment the box opens you’re greeted by a tantalizing mix of aromas: the sharp, chili-tinged spiciness of the wings in the spicy sauce, the sweet, buttery glaze of the honey-butter pieces still glistening, and the golden browned rings standing proud beside them. The presentation is inviting—crispy pieces piled high, sauce coating just enough so you still retain crunch.

The spicy chicken

Each of the ten pieces in the spicy portion delivers. The batter is crisp without being heavy, giving way to tender, juicy meat. The sauce layers in heat rather than sloppiness: there’s a clear chili tang and warmth that stays with you rather than blasts and vanishes. What’s especially good is the balancing act—the spice is strong enough to feel defined, but doesn’t obliterate your taste buds, allowing you to savor the underlying fried-chicken crunch and meat flavor.

The honey-butter chicken

Switching to the honey-butter option feels like flipping the mood—suddenly you’re in dessert-meets-savory territory. Sweet, buttery, lightly salted; the glaze wraps around crisp pieces in a way that keeps the texture intact rather than turning soggy. The sweetness is generous but restrained enough to let the chicken’s flavor shine through. Combined with the heat of the other pieces, it makes for a lovely contrast when you alternate bites.

The onion rings

What a perfect side to round it out. The onion rings are large, golden, and crisp—enough of a treat in their own right. The onion inside is cooked just enough so you get that soft interior and natural sweetness, while the coating stays crunchy. They offer a pleasing respite from the wings—both in texture and flavor. Whether you dip them in whatever stray sauce dripped from the wings, or enjoy them straight up, they add great value and variety to the combo.

Overall vibe

This meal nails the “fun indulgence” category. It’s not fine dining, but it is carefully done. The spicy wings give you bold flavor, the honey-butter gives you a comforting sweet-savory hug, and the onion rings bring in crunchy satisfaction. Good for sharing (or not—no judgment if you keep it all to yourself). If you’re in the mood for something you’ll...

I ordered on (Sushi Kim 2 Restaurants) 🤤tried their new limited menu the korean chicken and i am obsessed with them. I love fried chicken and wings i always try different places so that i can find the perfect ones and this did not disappoint. I really felt like i was in korea just because of how taste , and texture felt the same, whats more is its really fresh and i can tell not from frozen wings. They also have bigger chicken compared to the frozen wings in pizza places and other asian restaurants i’ve tried. If i were u and you love fried chicken u better try it. They only have it till oct 26 as i saw in ubereats however i hope they will make it permanent on their menu. (Sushi kim 2 by far is the best korean restaurant i’ve tried here in Pittsburgh even when their location was on strip district before i was already a fan. Now they have move in Downtown still the best it doesn’t matter if its fried chicken , or Korean BBQ even their soup are better than other asian restaurants I’ve tried.) p.s i added a picture from way back when they were in strip district i love their korean bbq. I also added a picture of menu in ubereats. Price of fried chicken and tonkatsu soup are affordable yet the food are...

Total Score: 3.70

Bathroom: 1.5/5 Sus bathroom. Two toilets? And also the soap dispenser is an interesting TECHNOLOGIA (iykyk). But the soap was drippy messy and icky and unsanitary (ironically)

Customer Service: 2.5/5 Not much interaction, but typical for Japanese restaurant LOL. Hard to grab though

Ambiance: 3.5/5 Nice decor of fish. Small and cozy

Food: 1.5/5 Umm, the sushi was kinda suss. The rice was dry and also all the rice and sushi were rolled and cut in inconsistent shapes. Some of the fish also were not as packed as flavor as usual. The pajeon was also super oily and the bottom was kinda slimy. Food was still edible though

Wow: 0/1 Normal fusion (?) restaurant

Total Score = BR + CS + 2AM...
