Chaya (new location)

When Chaya, a Japanese restaurant, first showed up in Squirrel Hill the sushi was excellent -- best within reasonable range of my house at the time -- and the portions generous. Over time the portion sizes diminished and the quality wasn't as consistent -- still very good, but combined with them having only seven tables and not taking reservations (just making people wait in line), we stopped going there as often. Then a year or two Sakura showed up and their sushi was just as good, so we stopped trying to go to Chaya.

A few months ago Chaya moved to a bigger location (a block up the road). We tried to go there a few weeks ago but the line deterred us. Last night I gave them another try (no visible line).
