My favorite affordable sushi place in the city.  I love the people that work there (they are very friendly) and their new storefront (2032 Murray; just one block up the hill from their old location) is bigger and in better shape, making the atmosphere very pleasant.  I believe it is owned and run by a Japanese family, which is a rarity in Pittsburgh and results in high quality sushi.  I have been coming here for years and even though I've had a couple of not amazing meals for the most part everything has been everything I hoped.  Sushi is my comfort food and Chaya is the place I go for it.
