"The modifier “cute little” could be added to just about every spot in the South End - cute little French spot, cute little coffee shop, cute little $1.4 million gut-renovated basement condo with leathered granite countertops, etc. It doesn’t work for Oishii, though. This multi-level sushi place with blue accent lighting and rock sculptures looks like the type of sushi restaurant Charlie Sheen’s character in Wall Street would’ve enjoyed, and the menu fits the theme, too. You’ll find lots of fancy ingredients like caviar and truffle that make this place too pricey to be an everyday option, but keep it in mind when you’re celebrating and want to splurge on hamachi served under a smoke-filled glass bowl." - dan secatore
