Oishii Boston

The tuna tartare was absolutely amazing, some of the freshest tuna I’ve ever had. I’m glad I tried this place with my friends. The presentation was beautiful and the atmosphere was very nice. While the desserts were good, they weren’t the highlight for me. It is a pricey restaurant, but overall it was a pleasant experience.

Great vive and clean, nice presentation of the food, fresh ingredients. My seafood udon soup was nothing special, but the rolls are really great. So is dessert.

If not for the smallish sign on the outside, you may miss this eye catching, scent stimulating, taste buds memorizing restaurant, in the South End. The options were extensive, and the flavors purely satisfying. We want to send a special thank you to Kevin, Adam, and Peter and the owners for a great experience and incredible menu.

Some of the best sushi in Boston! Great service, and we've never had something we didn't like. Sitting at the sushi bar highly recommended, since you might get to chat with the chefs, and you can see how they make your sushi.

It was fabulous. Each dish was incredible. The desserts: molten was great Will definitely be back next time we're in Boston.

Had a great experience here every time I've been. Some really unique offerings such as the salmon on fire that have a gimmky presentation but also taste delicious. The fundamentals are great: good selection of sushi to choose from with high quality fish that breaks apart very easily in your mouth. I loved the savoriness of the squid ink pasta. Would definitely recommend this for first time patrons. Also very creative presentations for desert. And delicious too!

Amazing omakase! We loved every bite, and the truffle was the best! Wide sake list and great service just mashed this the best choice for sushi!

Okay, this was entirely my fault. I got a little carried away by what I “thought” was the newly improved restaurant scene in Boston after having a few excellent meals at Japanese Spots here. This was not one of those meals. In my defense: I scoped Oishii out extensively online. Looked at many pics, read through multiple online versions of their menu (which were very misleading…). Here’s the problem at Oishii: I’m going to go out on a limb and say that at least 90% of the menu items are deep fried/tempura. Not kidding. There is this huge, long sushi bar fully staffed with chefs and they’re deep frying every, damn thing. I’m sure that sells. It’s probably not a problem for them. Deep Fried sushi is not my thing and not why I came. So….my bad. I had actually planned what I was going to order/eat from reading thoseonline menus. Pretty much none of the items I was planning to order actually appeared on the menu last night. I’m assuming they serve what sells for them: Tempura Everything. #eyeroll The spot itself is very beautiful. Multiple levels, multiple bars and dining areas. Really lovely furnishings and serving plates, etc. Also? EXCELLENT Sake List. One of the best, most extensive I’ve ever seen. Super impressive. If they had had even just a “basic” sushi section on that menu Oishii might have worked for me. As in you can’t just order some ala carte pieces of sushi and/or some simple rolls. (I was not given a menu including that. I can see one online. Maybe I should have asked. I just assumed the fancy, bound menu they gave me was the entire menu??) You must choose from a large page of very elaborate rolls. I managed to find two that did not contain deep fried ingredients. And one of those was a California Roll. Oishii is A Lot of Show and very little substance. Looks good. Decent vibe. Underwhelming food. What they’re serving is trying too hard. Everything is muddled. Too much tempura. Flavors and ingredients are not able to stand on their own. On the upside: Portion size is ginormous. One roll will likely do you. So you could have a wonderful bottle of Sake and eat one giant Tempura something and be good! What I had: Cucumber Salad: EXCELLENT. Best thing I had. Led me to have irrationally high expectations. Fried Vegetable Dumplings: really disappointing. Fast food type dumpling that was overcooked. Spicy Salmon Crispy Rice: Very meh. I have no idea what was mixed in with the spicy salmon. But it was A LOT of stuff which made the entire piece too large. Almost impossible to eat. Which is a clear failure in the world of sushi. You must actually be able to get the piece into your mouth… Scallop Crispy Shiso (I think this was on the appetizer menu): Okay, this was DELICIOUS. But this is also an entire meal. Tempura shiso leaf with a scallop on top and then piled high with shredded, fried Taro. This is one of dishes you can order with your excellent Sake and be one and done! Mixed Green Salad: I needed to cleanse my palate from all the fried…basic salad. It was fine. “Real” California Roll with King Crab. It was good. Basic. Fine. For the Love of Salmon Roll: Tobiko, Avocado, Cucumber, Seared King Salmon, Ikura, Shiso, Spicy Mayo. Really good, gigantic roll. Very “busy.” Lots of things going on. Not usually my thing. But again, order one of these and you’re good! I tried their “signature dessert” which is the definition of trying too hard. Hahahahahaha. So much going on. Presentation over substance. Cannot recommend. It’s something like a big, frozen coconut egg with some espresso mousse inside sitting in a little base of yuzu with some berries. #eyeroll Nice Date Spot. If you live in the area also nice spot. Not worth making the effort to travel to.

Oishii has all the pieces, nice vibe, impeccable service, and above all, a comprehensive menu that delivers Chef Ting is at the helm; this is more than a sushi joint. Sure, all the standards are available, but I go for the items we don't see often. There is more cooked food than one would expect. Order the wagyu sliders, and you will be happy. Torched salmon, squid ink noodles, and lobster dumplings are nice. Torched tuna maki with bonito flake, OMG. Desert is not something I consider at an Asian restaurant; it is transcended here with cake and delicious custom frozen desserts. I like my restaurants with a full bar, and that box is checked, too.

Wow. Incredible service incredible sushi and incredible vibes. I really enjoyed it. Really glad we went

Great vive and clean, nice presentation of the food, fresh ingredients. My seafood udon soup was nothing special, but the rolls are really great. So is dessert.

Good - could have been better. I had the crispy rice and toro, salmon belly & tobiko sashimi. The crispy rice was divine - I have never had crispy rice with that amount of fish on it and the quality was top notch. The sashimi was a bit underwhelming, the Toro did not melt in my mouth as Toro should but the salmon belly and tobiko were without complaint. Service could not have been better though and the ambiance is perfect for a nice evening out. Overall I don't know that I would come running back but if you're looking for good Sushi in the area I don't think you can go wrong with Oishii!

Came here for a nice Friday night dinner and drinks. Overall the service was top notch, with a small starter given within a few minutes of getting seated. Sitting across from the sushi bar watching them craft some great looking rolls added a spectacular addition. Will be back again to try even more great apps and rolls!

We get salmon on fire Seaweed salad 20 pieces of sashimi American waygu om hot stone Magical spoon (uni) For what i pay , i better off eating the swollen rabbits i get in my yard . I Wasnt truly satisfied but it was my bday so i ate until i almost puke anyhow . I think i need find new places to go , i was somehwat dissapoint in the food . They better serve me better next yr on my birthday .

Celebrated my birthday here and it was a great experience. High quality japanese food, the flavors were complex and delicious. Dishes we got: - sakura smoked hamachi: smokey flavor with melt in your mouth buttery quality of fish - for the love of salmon: perfection for salmon lovers - shrimp explosion: huge fan of the shrimp and they give a lot of extra in the portion - seafood risotto: packed with flavor and fresh ingredients

Love coming back here. Tonight was an utmost special dinner as we were celebrating my amazing lady's birthday! Cheers to you Lizzie! Happy bday! We decided to come back to where it first started! Every occasion we celebrate here, our dishes are brought out right on time as we finish the last bites of the previous dish. Each dish has always been well prepared, fish always fresh, flavor profiles have depth and we have our favorites!. Flaming salmon always graces our table first, i wish it came with 6 pcs haha but about 30seconds for us is the good touch of fire before you grab, dip into the sauce that accompanies the salmon (vinegar based it seems like) and slurp. Melts. We decided today to also get the hamachi jalepeno (crispy fried jalepeno), take the fish drop some peppers on it, scoop it up and dab into the sauce on the plate and enjoy! In between dishes we used the edamame puree to cleanse our palates. We decided on 3 maki's which is about the perfect fill for us. The truffle toro, love for salmon, and crispy mango! Our favorite is the truffle toro / hamachi. It's buttery and just tastes so good. I wanted to make sure the birthday girl tried the black squid ink pasta with bits of squid mixed in. It's a savory dish, the ink doesn't stain your teeth long. We also always get the buttery flaking crispy goodness that is, Chilean seabass! And of course instead of going overboard with deserts like the last time, we got the coconut sphere, yuzu, black raspberries, raspberries and caramel cream. Always a good ending to a great evening. Will be back again.

This was the best sushi I've had in my life with the best flavor profiles. The atmosphere was stunnin

We celebrated my graduation at Oishii Boston, and it was nothing short of unforgettable. Fittingly, "Oishii" means "tasty" in Japanese and the name couldn't be more accurate. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the beautiful, modern interior- a blend of upscale elegance and beautiful Japanese aesthetics. The ambiance was perfect for a special occasion. The fish was incredibly fresh, each bite practically melting in our mouths. We sampled a variety of sushi and sashimi, all artfully presented and bursting with flavor. The Toro tartare and signature Oishii rolls were standouts, layered with flavor and texture. Even the simpler dishes were executed with precision. clean, balanced, and undeniably oishii. The dessert was great, save some room because the portions are family style! What really elevated the experience was the exceptional service. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive without being intrusive, and made fantastic recommendations that enhanced our meal. They even surprised us with a celebratory dessert to honor the graduation, a thoughtful touch that made the night even more special. If you're looking to celebrate a milestone or just want to indulge in high-quality Japanese cuisine, Oishii Boston delivers on every level. It's a place where the food, service, and setting come together for a truly memorable dining experience. Highly recommend making a reservation this gem is well worth planning ahead for or during the week just give them a call!

Wow. This place blew our expectations, and some sushi I had never tried before. Highly recommend The Maki, which has truffle on it and would never expect that to be one of the better rolls I've had in a while. Also, can never go wrong with salmon, and For The Love of Salmon was another popular one recommended. I also have to give a shoutout to our waiter Peter. He was super nice, gave great recommendations, and was very attentive. Highly recommend here whether it's for lunch, dinner, date night, or a large party. They are able to accommodate all.

Great modern Japanese fusion Enjoyed a lot of their presentations! Dessert was definitely a highlight for us Great vibes for gathering / family time

Very clean and friendly staff, mean whiskey drink and fish was very fresh. The most impressive soft shell crab roll I've had in Boston.

Ambiance: wonderful evening calming mood lighting with multiple areas to select seating. Food: unparalleled gunkan and classic spicy tuna roll! The inari sushi was subtly sweet. All sushi was perfectly assembled. Service: our server Peter was wonderful. Probably the highlight of the evening. Described all details of Japanese cuisine well, and recommended multiple dishes and sake. Very attentive to detail and patient.

Normally I don't like to do too much for my birthday, but my sweet Christopher is AMAZING and the BESTEST! He took me here for an early birthday dinner & Oishii's is always a great time. Tonight, we got the hamachi appetizer & salmon on fire, 3 maki rolls (toro truffle, for the love of salmon, & crunch mango), two entrees (chilean sea bass & squid ink noodles), & of course, had to end our meal with the lovely coconut sphere (my favorite!). We were not the biggest fan of asparagus or cucumber rolls last time we were here so we decided to skip out on those rolls. Everything tasted absolutely delicious per usual & cannot recommend Oishii's enough for sushi! Their menu is a bit on the pricey side BUT very generous portions and not skimpy like other high end restaurants. Dark ambiance here. Don't be shy to use flash for pictures hahaha. The toro truffle is a MUST, as well as the coconut sphere. 10/10 ;)

Great food and amazing quality of fish! Our server was great, recommending popular items and her personal favorite which made reviewing the menu a lot easier. Ordered the chef sashimi plate ($100) and the hamachi tango ($30), both very delicious! Hinted also that we love toro, since the chef sashimi plate is a complete surprise, and was wow'd with toro on the plate. Highly recommend if looking for quality sushi and willing to pay, since is quite pricey.

Had an absolutely wonderful dining experience. My family enjoyed the 6 course Omakase. The dishes were delicious and the plating and presentation was excellent. The desserts were like pieces of art. The service was fantastic! Thank you Chef Ting, Chef Kevin and Jackie!!

One of the most loveliest experiences! Truly a divine and relaxing place to go for some sushi and japanese entrees that were absolutely delicious. Their wagyu tartar was definitely the star of the show. The peppers on top matched perfectly with the beef melting on your tongue. If you like a kick of spice, this is the one for you!! The sushi was very high quality and we adored the appetizers very much. Our waitress was lovely and everything was very quick. A beautiful restaurant in Boston and a must visit. Definitely would get the salmon on fire for a cool little show!

Got to enjoy a dinner with colleagues here. The restaurant has a nice ambiance. We decided on pork dumplings to start and various makis. The dumplings were freshly made and delicious. The fish was all fresh and quality. Some of the rolls had daikon wrapped around it which added a nice crunch. Ended the meal with the coconut sphere which was so fun to crack open and eat up all the sweet yuzu "fluff". Service was so friendly and quick too. Must try!

Sushi was solid, really enjoyed the crispy rice. The flaming salmon was a great visual presentation. The lobster rangoons were good but I would have preferred a more traditional sweet and sour sauce. The chocolate cake was good but it's nothing I haven't had before. The sphere dessert was cool to look at, but it was better to look at than eat.

Awesome sushi spot in the south end. It's a deceptively large restaurant with well thought out, intimate lighting that gives it a great date aesthetic. Service was a little slow on getting orders but I think they were just trying not to rush us. Sushi combination martini had a refreshing cucumber flavor. I did not get sake but there was a huge selection for connoisseurs. They start you out with an edamame mousse which was absolutely delicious. Oishii sashimi make was a great size, pretty basic flavor. All the rolls are well presented and the staff was very attentive once they started bringing out. I would definitely go again to try more of the menu.

This restaurant has a very cool vibe and decor. The he down stairs is. Must see. The star for me was the crispy rice. The spicy tuna was probably the best I've ever had. Each dish was artistically presented. Overall, I think it was bit pricy, but it was very delicious.

Fancy furnishings. Overpriced. Sushi below average. Almost all of the raw fish I ordered was room temperature rather than chilled, a scary proposition. There were also many blocks of raw fish sitting out on the counter, wrapped in plastic wrap but unrefrigerated

First thing I noticed when I walked into the restaurant was the ambiance. Beautiful, dim lit and perfect for a date night. Sat at the sushi bar and the service was great. The quality of the sushi is phenomenal. I ordered the Japanese Wagyu and cooked it on a hot stone and it was well worth the money. Price definitely reflects the quality, but well worth it in my opinion. Overall fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend for a high end dinner date.

Okay, this was entirely my fault. I got a little carried away by what I "thought" was the newly improved restaurant scene in Boston after having a few excellent meals at Japanese Spots here.

Wonderful sushi and such a beautiful setting. Not inexpensive but worth every cent! Love this restaurant!!!!!! Always have had good service.

Ambience is nice, darkly lit. Clean inside. Service is good, sushi came out fast. Ordered the salmon on fire, spicy tuna crispy rice, and wagyu maki. All of these dishes were 5/5 and I loved them all, The issue was our last roll which was the hamachi truffle maki. It was a complete disappointment. Very fishy and didn't have a balance of flavors. Also took awhile to come out which wouldn't have been a issue if it was actually good. So whatever u do don't order that roll. Also got the lychee martini which was nice, not too strong. Just wish the last roll wasn't so bad.

A friend and I decided to try out Oishii for a weekend dinner. I ordered for myself a salmon skin handroll ($9 each, always a sucker for these), a Spicy Tuna Tempura Roll ($24) and a Sudachi Seared Hamachi Roll ($22) to share. Every ingredient in the Salmon Skin Handroll lie at just the right temperature, ensuring a delightful blend of flavors without any unpleasant surprises. No refrigerator vegetable with hot salmon skin here. The pea shoots and micro-greens added a touch of freshness that elevated the dish. The Spicy Tuna Tempura possessed a creative combination of flavors and textures. The warm tuna tataki, along with chives, crispy garlic, and micro cilantro, proved complex. The Sudachi Seared Hamachi possessed a creamy texture and a refreshing citrus kick at the end. It served as a palate cleanser and provided a unique contrast to the other dishes. While everything proved interesting, I find it difficult to justify $20+ speciality rolls. The price definitely went towards the atmosphere, a modern chic sort of Japanese restaurant that you could find on the Las Vegas strip.

Top notch sushi and Japanese cuisine with a comprehensive yet curated menu. Very impressed with the atmosphere, service, and food quality. Highly recommended!

Disappointed with the experience. After waiting over an hour and a half for the food to come. They completely forgot one member in the group's order. Another person in the group had to send back their order. We spoke with the manager and expressed our displeasure and she was very conniving and dismissive of our concerns. They were very unapologetic and made little effort to rectify the situation. Overall was not the experience I would expect from such a highly touted establishment. We all left hungry and unsatisfied.

Came here for a special occasion and it was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. It's sleek and dark inside which gives it a romantic vibe. The server was attentive and helpful in guiding us through the menu. They start you with a tasty edamame mousse. We got the salmon on fire which was sweet and delicious. We got the chefs sushi and sashimi and it was a great way to sample. We finished with the toro truffle maki and it was the best thing of the night. Will definitely be back and I 10/10 recommend

I really enjoyed it here. The food was fantastic and so was the ambiance. This place was dim with multiple sections of seating and a waterfall wall by the staircase. FOOD: Salmon on Fire: a MUST order! The presentation was really cool and the salmon was very fresh with just the right amount of seasoning. You can blow out the fire after 15 seconds. Not spicy at all. Smoked Hamachi: the presentation was lovely. The hamachi was very fresh and the sauce was just right. This appetizer carried a nice lingering aroma. Toro Truffle Maki: very fresh and delicious. I enjoyed it. Will definitely do another round next time. Soft Shell Crab Maki: haven't had good quality soft shell crab for a while and this one was up there. Shrimp Explosion Maki: this one was a full meal. Half of the plate was Maki and the other half was rock shrimp. Edamame Mousse: complimentary. Unlike most places that start you off with a dish or a bowl of edamame, this place started you out with a complimentary edamame mouse. Make a reservation so you don't need to wait... unless you come early or opt for the bar seating. Great customer service but one drawback was how the soy sauce, wasabi, and ginger came out a bit after they brought out raw food and we had already partially consumed the raw food... not just on one occasion but on both occasions that we were here. Also note that the complimentary wasabi is horseradish... if I remember correctly, the real one is about $30ish.

We used to go to the Oishii in Chestnut Hill all the time. A different take on sushi as compared to that spot, but equally amazing. Otoro - o my! Each bite better than the last.

First time at Oishii Boston: Drinks: 6/5 The drinks were sooo goood, sweet and addicting! Lychee martini Gin martini straight up Food: 6/5 Everything in the menu looked appetizing and delicious. Salmon on fire Toro tuna sushi Wagyu beef tartare Spicy crispy toro with nori wrap Uni, Hamachi, and Ikura sushi Red bean crème brûlée - best item on the menu Both the service and food were amazing. They brought out an edamame purée for starter to refresh our palette. The salmon on fire did not disappoint and I can see why it is one of their populars.

We enjoyed it, but aren't gunning to come back. I was a huge fan of the hole in the wall location in Chestnut Hill years ago, where the fish was special and that's why you came. This place has an exclusive vibe, but it just wasn't that special. Everything was good - service, food. But that's it, just good. Maybe the bartender was having an off night because I didn't love either of my cocktails. With a vibe like that, you'd think everything else would be elevated too.

The best sushi I've had in Boston - hands down! From the ambiance (dim lighting with a floor to ceiling waterfall) to the excellent service and mouthwatering sushi, all I can say is... I have ZERO complaints! Everything was excellent and I cannot wait to return! I even lucked out and snagged myself a parking spot (street parking) right in front of the restaurant. If you're visiting Oishii with a large group, I definitely recommend sitting downstairs where the ambiance is top tier!

We went here to celebrate our anniversary. We arrived early and sat at the bar. Our table was ready on time. The drink Oiishi Blossom was sooo good I ordered another one. We ordered 3 apps and 3 entrees: Wagyu Tartare, Hamachi Kama, Wild Mushrooms, Chilean Sea Bass, Uni Pasta, Chef's Choice Sushi & Sashimi. Can you tell I was hungry? Our meal was sooooo delish and filling, we could have skipped two items. So full we had to pass on dessert but will come back another time for it. Bartender and server were good. Not much interaction but they got our order correct. The restaurant is cozy and dark--romantic vibe. Our total check was $400 including tip for 2 beers, 2 cocktails, 3 apps and 3 entrees. The two things I'd recommend to try are the Wagyu Tartare & Uni Pasta ($52). Everything from our meal was delish though.

We had the pleasure to go back to Oishii a couple weeks ago and again, it was amazing. One of the best sushi restaurants to try if you're in Boston. We were lucky enough to have Branden again! His service attentiveness is A1. We ordered our usual which is wagyu sliders, alligator maki, truffle toro maki, uni, and foie gras. We decided to add in the chefs sashimi choice and it did not disappoint . The presentation was everything. Hoping we'll be back soon and will be trying new things on the menu! Thank you!

Wow. Just wow. I sat at the sushi bar alone and focused on sushi and sashimi and I'm glad I did. The toro, king salmon, uni, a buttery whitefish I don't remember what it was called but was recommended by my server Nhi (who provided incredible service and knew the fish and menu well). My favorite was the truffle foie gras sushi- oh my sushi heaven. I didn't care for the taste of the ikura but it wasn't bad, just not to my taste at this restaurant. I don't know what another diner found unpleasant about the ambience- it was absolutely perfect. The sushi chefs also made some great recommendations. This is not cheap, in fact, the opposite, but if you love sushi, it's a must try.

Pleasantly surprised! My partner booked a reservation here for my birthday dinner, and I had a very good dining experience! Firstly, the staff and waitress was very friendly and came to check on us very timely. The food was very good -- we started off with the hamachi kama, which was so tender and satisfying! Then, we ordered the 10piece chef's choice sushi and added a uni hokkaido and toro nigiri piece. The fish tasted fresh and looked very appetizing! Then, we ordered two rolls, which were probably the more underwhelming options we ordered. The atmosphere is great for a date night -- had a dim and moody ambiance. Also, the restaurant quickly filled up, so I recommend booking a reservation in advance. I would definitely come again!

Overall awful experience. First, we had a young child in our party and we were not told that they did not have a high chair or booster seat until after we were sat. We specifically asked for this upon check in. Second, there were two separate occasions that were placed food orders and the food was not delivered. Upon learning about the missed food the server basically told us it was what it was and disappeared for a long period of time. The food we did get was mediocre at best. There are many places in Boston to get better quality food for the price. Finally, the table across from us ordered a menu item that was seemingly self cooked on a table top grill. When they cooked their food the smoke it created was so copious and thick it smoked out the entire seating area we were in. As this section of the restaurant is downstairs on basement level with drop ceiling and lighting there was no ventilation to remove said smoke. It literally made our eyes water and our clothes smell of smoke. We did not have any manager interaction even though we were clearly having a less than ideal experience. Bad service, mediocre food, and overall an unpleasant atmosphere make for an an awful experience.

Very good, expensive. Everything was great except the Uni served was boarder line fresh in my opinion, had a strong smell, all other dishes were fine. We had 6 course tasting for two with wine/sake pairing and bill was about $850 with tip.

The atmosphere is cozy and dark. The service is nice, the waiters are very busy tho! The food is either 100 or 0 hahaha! Glad it's mostly 100! Most of the food is 100! The salmon in fire is super cool and the raspberry sauce makes it special. You can taste the lobster in each bite of Golden Lobster Dumplings! They are basically made out of lobsters! My personal favorite is spicy salmon salad with cucumber wrap! I rarely see cucumber wrap like this! However sometimes they make it big, sometimes it's small... and it's gonna be unlucky if u get the outer layer (dark green) part lol. The uni and salmon are very fresh. For the 0 part, i have tried lots of foie gras and the foie gras wasn't that fresh, I almost threw up my whole meal after the foie gras. The Wagyu sushi was very hard and it's cold. Those are the only two items I won't order here. Honestly if it wasn't for these two I'll give them 5 stars. But I almost threw up my whole meal last time. Since the price is so high, everything should be fresh!

The food was very medicore. We had a few issues with the service during our dining experience. Let's start off by saying I was there as a party of 2 seated at the sushi bar. During our almost 2 hour of dining, our water was only filled once. With so many waiter/waitress/bussers walking past us, no one noticed we needed a refill on water for over 30 minutes of empty cups. Secondly, my husband ordered a sushi and sashimi combo and I ordered a few rolls. His combo came out first and he had spent about 30 minutes in eating already and my rolls still had not come out. After trying to get the waitress attention to check on the rest of the food, she informed us that "they usually serve the rolls last". That just made no sense to us. Also keep in mind she never asked if we wanted everything to come out once it was ready or if we were sharing the food. Thirdly, for someone who is spending $90 for a sushi and sashimi combo, you'd think someone would explain to you what fish is being served to you, but NOPE! No explanation whatsoever even with the chefs standing right in front of you. For $90 you could eat a whole omakase meal in NYC with much better service. Lastly, we decided that before we left we wanted to give some feedback to the manager of our experience. However, we did not get the sense that the manager has much experience.

Took a 15 minute Uber ride from our hotel to get to Oishii, as it was highly recommended. They were right. We started with a Chef's amuse bouche; edamame purée with wasabi. Sort of Iike a Japanese hummus. Then onto the appetizers, including their specialty "Salmon on Fire". Get the salmon. Get all of the salmon; this place has a way with salmon. Trust me on this one. We also had lobster dumplings that were fried crispy and light on the outside, but filled with tender, juicy lobster purée on the interior. Got an order of the miso marinated black cod. It was so good, we ordered another. Then we had sushi. Lots and lots of sushi. So much maki. Such an amazing fish to rice ratio. And then sashimi. Chu toro that was like silk. I don't recall much after that except thinking that I just had one of the best sushi meals in the past few years. Well, I recall the check; it wasn't the most expensive sushi I've ever had, but it's not exactly cheap, either. We ordered heavy, with drinks, and spend $600 for 4 people, plus tip. When in Boston, and you want sushi, go to Oishii.

Came for the sushi, but all I could think about after leaving was the Crispy Pork Belly. Our party of two started with the steamed Gyoza and Crispy Pork Belly. The Gyoza was standard, but I'm thinking it would have been amazing fried. That was an option, we just went with steamed Gyoza. Hot damn though, y'all can't leave Oishii without trying the Crispy Pork Belly. It's so soft, juicy, tender, and full of flavor! Everything was shared, to include the Route 66, Scallop Tempura Maki, and King Crab Maki. Every roll was delicious, but the Scallop roll was particularly my favorite. That fried scallop on top of the avocado is great. Everything tasted fresh and the service was excellent. We were seated right away, as we had a 6pm reservation. If you're looking for a nice dining experience and incredible food, check out Oishiii!

The food here was so beautiful. The presentation of every dish absolutely blew me away. And of course, everything tasted amazing. I dined here with my family and a friend, and we all shared a bunch of dishes. Some highlights: The salmon on fire was spectacular and very tasty. The smoked hamachi had such a perfect texture. The specialty rolls were gorgeous and tasted amazing!! The highlight was the truffle hamachi roll. The uni pasta was incredible, I could go on and on about it! And don't get me started on the dessert. They were all amazing taste wise and looks wise. This was a really enjoyable dining experience. This is an experience I would recommend to anyone who is interested in splurging a bit.

Highly recommend getting a second mortgage before you come here because these prices are no joke. Whether it's "worth" the price or not is completely up to the diner, just prepared for a high bill if you want the full Oishii experience. With that being said - had a great experience and found almost all of the food to be delicious. Our server Brandon was fantastic too. Stand out dishes include: Salmon of Fire, Escargot Tempura, Wagyu Beef Tartare, Red Bean Creme Brulee, Lobster Tempura Sushi, and Freshwater Unagi Sushi. Everything else was fine but there wasn't a bad dish. Definitely a place to go if you just got another stimulus check, the bill's on your sugar daddy, or you just inherited a massive fortune.

Ate at Oishii tonight for the second time. First time was quite good. This experience was the opposite. The food was bland, the chairs in the bar area were horribly uncomfortable, and the bill was almost $200! The server didn't even inquire about why we didn't eat one of the appetizers (it was not good). Expected so much more.
