We went to Oishii for my birthday dinner, and every single bite truly melted in my mouth. There is no doubt you will enjoy yourself here. The food is exceptional. We ordered an assortment of maki, nigiri, crispy rice, fried rice, and more, and everything tasted sensational. Even though we dined on New Year’s Eve, the quality of the food did not suffer at all.
The service was just as impressive. The staff was incredibly attentive and genuinely caring. They offered to check our coats for free, and since it was my first time and the restaurant is dimly lit, a staff member walked me to the restroom. Those thoughtful touches really stood out.
One small note is that we were seated between two other two-person tables, which initially made conversation feel a bit close. However, the guests near us were very kind, and after a while, we did not mind it at all. The restaurant has two floors. At first it does not seem very large, but it is surprisingly spacious.
Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience and a memorable way to celebrate my birthday.

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.

Came for dinner, left emotionally attached.
Foie gras said “treat yourself,” wagyu burgers said “cancel your plans,” and the treasure spoon felt like I unlocked a side quest.
Handrolls were rolled with love, squid ink pasta had me questioning my life choices (in a good way), and the coconut sphere? A ✨dramatic reveal✨.
Matcha crepe + lobster dumplings = I’m not the same person anymore. Dancing salmon stole the show. I was just there for moral support.

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.

Oishii excels as an everyday sushi destination—consistent, approachable, and reliably well-executed without pretense.
The food is clean and familiar in the best way. Fish quality is dependable, rice is properly seasoned, and nigiri arrives balanced and straightforward. Rolls and composed dishes favor clarity over excess, making the menu easy to navigate whether you’re ordering staples or branching slightly outward. Nothing reaches for spectacle, but very little misses—an important distinction for a place meant to be returned to often.
Service is efficient and friendly, keeping pace without rushing. The experience feels smooth and predictable, which is exactly what you want from a regular sushi spot. You’re not here for ceremony; you’re here for consistency.
The room supports that mission. Comfortable, casual, and lively, it invites repeat visits rather than special-occasion expectations. It’s a space designed to fit into routine, not disrupt it.
Verdict:
Oishii earns four stars by being dependable. It may not aim to redefine sushi in Boston, but it delivers clean fish, balanced execution, and an experience that makes it easy to come back again and again. An excellent everyday sushi spot.

Absolutely some of the best Japanese food we have had. They have an extensivr maki menu, amazing starters. Black cod, rock shrimp, tuna tartare and the special makis were all delicious and super fresh.
Our next door guys were eating Wagyu beef which we couldn’t have due to non-halal, but it looked sumptuous.
Very good service, and amazing ambience.

I was scrolling through my 2023 photo album and realized I never left a review for this place! Looking at recent photos, it seems the menu hasn’t changed much, so here is my belated “solo diner” experience.
Highlights:
Salmon on Fire (5/5): The presentation is a conversation starter—the salmon sheets are hung up like laundry! They are thick and topped with crispy bacon bits. Dipping the fish into the fragrant (not too spicy) chili oil was a delight. It’s served over burning coffee beans; while I didn’t get a strong coffee aroma, the flavor combination was fantastic.
Foie Gras with Truffle & Fruit (5/5): Both were excellent. The truffle version has a long-lasting savory finish, but the fruit version (#74) was the real winner. The sweetness from the raisins added a playful layer of flavor that cut through the richness of the foie gras.
Coconut Sphere (5/5): A very fun and creative dessert to end the meal!
The “Meh” Parts:
Seafood Mushroom Risotto (3/5): Felt like a Japanese take on Paella or Tai Meshi. It’s served in a traditional pot with plenty of shiitake mushrooms. It was unique, but the taste didn’t blow me away.
Toro Truffle Maki (3/5): Pretty standard. The presentation was average, and the taste was exactly what you’d expect—nothing more, nothing less.
What to Skip:
Wagyu Ishiiyaki (1/5): Total gimmick. You get 6 slices of beef and a hot stone. If you don’t time it perfectly, the meat gets tough and chewy. Not worth the price at all.
Overall The food is undeniably beautiful and “Instagrammable”. It’s a premium experience for solo diners who appreciate food aesthetics

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!
