on Citysearch May 05, 2009Really cheap ($27 for sushi for two? I think) and pretty good sushi this side of town. Not spectacular, but the chefs have good skill. ( I think the skill of the chefs are comparable to that of high class sushi places like... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 24, 2008Good selection of sushi and certainly a great ambiance I love their suhi bar interaction - you can see teh shshi masters in action - brings a lot of charm and authenticity to teh place. The place was full when we went... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 22, 2008I first went to Oishii back in 2000 and the food was amazing. Rumor has it that the chef had worked at Nobu (NYC). Fast forward to 2008, the menu is still the same, dated since early 2000. The food is awful and expensive.... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 04, 2008We had a spread of sushi, sashimi and rolls. We were impressed with the freshness of the fish. However we were disappointed about the rolls. Other area restaurant such as Ginza (Boston one) would be a better choice for... (more)

on Judys Book Feb 10, 2008I thought the food here was very, very good. The standard sushi offerings, such as hamachi sashimi were excellent, and their more creative dishes were top-rate. But geez, do they move you in and out! As you wait, they... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 02, 2007This place is awesome. The wait is usually long and it's not exactly romantic or anything, but the food tastes great. There is no better place for fresh and yummie sushi and appetizers in all of Boston. If you like... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 20, 2007I just do not understand why this place is suppose to be good. Last time I went here, I ended up in the bathroom for the rest of my night. It is overpriced, crowded, horrbile service, and dirty. Do not recommend this place... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 16, 2007<b>The Scene</b><br>Rare is the time when all 13 seats aren't taken in the blink-and-you'll-miss-it dining room. Odds are once you're seated, you'll find yourself face-to-fish at the sushi bar, where expert... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 31, 2007yes, it's small (REALLY SMALL), and the prices are a bit high. but this is the freshest sushi you'll find, and the inventive creations are wicked. (more)

on Citysearch Mar 24, 2007I have eaten at both Oishii in the South End and the one on Hammond street. At both places I have had terrible service. This specific location has been the worst. One time I ordered the black cod, and they forgot to bring... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 14, 2007Sushi Rolls do not a true sushi bar make. Having eaten at restaurants like Nobu, Masa, Sushi Yasuda, Jewel Bako and other top sushi restaurants in the United States this is merely average fair. I don?t understand why... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 11, 2007Given the stellar reviews (Best sushi this side of Tokyo), we had really high expectations. The food was very very disappointing. It was just mediocre and some of the fish did not appear to be fresh. Also this location... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 27, 2007Loved it. Some of the best sushi ever. My husband is a pure vegetarian and got some really good veggie sushi options (shikate mushroom tempura and veggie tempura) for a change. Try the cones and even the soups -... (more)

on Judys Book Jan 08, 2007There is a Sushi restaurant named Oishii. The original is a shoe box sized spot in Chestnut Hill off Route 9. For years people in the know have always told that Oishii is the place for the best Sushi period. I never eat... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 06, 2006We were lucky to arrive just before the rush and didn't have to wait. It was an early weekday around 6. The sushi chiefs were friendly, the service was nice, and the sushi.... was excellent. We ordered the Jeffery Role,... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 11, 2006I have been here a ton of times. Go to the Chestnut Hil one, NOT the Boston one...it's just not the same. The small, cramped seating at the sushi bar and long waits are so worth it out here in the suburbs, it is what makes... (more)

on Judys Book Nov 03, 2006Oishii does have a nice food menu, but it doesn't make up for the lack of seating, the not-so-nice wait staff, the long wait and the hurried atmosphere. None of this is even close to how the Japanese dining experience is... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 02, 2006I have eaten sushi at the best places in Los Angles, New York and Tokyo and Oishii is one of the best I have ever tried. I would rank it in the top five in the USA. The reason is obvious once you view the daily fresh sheet. Uni... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 29, 2006Finally after about 1 year after hearing about this place my boyfriend and I managed to make it to Oishii at 5:00pm on a Friday night to try what has been touted as the "best" sushi place in Boston to be disappointed. The... (more)
