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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
