Oishii

I was really disappointed by Oiishi, all around. The biggest disappointment was the overall experience and the service, but the mediocre food was also a downer.
The restaurant was surprisingly busy for a Tuesday night, which might explain some of the wait. Drinks were slow to come out and our potstickers/​appetizers were cold. The best appetizer was the edamame– warm, lightly salted, pretty good.
As far as what we ordered, my friends liked the hot and sour soup and the tuna tataki looked great. I would order these in the future. However, I would not order any sushi or roll items that include rice. All of the rice was dry and hard. We also ordered the sea bass hot pot, which was fried (?) and covered in a syrupy sauce that was teriyaki-​esque. It wasn’t great, and then our waiter took it away before we were done (sad).
We finally got our bills and were told there was no change. When we clarified it was for tip, not for valet, our waiter was somehow able to find change– of course.
Unfortunately, the mediocre food and mediocre service just didn’t leave me dying to go back.

Always great service. Always great food. The Golden roll, which is a special, is amazing. The g-​roll is also delicious. Definitely recommend. My friend had their yellowtail sashimi and the seaweed salad. She was really happy with both. Absolutely check it out if you’re in the area. One of my faves.

Horrible service!!! Hadn’t been here in a while but I don’t think we will be back!!! We came for dinner and they said the wait was an hour so we decided to sit at sushi bar. As we are about to sit they came and told us thY it was reserved so we to the bar area and it took forever for the bartender to take our order and almost an hour for our food to come out. While we waited on the food the so call «reserved». Sushi bar had no one sat there. Worst experience!!!

I love every single dish (both on and off the menu) at this restaurant but the one that always brings me back is the amazing Golden Roll. It is to die for! Other great ones are the Oishii Roll, G Roll and TriBeCa (if a fan of truffle, yum!).

Loved the creativity and delicious taste of the Tribeca roll. The Alaskan roll is my second favorite.

Oiishi is amazing. The fish is always super fresh and the sushi chefs make the most fabulous and creative dishes. Just ask them to «feed you»! We love the owner, Ton. He makes wonderful and taste tantalizing sushi dishes.
The Dallas Newspaper critic keeps re-​reviewing other sushi restaurants and wrongfully dissing this top-​notch sushi bar. I guess she’s stuck in a groove.
Anyway, we love this place every time we go!!!

My favorite sushi place in Dallas Texas. Hands down. Frequent here at least 2x per week. All regulars. Thanh is a genius with his sushi. Cannot even recall ordering here anymore. Just come in, tell them what you like and dislike and they will keep you begging for more.

We were on our way to another restaurant. It was worth the extra few bucks for fresh, fresh yummy food. The Cowboy Roll was excellent. I ordered Magnolian which was the best. My company ordered General Chicken was very yummy. Kungpoa Chicken was very good and spicy.

I love Oishii. I know that sounds weird, seeing as this is a 2-​star review, but I really do like them. Their sushi is awesome, their Chinese food is great, and their Vietnamese soups aren’t half bad, either. Their crab rangoons are seriously my favorite ever. My boyfriend and I eat at Oishii pretty often, considering I live right down the street. And the food (and sushi) is consistently really good.
Why the low rating, then? Because the service has gotten consistently worse over the last six months to the point where I actually hate going to the restaurant!
In the last two months or so I haven’t been able to get seated in less than 45 minutes, the bar gets crowded and there’s a ton of wasted space (so it’s awkward to wait the 45 minutes for your table), it takes FOREVER to get food, the food you get comes out in waves, and service is slow (although the staff is for the most part very nice and responsive).
While the service is hit-​or-​miss, the host is consistently terrible! It’s gotten to the point that he won’t pick up the phone ever and will refuse to submit to-​go orders, whether over the phone or in person. On a Thursday night at 8:30 PM they refused to take my order as to-​go, insisting that if I was going to order food I needed to wait until a table came open, sit down, and then order! I’ve never heard of such a thing!!! I am ordering to-​go because I don’t want to stay. Just take my order and say it will be 30 – 45 minutes for food, but don’t insist I crowd up your weirdly set-​up bar and wait for a table before I can place my order and give you my money.
Overall, I think they just under-​staff the restaurant and don’t have enough cooks (or speedy enough cooks!) in the kitchen. They’re a little pricey, but not bad, and the food is great, but don’t go when you’re famished, because you’ll be waiting for FOREVER, and set your service expectations low when you come in.

This place is a solid sushi place when it comes to the plethora of sushi restaurants in Dallas. I have had several of their rolls and they all come out fresh and really tasty.
It does get packed around lunch, so I suggest getting there earlier than the typical noon time. The parking is abysmal. Please listen to me and CARPOOL if you are going with co-​workers. You will not regret it.
The service, even though they are constantly running around at full speed, are pretty good about making sure the food is good, your drinks are refilled and are overall quite nice.
I am a big fan of their yellow fin tuna and their rainbow roll.

The service is hit or miss. I went and had the bartender/​waiter spill food all over me and never got an apology, let alone something to clean myself off with.
When I reported this to the manager he apologized but offered NOTHING for my trouble. We haven’t been back since. We used to go once a week. Now it’s on a day when we are desperate and not get the idiot waiter as a server.
I also need to mention how he never took my order and I was the first to arrive at the sushi bar during a busy lunch hour. Again NO ACCOUNTABILITY from the lame manager for his staff.

I’ve written a review on here before, and still think very highly of Oishii. However, I visited last night during dinner hours when the restaurant was packed. This was new to me, as I usually eat here during off hours. I was seated at 7:00pm sharp, and considering the tables were rapidly filling up, submitted my order as soon as I sat down so I wouldn’t end up behind many of the tables and get stuck waiting for my food.
I’m not sure this mattered. It appeared as if everyone who was already there had been there for a long time. I saw many faces with waning patience. More than once when food showed up at a table, I overheard a, «Thank God,» or another exasperated gasp.
As it relates to my order, the edamame appetizer took nearly 45 minutes to arrive. It was another twenty minutes before my first two sushi rolls arrived. Then another. Then another. For four rolls and a bowl of edamame, I sat in a very cold restaurant for nearly two hours.
It’s a good thing that the sushi is amazing, but even still, I don’t know that it’s worth the wait. I can say that I will definitely be back… for take out.

Phenomenal sushi, one of the best sushi restaurants in town! I recommend the #42 roll and the Royce roll. Orange chicken is delicious too! The service is OK… Always pretty average. But I still come here all the time because of the food.

This is the most consistent sushi restaurant in Dallas! So fresh and innovative! Cheers to Thanh and his team! And Tom always makes you feel welcome!

Terrible service :(
Hate to rag on any place. Everyone deserves benefit of the doubt, especially on a busy Friday night. But hostess hasn’t a clue what she’s doing, and GM very apathetic about it.
Hear the food is deserving of rave reviews, but never had the privilege to taste.
Had called in a reservation and assured no wait should be expected.
Waited 45 min for a six top. Walk-​in groups with 6+ sat within 20 mins but not us. Not sure why. Brought this to hostess and GM’s attn more than once (and in the least confrontational way possible… worked in service industry prior and know what terrors people can be) but eschewed aside. Finally told by hostess that nearly ready, but must crowd at a table for four with two chairs pulled up at the sides.
A bit insulted by this gesture we decided to leave.
Will try again to dine here (with no more than two persons in tow) and report back.

this is the best sushi I have ever eaten. Staff was so friendly and the restaurant was packed on a Saturday night. They have an array of unique rolls and everything about our meal was divine.

Came here for lunch on Friday. I was actually surprised by how busy it was! I would definitely suggest coming before noon if you don’t want to wait. The interior was nicer than I would have originally thought.
The crab rangoons were delicious and my coworker and I each got the sushi lunch, which is a california roll and one piece of 4 different types of sushi. It was a little steep for $ 14, but the quality was good.
Service was awesome and we never had to wait on refills or additional ginger.

The sushi here was delicious!!! I absolutely loved the Golden Roll… It’s a California roll wrapped in fresh salmon… It literally melted in my mouth. It was sooooooooo damn good. I also indulged In the summer roll… Although it’s not filling (because it has zero rice and instead wrapped in cucumber) it was still amazing! …it had fresh salmon and crab inside.
Now I didn’t care too much for the G roll… It was «awe-​ight» and just a bit bland. I need a pop of flavors happening In this mouth! I also tried the TriBeCa… It’s fresh salmon with avocado sandwiched in two pieces of a crispy rice chip… It was very filling and was very good but I think the chip kinda’ overwhelmed the filling, but I still enjoyed it and would order it again. But hands down… I’m in love with the golden roll. Yum! Two thumbs up to this place.

Love this place! Mainly because I love the tribeca roll (fresh salmon and avocado stacked between two crisp shrimp crackers with a hint of truffle oil). It’s maybe more of a small sandwich-​like meal than sushi but it’s soo delicious! I have ventured out to try the payesteh roll (secret menu), rainbow roll and the alaskan roll, which are all fresh and well made, but the tribeca roll is where it’s at!
Also, they have now added complimentary valet parking, which makes parking in this small lot less irritating.

Talk about some sushi lovin’! This place is serving it up fresh with some inventive, tasty rolls. Great bar/​lounge area… order a whole bunch of items to share over vino. Love anything with fresh salmon involved. Lots of fun spots in the area too… have dinner and then hit up the town afterwards!
