It was delicious as always and everyone had a good time. The only issue was getting refills on the softdrinks. Other words we look forward in going back and celebrating more family birthdays!Kid-friendliness: It was my granddaughter's 17th birthday celebration .
I generally get a hibachi lunch special to-go, and the price and portion size is JUST PERFECT! (It's actually lunch and a "mid-afternoon slump" snack too!) The staff is always incredibly courteous, and the food is just as amazing! I cannot recommend this place enough, especially for lunch!

It was an icy cold mid January weekday so the restaurant was more available to cater to a big crowd. The food was great. The drinks were good. The staff waited until all13 guests arrived to seat us together, chair to chair basically. Reservations are unfortunately not taken. It was my birthday and I was allowed to bring the birthday cake. Loved the entertainment and cheer of the atmosphere. Loved the birthday song sung to me by the staff with their adorable little drum and lighted red velvet cake with a big firecracker like candle. They handed out a little tiara which was an appreciated token. My friend has a lethal allergy to shrimp and it was taken cared of very well by the chef. He first cooked the rice, then vegetables, and meats, and seafood at the very end so there was no chance of cross contamination. I bought gift cards in advance and paid $490 including 18% tip for chef and server so you can eyeball a rough amount for your party. Sake is $5 each and soda is $3.50. It’s a great place to party and make memories.I hope you found my review helpful.

I’m torn making this review. I have always loved dining and eating at Oishi. The food and service has traditionally been great. We decided to order takeout for a change and it was a bit of a let down. The prices were still very high, but you receive much less food. They charge you if you want extra sauce despite it being free when you dine in. On top of this, the food is definitely not made to the same standard. The rice was bland, the shrimp was rubbery and the steak had no seasoning or flavor. We will not be ordering takeout from here again anytime soon.

The lady taking our order was so rude. My family and I sat down at the hibachi and 2/4 people need to order hibachi so someone went to just add it on and she kicked us to a table instead of letting us finish our order which included the second hibachi. Had a nice gentleman come to go over our order and this lady didn’t even take half of our order. Maybe she should’ve just stayed in the back if she couldn’t handle it.

One of the worst experiences in food I’ve ever had.The waitress was straight rude and was very racist. On top of that I ordered a chicken dinner and got shrimp instead and I’m very allergic. Won’t not suggest anyone go there especially if you African American or any other race! I will be calling the BBB!
The lighting was so bright, I felt I was in a cafeteria, she be dimmed, especially in the evening. The noise was outrageous, especially since it was the employees causing it!

Great choice for a classic Hibachi experience. Less cramped than most places, the show is solid. Good deals on lunch.What they're lacking for me is just the finishing touch on the food - the meat is always good, but everything else needs higher heat and/or a harder sear. What I come to hibachi places for is usually the fried rice - that intense, almost-burnt flavor of wok-made or hard seared fried rice, and I never get more than a hint of that flavor. I'd also love a richer miso-based sauce but you can't go wrong with the classic yum-yum either.Wheelchair accessibility: Complete accessibility, everything but automatic doors.

We placed a large carryout order for our office and all ofthe food was great tasting, prepared and packed well, ready on top, and the staff was attentive at pickup. I have never had anything but a wonderful experience here!
First time and as soon as i tried to order my drink realized there would be problems. Non alcoholic drinks are not on the menu or priced, so i dont know how much i was charged for a 50 cent can of coke. Next u have food allergies, and nothing on the menu had any ingredients, first time i dont know server thinks i fluent in Japanese. Ended up with onion soup 1 bite salad, well done steak still bleeding and onoins in everything i am allegic to onoins so i paid 20 to sit uncomfortably for an hour and then not able to eat anything. Worst meal ever.
