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.

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.

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.

Expensive but very delicious, and the service was great. The rolls were a lot bigger than I was expecting!

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.

Some of the best sushi in Boston! Great service, and we've never had something we didn't like. Sitting at the sushi bar highly recommended, since you might get to chat with the chefs, and you can see how they make your sushi.

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.
Great place. Love the private room and service. Head chef is the best.

This restaurant is stunning with a beautiful ambiance. The service is almost perfect and so kind! However, the food is nothing special. The sashimi is the only thing that stood out to me as worth the price they charge. The raw fish bar is the best way to get a lot for your money. The specialty rolls are just average. If I went back, which I do NOT plan on doing so, I will only be eating and purchasing from the raw fish sashimi list. Drinks are also delicious!

Amazing food and cocktails. We were 2 couples last night and had so much maki rolls and all were delicious. For drinks we asked for custom made cocktails that are spicy and they made amazing drinks.
