A warm atmosphere along with impeccable service and family recipes make for an unparalleled dining experience. We begin with the freshest ingredients of the highest quality all prepared to order using family recipes passed down from generation to generation. The astronomic experience begins with the hospitality from the moment you walk through the iron forged doors. Next is the food where the love is present in each dish. The house made pasta to the freshest seafood to the dry aged steaks and our unique desserts made daily by our pastry chef make our uniqueness discernible.

Vito, our waiter was great. The food was excellent and the portions were great. The Martinis were outstanding It was crowded, so a bit noisy for an early evening, but I guess with the holiday season on a Saturday night it happens

We had the pleasure of being served by Erica who couldn’t have been a better server. Her knowledge, attentiveness and caring for our experience was second to none. The food was delicious from the Tartar to the Halibut and the baked clams to the peppermint chocolate cake, there was not a morsel left on any of our plates. Thank you Erica!!

You absolutely won’t regret dining at Oishii Sushi! The fish is incredibly fresh, and the sushi is both delicious and beautifully presented. The service is top-notch, making the experience even better. We’ll definitely return and make this our go-to spot for both dining in and takeout. Highly recommended!
