Our Guestbook
“ So I've eaten here once myself. My partner likes to stop here for food while driving to Indiana. The first time we stopped for her was on Valentine's Day. We ordered 30 minutes in advance before arriving. She ended up waiting inside an additional 30 minutes for her food. No biggie, it was Valentine's Day and of course restaurants are getting slammed. We called and placed an order 20 minutes in advance, was assured by staff it would be ready by the time we get there. Well, it wasn't and she ended up waiting an additional 15 minutes in the store for her food. Annoying would be an understatement. I don't know if DoorDash and all of those other delivery apps get priority service or what, but it sucks and she'll be picking another place for our future trips. ”
“ My husband had the Steak Poke Bowl, which was full of tender, juicy beef. I had the Godzilla roll and it was absolutely delicious. We’ll be back for more, that’s for sure! ”
“ Absolutely fantastic experience. You won’t be disappointed with the bento box or the sushi. Our kids absolutely loved the place, and the owner’s 4 year old daughter even came by to chat it up with us. Such a nice little place. We will be back again! ”
“ I frequent here, whether with friends, family, or just on my own. The food is delicious and the quality is always consistent, always made to order. I especially like their calamari appetizer and hibachi with steak and shrimp with quality meat. The sushi is very good and my daughter loves it along with their bento box and calamari. Also try their Japanese sodas, their good along with the many drink options. What adds the cherry on top is the customer service and friendliness, Mindy is always wonderful and smiling everytime. The atmosphere is very pleasant. ”
“ Food is delicious, service is great! I got the crab cream cheese roll and also out of curiosity the honey roasted peanut avocado roll which sounds weird but was good. Only mild downside is that the music they play is kinda lame (covers of pop songs) but that certainly didn't ruin the experience ”
“ Hidden Gem: Oishi Japanese Grill Oishi Japanese Grill is the definition of a hidden gem! This small, hole-in-the-wall restaurant absolutely exceeded our expectations. The service was incredibly fast, with our food arriving fresh and perfectly cooked in no time. The food itself? Phenomenal. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the menu offered a great variety of delicious options. Despite the high quality, the prices were surprisingly affordable—amazing value for the incredible meal we enjoyed! Oishi may be a small place, but it delivers big on taste, service, and overall experience. If you're in the mood for fantastic food without breaking the bank, this spot is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back for more! ”
“ My absolute new FAVORITE sushi place!! We had Crazy Spicy; Bang Bang and Superman rolls and they were fantastic! One of the noticeable differences in this sushi restaurant is there a lot less sushi rice and a lot more of the yummy stuff! Based on other reviews, we can't wait to try the hibachi! ”
“ Everything I’ve eaten is wonderful. My favorite is the Bento Box. I bet if you try this place once you will be a repeat customer!! Added: 9/23 I come here almost every week and mentioned to the chef that I remember curry from when I lived in Japan as a child! This isn’t on the menu, but he made it for me today. Incredibly beautiful and just as delicious! Almost made me cry, bringing me back to Japan with my grandfather. Added: 2023 This review was short and sweet, but I could go on and on about them!!! I have a weekly appointment down the street and I make sure to make it during lunch so I can enjoy their delicious food. My great niece and nephew (7 and 11 years old) LOVE sushi. They can’t wait to come visit again because of Oishi!! She didn’t want tuna in her roll so he added additional salmon and she LOVED it!! Trust me, you will not just enjoy your first time, but every one after that!!! ”
