"High-end sushi spot in South End with great vibes and solid food. Recently took a visit for my friend’s birthday. The restaurant's atmosphere exuded a high-end vibe, suitable for special occasions. We initially considered the omakase but opted for à la carte due to mixed reviews and a preference for more sushi-centric options. Our meal commenced with a complimentary cold porridge, an excellent amuse-bouche that set the tone. From the small plates, the Black Cod was a highlight, though it didn't quite reach the buttery heights that I experienced at Uni. The Rock Shrimp Tempura and Tartare Tower, despite their immaculate presentation, didn’t quite live up to their hefty price tags. The Salmon on Fire, with its dramatic 'flaming hot' presentation, was a letdown, offering little beyond regular salmon slices and barely noticeable fried shallots and raspberry gastrique. On the other hand, the B52 sushi roll was a pleasant surprise, and our selection of nigiri, including Botan Ebi, O-toro, and Hamachi, was generally of good quality. However, some pieces like Anago and Kin Medai were mediocre. We finished off the meal with their most popular Uni pasta. While it boasted a creamy and rich umami flavor, the absence of distinct Uni pieces was a letdown, especially given the dish's premium price. Overall, Oishii offers an experience suitable for special occasions with an ambiance to match. However, when it comes to the sushi's quality and overall execution, it falls short compared to other high-end sushi options in Boston. While some dishes were memorable, others were not compelling enough to make me return."
"We had the best, delicious Japanese food here and the service was top notch. Loved everything we ordered on the menu! Would highly recommend and will definitely visit this place again."
"I tried the Chicken Fried Rice, Wagyu Beef Maki, and Oyster Sushi at Oishii Boston. The service was prompt, and the staff was attentive, checking on me after each dish. I also really enjoyed the atmosphere with pretty decorations and dim dark lights making it a perfect place to have conversations with friends and family. My only gripe was the lack of a visible sign outside, making it a bit challenging to find initially. The price is little bit to the higher end but the flavors were delightful, prompting a desire to return for more culinary exploration. I do suggest this place to others. The 4 star cause there's always room for improvement with the dishes and the taste."
"I often come to the United States for business trips, but usually there is not much good food. However, this time is different. I particularly like their sushi because it tastes fresh and the sushi rice is very soft. The texture of the sashimi is soft and delicate. The decoration of the restaurant is full of elements of Japanese culture, and I recommend everyone to come."
"My wife and I chose this restaurant to celebrate our honeymoon, a momentous occasion for us, especially as avid restaurant-goers in the Boston area. Regrettably, our experience didn't quite match the specialness of the event. On the positive side, the food was decent. We indulged in some premium beef and sushi, which, while not extraordinary, held their ground in terms of taste and quality. The culinary experience, however, seemed somewhat subdued given the premium price point we were expecting something a bit more remarkable. My wife's drink was just okay, nothing that we would rave about. Unfortunately, our dining experience was marred slightly by the ambiance and service. We were seated downstairs, a notably dark space that made it challenging to fully appreciate our meal visually. Adding to the less-than-ideal setting was a noisy water fountain nearby, which somewhat hindered our conversation and didn't allow us to have a personal, intimate dining experience that we were looking forward to on our honeymoon. Furthermore, the service left something to be desired. Our waitress, although fulfilling her duties, seemed rushed and somewhat aloof. We missed that warm, welcoming attitude and personalized service that can turn a meal into an experience. Moreover, the lack of insightful recommendations for menu selections felt like a missed opportunity to elevate our dining experience. Overall, we would rate our experience at this restaurant as a 3-star visit. While the food was passable, the service and ambiance failed to meet our expectations for a restaurant at this price point, especially when compared to other establishments we frequent in the area. We had hoped for a more memorable and pleasant experience to commemorate our special occasion. We sincerely hope that our feedback will be taken as constructive criticism, with the aspiration that future patrons may enjoy a more enriched dining experience."
