Oishii Boston

Great experience .. way too expensive. Decor is outdated.

Wonderful selection of dishes, very fresh and tasty sushi, would recommend for a fancy night out

Quite a steep price for basic sushi. Sure it wasn’t out of a supermarket fridge, but one $30 maki is pretty laughable. For someone who has no other choice, delicious for sure. Maybe the wagyu and rare items are great when served in a fancy way, but there are heaps of nice sushi restaurants around Boston equal in taste.

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.
