    Last night, my lady and I had one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional—especially from our waiter, Danielle, who went above and beyond to make our evening unforgettable. The food was beyond delicious, easily ranking among the best meals we’ve ever enjoyed. What truly blew me away was the thoughtful surprise from Danielle: champagne glasses to celebrate our anniversary. That personal touch made the night even more special. Honestly, this was one of the most memorable experiences we’ve ever had at a restaurant, and we’ll definitely be coming back.

    Had an amazing dinner with Girls Night Out, there were 7 of us. Wonderful service, food was great, but I have to put this here: The French Onion Soup was to die for, the best I have ever had.

    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!
