Oishii Restaurant

I have eaten a lot of sushi all over the country snd this restaurant puts out some spectacular food. High quality, super fresh and great portions. Their happy hour specials are ridiculously impressive, so much that there is usually a 1/2 hour wait. So get there early This is not a high-end looking restaurant but who cares with the deliciousness they serve. Highly recommend

Oishi means yummy/delicious in Japanese. They have wide range of choices, also happy hour provides decent option too. The food came out quickly, the restaurant was crowded around 2ish pm but still manage to get a table for two. I ordered Caterpillar and Hamachi hand roll, I dont like sushi rice from here, everything else was fine. Miso soup was tasty and I do like it was not salty at all. The price is reasonable.

This place is HANDS DOWN the BEST sushi place in Texas, I’ll put my money on it. The quality of the sushi is noticeably better than any sushi restaurant you’ll go to. We honestly only go to Oishii now for sushi but every now and then we will go to another sushi spot and can now taste the quality difference, Oishii is top notch. Oishii is about 45 mins away from where we live but we always gladly make the drive, and yes there can be a wait if you don’t have a reservation but hey we GLADLY WILL WAIT. It’s just that damn good. Also, although we are regulars, I know we don’t come in as often as most, maybe once a month last year and maybe a hand full of times this year (we would go more often again if we could) but the staff here always remembers us and knows what sake we always get etc. the owner even remembers us. The whole crew is extremely friendly and personable. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better experience at any other restaurant in my life.

Great food for an affordable price. Had to wait about 15 minutes to get a table as the restaurant gets very busy. Service could have been better. Definitely recommend this place for Sushi. People who look for cooked or fried options in sushi definitely go for the “Sumo Maki”. It was the best item we tried.

We love to come here during happy hour. Sushi is fresh and at a good price. We enjoyed the iced green tea, eel roll, spicy salmon and spicy tuna roll. We've also tried one of their sashimi/roll specials that was also very good. Definitely one of my favorite sushi places in Houston. Parking is my only issue with this place as it is very limited and you have to be careful while backing out of the parking lot.

Great affordable sushi restaurant that offers a diner feel. We came just before happy hour ended and took advantage of it. The deal was buy one get one for free for some appetizers. We ordered egg rolls, fried squid, and salmon roll and tuna roll. The rolls from appetizer section was not our favorite. But oiishi rolls were delicious, the hand roll was also fantastic. Also enjoyed their potato croquette immensely! The Joseph roll was lacking flavors though. Unbeatable price for the food we got! The parking can be tricky but there’s a parking lot next to the restaurant which we missed the first time. Be ware the wait too, as there’s usually a wait of ~20 mins at least and they don’t take reservations. Good service and we enjoyed the bustling diner vibe.

Oishii is a solid Houston staple for Japanese fare at a great price. Their entrees come with large portion sizes. I’d recommend trying their affordable specials e.g., we ordered the Special A: 2 piece Salmon, 2 piece Tuna, 2 piece Escolar, and a Crunch Roll with Miso Soup for only $12.95. Note: Oishii is extremely popular and the wait times can be long (30-45 minutes).
