    I had not been to this restaurant in several years. The decor has changed-very nice. The menu did have some of the previous items, in addition to some what I would describe as”pub-style” selections. I had the bourbon glazed sucking pig whic was probably the most delicious piece of pork I ever had. My friend enjoyed the halibut immensely. Our dessert, which we shared, was the S’mores item. It was a really different take on this classic. Absolutely delicious and a unique way of serving it in a small iron skillet. Our servers were delightful. Attentive without being intrusive. Very glad I returned to this restaurant. Will be back.

    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!
