I think the thing people have to realize is best for takeout because the wait is long, but if you do wait the rolls are out of this world. I love sushi, but this is one place where I only order a few sushi...

The sushi is unreal!!! The only place I had better was at a fish market in Tokyo (Tsukiji) and that fish had just come out of the water - literally! The place is tiny and often there is a really long wait. Get...

Having read great reviews about Oishii, I was really excited to try it out and, alas, was bitterly disappointed by both the service and the food. The sushi is mediocre at best. It does not even come close to...

I came to this place lured by high Zagats ratings. First, I had to wait for 2(!!!) hours. I cant think of any food worth this kind of wait and it turned out Oishii is not the one. Place is tiny and if you're...

Food is decent, but not when you have to wait a LONG time to sit down, only to be rushed out as fast as could be. i have been there a few times and have had the check dropped for us well before we have gotten...

I married a Japanese woman and I have been to Japan many times. Of course only in Japan is the very best sushi but we are not in Japan so if you want the very best sushi this side of Japan then there is only...

I've had a lot of sushi in my day and this was, without a doubt, the best sushi I've ever eaten. The selection, quality and taste were all unmatched. Try the seared tuna roll or the scallop (Jeffrey's) special...

If you have time to wait for 2 hours and sit down in one of its 15 seats and eat, then they will serve you great fish, best in Boston, and that's saying a lot since I've been to and frequented Ginza, Fugakyu,...

As a food lover, I was delighted to find such a jem in Boston!! If you love sushi, this is the place to try. Not many sushi restaruants in Boston come close to Oishii. "Legal" fresh seafood, amazing...

It's a shame this restaurant doesn't fit more customers because it serves the best sushi I've ever had (better than New York)! They use unique ingredients for their rolls such as white seaweed, and their...

This is the best sushi we've had in Boston. The quality is excellent and the value is very good. I would strongly recommend just doing the take out. Unless you're there by yourself it would probably take too...

Amazing sushi, but you pay for it. Definitely worth treating yourself too. Try the takeout, since seating can be an issue there. But if you do sit down it's definitely an experience!

There can be no comparison in freshness, taste, and inventiveness of Oishii Sushi. No other sushi restaurant including Fugakyu, Oga, Ginza, etc. can compare. Only Fugakyu and Tsunami have some interesting...

No doubt, this place has the freshest, most well prepared, best tasting Sushi in Boston. Other places can sometimes come close, but Oishii is so consistently good it leaves its competitors fighting for a...

This is hands down the best sushi in Boston, probably in New England. The freshest maguro, toro and hamachi around, and Tony and the rest of the chefs cut off generous portions with great knife skills and a...

If you desire sushi dining experience that is as authentic as the ones you find in Japan, then Oishii is the place to be.

Yes, this is no Nobu and Boston is WAY behind in terms of sushi, but Oishii stands out as THE BEST in Boston. It is the only sushi place that I get really ecxited about, and the only one that can pull off...

Oishii and Fugakyu are definitely the top 2 sushi rest. in boston or around. The only problem with this one is it is so tiny. Not good for groups at all.

The salmon roll is to die for - I've never had fresher better tasting salmon. All of the sushi is out of this world leaps and bounds over other places in Boston. Worth the extra $.

Best kept secret in Boston - go here for the best rolled sushi! Nobu-style rolls (interesting combinations), innovative appetizers. Fish is fairly good, but the specialty of the house is definitely the rolls...

Oishi is the best in Boston. Very consistent. Variety of sushi is served and can be customized to your own liking. Seats are very limited.

Simply the best sushi available north of NYC. Rivals Nobu or Morimoto as far as quality of food -- the sushi is AMAZING. Try "the Maki". It's tiny (12 seats total) and busy; try to go at an off time or get...
