Read More On Citysearch cfreyja 3/20/2010 - Best sushi in town!This place is amazing. Even with the restaurant packed in the middle of happy hour, we were seated within ten minutes of arrival. They have a huge menu, and everything we ordered was outstanding! Their hamachi is so fresh that it melts in your mouth like butter, and there are numerous vegetarian choices in addition to all the great seafood. Be sure to try the black mushroom roll and baked mu...

Read More On Citysearch ccwill 11/4/2009 - Oustanding!This place looks like a whole in the wall, but the sushi is GREAT!!!! I go at least once a week. Wait staff is very attentive, I've got my entire family loving this place
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 10/1/2009 - This is where my paycheck goes!!!this place is the best sushi. I go there at least every pay period sad but true. Food is always excellent and the service is freindly and very attentive. I found out about this place 3 years ago and have made all of my family and freinds sushi lovers because of this place. The only downfall would have to be its not close to sugarland. Maybe thats good so i won't eat here everyday. LOLZ
Read More On Citysearch jayzcc83 9/19/2009 - awesome happy hourI love this little sushi cafe. The atmosphere is relaxed and the servers are friendly. The happy hour is awesome. I think the large hot sake is $3 and the appetizers are buy one get one free. Couple those with some $1 sushi pieces and you have a full meal for ten bucks. There can be a wait if you get there around six, but it's totally worth it!
Read More On Citysearch daisychain 7/22/2009 - Not as good as the reviews said
Was very reluctant to try this place. My instincts were right. I ordered to go - the rice was burnt, the salad dressing horrible and the rolls tasted funny.
Read More On Citysearch YvonneB26 7/8/2009 - Love this placeI eat sushi pretty often and when I'm craving some, I default to Oiishi. I don't know of a better sushi joint for happy hour than Oiishi. Their $4, buy-one-get-one happy hour menu is pretty basic, but they make the food right. And the beer is amazingly cheap during happy hour. Aside from the happy hour, the all their other sushis are good too. I've gotten their combos pretty often and haven't bee...
Read More On Citysearch jqdinh 5/6/2009 - Awesome placeWe went on a friday night at 9 pm and had to wait about 30 min. The place was hopping and the space is limited. The food was excellent. The prices were amazing for the price
Read More On Citysearch CSMobileUser 3/19/2009 - Great sushi for the price!!Everything is great! The prices, the sushi cuts, service, and beer! The sushi cuts are thick and fresh! The only negative is the parking. They also have a great lunch menu! HIGHLY recommended!!!
Read More On Citysearch Max2006 1/4/2009 - Best Hole in the Wall Cheap Sushi RestaurantSeriously it doesn't get better than this. I hate to give away great hole in the wall but I feel like I owe it to Oishii. The restaurant is tiny but if you look past it, happy hour (with buy one get one free appetizers including some sushi rolls) it totally worth it. My recommendation is the Gyoza which are the pan fried pork dumplings. They're not your traditional frozen potstickers out of a pag...
Read More On Citysearch supervy 12/11/2008 - Stellar SushiI live about a block from this place and I go there probably twice a week. I have seen other reviews mention the word "posh" and I have to say, if you are looking for a "posh" place, please do not go to Oishii. There are a couple of reasons for that: 1) Oishii is more concerned with how the food tastes and less with how the restaurant looks (A few comments down you'll see a post about bland foo...
Read More On Citysearch miguelUT 11/20/2008 - THE ABSOLUTE BESTI have been a fan of Oishii for a few years. Service is fast and professional. Rolls are fantastic and have great flavor. I have eaten at many other sushi restaurants in Houston and I always go back to Oishii. Nothing can compare!

Read More On Citysearch Yuujirou 8/13/2008 - Best Sushi In HoustonOishii is my favorite and a steal when I'm able to get there during "happy hour". I like going to Oiishi better then Ra or Azuma (both are pretty good). The only downside to Oishii is the decor and the parking, but the sushi is definitely worth it!
Read More On Citysearch daniellenj 8/13/2008 - Great pricesI love going to Oishii for sushi. it is inexpensive, and the quality isn't bad either. Standard rolls like a salmon or yellowtail roll will run you about $3. My only complaint is that their roll options are a bit odd, especially the customer rolls. I think they are a bit overpriced as well. Fortunately, I like the standard rolls.
Parking at Oishii is scarce. There are only a few spots in...
Read More On Citysearch longhornlady 7/1/2008 - Great food, Great prices, Slow service - Still worth itI've been going to Oishi for a little over 2 years now. A friend took me there for happy hour, and another for happy hour, and then my boyfriend wanted to try it out all in two weeks. The food is phenomenal! The prices are unbeatable. However, service is terribly slow. I mean terribly slow. They're short staffed so the service pace is expected, but being as busy as they are (and it keeps in...
Read More On Citysearch amf1982 6/7/2008 - Great Happy Hour and Customer serviceYes, Oishii is small with little parking but inside Oishii has a wonderful atmosphere. It's very homey and the servers are very attentative to all its customers. I've been going to Oishii for about 4+ years now and it has always been the same. The sushi has never disappointed me. My friends and I would go on every friday for happy hour which is the best price that no one can beat for its sushi...

I went there not too long ago. The parking lot isnt big, and the place is small. First, I ordered appetizer, it tasted alright but oily. Then for my entree, I ordered a chicken teriyaki, the chicken was so dry, I barely touched it and didnt pack it to go. I have ordered some sushi, it was ok, wasnt that fresh.
Read More On Citysearch Isabella13 5/7/2008 - Oishii SushiNot the best sushi I've ever had. The sushi is about regular sushi prices, but they don't give you much fish in it - they pack it with alot of rice. The restaurant isn't really that nice either. I would say there are much better sushi restaurants in Houston than this one.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 4/23/2008 - So-SoI read the reviews. Got to say most are pretty accurate. The place is not really "posh" on the inside, but the food and the service was really good. The lunch menu leaves something to be desired by those of us who do not know the Japanese names for all the different types of food. A English discription is always nice. But the waitress was really nice and helpful. She asked what I like and s...
Read More On Citysearch ms_liz_ms 12/11/2007 - Fast Good LunchFast service. Good sushi. I don't know where all the whiners are coming from on their review of Osihii??? The establishment does lack decor but makes up for it 10 times over for it's service and food. Not to mention a great sushi lunch for less than 9 bucks! You can't go wrong for lunch at this place if you like sushi and good service.
Read More On Citysearch dirtycurty 10/19/2007 - bland foodI use to pass this place everyday and was curious to try it. So me and my friend decided to eat here. It took us forever to order. my friend literally had to go excuse me we're ready. so we placed our order. i got my spider handroll and bit to it it was cold! the softshell crab wasnt even warm......it wasnt room temp but it was cold. so i put it to the side and tried the app. the banana app is so...

Read More On Citysearch tokainyc 6/21/2007 - This best Sushi joint in Houston!Look Sushi is good! I eat it once a week! We even make it at home! I have been to every Sushi Place around the downtown area included the expensive places and nothing compares to Oishii!
Make sure you get there early as the word is getting out! I have been going here for the last 3 years!
The waitstaff is friendly, fast and attentive! Customer Service is dead in this country almost ever...
Read More On Citysearch bartend77 6/12/2007 - Best sushi...I think not..So a few people I work with told me they really like this place and to give it a try. I did and I have to say that I won't be going back. The sushi tasted like the fish was old and the rolls were boring. I think I'll stick with the sushi restaurant on the other side of kirby (BFH).
I tried the rolls even named by for the customers and they were ok but not great.
It's just a boring men...
Read More On Citysearch blancepain 5/15/2007 - Best Sushi... and Price!Ok, I'm risking making one of my "easy-to-get-into, incredible-quality, keep-it-hush" sushi restaurants more popular. BUT, I won't hold back on this one. Great sushi and great price - each time I go I can't get over the quality/price ratio. Go for lunch and be blown away at the specials.
If you have a date to impress, decor or no decor, she might actually appreciate the fact that you've let...
Read More On Citysearch dans_texasrealtor 4/21/2007 - Fresh Sushi and Best Service!Def a place you gotta try. Prices are already very competitive and the happy hour prices make me even happier! Fresh sushi - you got to try the VOLCANO ROLL, I highly recommend it. Everything is made with care and a smile. The seating is prompt and the waitstaff is attentive and very sweet and friendly. Not the best place for a first date, but the perfect place for a 5th and so on date when ...
Read More On Citysearch g1nahis 4/19/2007 - Best sushi in town, cheap but great! But acoustics could be betterI've been going to Oishii for about 6 years (the owner knows my name) and it has consistantly been great sushi! The fish is always fresh and tasty and the rice is always packed well, not too tight or too loose. The lower prices make it my favorite place. And the $1 pieces make it even better!
I always take friends to try "my place" for some place new. And they always love it. I went last night ...
Read More On Citysearch misskeetty 1/14/2007 - The secret is outI love Oishii. I have been going here for about 2 years now and have never posted. But ok, this place is no longer a well-kept secret. The fish is fresh and always tasty. The service is always friendly and comfortable. It's a hole-in-the-wall and the prices match; which is awesome! I could go on forever and ever. Order the sashimi; order specialty rolls; the miso soup is pretty hearty; dessert ic...
Read More On Citysearch coog78 1/12/2007 - Great sushi on a budget!Oishii is just around the corner from my place and I finally tried it. We loved it! Great sushi for a really great price. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, not loud and flashy like some of the sushi places nearby. Definitely try the Volcano and Pink Lady rolls. The tempura shrimp was yummy too. Happy hour is awesome so go early. Cute place to hang out with friends and enjoy the food an...
Read More On Citysearch brinkcd 12/4/2006 - best hole-in-the-wall sushi on richmondthis quaint hole-in-the-wall sushi restaurant did not impress me upon initial impression. in my opinion, it looked like any other sushi place on bellaire, but since it was located on richmond, it did, however, add an eclecticness to a generally trendy street of upper-end food chains. the food is decent ... i've had better quality elsewhere. i was a bit disappointed with the unagi rolls (small ...
Read More On Citysearch missorenishii 11/19/2006 - Shhhhh, don't tell everyone!What a great place for quality, and cheap Sushi!
Small restaurant and parking is sometimes a challenge, but the food more than makes up for it!
Remember, keep it under your hat before all of the RA wannabes come over and ruin it!
Read More On Citysearch texmex1 9/21/2006 - I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!WE GO HERE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK! this place is small, but has great service and wonderful sushi. the only thing i wish was different is for the restaurant to be bigger. waiting for a table is horrible, you stand and watch others eat and parking is just as bad. but if you don't care but only want SUSHI then this is the place.
Read More On Citysearch bumsay 2/13/2006 - just greatwant an excellent value for sushi right in the middle of town? this is your place. parking a problem so try to go at times not considered to be rush (lunch, drive-time)
Read More On Citysearch willdownload 12/30/2005 - AddictiveI love this place. Great prices, wonderful sushi, good service. And now they have wireless?!?! I love their food so much, I'll call it in and pick it up, even though there are dozens of sushi places much closer to where I live.
Read More On Citysearch dancerninja 12/4/2005 - User review by g16good value for your money...regular hang-out place for the younger crowd...the decor, chairs and tables are very simple and not much to look at, but hey, you go there for the good but inexpensive food and not the ambience

Read More On Citysearch lilorchid 6/10/2005 - Sushi without the hype!You cannot beat this place for sushi. The best value out there and the service is top notch. We have never been disappointed. Everything is so inexpensive, and happy hour (food and beer) is almost unbelieveably so! It is a great place if you're wanting sushi without the fancy/uptight atmosphere!
Read More On Citysearch jamioday 5/17/2005 - Small but BIG on satisfaction!Have visited for lunch and dinner. Both were exceptional. For a lunch spot, you can't beat the prices or the specials value. In and out in under an hour is a definite plus. Happy Hour is a must. Reduced prices on Sake and Beer. Also, buy 1 get one free appetizers. It's simple decor makes for a great meeting place. The service was thorough, prompt and polite. Make sure you read daily speci...
Read More On Citysearch tripled3 5/12/2005 - Best SashimiI cannot say enough about this place! The service is wonderful and so is the sashimi. The rolls need a little work, but the prices make up for it. Sashimi pieces are only $1-1.50, you really can't beat that. The place is family owned, so there's a warm cozy atmosphere. Give it a try!
Read More On Citysearch tootx 4/14/2005 - Great service, great price, and AWESOME sushi!My family and I eat at Oishii about 3 or 4 times a month. The employees are personable and friendly and the sushi tastes wonderful. Oishii is our favorite sushi restuarant! We highly recommend this place to any sushi lover.
Read More On Citysearch babymei9 3/14/2005 - light on your walletgood sushi, decent service, nothing fancy, just very cheap. (as far as sushi is concerned) you can't be $1.00 escolar. in fact, most of their sushis are $1.00 a piece. no need for happy hour.
Read More On Citysearch t12ubeauty 2/21/2005 - Great food at a great priceGood food and not expense especially during the lunch hours. I highly recommend this resturant to anyone who likes sushi.
