I can't say enough good things about Oba Sushi. The ambiance was immaculate - from the art and decor to the music. We ordered the tuna nachos and four rolls, three special and one classic. All were incredibly fresh and absolutely outstanding. read more

Downtown Erie sushi restaurant serving up acceptable basic sushi. This tiny establishment does a good job on presentation and seemingly serves up adequate cuts of sushi. No thrills here of different tuna cuts or other fishes outside the normal few here. Don't get me wrong, this place is appreciated and a nice addition to the downtown Erie scene. read more

Amazing sushi spot on State St! I've returned to this restaurant just about three times in the past week as their hamachi jalepeno and summer night roll are soo tasty. I tried some other rolls to-go but they don't compare. The service is very nice in returning to the table. It's a very cute atmosphere on the inside with some clean seating. There's funky music playing that really adds to a bright and positive vibe! read more

This tiny sushi spot is worth checking out if you are in Erie downtown area. Oba offers variety of creative sushi dishes that feature fresh ingredients. Tried their special sushi roll with salmon sashimi, it was delicious. They offer dine-in, takeout and delivery. There are about 20 seatings so there might be a wait if you come in during lunch or dinner rush. The place is newly renovated and clean. The staffs are nice and friendly Definitely recommend this place read more

Best sushi in Erie! The presentation is beautiful, the signature rolls are creative, and everything tastes incredibly fresh. Service was quick and attentive, and the food came out at a good pace -- truly not much more you can ask for. I'm really excited to have a spot like this in Erie. We ordered a variety of rolls and ended up debating which one was the best. The Salmon Avocado and the Oba Special ultimately came out on top -- super fresh, flavorful, and really well done. We also tried the Salmon Crunch and the Tuna Crunch, which were both solid choices and definitely worth ordering. Also tried their mochi for dessert, and that was a hit too -- a nice way to end the meal. Overall, such a great addition to the Erie food scene. I'll definitely be back! read more

We were craving sushi and earlier I saw a post about Oba Sushi opening in the old Andora bubble tea space. The space: adorably decorated with lots of wall art and banners with Japanese art and food! It's super clean, intimate, and casual. The service: The couple behind the counter are incredibly sweet The appetizers: we had the salmon aburi, which was so fresh and well dressed with some sort of ponzu dressing. It was tangy, fatty from the salmon, and perfectly umami. The miso soup was so miso forward, cloudy (just how you want it), and not some watered down miso soup. Truly very well done. The entrees: I had a spicy salmon roll and a salmon crunch roll. My partner got the sashimi platter. I was blown away by the salmon crunch roll. It was filled with fresh salmon, avocado, and cucumber and rolled in tempura flakes and drizzled with spicy mayo. The spicy salmon roll was actually different than what I was expecting (ground up salmon with a little bit of crunch). It was actually salmon and avocado with a spicy sauce drizzled on top--and I wasn't even mad about it. It had a nice kick that warmed up my tongue after I was done. My fiancée loved his sashimi plate. He said it was fresh, clean fish that was well cut. Both of our plates, as you can see, were just so beautifully presented. We legitimately said "WOW" when they came out. 5/5 i have NO notes. In TLDR: we are so lucky to have a new sushi joint that we will be frequently. I don't think it will continue being quiet. As much as I want to gatekeep this place for myself, they deserve all the business they get. Truly and very happy to have Oba here. read more

Oba has the best sushi in Erie. Great portion sizes. Fish is very fresh. Highly recommend!

Food is good, service not bad, just one waiter but it's okay because restaurants isn't big just 6 tables

Like Sushi? Run, don't walk, don't look back. Were eager to try it out. Good location. Small, modern looking restaurant. Thought it would be cozy and good. Server was prompt and courteous. Excellent. Gyoza were 'best i ever had' according to one of us. So, they did that well. Miso was fine. Got the Sushi platter. It was nicely presented. Tekka rolls on platter were decent. Nothing to write home about. However....the nigiri sushi? All of the fish pieces were WARM. I don't mean 'not cold'. I mean, they felt warm in your mouth. I understand it was late and we were the only folks in there, but that's not a reason to serve warm sushi. Needless to say, would never go back. NOT recommended in the least. read more
