This is my favorite sushi restaurant in and near Virginia Beach. We originally were on the search for a sushi restaurant with uni (sea urchin) and came across Oishi off of Battlefield Blvd in Chesapeake. We quickly came to find that we have loved ever single item we've ever eaten here. All items are fresh, and the staff is willing to contact us when uni is available. As regulars, they've made us a really special shot of uni and sake to try and it was absolutely amazing. The staff is kind and attentive, and the chefs take so much care in our food. Soup comes out hot and full of flavor, sushi picture-perfect, drinks crisp. I really love eating here and would love to share it with other sushi-lovers in Virginia. read more

First time here and i honestly meant to go to another place but clicked on the wrong place on the app lol. The place was empty but we ate early because of the kiddos so it works for use. We got the chicken fried rice without the pineapples for the kiddos and it was ok not a lot of flavor. The fried rice did not taste Japanese at all. We got the chicken yakitori and it was also bland and nothing yakitori about it. It was chicken thighs on a skewer with veggies. For sushi we got the rainbow roll and two other roll can't remember the names. Also had the salmon sashimi. The portion sizes were great but the flavor and quality was lacking. Largest sashimi pieces I've seen in the 10 years, no one offers sizes like these anymore with shinkflation. The service was good, one server but they have 6-7 tables so not problem. All in all a good visit. read more

Everything was absolutely delicious! We ordered the chicken katsu lunch, volcano roll lunch, tuna tataki, and gyoza, and everything came out amazing. The lunch portions were just right--filling without being too much. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. We enjoyed every bite and will definitely be returning soon and ordering these again! Highly recommend! read more

First time here. My granddaughter wanted sushi for her birthday. I can't wait to go back. As a bariatric patient I eat very small portions so I was more than stuffed with the peppered tuna steak appetizer. I also got the kimchi seafood soup which i absolutely loved. I brought the majority of it home and just had it for lunch. The fam ordered gyoza dumplings, shrimp tempura, squid salad, a spicy girl roll, and a roll with OMG in the name. They also gave us a free volcano roll. Their plates were cleaned and no crumbs left. The service was very friendly and attentive. It's very clean inside. I can't believe I have never stopped in here before. I will def be back. Especially for the kimchi seafood soup. read more

The customer service is great the food is also great. The ambiance is great. Good for either a date night or a family dinner. The miso soup is very tasty read more

Oishi was a great place to grab lunch! They had a wide variety of lunch specials at an affordable price, which made it the perfect spot for a lunch date with my boyfriend. I really enjoyed my Pork Katsu Box. It included Half California Roll, House Salad, Miso Soup, and Vegetable Spring Roll in addition to the Katsu. Took off a star because there was a bug in our soy sauce and the smell had a slightly stronger fishy smell than other sushi restaurants, but overall the food and service was great :) read more

This is one of my favorite Sushi restaurants in the area. Their prices are reasonable for what is offered and the food is consistently good. They use all of the major food delivery services but I like to eat there, I find it much more personable to dine in. We like to get the sashimi combo that offers a great selection of different sashimi, with everything from Tuna, Salmon and Yellowtail. It's certainly enough to share. Check out Oishi Sushi, you'll be happy that you did and you can rest assured that you are supporting our local restaurant community. read more

I'd say I'd give 4 stars for creativity. But the execution was so so. First time for me to see tempura shrimp with asparagus, mango and then wrapped in soy bean wrap. I had a different idea of how the soy bean wrap would look like since I am familiar with the tofu skin used in Chinese cooking, I thought it would be similar! The soy bean wrap is more pinkish and really doesn't have a distinct taste. This sushi was called Tokyo Love. While the soy bean wrap didn't really do much to enhance the taste, the other ingredients were fresh and good. I came here on a recommendation from a friend I met up for dinner. Service is good. The waitress seems to know my friend as repeat customer. There was only one waitress but she seemed to keep up with taking orders. The ambiance is okay, place didn't have much lighting, not a lot of decor. read more

Stopped by for lunch today as we were in the area for an appointment-thank you yelpers for the recommendation! Normally my go-to for first time visit is a chirashi, but with Oishi's lunch specials, 3 rolls were such a better deal that I couldn't resist. Miso soup provided to start and was very pleasantly surprised by depth of flavor. All too often the 'free' soup tastes like troubled water, but this was very nice! Then we each picked our rolls (a limited selection for the lunch special - many more are available). I had spicy tuna, spicy salmon and eel & avocado; wife had california, avocado and shrimp tempura rolls. We were both stuffed when done; texture was great (additional seeds added to outside rice on roll to provide a little crunch. As a pleasant touch, bill was accompanied by two Ferrero Rocher chocolates! Definitely will return! read more

Fantastic sushi place especially for lunch as we each got three rolls. I got the healthier options of avocado with cucumber, tempura shrimp, and a California roll vs. hubby who was more brave than me opting for the eel, tuna and salmon. We were really impressed by how fully stuffed these rolls were for lunch specials as usually specials are not so generous so we were both happy. Moreover the miso soup was really delicious, full of genuine miso flavor and not the instant miso soup you can make for yourself at home or the diluted miso soup you typically get at other Japanese restaurants. Surprisingly full of flavor as well as nori and tofu bits. We rolled ourselves out of there but we know we will be back. read more

This sushi place is next level compared to other sushi places near the area. They offer higher end selections such as Uni, ikura with quail eggs and amaebi. The prices are also very reasonable and not much more than other sushi places. Would definitely recommend them for take out. Will have to visit the restaurant setting. read more

I've been eating here for many years. The food and service have consistently been superb

Great spot to grab sushi on the weekends. The customer service is always welcoming and service with a smile.

Sheldon is a great addition to the restaurant. I was seated by Sheldon a few days ago and he was extremely kind handsome and he had so much rizz. The restaurant is very cozy and comfortable. I like this restaurant so much. I ordered salmon and it was so oishi desu! read more

One of my husband's favorite sushi places. The owner is often the waitress that serves you. Decor is simple but a little worn and torn. Other than that, their sushi is on point and never disappointing. Our favorites is the salmon crab roll appetizer. I've gotten the maki combo, their (super) spicy tuna and avocado salad as well as their Sashimi. All of these I would go back again in a heartbeat! The sushi chef use to draw cute little drawings of your plate of sushi but I haven't see this in more recent visits! I say let's bring this back read more

Stopped in for dinner and was not disappointed in any way. The Kimchi fried rice is deliciously unique. The red snapper sashimi was perfect and melts in your mouth. The crazy tuna and spicy city rolls were incredible. The spicy city roll is a new favorite. Thanks for the wonderful service, I will be back! read more

My second visit. I came during the "lunch rush" in hopes of a fresher experience. Unfortunately, this was more like "moms leftover" sushi. Not freshly made, my (cooked) rolls were mostly cold. One was warm. I have to leave a negative review so I don't forget and come back. The high ratings are really confusing. Two teaspoons of fish and some rice. I paid almost $50 for this, and fed it to the geese. read more

Quick friendly service. I like going to sushi spots where it's quiet and actually have cute wall decor. The lunch menu is a great price. I'll be trying the kimchi fried rice next time. read more

Very nice and quaint place. I went for lunch last week and enjoyed the food and service. The sushi was very good and my waitress brought my order to me quickly. She was very friendly and checked in on me in a timely manor. I got a lunch special Yakisoba with shrimp. They were NOT stingy on the shrimp. I had at least 6 pieces and they had to be x large or colossal sized at least. My roll was delicious and tasted fresh. The glass of peach Saki she recommended was yummy! I had never had it before. I will definitely be going back. read more

I've been a regular here since they reopened this year. I've tried different items on their menu and they never disappoint! My most favorites are the Spicy Girl roll, Volcano roll and the Godzilla roll. I love their miso soup and salads too especially the house salad, dressing just tastes delicious! And they are very generous withe the serving size also. Staff are very friendly and price is reasonable. read more

I've always enjoyed this low key restaurant. I've been going here for years and it's been the same waitress, so she knows the menu inside out and knows how to describe the sushi dishes and entrees. With that said, it's only 1 waitress and 1 sushi chef. Fortunately, tonight it was was 1 other table in the restaurant along with ours. I've been other times and it took an hr to get our food. I've learned to go on which dates and time wisely. Food is always good and fresh. Nice healthy portions. Chicken teriyaki is chicken breast topped with a bed of broccoli. I liked the fact the meat isn't floating in the teriyaki sauce. Volcano roll was also good. Their take on it was California rolls topped with a crab/fish meat concoction. It was yummy! Have you heard of crab rangoon from the Chinese restaurant? Well they have their own spin and make a salmon rangoon with an avocado jalapeño sauce! It was good!! Overall one of my favorite sushi restaurant! read more

We just picked a random sushi spot for the night. This place is kinda in a random area, it's pretty small but nice and quiet. Decided to try the special for the day, Salmon Rangoon which was amazing! I highly recommend trying to ask for it!!! Ordered a bunch of special rolls. They have a great selection with seafoods in their sushi rolls, like REAL crab meat, oysters, and lobster! Of course my favorite was the Lobster Tempera Roll. They literally deep fry and roll up an entire lobster tail! We also got the Tiger roll and Volcano roll. The Volcano roll is a little different than the typical ones I've seen. It's has a mixture of all kinds of fish mixed in a special sauce that's then baked ontop of the entire roll. That's also a must! If you're a big wasabi person, this place makes their own wasabi! And if you ask for "Real Wasabi" they will give you a really strong mix. A little bit knocked the wind out of me. For dessert we stuffed down fried icecream! They also have fried cheesecake which I'd love to try on my next visit. I definitely wish to come back and try more rolls. The server we had was very knowledgeable about all the foods and have us great recommendations. I can't wait to try it again! read more

Food was a lot and delicious. I will definitely eat there again. I would highly recommend.

This is one of my favorite intimate spots. Good prices, and it's always quiet. My favorite dish is the shrimp yakisoba. It's flavorful and a good portion. Everything that we have tried has been good. Sushi is good. Fried ice cream was also good. Just a heads up, the drinks are can drinks, which I actually prefer over shared cups. The staff are also friendly. read more

Let me tell you about Oishi Sushi. The food is not the only thing that's amazing there but also the workers. I've been working at the nail shop in the same shopping center where Oishi Sushi is located for about 5 years now so I've been coming here for lunch since then. I'm a very picky eater so my order is always somewhat complicated but they reason with me and give me the order I want without hesitation. With that, everytime I come in, they greet me with a smile and already even know the order I'm getting which I love haha. Not going to lie, I'm not a big fan of eating sushi so I always get their kitchen entree specials. Their shrimp tempura appetizer with miso soup was my go to at first but then I fell inlove with their chicken teriyaki with rice and miso soup lunch special. My favorite part about their lunch specials is the price. It varies between 7-10$ which is fantastic for the amount of food they give you for the meal. Not but not least, their desserts are fire too! Their tempura green tea ice cream is to die for! 10/10 recommend this place! read more

Amazinggggg hibachi, comes with so much food you really get your moneys worth when you order from them.

Everything about this restaurant is great. The Sushi guy for some reason gave me a whole "side eye" while ordering; don't know what THAT was about, but," whatever. Food was great. Server was wonderful. That's really all that matters. read more

We went there after reading reviews. I am so glad we tried it out so much better than your regular burger place. I really loved their bao bun platter. What a gem in the Hampton roads area. read more

Came here as the first place I went to was closed. i drove in this plaza before, but I never noticed it. The restaurant was small, intimate & quiet. There was only two tables when I arrived. I got the lunch special which was two different rolls and it came with a house salad and an Ice Tea on the side. The sushi was good & fresh. The plate was cute and came with a little panda on it. I definitely would go back read more

Three stars because this is a complex review. For taste I'd give the food 5 stars no question. I'm taking off 2 because I had the sushi yesterday at about 4pm, didn't have anything else and my stomach is so sick! It started about 5 hours later at 9pm going on over night into the early morning. RIGHT NOW. Not sure if the food wasn't fresh yesterday or if the area was unclean. Something just was NOT right. Unfortunately I won't go back and risk this horrible stomach ache again. read more

I have mixed reviews about Oishi Sushi. I ordered from this restaurant several nights ago. The food was amazing. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I ordered shrimp/chicken hibachi. My boyfriend and daughter ordered the shrimp fried rice. Portion sizes are good. My order arrived with miso soup and salad. The food was flavorful, fresh and visual appealing. I was so pleased that I ordered again on Tuesday night. This time I ordered hibachi steak/shrimp. Oh boy! The food was not warm and looked and tasted as if the preparation had been rushed. The flavor was still there, but the shrimp was overcooked. The chunks of steak were cut larger than expected and a bit chewy. I'm not ready to write this place off yet. I'm giving them another try soon and will update my review at that time. Giving 4 stars for now simply based on the first amazing experience. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed dinner tonight! Got the Ariel Box and the Perfect Box..both were delicious and the food all tasted so fresh! Keep in mind the Ariel Box is 2 deep fried rolls in case you're trying to stay on the healthier side! The miso soup, ginger salad, and spring roll were all tasty...cannot express enough how fresh everything was. Had the Gyoza as an appetizer! Tasted fantastic. Really had a great dinner and was very full by the time I left. If you are interested in a different kind of beer try get Tsingtao..it's a great Chinese beer. read more

This place was an incredible find. The girlfriend and I stopped off on our way to the Outerbanks from D.C. The atmosphere was very quiet during the lunch hour and the lights are dimmed but not to the point of it feeling dark. The establishment also felt extremely clean and authentic. The sushi chef was truly an artist when plating the food and everything tasted very fresh. This is by far some of the best sushi I have ever stumbled upon. I recommend the volcano roll if you are looking for an interesting roll. It has fish flakes on the top that move to the steam coming of the grilled fish topping over a California roll. My Best Friend was also a delicious roll as well. Highly recommend! read more

Had my 1st visit after Hurricane Matthew hit, and it was flooded in Chesapeake. Happened to find this place open,( and yes, I'm one of those people who bought groceries, but still end up eating out, lol). I had ordered the Perfect dinner box which came with miso soup, salad, Spring roll, and 3 rolls: shrimp tempura, Spicy tuna, and Salmon roll. Yessss, I'm a Sushi loverrr. It was just a perfect day to eat a perfect dinner box for a perfect person. Lol. Will come back to try out their lunch specials. read more

Always on point! The staff is friendly and the food has never disappointed. Usually I stop in to order dinner to go and sometimes, if the chef isn't too busy, he'll give you a little sample to nosh on while you wait which is cool because you get to try something you might not normally order. Tonight he gave me a spicy salmon appetizer. It was the bomb! read more

My boyfriend and I went out for dinner here with a gift certificate he bought over a year ago, lol. We went on a Friday night, and the place was pretty busy but it didn't interfere with our experience. Side note: I've also been here with family a couple times before, and we've always been very satisfied with the food and the friendliness of the owners. We ordered miso soup, salmon rangoon, a spider roll, a shrimp tempura roll, a volcano roll, and a tiger roll. I sampled a little bit of everything, and the standouts were the salmon rangoon, the tiger roll, and the miso soup. I ordered the salmon rangoon based off what was recommended on past reviews, and it was probably my favorite part of the meal. Each piece was piping hot and filled with a lot of salmon. The outside was very crispy and drizzled with an avocado/jalapeño sauce. Fair warning: the sauce is spicy but tolerable! I would order this again and again. The tiger roll was excellent because they don't skimp on ingredients and the fish was so fresh! Every bite is flavor-packed and satisfying. Don't miss out! Last but not least, the miso soup was, I thought, better than your average miso soup. Cloudier than others, but packs more flavor. Oishi Sushi remains to be my top favorite sushi restaurant in town. It's a diamond in the rough! read more
