    Miso soup with tofu
    Leaving F.

    The service wasn't great. I asked what section they had the poki bowls on the menu, and I was told to look under the sushi section. I wasn't able to locate it so I asked again and got no help. The miso soup was not the same flavor of other restaurants and was tangy. The meat portions were rather small and didn't have much flavor. The calamari was ok. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was definitely more of a fast food vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Teriyaki Chicken-Don

    We ordered Oishii through DoorDash. I do remember their restaurant in Fresno, which was very good & this location did not disappoint. Food was packaged so well and fresh. Poke nachos, hands down one of the best I've had in the Valley and such a huge size for a treat price! We also tried the Chicken Teriyaki Don, Prawn tempura and the Oishii roll. Everything was delicious, we will definitely be ordering again & will be visiting the location very soon. Adding to our top places to eat when in Madera

    Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Brenda G.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute, fast and delicious![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Grab a menu, grab a seat then head up to the front to place your order. Id even say that this place is better than some highly favored Japanese restaurants in Fresno. As for what I ordered: - Okinawa iced coffee : 8.5/10 such a large drink and it's strong! - Shrimp tempura roll: 10/10 literally is always delicious - edamame 10/10 perfectly salted - donburi chicken katsu 8/10 (wish it came with a spicy sauce) - vegetable fried rice 10/10 - miso soup 6/10 *Keep in mind all portions are quite large so you'll have plenty to share!*

    Place has been in town for so long that I never stopped by. So find decide to give it a try. The place took away the corner of the plaza. I remember used to be an old Italian place back in the day. I wish I could remember the name of the sushi rolls I got. All three sushi rolls were delicious. The fried rice were good. The seaweed salad was a little different, but it was OK. Nice to taste the freshness, in the food that we got. Customer service was great. The workers were polite and kind and answered any questions that we had as it was our first time there definitely will be stopping by again

    If I only had $10 to my name I would spend the last $8 on a pretty in peach tea. I love it so much, so refreshing n sweet and the boba is so yummy ugh. I can't, there was a time where I would come every day specifically for that. Anyways oishii is the reason why I love sushi now. we ordered the dragon roll this time but I typically get the love love roll. I also really love their veggie egg rolls, idk how to explain it but you can tell they change their oil regularly and it tastes fresh. Love u oishiiiiiii

    They never disappoint! They are so customer service and quality focused, they are consistent and amazing! Portions are great and the ambiance is always inviting. Their food is excellent. Having a bad day, I go in and it lifts me, having a great day- same! Thank you for being a part of our restaurant scene in Madera!

    I'm a pretty harsh critic when it comes to sushi, my favorite food. My favorite spot for sushi is usually Sakura chaya and I have a hard time trying new places but i'm glad I gave this spot a chance. I got the super mario roll along with edamame. The roll was super tasty 5/5 and will def crave this roll. The edamame was cooked well, not under or over, just right. I also like that they offer the reg red cap soy sauce AND the green cap, low sodium soy sauce. The female cook in the kitchen was busting ass and all the food coming out all looked yummy! The only odd part of this place was the front staff. The 2 at the registers were a lil odd and just didn't seem to be present. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As for the place itself, the decor is cute but it was really warm walking in. They have fans blowing but it isn't cool AC air.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Anyway, like I said, i'm a tough critic but even so, I would def come back! The food is of course the number 1 reason but the hard working female cook was also impressive! Food 5/5. Service 4/5.

    Piece of Mean Jada
    Brandon G.

    Small sushi joint that is likely best for carry out but we sat in one of their few tables during a recent trip. Enjoyed a few different sushi roles including a Fuego Roll which I got for the hot Cheetos as that seemed unique and was. Also it was a great role with tuna, crunch and best. Red Dragon roll was also good with crunch of shrimp tempura, tuna, cream cheese and spicy tuna. Mean Jada roll was good but pieces are larger and a bit harder to eat. That had spicy tuna and yellowtail with a touch of heat. Finally the Cherry Blossom, looked like a flower how it was presented and had spicy tuna and salmon. Highly recommend all the rolls and they were all very large portion sizes and fresh. We will be back when traveling to Medera.

    Sunshine Roll

    I specifically asked for a baked salmon roll, the sunshine roll was recommended. It came out raw. So I asked kindly, if they could bake the salmon a little longer. And this is what I got next. Would you eat this? I absolutely lost my appetite. :( We were given a refund, which I do appreciate! One star for customer service. But then, we were told this is how it is supposed to look! Ummm no. We won't be back!

    Excellent food and service too! Nice to see this place doing good business. We ordered the Super Mario roll along with the California roll, combo fried rice and teriyaki chicken. All were great, nice fresh taste and good presentation too!

    Snow
    Monica L.

    Maria took my order today she was very knowledgeable of the menu I told her what I was looking for in a sushi roll and she suggested the "Snow" roll 10/10 just what I was looking for Thank you again!

    Fried rice with bacon. It tastes just like teppanyaki fried rice.
    Lorena C.

    Very good. And yes, highly recommend the fried rice! The boba drink is yummy and it's with clear boba jelly. I really like the tea drink. I ordered a jasmine green tea with lavender.

    **Review from 2024 .......... Added here from previous trip**…read more So finally tried Thai Basil. Here is my honest review.... I am sooo glad we have something different in Madera. With that said here we go... Service.. service was super slow for an empty Sunday night. The young lady taking orders had no clue what sauces were on the dishes, had no clue what the ingredients were, she couldn't explain anything, she read the description on the menu back to me. She stated she had not had most dishes there. Her description of the cucumber salad was it's cucumber in a clear watery sauce.. ‍ I'm happy she was there to take our orders and she was nice. Presentation.. Presentation was quite nice for Madera! It was nice to see simple, yet pretty playing! The curry soup.. the flavors were quite muted for Thai food IMO. It was a good difference in texture having it topped with wontons. We ordered it medium spicy as well, which was great. The spicy pork flat noodle dish had great heat at medium spice level, wish I would have gone hot, since I like things SPICY . The texture of the pork was quite tough since they used a leaner cut of meat which was ok. I was surprised at the amount of meat on the plate for a noodle dish. Speaking of noodles they were almost sprinkled in in super small pieces, but the texture was on point. We wished there were more noodles. The broccoli seemed out of place I wish there was more Chinese broccoli which was cooked to perfection!!! The cucumber salad was delicious!!! We both stated we wished the onions weren't three inches long. I will definitely be making this at home! It would be a perfect pairing to grilled chicken or shrimp for a nice summer dinner!! We loved it!!! Saltiness of the food.. I think of Thai as having a few key flavors and the dishes are definitely on the saltier side, this was lacking salt, butttttt I prefer more salt than most people so not a true fair assessment. I was surprised there weren't any sauces on the table. Design and lay out.. it was very small inside but they did well with the space allotted and I loved the decor. The place needs a good dusting, we sat next to the wall and the wood was white with dust directly over the table. Overall it was a great meal considering I didn't have to cook, the plating was lovely, and it was something different for Madera! I wish them well!!! I'm happy they are here!!! Buttttttttt so far Coconut Cafe in Merced has a strong hold on our heart!! I can't wait to go back and try the Larb and the Pad Thai!

But she made it taste better! I will say whoever was frying the food not only had the perfect temp on the fried food choices but also perfect timing. Everything was super crunchy and perfectly salty! This is hard to do, definitely wasn't expected at all place like this!!! Perfectly frying and salting food 5/5 She recommended the pomegranate beer and it was delicious!! It was crisp, floral, lightly sweet, bubbly and everything she promised it would be!! We ordered several items to share. All items ordered were based off her recommendation.. Wings: Fried to perfect texture.. flavor was ok.. the texture made them taste better!!!!! Fries: perfectly crispy on the outside stood up to both time and being dipped while remaining crunchy!! Perfectly salted also! Nothing sucks more than getting a fry that isn't salted! Italian nachos: we were all hesitant about this order. The pesto was a perfect addition it it was actually delicious! I've made this at home since!! Would I return? Her customer service knocked it out of the park for me! The place was incredibly busy and she multitasks like no other! She didn't forget a single thing, was hustling and kept the place very clean all by herself! The perfect fry for average flavor food made it better!!! HELL YES!!
