This is a great sushi restaurant because they have an all you can eat menu which is actually really big and has good selection. They eliminate waste because whatever you don't finish they charge you regular price for! read more

Oishii Sushi - Sushi Platter - Japanese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I have not eaten in the restaurant but have ordered the food take out a few times. Food tastes good, lots of variety. Have never been disappointed read more

We've been going to Oiishi Sushi for special occasions for nearly a decade. We've remained loyal through menu changes, price increases, COVID struggles, and adjustments in portion sizes and quality due to inflation. It has always been our go-to place for celebrations. Yesterday, we went to celebrate the end of the school year, but the experience was terrible and made me not want to return. Despite having a reservation, we were seated in a noisy corner near the kitchen, where they bring the food out, even though the restaurant was nearly empty. We requested a booth and were moved to another table. Throughout our meal, different servers constantly interrupted us to ask how everything was. It was annoying, and they even tried to clear our plates before we were finished. The food was below average. After our meal, we waited over 20 minutes for ice cream, and all the attentive staff disappeared. We had to ask about our dessert, and three people checked our order before the ice cream finally arrived. The next morning, my husband had diarrhea. We won't be returning to Oishi Sushi. It's no longer a place that brings us joy. July 1, 2024 UPDATE: This is very suspicious. After I left a negative Google review, 14 positive reviews appeared at the same time, less than 2 days after my post went up. It seems clear that this restaurant is hiring a company to boost their ratings. However, those who have been there know exactly what I am talking about. read more

Food was great! Service was quick and efficient. Ambience was welcoming. What really sold us was that their sashimi slices were thick! Would definitely go back! read more

Fresh food always. We ordered tempura first but for some reason it was served the last. Very large portion so be careful when you order: don't order more than you can eat! read more

I used to like coming here for all you can eat, but the service is terrible now. We decided to go with the Deluxe menu today and that was definitely not worth $42/person. I specifically ask for no ice in my drinks wherever I go because I'm not sure how clean the ice machine is. My server then brings me my drink with huge chunks of ice. I let it slide this time because I didn't want to make a fuss out of it. We placed our order through the ipad, waited patiently for 40 minutes as we watched the table next to us receive their large order - coincidentally, they were getting all the same items we ordered. We ordered maybe 15 items for the first round and only got 5 of the items in the 40 minutes we waited and it wasn't even the least bit fresh or hot. I was honestly shocked to see so many tables not being cleaned and seeing the runners grab empty dishes from tables with eating customer and just leaving the dishes on tables where customers had left. Why wouldn't you just bring it to the back and get them washed right away??? Anyways, I brought up the issue to a runner who apologized but didn't really seem sincere, she then called over our server who realizes that the items which we ordered were mostly going to the table next to us. I then watch as she turns to the table over, grabs a dish that was given to them by mistake, then brings it directly to our table expecting us to eat it like it wasn't contaminated. That's honestly disgusting and I now assume that anything from here may be contaminated or dirty. We didn't even know whether the food we ordered was going to come and when we tried to order more food the internet connection cut off, the server and runners stop coming around our section so we got up and decided to leave. read more

S was craving AYCE so we decide to check out Oishii Sushi for some Saturday night all you can eat festivities. Holy crap, why is this place so busy? We arrived at 6:00pm and had to wait about 10-15 minutes to grab a table. Seriously? I don't understand. Prices depend on age and when you come in. Lunch time is $16.99 for 14 and over ($17.99 on weekends) and dinner time is either $27.99 or $32.99 (for the deluxe premium menu). Pretty standard pricing for AYCE. Is it worth it? Read on grasshopper. The menu is massive and has everything under the sun. Great if you like variety. Not so great if you like quality. There is a separate deluxe menu ($5.00 extra) where you can order extra items. Good - Salmon and tuna sashimi - Tuna tataki - Alaska snow crab - Hiyashi wakame salad - Yakitori - Toro and hamachi sashimi - we all picked the same specials from the chef specials menu. Savour your one piece maximum of each! - Salmon tataki - Shrimp skewers - Green tea and vanilla ice cream Decent - Sashimi salad - Sashimi sunomono - Oyster motoyaki - Beef tataki - Scallop karaage - Spicy chili tofu - Oishii mayo shrimp - Special scallop sushi, ebi, unagi and tako nigiri - Assorted vegetable tempura - Saba - Spicy salmon and spicy tuna roll - Unagi cone - Salmon yukke Meh - Enoki beef rolls - Lamb skewers - Lobster roll - Hot and sour soup - Creamy yaki udon - Geso calamari skewers - Crispy bananas We ate a loooooooot of food. Think we finished with four full orders. You can never get your money's worth from AYCE but we gave it our best shot. I doubt I'll be coming back anytime soon but if you do, order smartly and get the salmon sashimi. A lot of it. read more

We used to love coming here but it has really gone downhill. Now all the food is deep fried; even the Japanese style fish and yakatori skewers; try pulling that off in Japan!!! The individual portions are much smaller, the presentation is bad like it's all just thrown together and the flavour is almost gone! It's fast food sushi at best!! There is junk laying all around the restaurant like ratty Amazon boxes on shelves and the atmosphere has really gone down. To top it all off, they charge a 15% gratuity on tables over 5 people. I have no problem with this in any way, but don't calculate it with the GST included!! I normally tip up to 20% if the service is good, but forcing me to tip on the GST leaves a really bad taste in my mouth!!! All in all, not a very good experience at all! read more

Great place for Lunch AYCE. I only come here to eat a select few sushi rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. I found that I don't really eat most of the things from their deluxe menu ,so I only come here for regular lunch AYCE. Great price, fast service. I don't enjoy their cooked foods, such as ginger beef, dim sum, soups, udon, friend stuff. Skip all that and just come for the sushi and nigiri. read more

Oishii Sushi - Red Coral/Kimchi roll (my favourite). Oishii Star Roll. Rainbow roll. - Japanese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

This restaurant has been going done hill steadily since opening. Our last visit was for lunch. The miso soup was SO fishy it was a complete turn off. We were served numerous rolls with salmon, where the salmon was so chewy you couldn't get through it. The prices have gone up over 30%. It is also to be noted that 5 people or more have the gratuity added to the bill automatically. We won't be back! read more

Hair in the food that couldn't have come from us. Threw it out. So gross. The entire experience was a mess but most of that was from the delivery. read more

They served us raw chicken skewers, and unfortunately we only found out after biting into it. Service is horrible there. And we told them about the raw chicken. They only said sorry very nonchalantly. Uhhh okay. We could've gotten really sick, but sure. We will never return to Oishii. read more

Oishii Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Went here for all you can eat sushi dinner! Bottomline: best all you can eat sushi in Calgary! It costs $26 per person for sushi and sashimi and $32 for the deluxe menu which includes oysters and tataki. We went a little overboard with ordering rolls (to the point that the waiter asked if we were sure we can finish haha) and then regretted it shortly after! There is a charge for unfinished food so it was a little stressful haha We ordered the mango dragon roll (prawn tempura and avacado with mango), Philadelphia roll, spicy salmon roll, beef udon, miso soup, salmon and tuna sashimi, salmon rose and prawn tempura. Out of these my favourites were the spicy salmon and the mango dragon roll. I didn't love the tempura personally because it was a bit soggy. Didn't have room for dessert after all this food so can't comment on that haha read more

The sushi is great here, always delicious! Mango Paradise Roll is the bomb! But good god get a new manager already. He was no customer service skills what so ever and actually made a comment to one of my coworkers who didn't tip on the debit machine "you realize the food price does not include the tip?". Tipping is a pro bono... based on a customers personal choice to reward good service if they see fit, you don't accost your customers in hopes to generate tips. How does he still have a job? read more

We did the a la carts menu. The rainbow roll was so sweet it was sickening. The mango roll was covered in sugar. The atmosphere is nice and clean but the sushi wasn't very good. read more

This used to be my favourite AYCE sushi restaurant in Alberta. I have been coming here for years. The hot and apps were so good with lots of choices. Stand outs: gyoza, spring rolls, bbq squid.. Much more. The service is a bit slow, if you need napkins, more drinks, etc. But since they have changed the style/way /whatever way of serving food. It's gone down hill. The man and I, brought our two Edmonton friends here because we always rave about this place. I was surprised to see the hot foods on a buffet line. While you can still order sushi/sashimi fresh. IT WAS SO HARD TO FIND A SERVER!!!!!! I ended up going to the front to ask for items. The food is okay now. But honestly I'd only go here for the sashimi and some of the rolls. I'd rather have my food served to me as I order it. Who knows how long the food has been sitting on the buffet line on a dead night? And the ice cream is also a part of the buffet line. Good luck trying to get a good scoop when it's rock hard and people waiting in line for their scoop. read more

Do you want to gain a lot weight for your next acting gig? Then come on over to Oishii. I promised, you'll get fat in no time. Note that Oishii ain't Wa's or Zipang, but its a hell of a lot better than your average Calgary sushi joint and great value. I do not know how this restaurant makes money, as the food is good, and great for an all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant. Winners: Creamy udon, salmon nigiri, beef enoki nigiri, deluxe menu, seaweed salad. The rice in the rolls/sushi was good. Losers: Oyster Motoyaki was small and fishy, the scallop nigiri was too sweet and overly mayonnaisey. Tip: Sit at the booths, service is great there but not so much near the kitchen. DO NOT ORDER TOO MUCH FOOD AT ONCE! When in doubt, order less. Ask your server for advice and you won't be grossly stuffed like I was. The rolls are very large and most are drenched in spicy or creamy sauces, so go easy on them. read more

I had an enjoyable lunch here. For an AYCE place it's pretty decent. Service was a bit slow and food was also slow to come out of the kitchen but luckily we had no time constraints. However, I can see this as a problem especially if you're on a lunch break. It was nice that the cooked foods are tapas size because it allowed us to try many different items on the menu. The sushi rolls are normal roll size. Lunch AYCE menu is different than the dinner AYCE menu. Apparently the dinner AYCE menu has a few additional items including sashimi. There is no sashimi on the lunch AYCE menu. If you don't want AYCE they also offer a la carte ordering, including lunch combos. Inside is new, clean, large, and nicely renovated...which adds to the ambiance. I hope it will stay like this :) read more

I'll admit it... This is probably the best AYCE sushi restaurant in Calgary at the moment! The chef use to work for Shibuya Izakaya and I guess decided to open up his own place down south. The interior is very nicely designed with open concept kitchen. The menu itself is VERY extensive and has so many different hot and cold dishes. The few items that stuck out for a Japanese restaurant was that they were serving Chinese items like Siu Mai, Har Gow and Ginger beef. For a sushi restaurant they serve bomb dim sum, surprising. I only went for lunch and the place was still kinda busy for 1pm. The service was quick and the food came QUICK!! Meaning Takoyaki balls came out within 3mins of placing the order. Maybe it was because the tables were starting to clear out but great for us! The food is very well presented and attention to detail is not lost. Every dish leaving the kitchen was perfectly plated and garnished regardless of the quantity of the items. This AYCE sushi place is a definite must try especially for the dinner deluxe menu where there is beef tataki!!! Eating just a few orders of this dish would pay for your entire meal!!! Happy munching! Must order: 1. Oiishi deluxe 2. Hand cones (they do not cheap out on the meat within them) 3. Takoyaki read more

This is in the se of the city by a town center...there's shoppers close by and some other businesses. The place is pretty huge you can see the sushi chefs preparing your food. When you go in they got different kinds of sake looks so yummy The serving is pretty good size...we were scared to order too much since we were with our parents. For your birthday...you get free tea...one per table... my mom n I ate celebrating our birthdays back to back...but restaurant policy...only 1 free tea a table. They got Takoyaki which most Japanese place don't include...I just find they put too much sauce... I do like that they have green tea ice cream and the deep fried banana to go with it is yummy... I like how their ginger is white not pink! Their Wasabi is not really as potent. Those are the only thing that stuck out....hence 3 stars Their food ain't too bad. Service is fast. We are glad we got a fast server...the other servers wasn't as swift. We went there right at lunch time and it wasn't busy until later on... Overall experience was good. I gave it 3 stars since the server wasn't as swift...it matters specially when you are very hungry. read more

This is the newly renovated one located on Riverbend. It's eat all you can for 27.99/head. Very good taste and quality of food.

There were too many choices though that gets confusing sometimes though it's okay once you look at several times! read more

They never give new customers the all you can eat menu they give them the regular menu. This is the second time they served me rotten crab legs. When I told them it's rotten they offered fresh ones but I declined. Will never go back here the server was also searching threw our crab shells to see if we hadn't hid any food under them that we couldn't finish. She searched it right at the table! Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone if you want fresh good food go somewhere else. I took a picture of the crab and I'm going to try and upload it. read more

I was here for lunch yesterday, but didn't have the AYCE. Instead I opted for one of the Bento boxes. I ordered the bento box with two choices, my friend the one with three choices. The meal also comes with miso soup. The two dishes sides I ordered were the Teriyaki beef, and the chicken karaage. The box was tasty, and if I had to say anything negative about it. The beef was luke warm. I would even have to say it bordered on the cooler side of luke as well. On this day, it was a Wednesday they had a special if you ordered Japanese beer. I ordered the Asahi beer (Bottle). and the special this day was that you get two oysters with it. I have to say that they were pretty darn tasty oysters. They were served cold, and with a sweeter ponzu type sauce. The people around us look like they ordered the AYCE, and judging by the size and look of the rolls I think I'll be back to try it. This restaurant was the former neighborhood pub. I also wanted to add that upon entering the restaurant it seemed like it wasn't busy. That's because everyone was seated behind a wall by the main entrance to the left. This area was completely full. It's a big space, you can't really judge from the outside. I'll be back forsure. read more

Couldn't give a 2 1/2 star rating so I rounded up to 3 stars. We were disappointed when compared to our last visit in May 2018. The good: kitchen and table service was efficient but definitely could be improved. The not so good: Part of the restaurant was blocked off and lights turned off. They removed tables to put in a self-serve salad and soup bar. The toppings appeared to be left over from lunch as there wasn't much there and covered with plastic wrap. The sushi menu had less choices than before and quality was average (same as other lower cost places) which was a major disappointment considering the cost of their AYCE price. With tables blocked off, the lights turned off and a reduced menu, we assumed Oishii was under new management and not doing so well. Hopefully things will turn around and they can return to the high quality from days gone by. read more

I've been here once or twice before, the service wasn't bad but it also wasn't amazing. I came here the other night with a few people, and right away the service was terrible. It was slow and all of the employees there seemed to be in such a bad mood. Our refills for drinks took forever, as did the food and desserts. It took over 15 minutes for some small bowls of ice cream to be brought over. I understand that it was a little bit busy, but literally none of the staff members had a simple smile on their face even when speaking to customers. Food was pretty good though, although I did feel sick/nauseous for the next day or two. read more

I won't mince words: Oishii Sushi is the best AYCE Sushi experience in Calgary in all aspects. I've had my eye on Oishii for a while now, but haven't really bit the bullet to go as it is a little far from downtown. I am glad I finally made the trek on a whim on a Friday night, because it really hit the spot for me. Despite the nondescript outside appearance of a small restaurant in a strip mall, it actually is massive, modern, clean, and well apportioned from a space perspective. Great ambiance - lively but not roaring. The Bathrooms were unexpectedly clean, classy, and well designed decor wise, with soft jazz playing for your while you make room for your next order. It was extremely busy. I don't know if I just picked an uncommonly busy Friday to try my luck, but I showed up at 6:10 and wasn't seated until 6:40. The joint was packed despite having a huge number of tables. Luckily I got a quiet corner booth. Overall the quality of the space is high, and cleanliness standards are well above average. Service was very good. The servers were prompt, checked in on you often, and never messed up an order (which is unheard of for AYCE Sushi, they always forget something). Now, onto the menu. Regular Dinner ($28) and Deluxe Dinner ($33). The additional items offered on the deluxe menu were not worth the value for me as only one of us would have enjoyed it - the only things that caught my eye on the deluxe menu were the crab legs, oysters, and Tataki. Everything else (beef rolls, for example) I see as low value and not worth it. That being said, the regular dinner menu was actually pretty impressive. Of course, my focus was sushi: the rolls are pretty generous with fish content and don't overload on rice, which is a mistake I see at many sushi AYCE. The sushi had a pretty thin cut of fish, which is less desirable, but with Sashimi on the menu, you can make up for that. The Sashimi selection was okay, but the sashimi order always arrived dead last after a long delay as compared to everything else. This was a turn off for me, as it was so exaggerated it was clearly an intentional method to ensure that you wouldn't order too much sashimi. So if you go, make it a point to order extra sashimi in your first order, and then expect to have it arrive with everything else you've ordered for your second order. A few interesting ones that I don't usually see elsewhere: I liked the Salmon Yukke (tartar), and the creamy udon. I would avoid the dim sum as it is mediocre. Overall very good experience at Oishii - going forward there is absolutely no where else i will go for AYCE Sushi. read more

This place is pretty good! All you can eat. It is deceiving on the outside as you think it is a little restaurant but it is actually a huuuge space inside. Booths tables and a lot of staff busily buzzing around like worker bees. The staff is important because something to note was that during this visit, we didn't wait long for our food. The all you can eat comes in two prices as you can opt for the deluxe that features some of their premium items which I think is worth it. The portions are small but that is good for buffet addicts like me that want to pay for selection and variety rather than solid big portions. I'd go back again. read more

This is my second time here. The first time when they first open I came for a birthday celebration but the service and food was terrible. Our sashimi was frozen. However, they have improved. Came for dinner for two on a Friday at 6 pm. Parking lot fills up fast since there so many businesses in the complex. The front host wasn't attentive stood there flipping through paper while a line formed. Not until the lady in front spoke up did he started to seat people. The atmosphere at this restaurant is open and modern. Lots of seating and clean. The waitress was friendly and came by often to get our order. The food was really good. We love the beef tataki the most. Portions are small but that prevents waste. It's a bit expensive for deluxe all you can eat is $35. Overall all the sushi options were delicious and I would come back. For the sweet tooth lovers there ice cream for dessert! read more

Oishii Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

My first visit to Oishii was nothing to write home about. The Sushi was delicious, but the service was really terrible and we vowed not to return to dine in. Two night ago on my way home from work I decided to try their take out. I was incredibly surprised, the food was prompt, packaged the best I have ever seen, and it was again, delicious. If you want excellent sushi, head here. Just don't expect much from the wait staff. I know mistakes happen, but our vegetable tempura order came out half empty, then was remedied with a fish order (not acceptable), we finally got the rest of our tempura 15 minutes after we had finished our rolls, and then it took over half an hour to get our bill and pay. No apologies anywhere to be found. When trying a new place for the first time, it's hard not to consider service as a major selling point. read more

Have been here a few more times since my last visit, and service has only improved. One waitress I have gotten multiple times, and she always remembers me and my dietary restrictions. Yay! Also, they handle groups pretty well. Would recommend for an inexpensive birthday celebration. read more

For an all-you-can-eat sushi place this place is quite good. The use of an iPad, at each table with a pictographic representation of sushi offerings, makes completing your order a breeze. I went there at lunch with a colleague Sushi was quite fresh and there was minimal wait time read more

We risked it, we decided to go here tonight without being able to make a reservation, and it was completely fine. This visit was totally worth it. This place has absolutely the best Japanese AYCE in YYC. At $27.99 for their "dinner tasting menu" we got a great selection of cold and hot items to choose from. There is also two free "chef special" items you can select with your meal as well. We laughed at how they have dim sum on the menu, and did not try it... but I'm sure it would have been good though. All their food was fantastic! From the simplest dishes like "sashimi salad" and "egg drop soup" you can taste the quality difference compared to other Japanese AYCE places at the same price point. Most of what we got had great plating, even my one order of takoyaki had garnishes at the bottom. I love their attention to detail here. Their house special roll is fantastic :) it was a deep fried tempura roll with just a hint of tabasco after taste to it. Delicious! We had to of course finish off with some sweets for dessert, they've got ice cream available... which they garnish with a fried taro chip and whipped cream. Ahhhhh the simple things in life delight me. Will be sure to come back time and time again... as long as I can actually get in that is ;) P.S. They have lemon slices with their ice water :) its all about the details. read more

Tonight is absolutely the last night my girlfriend and I will ever come here. It was very disappointing as we come here often. My girlfriend asked for soy sauce plates as it was missing on our table, along with side plates, and it took the staff at least 15 mins to get a set having to ask twice from two different people. Mind you, this has happened before but we just never thought anything of it. Overall, I just think, the staff there work to work. There's no customer service at all and I'm just quite disappointed. Food was disgusting and it's just very different now. At the end of the night, my girlfriend ended up having a stomach ache. We got home and tried everything to heal her stomach but she ended up puking 4 times. I wish I recorded everything for proof but at the end of the day, it is what it is. read more

Parking 1/5 big parking lot but no spaces Environment 3/5 place is very nice and open washroom is very clean. Food 2/5 sushi rolls were great. Beef Tataki & Creamy Udon was made to look and taste like Shibuya's recipe but didn't not taste as good. Beef Tataki lacked the shredded radish. Creamy udon was bland. Service 1/5 we were told to pre order food when we made a reservation so we pre ordered, but when we came nine of the food was ready. Came here at 7:30 was told we had 2 hours to eat , the food showed up as 1 plate with 6 pieces every 15 mins. Had to ask for the manager at 830 to voice concerns and then food started coming out. Only after voicing my concerns did the management take out tables orders and put them through. Unfortunately I came all the way to the south to try this out based on good reviews but unfortunately I will not be back. I don't mind paying for quality food and service. read more
