Sushi: Was great, there is a wide selection of sushi even special sushis like pizza sushi. Everything fairly priced. I give the sushi a 4/5. Service: Excellent. There was only one waiter but he was fast enough that he would answer phone calls and be on top of all the tables. I give the service a 5/5 Decor/Vibe: The place is really clean and neat but the decor looks like it got stuck on 2005. The red seats look cheap and the bar looks like it belongs at a club rather than a sushi restaurant. Its ok for dates it is a low light place with fake candles on the tables. I givethe decor a 2/5. read more

Love this place. Have been ordering take out for years. Consistently good quality fish and plenty of vegetarian options. Amazing customer service. Some rolls were missing from our order and someone walked over to drop them off. Really appreciated the effort and the service. Support this local restaurant if you can!!! read more

I don't believe in ratings. Just go or not. This one is NOT. Sushi are cheap and too much cucumber. Do not go here. read more

Oishii Sushi - a close up of two sushi characters - Sushi Bars Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Kind of like Japanese tapas (Izakaya?), you can get all sorts of interesting small dishes, like orange salmon canapes, oishii lobster (our favorite!) - including strawberries and served with shrimp chips, and many others. In a city with a bad reputation for sushi, Oishii manages to put together a very interesting and solid selection of quality dishes, and is still reasonably priced, at least in 2010. Definitely a neighborhood go-to spot, and at the same time unique enough to please visitors to the city too. Definitely to be recommended. Great for groups too, as they have a decent amount of space, and I think they have 1/2 price cocktails on Thursdays. read more

Great service! Great sushi! Will definitely become our new regular neighborhood spot.

We visited Oishii sushi a few days ago with a Groupon voucher that we bought previously. Though it said that we had to present the voucher by paper (printout), upon calling and asking, they said that it is okay to bring it on your mobile phone. When we arrived, we were quickly seated and we told them that we had the Groupon voucher. After checking/validating the voucher, we were brought menus and the waiter explained how the Groupon prix fixe worked. We got: soup to start (miso/seafood miso) for 2, an appetizer of our choice up to $8 (more expensive ones were available for an extra surcharge), a special maki to share, and chef's special plate of 25 pieces of sushi. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and the maki. I love maki, and I was extremely satisfied with my chef's plate which included 5 types of maki with 4 pieces of sushi. Though the quality of the fish used wasn't the most fresh, their maki and sushi selection was great and I'd definitely return again for another great dining experience with or without my Groupon voucher. I'd recommend this place for those who are looking for some good Japanese sushi in Montreal! read more

One of my favorite sushi place in Montreal with Tri Express. Everything is always fresh and delicious. I recommend to try the beef sashimi, and the mikan roll. Simple but so good. I always order different "chef's specials" but I always get these 2 things for sure... Other dishes like teriyaki or noodles are a bit less surprising but still good. The service has always been perfect. Nothing to say about it. The ambiance is ok, generally the music is not loud at all and people remain pretty quiet, that's appreciable. Not too crazy about the interior design but WHO CARES! Almost 5 stars; The only thing I noticed, is that it's not as good and fresh when you order to go. A couple of times I ordered sushi or udon and I was really disappointed. So you'd better want to eat in. read more

Really surprised this restaurant has received a handful of bad reviews. I have eaten here several times and loved it each time. The service is excellent, the staff is very friendly & hospitable- they even made us a roll that was not on the menu! The decor is very nice, especially during the warmer months when all the front panels are removed. I would recommend trying the Rainbow Specialty roll & the roll with Basil. All the rolls are presented nicely and tasted very fresh. Prices are extremely reasonable, around $1-$1.50/ piece.Lot of variety in cocktails, a friend ordered the Ginger martini and really enjoyed it . For dessert, make sure to try the Green Tea ice cream! Overall, very highly recommended. Bon appetit :) read more

came in on the recommendation of our Helm bartender -- so glad we did! fresh sushi and options for the non-sushi eaters. We enjoyed the California roll, the rainbow roll, and the chicken curry! All very fresh and delicious! Great option for Japanese food in Mile End. the picture represents the remnants because we were VERY hungry read more

J'ai essayé avec quelques amis et ... Bon ... Ben ... Veni vidi vici, quoi ! Au moins, je l'aurais essayé ! L'une des serveuses, la jeune, est particulièrement agréable, pas la plus âgée ... Mais la musique d'ambiance, de style rétro, était agréable ainsi que le décor. Il y a d'autres sushi places à Montreal, quoi ! read more

Had a great experience at this restaurant. Went on New Year's Day and the place was practically empty. The Holiday might have contributed to the fact they had the largest cuts of sushi/sashimi I've ever experienced at a sushi restaurant. Fish tasted super fresh as well. They had creative specialty rolls and the miso soup was homemade. I thought the restaurant was affordable in comparison to my Normal sushi experience. read more

Oishii Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

We purchased a group-buy coupon for Oishii Sushi, but when we wanted to make a reservation, their phone went unanswered and their mailbox was full. We sent an email asking if they were still open, but received no reply. Their website did not indicate anything out of the ordinary, and so we figured that they were bad with phones and drove down hoping to just walk in. The place is completely shut down, with the windows papered over. A sign on the window said "CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS - REOPENING FEBRUARY 2012" ... but it was already March. How can you close your restaurant without indicating as much in your phone message and website!? Unbelievable. *** UPDATE *** Oishi Sushi has re-opened, and we were finally able to redeem our coupons. The food was decent, but over-priced. The only dish that stood out was the grilled tuna steak salad, which was really good. The service was, however, atrocious. First, it was slow, despite the fact that there were a lot of servers on the floor. Second, one of our servers had to return to the table twice to confirm our order because she forgot. Third, when we tried to pay, our server charged us the tax TWICE (which was over ten dollars), and when I respectfully asked her what the charge was, she argued with me for a ridiculously long time that the tax had not actually been charged twice, huffing and puffing, rolling her eyes and sighing exasperatedly as if I were the problem and basically and making a huge scene before finally (loudly) calling her manager over. The manager, at least, immediately saw that the tax had been charged twice (it was an obvious mistake), apologized, and corrected the bill. But all in all, it was a really uncomfortable exchange. I get the feeling that this restaurant just does not give two flips about its patrons. read more

A nice sushi restaurant on Bernard in Mile-End. They have quite a few innovative choices, if you are looking for something more innovative and less authentic. The prices are a little high and the habit of cutting rolls in 5 make sharing a little more difficult. Good atmosphere, good heating, even near the windows. Service are smooth and well done. Parking in the neighbourhood is difficult. read more

So here's the deal: per person is $25, ok fair enough since it's all you can eat that's great. HOWEVER, if you do not finish you are charged $1 per piece you leave and can NOT take it home with you. Not plate, piece. So you're essentially being punished for not finishing yet even if you wanted to take it home you can't. This is so backwards and kind of offensive if I'm being honest.. if you wanted to take things back home you can't even enjoy it to go. So the sushi was pretty good, service was fairly quick. 4 stars for the fact and principle that you might as well get a slap on the wrist because you might only leave one piece of sushi. Spare me. read more

Our favourite Japanese rest in our neighbourhood. Small place. Nice sushi and sash ini selection. I enjoyed Udon noodles there last time I went...but the Tempura was a bit on the soggy side. read more

We've tried Oishi Sushi last night based on a friend's recommendation. I am a bit of a sushi snob after working at a high end sushi restaurant back in my college days, but Oishi Sushi really exceeded my expectations. There were a lot of options and our waitress recommended a few dishes to try based on our preference. Contrary to what other reviewers wrote here, we actually had great service. I highly recommend trying their sashimis, but the stand out dish for me was the scallops. We will definitely be returning! read more

I had yet another delicious supper at Oishii Sushi. The food is amazing, the prices are reasonable (somewhat expensive, but it's good quality sushi, so it's normal), and the service is excellent. The decor is a bit generic, but it's well done. Thank the chef when you leave, he's really nice! A family-run establishment, very highly recommended. 10/10. read more

I am a regular customer at Oishi Sushi and this is one of my most favorite sushi places in Montreal. The food is always fresh and amazing. The appetizers are so yummy, particularly the scallops and the tuna. I think I have tried each single dish on the menu. My favorite sushi on the menu is the Rainbow. But really everything is great. The customer service is also very good! And the manager is super sweet and pleasant lady! read more

I went there 2 times for dinner in the last month. I enjoyed them both. First, I got their sashimi plate, good amount of rice but not in excess, vegetable as decoration and 15 pieces of fresh fish. The white tuna pieces (albacore?) were melting in the mouth! Second time I got the sushi plate. Again, really good. Those two plates in table d'hôte meal are a great mix. For parking (a problem in that neighbourhood), I would recommend Jeanne Mance or Esplanade. read more

Went with a group, Very slow service and messed up multiple of our checks. Ordered our drinks and took around 20-30 minutes for them to arrive read more

This is an excellent, and very well priced, Sushi place in Mile End. The chef is the owner of the place so you will always get reliable quality in their service. I usually don't go to dine in but I use the take away. read more

This was a really bad experience on almost all points for our supper. The food was mediocre. The miso soup was tepid and apart from 2 pieces of fake crab floating in the bowl, there was no difference between the regular and seafood soups. The chef specialty they served us was fried in a greasy old tasting batter that was not crisp nor warm. The soft shell crab suffered the same horrible fate and was really disappointing. The redeeming quality of the sushi was the freshness of the salmon, but apart from that, the mushy rice, bad greasy tempura, and small pieces of fish and unfresh vegetables made for some of the worst sushi I've ever had. The night was a gift by friends through a tuango coupon which we are not familiar with. It claimed we had a meal worth 88$. I would have honestly not paid 20$ for it. The food is better and fresher at a Sushi Shop. We were appalled by the mediocre quality, their claim that it was worth that price (and making us pay for the taxes and a fixed amount of tip they imposed for that full 88$ amount). When we asked questions about it, the exasperated waitress (I'm sure considering the awful quality and horrible deal made more than one client question the bill) explained in a harsh manner the why of the bill. Sensing the tense atmosphere and hearing that we were asking questions, one server (who I'm guessing was part of the restaurant ownership) shooed her away so HE could explain to us how it worked. After this blatant example of mansplanning, we told him that the waitress had clearly been able to explain it, and we left disgusted, dissatisfied and sad of the whole evening and how much negative this whole experience has been. We will never return there. read more

I am absolutely devastated. Hoping for a pleasant dinner around the dining room table with some friends before we head out to begin a night of partying to ring in the new year, I placed an order for about 50$ of food. An innocent enough request -- however, you'll never guess what happened next. After an hour and a half of waiting, feeling pangs of hunger deep in our stomachs, the delivery man arrived. Our total was 43.60, and, lacking any smaller change, my dear friend Miranda handed him three twenty dollar bills. He asked how much she wanted back and then told her he did not have any change. Being university students who lack the means to tip 15$ for a small food delivery order, we requested for him to find change for us. He then left. We opened our food -- half of the orders were inedible. Soggy, cold, only half cooked. One order was wrong. The miso soup was beginning to form a thin layer of ice. We called back, complaining, and they proceeded to block our phone number. We called on another phone, and after that they blocked that number as well. We are now waiting for a new order to be delivered... but our hope is mostly gone. read more

I'm a true sushi connaseur having travelled to Japan a few times or eaten in little Tokyo in LA. The sushi here is comparable tuna not pink (signs of frozen) and very tasty. Just the right taste in the rice no sugar taste. If you like authentic this place is as close as you'll get in Montreal. read more

We went for sushi last night to Oishii Sushi. We had read some of the reviews about Oishii Sushi, saw that they were good, and decided to buy a Groupon for it. The restaurant itself was quite lovely with its side open to let in a calming breeze. It is also in a good location with plenty of people walking outside and with it being near to Mount Royal. We found that the sushi was OK, but we must confess to being a little disappointed given the other positive reviews (some of the other reviews say "in a city not known for good sushi", but we must uphold all sushi restaurants to the same universal standard regardless of whether they're in Japan or Nunavut). My main issue with the sushi is that a few pieces fell apart when we picked them up with the chopsticks, indicating that the sticky rice was perhaps not as sticky as it should have been. Also, I'm a bit used to some sushi pieces having a hint of wasabi inside for an extra little "zing", but no such zing was to be found inside these pieces. Some of them tasted a little plain, perhaps not being as fresh as we would have hoped for. One of the shrimp tempura pieces was somewhat strangely not fully connected. Finally, the prices were not as good as we would have hoped for given that the sushi didn't measure up to our universal standard. In summary, we will be looking for other sushi restaurants in Montreal, but we might find ourselves back at Oishii Sushi if we do not find better ones. read more

Very excited to have this as my neighbourhood sushi joint. Solid place for when you're after delicious raw fish, ethereal tempura, and some warm sake to make you extra happy. read more

I've been to Oishii several times, but my most recent visit will be my last. My family took me for my birthday on a Tuesday night. We made a reservation, when we arrived the restaurant was half-empty, but they proceeded to seat us in the exact middle of the restaurant, instead of at a banquette. We were five people, we asked if we could sit at a banquette, response: sure, but it'll be a four-top, and I'm not adding another table. No explanation why not. The restaurant was half-empty. The table (four-top) next to us was just a couple and they got up; we thought the owner might give us half that table, but he proceeded to sit another couple there! At this point we had ordered about $200 worth of food, and we ask him why he didn't give us that table too. He said it was his decision, and we could move to the centre of the restaurant if we wanted. Why would we want to move? We've already ordered, we're seated! We expressed our discontent, he said we could leave it we wanted. He then proceeded to tell us he was the owner, that he was 24, that he had a successful restaurant and didn't need us as clients. Pardon me? We're 5 people on a Tuesday night coming to eat in your restaurant and you treat us with that kind of disrespect? Not wanting to upset my family (they were already upset at this point!) we stuck it out, the food was good but not worth the shame. People like this do not deserve to have successful restaurants. Please do not patronize this restaurant, there are many others that are just as good but treat their clients with respect. read more

Just got our delivery, all was upside down in the bag.. Called the restaurant to inform them of the situation, the reply I had gotten was " we deal with a company for our deliveries, the guy might have dropped the bag ". The person on the phone couldn't care less. We spent quite an amount of money, yet we barley enjoyed the food. I do not recommend !!! Zero customer service! read more
