DH4. Hibachi Chicken & Shrimp
Reggie C.

The food was very good. Ordered online and picked up. No wait, service was good. I had been trying to get here forever to try the food. Did not disappoint.

DH2. Hibachi Shrimp
Lakisha S.

Food was delicious and fresh. Also there was a lot of shrimp too. Love the fact I asked for more broccoli and they gave me more broccoli. Definitely ordering again and again.

N2. Karaage Shoyu Ramen Soup
Marcy B.

It is definitely a family owned restaurant. The booths were worn, however it was clean. It was do peaceful. The ramen I had and chicken kaagare were delicious and do was the sushi. I would definitely go again.the service was great. I have nothing bad yo say.

Really delicious and taste fresh
Andrea F.

The food taste so fresh and delicious. I also had the miso soup and the house sake. Service was great and has beautiful decor.

As the old saying goes, "we eat with our eyes." The appearance of their miso soup pretty much tells you what to expect.

Given that their menu consists of mostly sushi, ramen and Japanese food, they are really a Japanese cuisine and less of a pan Asian place. This place is not run by Japanese people and it shows in their food. For me, miso soup always sets the tone for a Japanese meal and I could tell by the color that it was rather watery even before I tasted it. The poke bowl was a-ok and I didn't particularly care for the taste of the mixes fishes. Shrimp tempura wasn't much better and I didn't care for the dipping sauce that it came with - didn't have much of a flavor. Service was rather nice but I most likely will not return here when I return to Haymarket/Gainesville area.

House soup yum!

Exact review - 4.5/5 FOOD- 1)Curry fish katsu bowl- curry comes on the side. Portion is big and fish fry is crispy but very meaty on the inside. Enjoyed this dish but glad the curry was on the side because it was just ok 2)Crab bake roll- DELICIOUS! It's a spicy california roll with real baked crab on top. Wow I enjoyed this roll! Very generous with the topping! 3)Shrimp tempura roll- boyfriends order, he said he enjoyed it and that it tasted crispy and fresh. 4)Fried cheesecake- not my favorite, cheesecake was green but it tasted like regular cheesecake. Very very creamy. Lots of fried part. Don't think it's something I'd get again SERVICE- exceptional. Seemed to be a chef and a waitress. The chef took my order and checked on us once. Waitress did a very exceptional job at checking, refill, etc... meanwhile also perhaps watching a baby in the back? Didn't bother me and honestly I respect her for being able to multitask like that, it's not an easy thing. AMBIANCE- very quiet and bright. I personally loved it. I started my dine alone and I enjoyed the peace and quiet. Also seemed to be clean which is big for me. I would definitely come back again.

An excellent place for authentic ramen and hibachi! I liked that this was a family-run business. Everything was seasoned well and the food was all fresh. Our server was nice and checked up on us often. They answered all our questions and provided good recommendations on what to eat. The environment is on the quieter and peaceful side. Price is good especially with the amount of food you get. I will definitely be stopping by when I'm in the area again!

Honestly, I can't remember how the food was. I went here months ago and I'm just getting around to writing the review. I want to say the food was decent. Not bad, but not outstanding either.

This place blew my expectations away. For the price, the quality and selection are impressive…read more Ramen, a full sushi bar, hibachi options. This place had it all. The sushi selection was stellar for a buffet. Fresh sashimi and plenty of rolls to choose from, all tasting fresh and well made. The space itself is great and the service was solid and attentive. This is one of those spots where you walk in with normal expectations and leave genuinely impressed. I would absolutely come back.

I set my expectations a little lower before trying Oishi as I was not sure how good an all-you-can…read moreeat sushi restaurant would be. I am happy to say that I was very pleasantly surprised. While the sushi rolls are a bit heavy on the rice, the quality and variety of rolls was very good. Along with a full menu which includes appetizers, soups, ramen and hibachi entrees there is quite a good amount of choices. If a group includes someone who isn't a fan of sushi, there are options for them. My wife and I both ordered a miso soup to start along with beverages and I also ordered a shrimp shu mai appetizer. We then stuck with the sushi which was available at the buffet. Since they state up front that they will charge for "wasted" food, the best recommendation is not to load up your plate but get a smaller number of things at a time and make multiple visits to the buffet. The variety of creative rolls impressed me as well as the quality. I was also impressed with how clean the restaurant was. While I did gaze briefly at the desserts, I didn't try any as I was full from trying the many of the sushi rolls available.
