This location is new and much larger than the Vienna location. Ample parking. They also have a small buffet in addition to the AYCE sushi, apps, hibachi and noodle dishes. Buffet items include : crab legs, crawfish, salt and pepper shrimp, soup dumplings, shumai, edamame, seaweed salad, miso soup, etc. You can scan a QR code to order through your phone or order through a server. Service was fast, even on Mother's Day! Everything was fresh, tasty and our family enjoyed their dinner! read more

Very clean, laid back, good service. The free buffet is mid and the yum yum sauce is absolutely buns but the menu options are pretty extensive for an AYCE place and you can definitely get your moneys worth. Sit with Greg if you can, he's awesome read more

In most AYCE sushi restaurants, the hot foods typically take a backseat. Not at this location. Their rangoons, fried calamari, fried rock shrimps, hibachi, pad thai, clams were all excellent. Their sushi is also fresh and high quality. We've been to both branches ( Herndon and Vienna) and this Herndon branch is bigger and parking is so much easier. The only reason I gave them 4 's is the fact that their late night dinner service is subpar. They close at 11pm and we came at 9pm. Ther buffet was empty and service was pretty inconsistent. Maybe it was just the timing of when we came in but their staff was eating dinner and the manager looked like he had been working the whole day. The server helping us checked on us maybe a couple of times at most. We were waiting to order and our table was empty for an extended period of time. read more

All you can eat but not buffet style (except for some hot foods during dinner). I'm actually not a big fan of sushi but my wife and son are. My daughter prefers cooked foods. There are a lot of options besides sushi. The menu is huge and you just let the waiter know what items you want and they bring it out to you. And the waiter keeps checking on you to order more food. I think there is a 90 minute time limit but that is PLENTY of time. We never felt rushed either. Also their desserts were delicious too. We regret not ordering some of their udon noodle dishes or fried rice dishes. They looked so good. Maybe next time! read more

Amazing price for AYCE! $32/pp for adults and $12/pp for kids They have a wide variety of food selections as well as hot dish options. I loved the nigiri choices. And the appetizers (mango salmon was yummy) The service was super quick and friendly, the place wasn't busy on a weekday night, but everything tasted so fresh read more

This location recently opened and you can definitely tell. The one in McLean is definitely the big brother and has fresher cuts of fish. I noticed the sashimi here came out quickly and tasted a bit off. The nigiri pieces were definitely a lot fresher. There is a wide variety of hot food items from wings to even seafood boil options. The sushi and Asian menu items were served quickly. Prices are reasonable and they had seating for all party sizes. If you're crashing an AYCE sushi Id check out better options in Fairfax or McLean. read more

We wanted to try Sushi Oishii AYCE but wanted to give them time to get settled into their jobs. We were here recently on a Saturday around 4 p.m. There were a few occupied tables as it was still early. The dining room is large, almost cavernous. I can imagine when it's full, it would be noisy. We were greeted and seated promptly. Plus we were given menus showing what rolls and sashimi were available. They do have a few hot entrees plus appetizers and soup. To drink, we both ordered a cup of hot green tea. We started with miso soup and an appetizer of crab rangoon. The miso soup was okay but only lukewarm in temperature. The crab rangoon consisted of 2 small pieces, with each of us having one. It came with a sweet and sour type dipping sauce. It was decent. Then we ordered a 6 piece tuna and avocado roll (that was for me). My husband got some 10 pieces of tuna (maguro) sashimi. On each table is a bottle of low sodium soy sauce, which we appreciated. We each were given a small cup that contained some wasabi and ginger. For seconds, I got a "pink lady roll" which had some tuna, salmon and yellowtail and cucumber in it. My husband got 5 pieces of yellowtail. It costs $32+ per person. Drinks aren't included so there was an extra charge for the tea, plus we added a tip. Our server was attentive and encouraged us to maybe get more than seconds---as he put it "thirds, fourths or fifths". That would have been too much! Keep in mind that if you don't eat everything you order, there is an extra charge for wasted food. We ate everything we ordered. read more

We came for dinner on a weekday and was poorly disappointed. The food, service, everything was not good. Ever since they opened we had wanted to try and unfortunately will not be coming back. Firstly, the food - it was okay and the only reason this is getting 3 stars. They have unlimited sashimi and it was decently fresh. The rolls were okay. Every thing on the appetizer menu that is fried tastes very similar. There is no seasoning. The service - for a weekday dinner with maybe 25% capacity, the service we received was non-existent. We had to continuously wave over our server who was very hard to find. They never came over proactively and never offered to refill our drinks. A lot of the food we ordered were also put in incorrectly and we received items that we didn't order, which normally is fine, we can just re-order. However, the wait time for the food to come out was horrendous. So we ended up just accepting what we were given since we didn't want to have to re-track down our server, re-order, wait another 20 minutes and maybe get the right food item. For an AYCE that puts a time limit and charges for food waste, they were really giving us the short end of the stick. We came hungry and were not satisfied leaving. read more

One of the best all you can eat places i've been too! Prices were decent for the amount of options and food you get per serving. I liked all of the sushi rolls I tried- along with great appetizers! Quick service and a very pretty ambiance. Only complaint is some items took longer than others so you had a good wait time in between ordering for some items. They even had some options for desert- very yummy !!! read more

When it comes to all you can eat concept restaurants,you should be forgiving of some artistic ideas or highest standards. Keeping that in mind I think it's not bad at all. We were there twice and both times no major flaws,service is something between average and good.Noe to main point: fish. My strategy is not to eat rolls or fried rice,but eat nigiri only. I can say that scallops are fresh,salmon cuts are acceptable,even squid was pleasant. Atmosphere is good,space is new and well renovated,tables are not close to each other,so you have space and can comfortably chat. The other location in Vienna is much smaller and more suffocated. All in all,if your demands are reasonable for AYCE quality,this is a good choice. read more

I love an AYCE sushi, so I had to try this new Sushi Oishii location in Herndon. I'll start my review by saying, I don't have the most refined palate when it comes to sushi. I found all the sushis we got to taste great and they tasted fresh (which they don't always at AYCE places). I really enjoyed the spicy girl roll and the rainbow roll. I went with one friend, and we ate about 7 rolls. I also appreciate that they have things that aren't sushi, like gyoza and miso soup. They also have desserts, but we didn't order any. The service was a little slow, we probably could have eaten a bit more if the service was faster. I will definitely be coming back for sushi, maybe with a few more people next time. read more

I went to Sushi Oishii last week with a group of 8 for dinner during soft opening. Quite frankly, they were not ready for any kind of opening at all. We came in a bit before 8 pm and it was pretty packed. I didn't expect perfect service, but I felt like they didn't even meet the bare minimum. Our first orders didn't come until nearly an hour after we got there -- and even then, it was just a few plates and not all of what we had ordered. The next few orders (1-2 plates each time) came out in waves of 15-20 min. We kept having to ask our server for more water and about the status of the food. She said that their ticketing system was not functioning.... So then why would you not write down the orders physically on a sheet of paper?? We had to repeat our orders several times to get more food. Thus, service was not good. Some of the reviewers noted that there weren't enough wait staff to cover the demand. Around 9:30-10 pm, the restaurant was clearing out. There were a few staff standing around the register, but no one was going around to clear the plates and trash off the tables. Food-wise, it was mediocre. Nothing stood out to me. The tempura was very oily. We only got the bulk of our orders around 10 pm (2 hours after we arrived). The only saving grace was the fried cheesecake, which was tasty (hence the 2 stars). I do hope they improve their operations, but until then, I will not be coming back. read more

"We had an incredible dining experience here today! The atmosphere was welcoming, and every dish we ordered was exceptional, each with its own unique and delicious flavor profile. The sashimi was remarkably fresh--you can really taste the quality. A huge shoutout to our server, Harry, who was both professional and friendly. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. To top it all off, we were pleasantly surprised with a cute sheep plushie in a lovely gift bag as a souvenir before we left. Everything was a perfect 10/10. We can't wait to come back!" read more

Can't miss the half-off deal for the soft opening! The interior is beautiful with a nice ambience and good music. We were notified that service might be slow during the soft opening, so we knew what to expect. We were a large group and ordered a lot of sashimi and rolls. The staff tried their best to accommodate us. The fish was fresh and the rolls were tasty. Given the price, I have nothing to complain about. read more

The service was good when we went here for a work lunch. The place wasn't packed at all. We were 7 people, and we ate a lot. You get more than your moneys worth on a visit. With that said, the food was alright. The rice in the sushi was smashed, and ruined the presentation. It didn't look appetizing to be honest. You get a lot of food for what you pay, the service was good on that visit. I'd give it a solid 3.5-star if I could based on the food. I would go back no doubt. Update: I would do the 4-star review now. They have gotten much better with their presentation! And the service is still great. I think it even got better in terms of flavor. read more

All you can eat sushi was amazing. Good quality and quick service. The bar was good as well.

I'm a big sushi lover and since the place is new we decide to check it out. The place is quite spacious, no busts, they have nice tables and generally, place is looking a bit different from other "all you can eat" For larger groups you need to call ahead and make a reservation. What about the food itself, I would place it somewhere in the middle between Sushi Queen and Sushi King( which is permanently closed, and I really liked their food ) We had sashimi, different rolls and appetizers. Generally, not bad, but almost all the rolls contained "crab" and quite a bit of sauce which steals from the taste. Personally me, I didn't really liked their food quality of sashimi, but I saw other people enjoying it. So, I guess it's really personal preference. read more

I wanted to really like this place but was disappointed on our first visit. My sister and I got there about 2ish. Hardly anything left at the buffet side and what little they had the food was cold. There were only a few customers. The place is big but maybe four other tables were being served. The place is practically empty. Others who went to the buffet just looked at the empty trays and left with nothing to bring back to their table. The buffet was not refilled. The waitress is new and we were happy with her. We ordered sashimi. This is the first time I had sashimi that didn't look appetizing at all. The fish were sliced big and some slices in blocks. If they didnt want us to order more, they succeeded. Definitely no passion for making your platter look good. It's sashimi. Slice them thinly and set them in a platter neatly. Anyway, glad I tried them out first before inviting family and friends. BTW, this is on a Sunday, so we paid the dinner price. First impression makes a difference. Will not go back. read more

Nice sushi! I came here for lunch on a Saturday and they were not too busy. We ordered a lot of sashimi, sushi rolls, and some extras like takoyaki, seaweed salad, kani salad, fried Oreo, and fried cheesecake. The portions of sashimi were generous and fresh. My favorites were probably the eel and sweet shrimp. The only one I wasn't a huge fan of were the roe, since they were really salty. The sushi rolls were decent, too. I don't expect top quality sushi from an all you can eat place, but these were pretty good for AYCE. I think the service at this restaurant could be improved. Sometimes it would be a long time before the waiter came back to take more orders or clear our plates. Hopefully the service will get better over time since this location just opened. read more

Sushi Oushii isn't quite ready for prime time. 4 on fish quality. 1 to 2 for service. Being generous with a 3 star rating Our 2nd time at this chain. First time was at the Vienna location a while back for lunch . We kept saying we would try again at dinner when there were more choices but never did. In general we are looking for unique fish versus quantity. Solid offering all around. What's suffering at the moment is service. Yes in soft opening but not enough staff! Things ordered coming in small spurts. I'd order more but server hasn't been by but going to other tables No alcohol yet which im not taking off in my rating... its all about the ordering and receiving process right now. They want to limit the table to 90 mins... so read the menu and order a lot up front to minimize your wait especially if your a big eater. Then track as items never appeared. Rolls we ordered were fill size it appears... sashimi and nigiri ordered is per piece with sashimi only available at dinner. Weird service as I commented. I ordered squid salad and seaweed salad first while we read the menu. We are half way thru everything I ordered with only half served and still no seaweed salad. Hummmm..... Asked the hostess to send our missing waiter over..... see him taking orders elsewhere but not swinging back around to us. I hear the bell from the kitchen frantically ringing..... see hostess run to gelp serve Ohhhh I forgot to mention they asked if we had a reservation when we arrived. So suggest you make one. Assuming they survive soft opening. Server came by and since what I ordered didnt arrive he is reordering.... his comment was ticket lost???? I'm thinking someone grabbed and served it elsewhere. Next time I'm bringing paper to write down what I ordered and when.... I asked what happens if missing items arrive now times 2? We will have leftover which they threaten charges to keep one from over ordering. He assured me not.... will see. Okay missing items reordered here.... YUM! All items have been tasty but its obvious they dont have enough staff. Hostess running orders. Abd now we sit trying to get a check... I've stacked up my plates to signal we are done.... but alas we sit. Lots of folks waiting.... Really want these folks to be successful. Ifs not like its their first location. Not sure where their issues are.... did waiter really order? Was tickets lost? Why arent we going asked if we want more or dessert? Or with things stacked... the check? Hostess noticed and is running the bill. She is trying to be everywhere trying to help. Noticed on check the missing items were ordered. So why not serve. Not a waiter issue it appears Soft opening so pack your patience. We did get half off which for what we got served as soft opening about right in cost. I would have complained at full price. Not sure how long this special running. Fingers crossed they iron this out! read more

It's really good value! You can get sashimi which is really nice because who wants all that rice? The quality is pretty good for AYCE. The menu itself is huge and there's also a small hot bar for snow crab legs, chicken wings, etc. The service is pretty fast too. Jerry was great. I would recommend coming here. read more

sushi quality, poor service sucks! I got there around 6 the place wasn't that busy, but the wait staff is so slow you would think the place was packed. ordered miso soup as a starter it came out after my food. my order was wrong two things I didn't order and missing things I did order. then I had to sit and wait and wait and wait for my 2nd plate. oh don't come here thirsty, you'll die of thist waiting for your water to be filled. the quality of the fish was poor at best. by far the worst experience I've had eating sushi. read more

The interior was pretty much from when this place used to be Bar Louis, including the gigantic bar in the middle and the entrance signage to the restroom. I like the high and exposed ceiling, well lit open concept interior. Food (4/5) The menu is almost the same as the one in Vienna with a variety of sashimi, sushi rolls, miso and other soups, appetizers, rice and noodles. They also have a few selection of hot food items - Beef, salted shrimps, orange chicken, crab legs, sesame balls and sliced oranges, all were pretty good. Sashimi was fresh, sushi rolls were well made - almost the quality of a regular sushi restaurant. The appetizers were a bit disappointing: fried calamari was overly fried and dried. The baked mussels and the mango salmon were mediocre. We also tried the fried Oreo dessert which was delicious, the breading was fried optimally softening the Oreo. Service (4/5) Our waitstaff was attentive who checked in on us during the meal and took care of our orders and water. Food came out fast and correctly except for the dessert (we ordered the fried cheesecake as well but only the fried Oreo came out) When I came into the restaurant, a staff member was on the phone at the reception and did not acknowledge me - After standing and waiting for a few minutes, another staff came by and took me to a table. I can understand why others experienced subpar service here. We were fortunate to have an attentive waitstaff who took care of us. Overall I would give this AYCE sushi restaurant a try. read more

Food - surprisingly good. Sashimi was fresh and the chef placed everything on the plate for great presentation. Cooked shrimp was cut in half so the guts were nicely removed, haven't seen that done in any buffets before. Fried calamari was over cooked and batter was very oily. I only had 2 rolls, which were good. Greg who assisted was very attentive. Interior is very spacious, pretty decor. TV and bar in the middle. Need to improve on the cleanliness, I little bit, seats with crumbs, plastic plates with stains, but otherwise would recommend. read more

Sushi Oishii AYCE - Fresh sashimi - Japanese Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

I wish I could give a great review on the food and service but sadly, I never tried it. Instead, this review is on what I did not receive. I called late on a Friday night for take out bc I knew they would be closing soon. It was 10:25pm on a Friday and their website said they close 11pm. I knew I had maybe 5-15min to order with most restaurants doing last call on the kitchen 15-30 min prior to closing hours. After calling and being greeted I request to order take-out. The person who answered sounded like a young man and was nice in his greeting but gave me the "oh well our kitchen closes in 4 min so..." line, leaving me hanging and expecting me to be ok with that response. I wasn't. So I replied by asking "so you're saying the kitchen IS open and is taking orders for 4 more minutes, or not?" I asked for two reasoned, 1) I needed the clarification since I was left confused with his statement to me. And 2) I wanted him to be aware that he just told a customer that yes the kitchen is open but since it's closing soon, we hope you don't order. With my question back to him, he realized he was in the wrong bc he agreed to take my order, which was two rolls and a sashimi. Nothing outrageous. After ordering I was left in silence for a bit and then he said "hold on, I need to check something with my manager". I could hear bits of the conversation but what I clearly heard was "so should I accept the order". He was obviously discussing my order with his manager to which the manager of course told him to take my order bc the kitchen WAS still open. When the man came back on the line, he asked me to repeat my order. This man had no intention of taking my order and assumed his manager would back him up bc he didn't take or write down my order in the first place. I was so irritated by the whole interaction I decided not to give them my business. They had great reviews and I really wanted to try them, but I just I couldn't believe the audacity of the man on the phone with me. It's absurd that the person on the phone who tried to shirk me off, thought it was ok. Not once, but twice! First when he initially told me the kitchen was closing soon and hoping I'd be ok with that and hang up, and then again after taking my order to only put me on hold and check with his manager. I've worked in restaurants and bars for 15 years and totally understand wanting to get out early on a Friday night or ANY night for that matter and at any job, who doesn't?! But if you work at an establishment with posted operating hours (especially the hospitality industry) then expect to work and operate within those hours. read more

My best friend took me here on a Saturday around 6. This place was PACKED, so expect a wait if you come at this time, or call to get on the wait-list There's a small buffet included with the dinner, which includes crab legs, general chicken, beef ribs, and chicken nuggets. We ordered a few appetizers. She enjoyed the avocado salad, and shumai, and I ordered the crab ragoon which was delicious. I also ordered pad Thai and the hibachi steak. The pad Thai was decent, but definitely not quite the same as a Thai restaurant. The hibachi steak was good with plenty of veggies, tho I think I like the steak at Kanji better. But what we're really here for is the sushi right? And the sushi is quality. The nigiri was fresh and tasted great, with a good rice balance. She got the Mexican roll which I tried some of and enjoyed. I had also ordered the volcano roll which was delicious. There were a couple items that we had ordered that we never got, but we were pretty stuffed so didn't worry about it. I feel like how busy it was probably affected that. Dessert, I tried the fried cheesecake, and the fried Oreo. They were not bad as a way to finish the meal. Overall definitely a place I'd return to, tho probably during a less busy time. read more

Sushi Oishii All You CARE to Eat (AYCE) is up and running after their "soft opening." Like any restaurant these days, the Muzak was ridiculously loud on arrival. How anyone can think or carry a conversation is beyond me. The maître d like his colleague at the Vienna Sushi Oishii had no problem turning down the noise. My waiter was attentive, personal, and professional. I prefer sashimi and I was able to order lunch off that menu at the evening price. Only ten dollars more to avoid a carbohydrate (rice) overload. The miso soup was a perfect starter on a cold day. The seaweed salad was fresh and abundant. I had three plates of all the sashimi offered. For the last two orders I enjoyed different variations from the menu. There is a large and wide variety on offer. Not to be crass; however, the price for the sashimi is fair considering the amount that I ate; the slices were fresh, thick, and full of flavor. I recommend Sushi Oishii Herndon for enjoyable and healthful dining. PS - feel free, no matter what restaurant you are at, to politely ask to have the Muzak turned down too - cheers! read more

The sushi was pretty good quality for an all you can eat place. A server records the order on an IPad, and then the food arrives afterwards. Everything is made to order which makes all the difference. There were tons of different fancy rolls available. Also has a good sashimi menu but note they only serve sashimi for dinner. Presentation was nice which always makes the food tastier. Everything was fresh. Definitely worthwhile for my sashimi loving crew. I will note the crab sushi was a disappointment as it came out actually being imitation crab. We also tried the ramen which was true ramen noodles and was not flavorful. For some reason, it took forever for the underwhelming fried Oreos to come out. We went on a weekday night though, and despite it not being crowded, we still had to search for and flag down the server to order often. No big deal for us, but I can imagine on a busy weekend, ordering would be slow and so would the food. read more

The food was great, the service was okay, but there was some confusion in the kitchen with lost orders. As we were not in a hurry, and given staffing constraints, we were patient and understanding. I would not try to have a meal there if I was concerned about time, but for a relaxed meal, this was fine read more

This was my first time here. The sashimi was great, and the fried Oreos were great! Definitely come check them out!!

Came here with my extended family and this place was huge. Their buffet selection was extensive and I'm usually not one for buffet style places however the quality of their sushi and other dishes were great. The service was decent and the price was very reasonable. Great place if you're feeling a Japanese style buffet. read more
