Beautiful restaurant, located in a very Asian shopping venue…read more Service was very good, and the sushi was top notch. We'll definitely be back to explore some more of this (and the other surrounding shops/restaurants) Thanks to Steve Hofstetter, World Famous comedian, for the recommendation.

(The inside looks like a tavern with a sushi bar) I ordered a few sashimi pieces and also a spicy scallop handroll and California handroll.

I think the server said the only thing they had was mochi ice cream.

This is a surprisingly large restaurant with a nice ambiance and friendly service…read more I ordered the agedeshi tofu and the sushi and sashimi for two. The agedeshi tofu was solid. The sushi-sashimi for two came in a beautiful boat, with a large number of pieces. I think the boat is probably large enough food for three. The sushi itself was quite fresh with a good and varied selection. They have an extensive menu and I look forward to trying some other dishes here.

Could be a little crispier. The service atleast at the bar took a while and doesn't feel like planned out feels kinda chaotic even though like not that many people are here at 7:30pm on a Tuesday. Reused menus are a no go I don't like them. It devalues the image and they are always kind sticky. I'm not sure why or what's going on in the restaurant but there is like fruit flies buzzing around everywhere. I ordered the smoked toro and shaved truffle box. The box came out smoky and smelling great. The box itself doesn't seem to be super clean which was upsetting and the sushi wasn't as cold and fresh as I would have wanted it to be. I feel like this place has a ton of potential but tonight just fell flat for some reason.

The first Oishii is far off my usual routes, so I haven't gotten there though I heard it's good…read more This one opened up near campus last week, much closer to me. And after that soft opening with a regular menu, this week they introduced an all-you-can-eat menu as well. So of course I got there as soon as I could. Quite an extensive menu for AYCE too, though not as big as their standard one. And full of interesting stuff. Nigiri, raw rolls, cooked rolls, deep-fried rolls, specialty rolls, apps, ramen, hibachi, and more. I wanted to try everything, but even though I arrived hungry I just couldn't. Maybe 25 years ago I could have eaten twice as much, and when the students hear about this they will clean them out. It's just down from where Japanese Oriental Restaurant used to be, and I used to save up and pig out there with my friends. Now I eat a bit less, but I still figure I had about $60 worth of sushi for $30. I started with seaweed salad- big portion, and very tasty. Fresh and a little spicy. Then unagi- two big pieces, excellent, tender and flavorful. Then maguro- good, melt in your mouth. Next I tried their "dragon eggs"- deep fried avocado with kani and tuna. OMG. Again, a big portion (two whole avocados, halved and stuffed. Finally, two big rolls: the High Street roll with spicy tuna, and the Seashore roll with salmon, kani, and more. Wow. Big, and tasty. Best sushi in town? No, but up there. Really good. Service was great. They open at noon, at least on weekdays, and I was the first one in. The decor is cool- it's an old house, and they have made it modern but with vintage touches. The bathrooms and waiting area are super cool. There's a bar off to one side, a sushi bar in back, and lots of sleek but comfy seating. Also a huge patio and courtyard out front. Free street parking out front (except during rush hour.) Also a small lot in back. Get here. If you like sushi, or other Japanese food, you'll like it. If you like a bargain, you'll love it. $27, yes, not cheap; but for sushi it's not bad, and for AYCE sushi it is a steal. A cool place to hang out, not far from campus, and drink, and eat good food till you're stuffed.

The AYCE is a good deal and pretty yummy! The menu is actually surprisingly varied, you can get all…read morekinds of things. Service was friendly and pretty quick considering. Atmosphere was modern and soothing. You can get ramen, cooked dishes like tempura, salads, all kinds of things. There's a full bar as well, and areas with cozy or romantic seating. The design was actually pretty cool, you could eat with a group or sit up at a bar by yourself and feel very comfortable either way. The sushi menu itself includes more traditional Japanese sushi, which honestly is what I'd recommend from the AYCE menu. They even have sashimi, which is cut thinly- which is fine, if you want more you can just order more, that prevents excessive waste. Most AYCE places wouldn't offer sashimi anyway. But the traditional sushi, sashimi and rolls were the ones we liked best. The more Americanized rolls with the alternative (non-nori) wraps were not as delicious, in our opinion. We couldn't figure out what it was, whether it was the wraps or an ingredient in the chopped sushi roll fillings. But there's a ton on this menu that was good. Will eat here again. Oh and a short note on large groups- maybe this is not the spot to go with a massive group? It's more of an intimate dining experience, although they do seem to allow big groups. I only mention this because I saw a negative review about slow service for large groups before we went and then the evening we went a group of maybe 10-12 college students impatiently waited by the door to be seated, even though the servers were polite and had to wait for multiple tables to clear at the same time to push together seat such a large group in a smallish restaurant- the patrons kept coming in and trying to sit at random tables before it was their turn. If you have a massive group I'd say split into multiple tables or maybe choose a different, larger or chain restaurant, like El Vaquero or Buffalo Wild Wings? Anyway I hope they left a good tip because the workers were very professional and the group was very large and very impatient.

For someone who doesn't care for sushi too much, I have eaten it twice this month at two different…read morerestaurants. I might be rethinking my stance. My partner loves it and he wanted to grab a few pieces. I can do a nice California Roll but for most people that doesn't count. I think it's raw fish that gets me so I went with the California and it was $10. I was so good and didn't disappoint. Chris went with the Sashimi Maguro (tuna) and it was $9. He lived it and it was a nice treat for him. Would recommend and neat location in German Village on Thurman Avenue. It has the main entrance and is connected thru South Village Grill.
