Oishi Sushi

I highly recommend Oishi. I’ve been here 3 times for the all you can eat sushi and I loved it every time! The food is great and the service is great. The older waitress is very nice & funny sometimes too. I can’t wait to go back again soon!

A small place but worth checking out! It’s 20 $ per person all you can eat with appetizers. The service is great and genuine. The owner got to know us by name. The bring free edamame for you and its hot and salty!

Went here based on other Unilocal reviews. Yum! I began with calamari. It was nut overcooked. Nicely breaded and hot. Then my son and I had some rolls and sushi. It was really good. I had asparagus roll, sweet potato roll, and a roll with salmon skin and salmon. I also had smoked salmon sushi, spicy scallop sushi, and tuna sushi. My son had rainbow, California, and dynamite rolls. The spicy dynamite roll was too much for him, so we had to take it home. I’ll unspicy it later. The wait staff was very efficient and friendly. We did go at 3 p.m. on a Friday, and there was no wait. The AYCE was worth the price! I’m going back with my sushi friend to introduce her to this place (unless she already knows about it).

Excellent service and great food. Fresh and definitely one of the better sushi restaurants in the area. I met the owner, Charlie, the first time I went in and he’s since always greeted me with a kind handshake and asked me how I’m doing. Very personal touch and they make you feel welcome. AYCE is a great deal and the longest I’ve ever waited here is only about 15 minutes. Overall, a great little place with delicious food and service that makes you feel at home. I’ll be going back very soon. Keep it up!

One warning– You’re in for a LONG wait.
Party of 2 went for AYCE lunch. Including my table there were 6 tables occupied. Of those 6, 3 were finishing up and no longer ordering as they left soon after I was seated. That left 3 tables ordering food. I submitted my first order page which wasn’t large at all– couple appetizers, 4 rolls, and 8 sushi. The appetizers came out in about 5 minutes. The sushi order took 30 MINUTES to come out. Also note know there were 2 sushi guys behind the bar making sushi the entire time.
I then submitted a 2^nd order page of sushi thinking the first order was a fluke. NOPE. Again 30 minutes for an even smaller order– 2 rolls and 5 sushi. Are you kidding me? Also by that time another table had left leaving only my table and another table. Two tables total.
It took 1 hour to get two small sushi orders. I wanted to order one more time but really didn’t want to wait another 30 minutes. Maybe this is their strategy. Just take forever serving the food. Save money on food costs. Eventually the customer will leave out of frustration.
I have never seen such incompetence and blatant attempt to cheat the customer.

Came here for AYCE dinner and was very pleased with what we got! I stuck to the nigiri, which was all fresh and nicely prepared, and felt it was well worth the $ 20. My boyfriend got a couple of rolls and was satisfied with those as well. Service was prompt and it was actually kind of empty for a Thursday night. But Tuesday and Thursday nights have 2 for 1 beers, so we will definitely be coming back soon and often!

Took my 11 year old «Spicy tuna roll lover» to here for lunch. You know what, totally worth the lunch all you call eat price. He easily finished 5 order of spciy tuna roll and Edamame and pot sticker and other rolls.
Services were great. We had a big table for 3 families. They served fairly quickly after we ordered every single time. My younger one was the only one ordered the stir fired noodles instead of eating the sushi. Her noodle tasted really good.
We like the other rolls as well. The fish tasted fresh and juicy. The party was pretty happy here.

The sushi was excellent! My son ordered from the special all you can eat menu, and he very happy. I ordered a beef dish that was also very tasty. I had to get a take home box, because the portion was so big.

YUM YUM YUM!
I came here on a Friday around 6 for dinner with a friend. They offered an AYCE sushi deal for $ 19.95 at dinnertime (it’s around 16.95 for lunch time). The AYCE menu is not a big as the full menu, but still had tons of sushi, maki, and even appetizers to choose from.
I was REALLY nervous about my first experience, as they do charge for any food you can’t finish. I tried to order conservative and got two rolls and an appetizer. The gyoza app was great! 5 dumplings, loaded with pork and served with a sauce on the side.
My rolls were also good. The two I chose were the Chicago Bears roll and a Mexican roll. The Bears was much better than the Mexican roll. Both had tempura shrimp, the bears one was topped with avocado. The Mexican roll had peppers in it and was topped with guacamole. For some reason, the Mexican roll just tasted too dry to me, with all the veggies and rice. The guac didn’t seem to help it. The rolls were a good size and full with fresh ingredients, so I think I’ll just need to choose again. My dining pal ordered about double what I did and was able to finish it all, so I think I could go for a little more next time! It was a good value though, even with how I ordered. I believe the total of my food without the deal would’ve been around $ 29, so I still did ok. My friend enjoyed all of her food as well!
The free edamame served with the meal was yummy too!
I’ve been trying to find friends to bring back here soon. I want to try more of the menu and give them the 5 star rating, because I do think that potential is there!
** restaurant is along the 63^rd side of the strip mall.**

By far, the best AYCE sushi place I’ve been to! Service was great. Fish was fresh and delicious, especially the salmon! I also liked having not as much rice in the sushi we ordered. Compared to Hokkai, I would much rather return here. For $ 19.35 dinner time, it’s AYCE and I don’t think you can get any better than that. I plan on coming back here soon!

What a great little Japanese restaurant! We went for AYCE lunch. Started with great service and the best hot tea I’ve had since I moved here from Seattle. The AYCE menu was extensive, and the dinner menu is much larger which made me wish we came for dinner. The price was just over $ 16.00 each. the appetizers were very good.
The fish was Very fresh, the rice was delicious and the fish to rice ratio was perfect! The roles were flavorful and not smothered with sauce, which is what some places do to cover the taste of their bland fish.
Had a nice chat with the very owner, who is very in tune to his customer’s needs and a pleasant conversationalist and world traveler.
If you don’t want to pay a fortune for great sushi, give them a try. We will definitely be back soon and often.

One of the 3 AYCE sushi places I’ve been in the neighborhood. Compared to Hokkai I feel a lot more comfortable going here especially because of the constant stares I get at Hokkai by the waiters who watch you eat every piece. Quality wise I would say this place is better than Hokkai but that being said, this is Chicago so fresh sushi is not something I could expect at the price of $ 23 (including tax and tip). Might go again

Vary friendly, nice service. A good vibe with soothing music. The food was great! The roles are huge but worth the money for all you get! Not to crowed but that is good in that restaurant because you can get more service. All in all a great place to eat for sushi lovers!!!

Because they named Oishi, which means delicious in Japanese, I was curious how Oishi food they serve. Yes, it is a nice AYCE sushi place, I agree. It is probably better than some of those typical AYCE sushi restaurants. At least my husband liked here. I am a bit more picky when it comes to Japanese food and I’ve got some mixed feeling. Price is great but some non sushi appetizers were not real to me. Salad was good but others were not quite real. To be fair, I hate most of AYCE sushi place, so giving 3 is a big deal for me. I really liked the staffs here, though.

Went there for the first time today. Food was great, owner was friendly.
Spicy tuna, philly, AAC w/​cream cheese, sweet potato roll.
Asked for roll sans eel sauce, owner guessed correctly that we thought the eel sauce was made of eel. We now know it is not :)

The food was good and the service was great. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend for the sushi lovers out there. It had a nice tranquil atmosphere and was very family friendly.

Delicious sushi and calming atmosphere.
I come here for the all you can eat sushi.
Charlie’s the owner and is very nice and Lloyd the server rules. Would eat here again! A++!!

Me and my coworkers came here in the spur of a Friday simply because my two co-​workers hardly ever eat sushi and we wanted to leave the office for a while cause it was PAYDAY-​FRIDAY!!! But onto how the restaurant is, we went there for the sushi buffet which is approximately $ 16 for all you can eat sushi. They had the typical maki as any other sushi buffet place in Chicago such as the spider roll, spicy tuna roll, california roll. As well as all types of sushi from salmon, tuna, octopus and the typical others nothing much fancy. The fish wasn’t the most fresh i ever ate, but it was decent. The time we went it was empty shockingly we were the only people in there. Most likely due to the construction outside.
Overall, I would go again it wasn’t bad and no need to wait like in Chicago north side buffets.

Excellent Service freshest seafood great creativity 2^nd time visiting in 5 days had to bring the kids !!

A-​OK. I lived next door so I had to stop in. AYCE is always something I’m down for. The sushi was alright. They had a good roll with Jalepenos and yellowtail I believe. I may have been one of the first customers… cause my spicy salmon roll was actually sweet and not spicy… kinda random. But from my experience, some of these AYCE places make wrong rolls so whatever. Service was good too.
Kind of hard to see inside the place from the outside. I think they have shades that darken the windows… I’d recommend getting rid of those cause when people drive by they can’t see if the place is busy or not. My sister’s bf drove by and wanted to go in but the place appeared closed so he didn’t go in… just a friendly tip.
