    Consistently quality, fresh sushi and excellent customer service. Well worth the drive from any side of town Stopped in for a an a la carte treat, didn't realize there are items offered only on the a la carte Kei is great, always!!

    2 sushi rolls but one was not rolled good that it was falling apart after dipping in soy sauce.

    What an average and rather disappointing experience vs other times. We came in for dinner. Service was slow but it was busy. We ordered 2 of the Hawaiian Chicken. They have a lunch price and a dinner price which is of course more expensive. We have ordered it at lunch before and enjoyed it. When we received it (as a dinner for more money) whoever scooped up the chicken to put in the pineapple went so skimpy that it was a smaller than when we ordered it for lunch! We also ordered a couple of rolls. One was falling apart when picking up. I had all you could eat and I enjoyed it but again getting our servers attention was hard. This visit was not impressive at all.

    Rolls

    Overall restaurant was clean (our menus were slightly sticky and could have used a wipe-down) and was dimly lit. All of the employees were friendly and checked on us often. The sushi chef was quick with making rolls and did a great job interacting with us as we were sitting at the sushi bar. All of the sushi was balanced with the fish to rice ratio. The fish was fresh and of good quality. I definitely will be returning soon.

    Literally the best fresh fish I've ever had. Mussels and raw nigiri are my favorite. My favorite rolls is probably the Ninja and Alligator. But I live trying something different too. The salmon skin is so good. Sometimes I just want the Sashimi. It's that fresh! It's a small restaurant, so make a reservation for a party of more than 5 or 6 at least a day before. Just fyi

    First visit to Kei sushi in Carson City. There's also a location in Reno. This is a small restaurant off of route 50 in Carson. It's in a shopping mall, strip mall. There are about 20 tables and the sushi bar available for seating. We were seated promptly and asked if we were having all you can eat which is available for $33.99 at dinner time. There's also a selection of signature cocktails, wine and beer. We enjoyed a Merlot and Zinfandel. We were a group of four so we ordered to share. There is an extensive menu of rolls, hand rolls, appetizers. All you can eat is unlimited appetizers and rolls plus ice cream for dessert. The sushi was served promptly and everything was fresh and delicious. I especially like the baked mussels and the grasshopper roll. We tried probably 10 different roles so they were all good. I recommend this restaurant for fresh and tasty sushi. It is also open for lunch.

    I have yet to eat inside the restaurant, but it's always clean and the staff are always friendly. I was greeted for a to go order. This was my 2nd time picking up from here and both times the food has been amazing. I got the Fuji Mountain Roll this trip. It was so delicious. Lots of yummyness in this roll. Will eventually go to eat inside. I love this place for sushi. Go try ya some

    Sooooooo good. Loved sitting at the counter and watching them make the sushi rolls. A food artist. Very helpful and friendly. This is an all u eat sushi. But 1 or 2 were enough for me, so i ordered ala cart. We arrived after 8pm and the place was packed. Good sign its good and it def was great. Great service.

    I love going to Kei because the service is always great, their nigiri is my favorite from an all you can eat spot in town, and they have a great selection of rolls with lemon slices. This was my first time at the Carson location, and I appreciated how it was a more intimate vibe than the restaurant in Reno. I am so happy we can get great sushi when visiting family in Carson!

    The service at Kei is decent. Nothing over the top but they do check in on you and despite being constantly busy the food rolls out within a reasonable time. The rolls and nigiri are all very tasty. They have great fun combos like the salmon lover which is a texture dream if you like that, packs a little crunch into the roll on top. We liked almost everything we got which lately when I've ordered rolls at restaurants they have seemed bland. I did not have that experience with Kei. We had to wait an hour since we didn't have a reservation. They were up front about the wait. What it tells me as we say watching is the place is crazy busy which is usually a great sign. I'd suggest to make a reservation if you plan to go!

    (From bottom to top) Volcano roll, 2 Fujii Mountains rolls,2  Samurai rolls, Tom roll, and 2 Philly hand rolls

    Are employees required to wear mask?

    No. The server we had did not have masks on. Nor did the gal at the front counter.

    Fun to try this place after having it on my list forever. I didn't realize it was a fast casual…read moreplace so we walked in thinking we would be waited on...whoops! No big deal, just something to mention. We started with the kimchi fries- great flavor but the fries were hard to grab without using utensils. Wish larger fries had been used....kind of felt like we got the bottom of the batch! Variety of noodle and rice dishes. I needed more heat so I asked for their chili oil to up the heat. I wish the water offered had ice or was cold. Also wish utensils and napkins were more available. Service was fast and friendly - we even got some potstickers extra free of charge since the items we ordered came out all at different times.

    This place came highly recommended to me by a local and then when I saw it was on Yelp's top 100…read moreplaces in the country I knew I had to try it! We stopped by on a Sunday, which is their Dim Sum day. What I really like about this place is that they only prep a limited number of items and when they're done, that's it! So if you want to enjoy their food, you need to get here early! We came at 11:20am (they opened at 11:00am) and it was packed already. By 12:30pm they were out of a few items already. We got the chicken dumplings, crab rangoons, and Khao Sai with chicken. Wow, just incredible all around. The items were served quickly and piping hot. We sat at the bar so we could peek around the corner into the kitchen and watch them prep and slang these items with such speed and precision. I haven't found many places that serve Khao Soi so I knew I needed to get it. The broth was so rich with a spicy complex flavor and a generous portion of noodles. I got the steamed chicken while my friend got the fried chicken - honestly, we probably could've split it, especially since we got the other dim sum items. The owner is amazing, so friendly and really wants everyone to feel welcome. He knew so many people and it makes me want to be a regular here (too bad I don't live in Reno!) The owner is expanding his offerings and occasionally does a drag brunch, which seems really fun! Do yourself a favor and stop by here early and enjoy the amazing food!

    I've been to Oishi Sushi twice now, and while the food is decent, both visits had…read moreservice/atmosphere issues that made it hard to enjoy my meal. On a previous visit, I was seated in the back of the restaurant, which I was fine with at first, until I realized that's also where staff eat. One employee sat down near me on his break and was loudly eating with his mouth open, shoveling food in with his chopsticks right in my line of sight. It was uncomfortable and honestly pretty gross, to the point that I asked to move tables. On my most recent visit, the service was again disappointing. After my drink was dropped off, my server basically disappeared -- no check‑ins, no options offered, and it took a long time to get anyone's attention for simple things like refills or the check, even though it wasn't that busy. The sushi itself is fine and the prices are reasonable, but between being seated next to an employee loudly eating his break meal and the consistently inattentive service, it's hard to relax and feel like a valued customer. With other sushi options in the area, I'd rather go somewhere that feels a bit more professional and attentive.

    Best sushi in Northern Nevada!! Oishi sushi really brings amazing flavor and over the top customer…read moreservice. We were delighted that we could order sushi and other Japanese food items. They only have wine, beer and sack but it was all yummy stuff. Their presentation of their food was super fun and interactive. We are coming back next Thursday. Super excited!!
