    I normally love this place! I've been here about a dozen times with my friends, family, and boyfriend. It's usually a wonderful experience but this past visit was a disaster. I have a weird (anaphylactic) allergy to lobster and scallops, but not shrimp (take it up with my allergist, I can't explain why). I ordered a side of hibachi shrimp with my meal to share with my boyfriend and we made it clear to both the server and chef that I had this allergy. The chef came to cook for us and confirmed my request to have the shrimp cooked separately from the lobster the couple next to us ordered. Long story short, while he prepared the seafood in separate areas- he cooked them at the same time with the same utensils. Like used his spatula to flip the lobster then the shrimp and vice versa. We spoke with management regarding this and while they did prepare a new side of shrimp for us for free; they were not apologetic at all. The owner came out, was like "what's the issue? is shrimp not the same as lobster?" and treated us as if we were a nuisance when they assured us they could accommodate my allergy request from the start! I didn't even eat any of the "new" shrimp because of how uncomfortable I was; epipens are expensive and having a reaction just isn't worth it. It was just very disheartening; my boyfriend and I come here almost every other weekend and always spend over a $100. We tip generously and have even recommended this place to our family and friends. The food is wonderful, but I just feel very uncomfortable with the way this was handled.

    Hibachi Sirloin Steak

    My boyfriend brought me here for a date. It was great! It was my first time getting hibachi so I wasn't too sure what to expect. We ordered the sirloin steak with miso soup and salad. It was an almost overwhelming portion of food. The picture does not do it justice. At the beginning the server also tossed broccoli in the air for us to catch with our mouths! I will definitely be back. I may try the hibachi lunch special next time.

    After three hours in a car driving to Champaign my husband and I were excited to get out of the car. Oishi was our chosen stop. We both ordered from the lunch special menu. I ordered salmon and scallops. This came with soup, salad, fried rice, and vegetables. My husband got the sushi and sashimi lunch special. The salmon and scallops were excellently seasoned and cooked. The sushi roll was underseasoned but was otherwise fine. Everything was great until I went to the bathroom. As I was leaving, I saw an employee leave the bathroom without washing his hands. He then went back to work serving food. I found this beyond disgusting. The food was great but after this I have trouble recommending this restaurant.

    I had a very lovely time at Oishi tonight! The hibachi show was great, our chef was sweet, and our service was excellent. For the price, it's definitely worth it because you get sooo much food. I brought leftovers enough for another whole meal. I think their seafood is probably the best. Try the scallops and shrimp! Food is quite salty though so be ready for that. Also, be ready to spend a bit of time there because it takes time for them to cook everything. They do special events for birthdays so if you let them know it's someone's birthday, they'll bring out a treat and sing happy birthday, too!

    Good hibachi place in Champaign. We had a larger group; the hibachi chef was entertaining and the food was very good. The fried rice especially was really tasty. Aside from the hibachi meal, we also had some sushi to start. Unfortunately, there was nothing special about the sushi... it wasn't bad, but it wasn't very flavorful.

    Oishi is a pretty standard hibachi restaurant. The chefs are always friendly and like to share their sake. It's always a fun meal coming here with a big group. You get a lot of food for the price, I always have leftovers. Make sure you get extra yum yum sauce when you come.

    Service was poor, food was mediocre, and my wife and I were both violently ill the next day. Steer clear

    So this place has all the ingredients to be a top notch experience buttt just fell bland .... The…read morespace itself is a vibe , ambiance , service & food presentation were good but our food lacked flavor and spice overall . Our "spring rolls " , were actually fried egg rolls served with a side of ketchup .. eww On a positive note they have some great private party dining spaces as well. They also serve single use mouthwash in the restrooms which I found to be a nice touch .

    I went to order pick up at this restaurant and the phone line is disconnected. Ok, mildly…read moreinconvenient. I ordered the tempura mushrooms and beef udon. The mushrooms were fresh and hot. I really enjoyed them. The beef udon looked really good... but I took a bite and the beef was really gristly and chewy. It definitely looked better than it tasted. But hey I paid for it so I ate it. Then I went to go heat up the rest and saw there had been a moth in my soup the whole time, pretty gross. Also even though they are still advertising DoorDash deliveries they are not accepting them prompting customers to show up after paying for the meal and not having anything for the drivers to pick up. I couldn't recommend this place unless you like eating bugs
