Solo lunch dates are my favorite way to discover hidden gems, and Oishii did not disappoint. I came in craving two very specific things: chicken yakisoba and yellowtail hamachi. Luckily, Oishii had both. This is definitely a hole-in-the-wall sushi spot, but honestly, those are usually the places with the best food. I started with the miso soup, then ordered the chicken yakisoba and yellowtail hamachi. The yakisoba instantly took me back to Little Tokyo in Los Angeles...it had that authentic flavor that's surprisingly hard to find. The yellowtail was incredibly fresh, buttery, and exactly what I was hoping for. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and everything hit the spot. Oishii has officially earned a spot on my favorites list, and I'll definitely be back the next time a yakisoba craving hits. read more

Still love Oishii! I'm pleased to report that after coming here for years, the food quality and service is still just as good as it was in the beginning. I love that they offer lunch specials even on Saturday. We ordered the hibachi chicken for my 19 month old twins and they devoured it. Toddler approved! We also ordered the takoyaki and 3 roll sushi lunch with a Boston roll, rock & roll, and dynamite. Everything was well made and delicious! Service was great and they were very accommodating to our boys. They loved interacting with our server. Absolutely recommend! read more

Overall: the fish is fresh and they have a variety of Japanese dishes beyond sushi and ramen. This is not the most authentic place but good enough and it hit my sushi craving! Service: attentive service, was checked in on frequently, they provided a small sample of food of fried crab stick on the house which was nice. Food: We tried the sashimi dinner, avocado salad (similar to their included salad but with avocado), dragon roll, volcano roll and spicy salmon roll. All good! read more

I get takeout from here on a weekly basis, the food is always incredible with great prices and top-tier customer service

This business has been here for over 10 years and this is our first time and definitely not the last. Came here on a Friday for dinner. Place is quite small but we were greeted and seated right away. Ordered the Shrimp Tempura roll for appetizer and it came out fresh! However, it does not come with the pickled ginger and wasabi and I had to ask for our server for them. She came back with only the ginger, oh well, we still enjoyed it. My husband got the Chicken Katsu Curry Rice and it taste like an authentic Japanese curry! Very flavorful! I opted for the Chicken Hibachi which comes with vegetables but I substituted the fried rice for noodles. I combined the veggies to the noodles and it was perfect! The chicken was tender and tasty! While devouring our dinner, I noticed more customers are coming in. I'm not surprised they are still doing well and have been in the business for so long, they served delicious meals! read more

I quite enjoyed this meal !!! We came here on a whim after seeing a post about Jacksonville's Japanese curry scene and it's one of the places we haven't tried. It was a big plate but kinda expensive. Favorite thing we enjoyed was the sashimi. YUMMMMYYY!!! Not many places offer yellow tail belly and salmon belly! Sooooooo amazing i'm on cloud 9. Big pieces ! We were offered a complimentary kani croquet so good ! i would order that ! The curry comes with clear soup. One of the best clear soups ever. Full of flavor ! Not watery! We would probably order another one instead of sharing lol. Everyone was super nice and polite here which really does make the food taste so much better always. It's a cute little place ! We will come back for another meal for sure! More sashimi please ! read more

Went for dinner and was surprised by the large selection from Sushi to Ramen to Curry and Hibachi meals. The Hibachi Chicken was tender and had a nice flavor to it. Served with rice, veggies, a salad, and soup, it is a good value for the cost. Service was super fast for serving even though restaurant was busy and only one wait staff. The Ramen was plentiful but a little unusual for my taste. Might have been the fresh spinach throwing me off as I'm not a big spinach' fan. But, they did have the Shichimi/Togarishi seasoning on the table. If you know you know, . Curry sauce was a little on the sweet side and somewhat chunky. Spice level was good, but not my favorite dish. I would definitely recommend. Something for everyone. read more

Was first in the door. Waitress was friendly. Seated me and I said I was waiting on 1. I knew what we wanted after a couple minutes so caught her eye and she came over. Ordered fried gyoza, chicken Karagaa, hurricane roll and jalepeno roll (deep fried). First I loved all the various condiments on the table!The gyoza was very good. But then... no sauce on the chicken karagaa which itself was dry and tasteless; sushi seemed fresh and as ordered but just unremarkable. The wasabi was very tame - I like mine to burn my nose which didn't come close even when I ate a bit by itself. Marking it off my list. Been there done that. I really want some great chicken karagaa!!!! read more

The BEST Sushi in Jacksonville!! Service is amazing, she always so kind and treating every guest like family, with fast service. They are always giving free apps and deserts. The atmosphere is so relaxing with instrumental music playing in the background. The food is absolutely incredible - we always get the clear soup, salad, Summer Roll, Naruto Roll, and the Yellowtail Jalapeño Roll. The quality is so fresh. We drive 30 minutes out of the way just to come to this specific one. Can't wait to come back!! read more

Basic mom and pop place. Rainbow roll: C. Sloppily executed and not as tasty as it should be. Stingy on the fish. Eel roll: B. T'was Ok. Chirashi: C. There were supposed to be 15 pieces of seafood, but 2 pieces were actually some sort of sweetend egg. The tuna was definitely not fresh. Service: A. The waiters were responsive and helpful. read more

Tammy and I went together here after having our manicures and pedicures. The Waitress did not communicate well at all. They put my sushi on Tammy's plate. Really? I asked if I could have another plate for my sushi. The clear soup was some of the best I've ever had. The hot Sake was good and hot. The atmosphere was good as well. I would return, but I would make it very clear that I want my sushi on a separate plate. I would come back. read more

I've been here several times ever since the last review completed in 2015. So now, it's time for an update in 2020. As usual, great place to get really good sushi, ramen and japanese curry. I've always been impressed with the staff of this establishment. Their presentation is always great and their fish always tasted fresh and clean. Came here with a girlfriend that I havent seen for almost a year. This is our go-to spot everytime we meet up because we both like this establishment. The decor and ambience is always great and the staff is attentive and friendly as always. As a starter, we chose Takoyaki and for our entree was the Sushi for two (2). Takoyaki - definitely a good starter if you like seafood condensed into a ball with some good sweet sauce and fish flakes. Sushi for Two - you get 10 pieces of sushi (nigiri - fish on top of rice), 24 pcs sashimi (raw fish by itself), 1 regular roll (your choice), 1 chef special roll (your choice), 2 soups and 2 salads. As a regular roll, we choose the Rock N Roll and as for the chef special, the Golden Dragon Roll. The Rock N Roll consisted of shrimp tempura, cream cheese, crabmeat, avocado and tobiko (the orange fish roe). The Golden Dragon Roll consisted of eel, avocado topped with spicy crab (shredded), tobiko, crunch and special sauce. Both absolutely tasteful! Everything was delicious and fresh. My absolute favorite had always been the sashimi and nigiri as I always liked the taste of fresh raw fish. We both are never disappointed and the staff also treated us with two fried oreos as dessert (by that time, we both were already full). Overall and as usual, definitely would be a great place to eat authentic sushi, ramen and japanese curry. We will continue to visit this establishment in the future. read more

Oishii is a nice Japanese restaurant offering a variety of freshly made sushi, ramen, and rice dishes. They also have an excellent variety of starters. They are located in a small strip mall but don't let it fool you they have plenty of seating and nice clean bathrooms. You are always welcomed warmly and the service is very good. We usually always order sushi and we have never been disappointed. If you haven't been to Oishii you should give them a try. It's a nice restaurant in Jacksonville's Tinsel Town. read more

Food here is incredible, nice ambience. The service was perfect. Returning again very soon to try many of their nice offerings.

When in the area, there are an abundance of dining options. I have to be honest, I had never been in this dedicated shopping plaza until my date night with bae. Oishii wasn't perfect, but the sushi here is spot on! The space is much smaller than I anticipated. Like many Asian restaurants, you cannot see inside when standing outside. However, the glare during sunset is brutal, and I can see why they shade the windows to cool down the space. If you're facing the front door when it opens, be prepared to be blinded. You have been warned! Let's get down to business. Oishii specializes in sushi and that's what I recommend you stick with. They have the classic cooked and raw rolls, deep fried rolls, hand rolls, chef's specialty rolls (with pictures), and even sushi boats. Caterpillar Roll - Spicy crab, cream cheese, avocado, but the seaweed salad on top was the kicker and the most scrumptious. Really enjoyed this roll thanks to the fresh bite from the seaweed. Lion King Roll - Shrimp tempura, cucumber, soy paper, and topped with extremely delicious salmon. The special sauce paired wonderfully with the fresh fish. Zero complaints with the sushi. For me, the lack in star is because of the kind of run down atmosphere. The bathroom needed a touch up, the booths were old, and the menu were sticky. Good food is good food, but sometimes you need the chic ambiance to amplify the overall experience. Solid 4 stars all around with food and service. read more

Super friendly, kind people. Great quality food. I would definitely recommend this nice restaurant over any sushi bars in Jacksonville.

Tuna was fresh and seemed like good quality to me. The curry doesn't look like much, but was better than expected. Since there was an option for duck katsu, I went for it of course. The breading was crispy, not as fluffy as I like, but pretty good. The meat also seemed a bit thin, but the flavor was fantastic. It was a successful duck katsu. Naturally, the curry was not spicy enough, but I WD-40'd that with some sriracha and hot pepper mix. Other than that, the flavor, contents, and thickness are all excellent. There's some meat in the curry too. The white rice was also a softer kind more fitting for Japanese style curry that absorbs the sauce nicely. The clear soup they offered as an appetizer also has a nice flavor. If they just put noodles in this, I'd probably be happy. I didn't order udon or ramen this time, but I'll have to come back for that. read more

I was going out to celebrate my birthday this weekend, and prior to seeing a movie, I wanted to grab a quick bite to eat with my friends. Going inside, there wasn't a giant wait, and we were able to order right away. For dinner, we ordered 1 side salad, 1 miso soup, 1 fire dragon roll, 1 fusion roll, tonkotsu ramen, warm sake, and 1 other roll I cannot identify. Moving on with my review, neither of us felt truly satisfied with the food and service that we recieved that day. The best parts of the meal I felt were the salad, which possessed a nice creamy ginger dressing with fresh greens, and the miso soup that had a nice miso aroma to it. As for the major courses, the sushi was assembled together well, and fish was fresh. However, the rolls themselves didn't pack a whole ton of flavors, and it seemed like the restaurant accidentaly messed up our 2nd roll ordered. The ramen we agreed was also a dissapointment, as it had been skimpy on the chai su pork & egg, weak broth, and claimed fresh made noodles but tasted like egg. Moreover, if you thought the food wasn't good, the service we recieved that night wasn't any better. Whenever we asked our server for silverware or sauces for the table, she seemed to get pretty irritated. Overall, wasn't keen on the food or service tonight, and won't be eating here again. read more

This is my second time coming here this week. The service is excellent; the server was always checking up on us and making sure everything was okay. We got complimentary crab rangoons as an appetizer and fried oreos as dessert. The tako yaki was sooo yummy! The katsu don had so much flavor but I wish the pork was crispier, I think the egg on top made it a little soggy. Regardless, the portion is quite large and it's well seasoned. The sashimi was just okay, but they have a large variety of fish and sushi rolls. I also love how the place is decorated: anime posters, painted walls, etc. read more

The service is very good and friendly but the sushi was no great, I was No impressed with it!

I decided to try this little place out today for the first time. Upon entering the place, there was a cash register to the left and the prep area straight back. Seating was a combination of booths and tables, and what I like to call "boothables" - tables with chairs on one side, and a bench type cushioned seat on the other, against the wall. I waited at the door for 2 to 3 min and saw no one in the building besides the handful of people eating, except one in the back prepping rolls. Finally, another customer said i can just take a seat. So I did. Service came right away and I ordered clear soup and a soda. There are lunch specials and so I found my choice of 2 rolls, which comes with salad or soup. Since I already ordered soup, this option works nicely. All for 7.50. I ordered the Spicy Tuna Roll and Dynamite Roll. The Spicy Tuna Roll was pretty good but the Dynamite Roll tasted llke old frying oil. It wasn't too good. Overall a decent experience, but I think that when it's busy they may cut corners and rush it. read more

Oishii is a small, beautiful restaurant located in a plaza near Tinseltown. Situated near the heart of Southside, it faces a lot of competition being situated in an area where you can literally see another sushi place just standing outside in the parking lot. I was eager to try their ramen and I won't lie, this is not their forte! Nevertheless tonight's dinner was a pleasant surprise. I was floored by how outstanding the customer service was and how efficient the staff was at preparing our meals. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to our server Nancy for handling a large party of 10 with great ease and impressive attentiveness. She is the kind of waitress who doesn't need to be called on for anything because she can read your mind and anticipate what you are about to ask for! Very sweet and very fast! She is hardworking and genuinely friendly! I absolutely enjoyed having her! This place is highly recommended because of the amazing customer service. The food: My problem with the food was the ramen noodles. It wasn't the thick kind that I like. The Tonkatsu pork belly ramen was very shy with its flavor. I like my Tonkatsu bold and screaming with swine fat flavor! This ramen had a broth that wasn't "rich" enough for me. My kids however (12 and 3), LOVED every bit of this ramen. They couldn't get enough! They liked the texture of the noodles and even the flavor of the broth. The sushi was very delicious. I ordered the Oishii special in addition to the Tonkatsu pork ramen and The Shrimp Tempura dinner. The "Southside"sushi was apparently really good too. The shrimp tempura was crispy and flavors were just right. Because we were celebrating a birthday, the celebrant got fried ice cream on the house! My my! That ice cream was such a perfect way to end the evening! Yummy! read more

Ramen is the dish that we are here. We have check the ramen in the area and found this one open at Sunday night. Other ramen place close on Sunday. Other than ramen they also serve sushi. This restaurant is almost like Chinese practice the Japanese cuisine. They have special ramen that was not normally serve. The duck breast in pork bone base soup ramen. The pork bone soup base which is call tonkatsu. We have order two ramen. The duck and pork belly. The noodle is good. The bamboo shoot may need a bit work because they a bit tough. The soup is average for what we have. It can be improve. The pork belly is not roll and cut. The duck may need to marinated to make it interesting. Service is good. The bathroom need to be a bit brighter. The whole place is a bit dark. Ramen also can be improved. read more
