Service. The ambiance is fine & normally clean. The food is good tho sometimes the meat has been fatty grisly & chewy lately. But normally the food is good. However they used to have a really nice staff & I'm not sure where she went but I haven't seen her in awhile. Ever since the staff has been incredibly rude especially towards people who have disabilities. The first issue arose when the owner up charged our order that's normally 40 to 70 tho nothing had changed & has been 40 ever since. She basically stole 30$ from us. The 2nd issue my mom has disabilities & the parking here is not the greatest so she parked a little crooked to make sure she could get back in her car in case someone parked next to her. The staff told us they wouldn't serve us food if we didn't fix how we parked our car. It was incredibly rude because someone with a disability cannot just simply climb over seats like a skinny 20 yr old healthy staff member assumes they can. The 3rd issue arrived today. I have sciatica my mom has disabilities so we asked if we could sit on the only seat in the entire eatery that is not hard wood chairs. The staff told us it's reserved for large parties even tho there's literally no one on here right now. We were told if a large party comes in they will be forced to move us from a place we've sat nearly every time with 0 issues until today. Unfortunately as good as the food may be I have absolutely no interest in coming back when the staff treats its customers so poorly. They have never had these behavioral issues up until 2 months ago. I don't know why people who are paid min wage feel the need to be so unkind to people who you can see my mom doesn't walk straight. She struggles to get out of chairs & staff has seen in it the past. They see her handicap sticker in the window of her car & they still felt the need to be abusive & steal money from us. It's just not a place I recommend. It's to bad because the food is good as long as your fully able bodied I guess. read more

Oishii Teriyaki & Rolls - Seating - Japanese Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

I placed an order for carry out and they had it ready for me when I arrived 10 minutes later. We got the sushi bento box and a beef teriyaki. The goyza in the bento box were delightfully crisp and I really enjoyed the sushi rolls. The beef teriyaki was on the saltier side but very flavorful. I enjoyed the teriyaki sauce it came with. Overall, a pretty solid teriyaki joint! read more

Oishii Teriyaki & Rolls - Sushi bento box - Japanese Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Its my local place,so I go, but would never travel to. Pleasant stylish decor and overall the Flavors are great - but the recioes are really stingy on ingredients that matter to me. The photos look professional but ARE of the food. Their beef looks exactly like fhe photos - dry stringy bits that seem like leftovers froma philly cheese shop and priced like sliced steak. Still, I prefer it to the diced or nearly ground beef some places serve. Th the "side salad" is so thinky dressed its almost dry. Had the Chicken Katsu once and even with extra sauce there was barely enough for more than a drop on each bite. But I havent found better in Bham yet. read more

I visited Oishii sushi restaurant on Saturday for an early dinner with a good friend. We were greeted promptly by a lovely young lady. The service is attentive but not overbearing. I had the sushi bento special #B with edamame. My dinner companion had sushi bento #A. Both were a perfect amount and absolutely delicious! We will be back. read more

Popped in while my car was getting new tires and asked to be seated by an outlet to charge my phone and was given a perfect seat. The waitress was very friendly and sweet. They were out of green tea which was odd so I had a dr pepper instead, I got miso soup and the sunrise roll i believe. The soup was good no tofu or seaweed in mine. The roll I chose takes 15 min to cook which was great cause I wasn't in a rush, when it came out it was on foil and the rice stuck to the foil so it was difficult to ear but it was really good I would get it again. I walked in right when they opened and one table was already seated and about 4 other tables arrived when I was there. The bentos seem spendy but I'd bring my kids and share one and this roll again. the soda machine seemed out of place I thought I had to get up and get my own but the waitress did it instead read more

Oishii Teriyaki & Rolls - Sunset roll was amazing but hard to eat as the rice stuck to the foil - Japanese Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Well, I'm not certain if it's because I'm so hungry, but oh my goodness this place is delicious!. I walked in and was seated promptly, sat down to do some work and all of a sudden my food showed up, which didn't even give me much time to finish my work. As you know, I am chicken teriyaki all the way and I loved that this came with no sauce so I could put it on myself. It is a great soy and ginger mix. My server was very attentive, and the location was quiet. But only 5 other groups so not busy by any stretch. I will be back next time in this area. read more

I just got to town for a week of work and was craving some stir fry. I found this place within walking distance of my hotel. I was immediately seated and given a menu and water. I asked a few questions and decided on the chicken stir fry, spicy, with a side salad instead of rice. I was amazed at how fast the order came out, the restaurant was about 1/4 full. Food was awesome! I will be back during my stay! Prices are very fair and the restaurant was nice and clean. read more

Oishii Teriyaki & Rolls - Spicy chicken stir fry with side salad. - Japanese Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

I had an itch to get some good teriyaki and someone told me this is the best in Bellingham. Well, I wasn't disappointed! It scratched the itch. The server we had was professional and friendly and happy to answer questions. She also checked in on us a good amount so we didn't feel neglected. The space is somewhat small but I didn't feel crowded. The big windows let in a lot of light and the plants outside give some ambiance. Now... for the winner... the food! The chicken teriyaki and gyoza combo was exactly what I wanted. The gyoza came with a sauce of some sort that is house made. It tasted amazing and I even asked for more because I could just pour that over everything! The teriyaki was everything I hoped it would be. I do wish there was more sauce on it but the flavor was spot on. I think this is my new teriyaki place! read more

I came in there yesterday with an Asian exchange student. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time. We wanted to sit in the back in the comfortable seats and have some privacy away from the bathrooms. The waitress, a skinny girl with tattoos stated we could not sit back there and told us we had to sit upfront. I told her "can't I sit where I want to" she said no that table is reserved for six people. Again, we were the only ones in the restaurant. We planned on having dinner, but instead, we shared one order of sushi. Probably the rudest first impression of this restaurant. Once I explained to my Chinese only speaking friend what had occurred, she was quite surprised as well. We were there approximately 30 minutes and we're still the only patrons. This was at approximately 6 PM. We both agreed that we will never be back. That employee needs to be either fired or completely retrained on how to get repeat customers. This restaurant is far from fine dining. Most of their business is to go from what I saw. It's hard enough to park being next to IHOP. But to treat customers like that it makes it very easy to find someplace else to eat read more

Never a bad dish here! The food is always served fresh and/or hot, and it's evident that quality ingredients are being used. Staff are also friendly and attentive, which also makes for a great dining experience. Best sushi in Bellingham, for sure! read more

This is a great place to come whether you are a hard core sushi lover or simply want a change of pace from your typical meals. I have one adventurous eater (6 year old) that loves trying new things. He's had the octopus and and fried shrimp...which is something I wouldn't normally eat. My 14 year old and I are much less adventurous but we always find something that we find delicious. My 14 year old would never try sushi but we went there and found they have a teriyaki chicken roll. So he could get the "sushi experience " while staying in his comfort zone. My 6 year old and I love the crunchy bellingham rolls and California rolls (I know I know...not real sushi) but...but when my 14 year old asked if they would make his teriyaki roll crunchy...they gladly went off the menu and made it up for him. That's great service! This is a great spot whether you are adventurous or boring...and one of the few places that has something for every pallet in my family! read more

Haven't left many positive or negative reviews but this time is worth it. Usually I just dont go back, but this was such a rip off it was worthy of notifying other. Saturday around 1pm, nobody there and I ordered a plate of vegetable yakisoba. It came out very quick but what I got work for $20 was a small amount of noodles that had a tiny bit of cabbage in it and I believe one very very tiny piece of broccoli and some rice. There were no vegetables in it and the portion for $20 of just noodles is ridiculous. I understand the cost of things have gone up but this is absolutely just a rip off. read more

We came here on a Sunday evening, with so many other places closed on Sundays or not open for dine-in, Oishii seemed like a good option. The staff offered a friendly greeting and seated us across from the kitchen door. Bentos are a Japanese tradition and fit exactly what we were looking for. Our meals came with dumplings and a salad, perfect servings and nicely prepared. The sushi was well-prepared and tasty. The bathrooms were clean (always a plus). We will definitely come back to try other items on the menu. read more

Yummy rolls it so good even my doggy ate it he grew hands and legs and dined with me because it was so good looking and tasting

The food was actually one of the best from the Bellingham area that I've tried but the price is too expensive. The location is really hard to get in or out of as well. The workers there were pretty nice and they seem to be doing their best. I got their udon and the golden philli and sunset roll. The sunset roll takes like 15 min-25 min to cook and I don't think it was worth the wait. Their udon was kind of soggy and salty. I'm not sure I'll be coming back again. read more

I love the sushi here so much!! So far it's the best I've had in Bellingham, especially when chef Andy? (I think that's his name) is working. Try the baked sushi!! The sunset and lava roll are so goooood :) I get them every time, but have yet to be disappointed by any of the specialty rolls. Friendly and fast service, (without affecting quality). I come here so often because it has never let me down! Thank you guys! read more

Just drive on by this place ! I had the Broccoli Beef. It was almost inedible ! I make broccoli beef at home and it is ten times better than this dog food. The beef was ok and the rice was ok, but, the broccoli was wayyy overcooked. Not just a little, it was terrible. The sauce was watery, not like a sauce should be. I also ordered an appetizer of 8 filled dumplings. I can't remember the dishes actual name. They were ok but cast $9.00 for eight. The total bill was just under $30.00 ! You can get a steak dinner for that, absolutely ridiculous !! The other Asian food places in Ferndale are much, much, better. And would cost you less ! I will never go back to this place, never ! read more

Disappointing experience with this place. The takeout was both overpriced and low quality. They managed to mess up the order, and the taste was far from satisfying. Given the experience, I won't be returning. read more

This place has become one of our regular go-to's .. why? Consistent high quality of food and the waitress here in my opinion is one of the best in Bellingham. She is attentive to ALL of her customers, friendly, fast and has a great attitude! I go here with my husband as well as teenage kids and we all love it here..the only bad thing is they are closed on Sunday.. but we learned our lesson and now remember this. Price is fair for what you get /quality and quantity. Restrooms are even clean and well stocked. read more

We were pretty excited to try this place because we like both teriyaki and sushi very much. Maybe my expectations were a little high but we found the food to be just okay. My disappointment came from the food value in comparison with the price. It seemed a bit expensive for the quality of the sushi. The teriyaki was very good however and I would return for that. We thought our server was very nice and patient with us. It seemed like only two employees were working and both were efficient and friendly. They have a help wanted sign up and they need it. I'm sure those two were beat at the end of the day, nice job guys! read more

We love Oishii. The food is amazing, and the food is always fresh. Really good customer service. We always go there.

Took a while to get seated despite there being a lot of tables empty. Our food took a while to arrive , the chicken teriyaki was slightly rubbery and not so tender, the teriyaki sauce was watery and overly sweet, the sushi was underwhelming, the sashimi didn't taste fresh. Overall overpriced, and underwhelming. read more

Ok choice if you are looking for a good variety to choose from. Chicken seemed to be boneless thigh with lots of fat. Rice was yummy and the California rolls rocked. Yakisoba was overcooked and on the sweet side. Staff were attentive and friendly. read more

I ordered the Golden Phili Roll $8.99 (Philadelphia Roll, Tempura Battered & Deep-Fried, Topped w/ Eel Sauce) It was very small for a $9 dish. The wasabi was good but very little was given and only one soy sauce packet. The Ginger smelled of mold. After one bite, I decided to not eat the ginger. The roll was delicious but the quantity was very small. I was disappointed in the small size. Overall, I would rate this as a mediocre purchase as $9.78 should have got me a decent meal, there should have been more wasabi and soy sauce, and the ginger was super old. read more

Oishii Teriyaki & Rolls - All this for $9 - Japanese Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

I'll start off by saying the wait staff are very friendly and courteous. Appetizer: egg rolls. 2 for $5. These are out of the freezer section from the local Costco. I expect a place like this to make their own egg rolls and not deep fry some frozen ones from the freezer. Sad. Entree: chicken teriyaki, white rice, and salad. The entree came out and the temperature was barely like warm. Like they had made the place 1 hour ago and it was sitting out on the counter. Not even under a heat lamp. Rice was meh. Below avg. salad was poor. Clumps of iceberg of a low quality variety and no dressing. $12. Chicken didn't taste bad once I had them reheat the plate. You would think they would give me a new plate or put the chicken on the skillet and heat it up. Give me a fresh hot scoop of rice. Nope - throw it in the microwave on the plastic plate for 30 seconds. I won't come here again. To conclude: the wait staff and server were very nice but the actual food was below average. read more

Don't waste your money. I have had their teriyaki a couple years back and it was decent.... BUT the sushi I was just served was awful and a disgrace to those who love sushi. The waiter was pressuring us to order when we barely got a chance to look at the menu, when we kindly told her we weren't ready... three times. The SUSHI, I don't know what was wrong with it but as soon as we saw it we knew it wasn't going to be great. We couldn't even finish it because of how it tasted and the quality of ingredients/fish. The salmon looked weird and tasted comparable to something I would feed my cat. We ended up having to bring our check up to the front due to our waiter passing us while we were patiently waiting. The only genuinely nice gesture I felt from our waiter was when it was time for us to pay of course. She asked how everything was, and we told her that it wasn't great.. She thought we were joking, but we weren't. Then finally we saw our way out. I won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

I love teriyaki and my husband loves sushi so we went looking for a place that has both and ended up at Oishii. It's a rather unassuming little place in an awkward strip mall off of Bakerview. It shares parking with IHOP and unfortunately the parking lot is very crowded and difficult to maneuver in but we found a spot and headed inside. The restaurant is very tastefully decorated but tiny inside, lucky for us we came early and there was only one other table of customers. We ordered the Green Tiger roll and hubby wanted stir-fry and I got teriyaki chicken with gyosa. It took a while for our order to arrive but I quickly realized why- there was a huge to-go order placed before our order went in. Apparently these guys do a fantastic take out business and I can see why! The food is freaking awesome! The Green Tiger roll was excellent- 8 pieces of succulent avocado covered Krab, tempura shrimp and sticky rice, topped with eel sauce...mmmmmm My Teriyaki Chicken was delicious, perfectly cooked, marinated in salty, sweet teriyaki and served with sticky rice, salad and 4 pieces of savory pork pot stickers. Probably one of the best teriyaki meals I've had in Whatcom County. Hubby's stir-fry was also excellent, super fresh vegetables and lots of chicken quickly fried in a mild teriyaki sauce. His only complaint was that it needed more heat (he likes the spicy peppers). Maybe next time we'll bring Sriracha We will be back, I want to try everything!!!! read more

We're up North visiting Birch Bay and decided to go grab some lunch. Teriyaki and Sushi (best of both worlds) why not give them a try. We walk in and wait to be seated (2 other diners in the entire restaurant, they weren't busy) and the waitress drops off menus. They proudly display that they've won an award for "Best Tasting Teriyaki", all right, we made a good choice. 10 minutes later the waitress arrives and ask for our order. I asked her a few questions about the Bento Boxes and she was unsure what it comes with. I ordered the Bento Box (chicken teriyaki, gyoza, salad and rice) $8.99 and the boys had the lunch special $5.99 chicken teriyaki bowl. (And, pepsi was $2.49 for an 8oz cup and non-refillable, and if it was refillable, waitress never came and asked) I've had lots of chicken teriyaki before and my goodness, did they really win an award for Best Teriyaki? Because the teriyaki was as dry and tasteless as a shoe. (never ate a shoe and there's a reason for that) There was no teriyaki sauce on it. The chicken bowl that my boys had was rice, salad, and the chicken on top. My 9 year old who loves food could not finish his food, it was sooo dry. They had teriyaki sauce on the table and we added it to our chicken but it was still unrecoverable. The portions were so small, even in my bento box. (see photo I posted) It was the same portion size as the lunch special for $5.99. It wasn't worth the money I spent ... we've had better Teriyaki from a supermarket deli. This place get's a NO STAR but I can't write a review without giving it a star. We were still hungry cause we couldn't eat it, so we went to Burger King! Save your money, you're better off eating at the IHOP across the parking lot from them. I agree with the other review, Oishii Kunai (not delicious) read more

Waste of money. Asked over phone if they made fried tofu teriyaki, they said it's not a menu item but they can definitely make it to order with some rice and salad like the other teriyaki entrees. It was a pickup over so I just grabbed the food and drove off but wish I had looked at it while I was inside. Paid nearly 15 bucks for barely fried completely dry tofu with zero sauce and white rice. Pretty much inedible because it was just flavorless tofu blocks. Their spring rolls are clearly frozen from a grocery store as well. Could've made everything I received in that 21 dollar order at home for 5 bucks from winco and it probably would've tasted better. read more

It was good. Not great. Not cheap for lunch time. There was not one thing that I was like, wow that's really good. Server was nice. Would go back if someone asked to meet there, but probably wouldn't pick it. read more
