This place is one of the best spots in NYC. Chris is such an amazing host! We came in on the night of the Noah Kahan concert cancellation at Citi Field. We had our shirts on, and Chris asked if he was playing that night. When we told him the show had been canceled and that we were really bummed, we said we decided to come here instead. Chris immediately told us he'd make our night better -- and he absolutely did. He put Noah Kahan on the speakers, and we chatted, chanted, and connected throughout our meal. What started as a disappointing night turned into such a memorable experience. Chris made us feel so welcomed and completely changed the energy of the evening. What stood out even more was that Chris was just as attentive and welcoming to everyone else in the restaurant. We sat in the bar area, and the level of care and customer service from the host to the chefs was incredible. Cannot recommend this place enough. If you're looking for great food and an even better experience, this is the spot! read more

Oyishi Sushi - Omakase Box - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Came here on a Friday night and had some of the best sushi I have ever had! It's more of a takeout spot but there are a few seats inside and some tables outside. We got the nigiri deluxe, maki box, wagyu nigiri (incredible) and yellowtail jalapeño appetizer and everything was incredible. The texture of the sushi is buttery and so incredibly fresh. The service was super quick and they give free sake! Truly some of the best sushi I have ever had and will absolutely come back! read more

We were in the area and was debating between 2 sushi places to try. We ended up ordering 2 Nigiri Deluxe ($35 each) for takeout from Oyshi Sushi. The restaurant is quite small, with one table that seats 4, and seating at the window. There are 2 small tables outside, as well. Be careful when you go inside because there is a step after you open the door. Packaging was convenient with the handle around the sushi box. Overall, the fish was mediocre considering the price. Some pieces were soft while others were very stringy and chewy. I am not one to dip sashimi in soy sauce because I like to just enjoy the natural flavor of raw fish with a little wasabi. However, since the fish was a bit fishy, I needed a little soy sauce to mask the taste. The wasabi was also on the mild side, so I added more than I usually would. I would have rated this place a 3/5, if I did not find a hair sitting on top of the ginger... read more

Ordered delivery. Including tip and fees was 75$ for 10 piece omakase style. Each piece was good on its own but omakase is so commoditized now that 75$ all in was too high a price. I thought I would get some uni or some unique combinations of flavors but they were fairly standard. read more

Oyishi Sushi - 10 Pieces of Chefs Selection - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I'm obsessed with this place. It's a truly unique New York experience that's hard to explain until you experience it. I love eating outside on the sidewalk or inside by the window when the weather isn't as nice. It's very casual but don't let that fool you, the sushi is very high end. My husband and I used to be afraid of omakase because we're not the most adventurous sushi eaters, but every time we get omakase here it's incredible. Everything is delicious, extremely fresh every time, and amazing prices for what you get. We also love the appetizers like the yellowtail and salmon tartare. I love the complimentary sake too, it pairs perfectly with everything. read more

My usual place is goal omakase. Lately though, it has been getting absurd. I ordered $90 worth of food for me and my husband and we were still hungry. So, I went to Oyishi, hoping for a better value. The quality of fish at Goal Omakase, I would say is bettter. The fish at Oyishi is still serviceable, probably a small step above the average take-out sushi restaurant. Some of the pieces were sinewy. Some were better than expected. My pet peeve was that they were making the sushi rice on the floor. I know there is very little space in Manhattan, so I understand. But there was some room up in the front they could do it. They literally put a giant metal bowl on the floor in front of the bathroom and start mixing in the vinegar, etc. I don't know if I can return, just because of that. read more

Very fun, hospitable, and delicious. The rice has great texture, and the fish taste very fresh.

Stumbled upon this spot while in the neighborhood and decided to give it a try. Oyishi Sushi did not disappoint! It's tucked away in a lower-level (couple of stairs below street level), super cute inside with a cozy vibe. You can order in person or through the QR code posted outside (seems like they prefer the QR for takeout orders). The staff were so sweet when we picked up our food, and service was quick. The sushi itself was some of the best I've had in a long time; the fish was fresh and high quality, and the rice was perfectly seasoned. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. read more

Oyishi Sushi - Nigiri and Roll Chef's Selection - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

OH MY GOODNESS. BEST SALMON EVER. We've been to many omakases and sushi places in NY and NJ, but this one honestly takes the cake - at least for "bang for your buck" and fish quality. I got a Nigiri Deluxe (chef's choice of 12 nigiri pieces) and the quality and taste was absolutely incredible made sweeter by the super affordable cost of $35!! Favorite pieces on my plate were salmon and torches sea bass, but everything was delicious. My husband loved his maki rolls so much that he bought a second salmon avocado roll! The owner and staff are literally the sweetest and most hospitable people, and even though the seating is limited (I think there were only 6 seats inside and 1 table for 2 outside), it's even worth ordering takeout to not miss out on the deliciousness. The owner even put out free watermelon for patrons to eat! There's also a free water dispenser with a tray of green tea bags next to it so you can steep your own green tea. Honestly, my husband and I came here for the first time last weekend and haven't shut up about it. Run don't walk here if you love amazing sushi! read more

Try: Chef's Selection, Spicy Scallop Roll, and a Moshi Drink! Why: I got the Chef's Selection (Nigiri & Roll) and Spicy Scallop Roll and I thought it was fresh. Nigiri was almost melt in your mouth deliciousness. The fish slices were big. I was hoping for toppings like roe on top of nigiri like the photos and description on website. That would have added additional flavor and texture. The roll in my Chef's Selection was a Spicy Tuna Roll, which was good and had a good amount of tuna and tempura flakes for added crunch. I appreciate they didn't use too much rice in the rolls so the entire meal was a perfect satisfying amount for one person. I originally ordered an Apple Moshi but when I arrived it was not available so I tried the Passion Fruit - refreshing sparking tea. Notes: Cute new (opened 2 months) sushi spot great for takeout on the UES. Small shop with a few seats inside. Simple menu with omakase, rolls, nigiri, appetizers, and drinks. Worker was welcoming and had my order ready when I arrived. I plan on coming back to try more omakase takeout. Also, I saw on the menu they had wagyu beef with caviar truffle sauce that looks and sounds yum! read more

Oyishi Sushi - Chef's Selection (Nigiri & Roll) ($35) Spicy Scallop Roll ($11) Moshi Passion Fruit Sparking Oolong Tea ($5) - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Shoutout to Reddit - Ordered for pick up. Packaging and quality A1. Really rare as UES sushi is not the best. 10/10 for me

This is the Nigiri deluxe from Oyishi on the UES. 10 pieces $42. Good variety although there is a decent amount of white fish you do get two amazing pieces of salmon, scallop, toro, squid, yellowtail. These pieces in the box don't look big but they were actually quite large. Great fish to rice ratio. Rice was room temp and well seasoned. This also had lime zest on most of the pieces which I'm not sure I've had before but it was nice gave some brightness. For $42 this is a fantastic deal. read more

This was our second visit, and just like the first time, my husband and I went for the $35 Nigiri sets -- consistently delicious. On this occasion, I opted for the chef's selection (Nigiri & Roll), while he stuck with the 12-piece nigiri. Everything was excellent. The Nigiri & Roll set felt a bit more refined, with deluxe toppings that added a nice touch. The roll was especially memorable; buttery and refreshing. A pleasant surprise came right at the start when the chef brought over two complimentary pieces of nigiri; they were incredibly flavorful and practically melted in our mouths. The restaurant is small, with limited seating inside and a few spots outside. While it's not a traditional omakase experience with the chef preparing each piece in front of you, it's a great option for a quick sit-down meal or takeout. Definitely worth a visit; you'll be greeted with a smile. read more

Hands down the best sushi I've ever had. Every piece was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the quality was just unmatched. On top of that, the staff treated me and my two kids like absolute royalty. The energy in the restaurant was so warm and welcoming. The chef even surprised us with a few off-menu specials, just for us, and didn't charge a thing. That kind of thoughtfulness and generosity is so rare, and it made an already incredible experience truly unforgettable. This place is a gem. Beautiful food, genuine hospitality, and a vibe that makes you want to come back again and again. If you're lucky enough to snag a seat, do it! read more

I walked in here and Jim, the owner, was extremely welcoming. He offered me a free AMAZING piece of nigiri with fois gras, truffle, caviar, and lime zest and it was delicious!!!! Truly, better than extremely expensive omakase I've had before. The quality is insane and the price is very reasonable for the food and service. The restaurant itself is very clean and modern with a few seats to eat at a table or the bar. Jim told me that he owns Umami Sushi in Ardsley for many years, so he's extremely experienced.

Tasty fresh fish. Reasonable prices but small place, only room for 8 people total inside

I really love the sashimi at this restaurant; it's so fresh. The food is also beautifully presented and delicious. I went there last week with my friends for my friend's birthday. The decor and ambiance are exactly my type, and I was very satisfied with this dining experience.. The waiter learned that it was my friend's birthday and even gave us a small gift. The service was very enthusiastic. read more

Great food and super friendly service! This is a cozy little spot that probably can't fit more than six people inside, but the prices are great, the food is delicious, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Would recommend 100%! read more

I rarely give bad reviews, but this was pretty awful. I am a foodie from the West Village visiting my Mom on 78th. Thought picking up sushi would be an easy dinner. After eating it, I was sick to my stomach in the bathroom. The spicy tuna looked like strawberry mush with pieces of corn (instead of crunchies). Yellowtail had a funky aroma. 5 rolls, (no specialty), 4 piece hamachi all for $75. Hole in my pocket and stomach. read more

Oyishi Sushi - Sample fluke sushi with gold and caviar topping - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Excellent for the price. Sushi and nigiri tasty and fresh. Absolutely no frills - my friend and I brought a bottle of white wine. It was very hot out and the restaurant had no ice:) We had to ask for water and be aggressive in getting the cook-and-waiter's attention. There are a couple chairs in front, and a couple small tables for 2 on the sidewalk. Not a place to dine in with more than 2- seems like 3 would be a crowd. Still- how many reasonably priced good sushi places exist in Manhattan? read more

My friend and I had such a good experience here. We were wandering around looking for a place to grab lunch and oyishi sushi caught our eye. The owner was so kind and offered us a sample nigiri and free watermelon after we said we had never eaten there before. We both ordered the chefs selection and it was some of the best sushi I had tasted. The restaurant itself is quite small but the ambiance is great and we enjoyed ourselves sitting at the high tops. 11/10 experience!! read more

Truly a very well hidden gem. For such a small restaurant this place has set my standard for incredible sushi, amazing customer service, and sushi culture. I've been here twice and plan to come here any chance I get. I mentioned to the one the workers I had to wait in my car and he went above and beyond to bring me my order my car without even asking. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone I know. Do yourself a favor and go try this place as well as listen to the kind gentleman behind the counter take you on a journey of a excellent sushi experience read more

A little expensive for takeout, yet reasonable compared to what sit down restaurants charge for Omakase. Presented very nicely in their unique takeout containers.
