Restaurant review - oishi sushi in Carson City NV…read more It's evacuation time! At the time of this writing the Hawk fire is going on and a group of us evacuees wanted some sushi in Carson City. Keep in mind, we were HUNGRY, as it had been a really hectic busy couple of days. Two options presented themselves, both in the same parking area, and Oishi was one of them. However, I had questions, So I called. Do they have soy wrap, since my wife doesn't eat nori? Yes. And, are they ADA compliant, as my wife has a ACL tear and is in a wheelchair? They said yes. And so we told our friends to head to Oishi and we would meet them there. Found out quickly the restaurant was baaaarely ADA compliant. It was Very, very narrow, and hard to navigate with a wheel chair. If there are people sitting in tables, everyone has to get up and move in order to get the chair around. So, just a little awkward, before we even get to the table. Which we finally get to. We ordered drinks at 5:40. Drained my tea at 6pm....and didn't get a refill till 6:17. A Buddy ordered cold sake at 5:40 as well.... but never got it. He Asked again at 6:17, and finally got it at 6:26. We turned in our food order slip at 5:50pm. First food to arrive was Miso soup at 6:05. Honestly one of the better miso soups I've had from places like this. Perfectly salted and seasoned. Green onion and a little kombu as well. I dig it. Bunch of apps got to the table at 6:21. First was Tempura tofu. Crispy crunchy hot tofu cube served with sweet chili sauce. Good stuff, though the tofu itself wasn't marinaded or anything. Still, not bad. Yakiton, stuffed with crab salad and sweet sauce on top. Big size, satisfying. Like a giant crab salad egg roll. Potsickers. Crispy crunchy edges but tender filling.... really nice. Crab ball was pretty great too! Like a giant crab salad meatball with toppings, and really crispy. Bunch of rolls got to the table at 6:30. Most were pretty great. However, my wife's Special rolls with soy paper still had not come out by 6:45. So I asked about them. They asked "ok, you know it's a dollar extra per roll right?" Told them yes.... didn't care....my wife couldn't eat nori. Five minutes later she got her soy paper rolls, at 6:50. Both of which she reported enjoying a lot. However, at 6:50 the table still hadn't gotten the nigiri. It was officially an hour after it had been ordered at this point and we were hungry! And then five minutes later, we got some of the nigiri, at 6:55. Got the rest around 7:05. Honestly? Kinda worth the wait. Nigiri had really thick pieces on top of well seasoned rice with sesame seeds on it. Some awkward cuts of fish present, torn edges and such, but we went late in the day so it's expected. Most was Very satisfying. Seared tuna and pepper tuna were two of my favorites, but the eel was very good as well. Everything was Served on wooden boats too, Honestly kinda fun. And the staff? Really nice. Little older lady, huge smile, really funny and friendly. Dessert was served at 7:20pm. While everyone was eating I asked their opinions. Well my friends who had been imbibing the "all you can drink hot sake with all you can eat" said they loved it. I, one of the only non drinkers there, also really liked the food, though the wait was a little bothersome. But honestly, our friends had a really good time, we all left full, all of what we got was pretty good, and I was left feeling that I'd like to go back. Though I might wait until my wife is out of the wheelchair before I do so, and hopefully there isn't a evacuation going on. 4 out of 5 stars.

We were originally looking for Korean BBQ or AYCE sushi and ended up stumbling upon this small,…read morefamily-owned restuarant. We were on a limited schedule, otherwise we probably would've tried a few more of their "unusual" rolls. We didn't get a chance to ask why it's called Nationals Cafe, however we did ask Lupita next time if we could order half rolls instead of full rolls--which she happily stated would be fine. Even with only about five tables (from what I could tell), service was good. Lupita was friendly, efficient, and attentive. We definitely want to try the Thick Roll (tamago, unagi, avocado, topped with sweet sauce) and the Loma Roll (tempura zucchini, tempura sweet potato, topped with avocado and sweet sauce) the next visit. We ordered several appetizers--edamame, shrimp tempura, and dumplings--along with the Ichiban and Carol rolls. Overall, the food was decent and hit the spot. Hopefully next time we'll have more time to explore more of the menu.

I have to say the AYCE lunch is a better deal to go to. Dinner is like $8.00 more and the food is…read morethe same. Walking in I could tell this place has a little different slant on sushi. You'll find more of the non-traditional rolls and appetizers here. The hot sauce is really flowing here. One thing we had here I never saw in any sushi place was this Jalapeno Popper roll. A jalapeno stuffed with cream cheese battered and deep fried and sliced like a roll. Not really want I expected in a sushi place , but I guess it works here. Other more traditional offerings were available, though with that abundance of hot sauce. The dining ambiance is not what I called fine dining, but more a working class vibe ... especially listening to the swearing and cussing from a nearby table. I guess the sushi here is OK, just ask to hold the hot sauce, unless that's your thing.

The seating is nice and comfortable. The menu has tons of delicious options. It was difficult to…read moredecide what I wanted to try. I ALWAYS try the mussels at every sushi restaurant I go to. These did not disappoint! Properly cooked. NOT chewy/rubbery. Slight kick to them. I ate a few orders! Lol. I also had the Donald duck, Cajun salmon, Okie dokie and the Geisha. The Cajun salmon surprised me with the flavor. I wish I could have ate more but I was so full at the end. Donald duck was the normal you'd expect at any sushi place. The Jalapeños on the Geisha were tempura style and so good. The Okie dokie was a little off. Some bites were over powered with cream while other bites did not have any cream cheese. I use the juice from the mussels to pour over my rolls and enhanced the flavors even more. Coming back here again

I wanted to like this place, as my wife, mother and law and I were staying at a local hotel and…read moredon't have many options for cooking. Unfortunately it ended up being one of the more disappointing all-you-can-eat sushi experiences I've ever had. We were seated around 6:15 p.m. and got our drinks fairly quickly. I asked for water with lemon but received plain water in a stainless steel tumbler. The cup looked nice enough, although it left a metallic taste. We placed our appetizer and sushi order around 6:20 p.m. Miso soup arrived about five minutes later. It was light and tasty with tofu, green onions, and seaweed, though it could have used a little more seasoning. The first appetizers came out around 6:40 p.m. The yakiton was filled mostly with krab salad and had a slightly cold center. It wasn't bad, but it lacked the crispy exterior I was expecting. The popcorn shrimp was completely coated in sweet chili sauce, which softened any crunch it might have had, and it had a slightly fishy aftertaste. The pot stickers were fully cooked and generously filled with a decent flavor, but they were pale and not crisp at all. Things went downhill from there. My wife ordered a Guapo Roll wrapped in soy paper but never received it. We were eventually told the kitchen was backed up and that it would be put on the "next ticket." By that point, the experience had already become frustrating. Several appetizers simply never arrived with the rest of the food. When we asked about them, the staff couldn't explain why. They finally showed up around 7:00 p.m., but they weren't worth the wait. The egg roll wrappers were visiblly undercooked, with raw funny wrapper, and tasted like something you'd cook from a frozen food isle. The fried oysters were gummy and had the texture of biting into uncooked dough with a fishy center. The fried scallops were bland, fishy, and lacked any crispness. Overall, nearly every fried item seemed undercooked or improperly fried. One thing I also noticed was how many rolls rely on the same ingredients. It felt like almost every specialty roll contained either krab mix or salmon, making the menu seem less varied than it first appears. Hope you like krab salad and salmon thirty different ways! The bright spot was the nigiri. The fish tasted fresh, the rice was well prepared, and both the eel and Cajun tuna were enjoyable. I wish I had just gotten a bunch of that. I also thought the Big Man Roll and Macho Roll were solid choices and would probably order those again. Unfortunately, they weren't enough to save the overall experience. For $117 for three people and two sodas, I expected much better food quality, consistency, and service. Final rating: 2 out of 5 stars. The two stars are earned almost entirely by the nigiri. Between the missing orders, inconsistent service, and underwhelming fried food, I don't see myself returning.

The Smoke Door be smokin'!…read more Seriously, the best meal we've had since we can remember. It was my fiance's birthday, so we splurged for the ten course dinner, as I knew he'd enjoy it even though I knew I'd be bursting at the seams. The ten course will set you back $218/pp. They also offer a six course tasting menu and an à la carte menu. Every course was thoughtfully prepared, thoroughly explained and totally delicious! One of our favorites was the A4 Wagyu with fresh horseradish grated tableside. The amberjack from the Toyosu market in Tokyo was also top notch. 22% automatic service charge, but you can change it or ask them to take it off the bill. Christina was our main server and she was a joy, along with the rest of the staff. Would definitely recommend Smoke Door if you're in or visiting the Tahoe area. We loved it!

We dined at the bar for the 10 course and was such a fun experience. Greg was taking care of us and he was so personable and funny. Food - There were some new items like the tsukune, which is a familiar chicken meatball at yakitori restaurants. This was in our top favorites of the night. The meat is so succulent and flavorful! The shiso and ginger flavor was amazing. But, the lotus root really gave it texture which was a nice contrast. Seriously 100/10 Summer Squash - this was so lovely. The sauce was made out of sake lees!!! They said they are getting it from a local sake brewery in Oakland. The flavors were amazing and had an incredible sesame togarashi oil on top texturally so fun to enjoy with the squash blossom and pumpkin seed furikake 11/10! NOW the desserts! Kakigori which was yellow watermelon and pineapple with little black sesame mocha on top! Looks unassuming but when you take a bite it was so delicious and such a great palate cleanser. I wanted more.. 12/10 Our favorite of the night was the Rice cream sundae. They said it was rice with coconut milk, but had little wild Rice Krispie treats with SMOKED BUTTER like WHATTTTT?!? So so so f-ing delicious. And what can be better than that? A miso caramel drizzled on top!!! 1000/10 Everything from the cocktails, food, and service was amazing as always.

Parking is fairly easy, with plenty of street spaces nearby, and an easy walk if you're already hanging around the neighborhood. The service was friendly and fairly prompt, and even for a weekday night the place was bustling, leading to a bit of a backup. Cool vibes all around, and it's neat to sit at the bar and watch the chefs do their thing. Though it does mean this is a little bit on the noisy side. Look at the menu, and there are tons of tempting options. As the name suggests, their specialty here is small plate off the grill or out fo the fryer. But they do serve really good-looking ramen, too, which I will make not to try next time I swing by. I at first went with a quick bite of grilled chicken thighs, which were just amazing! They were juicy, eprfectly seared, with some grilled green onions and an amazing sweet soy sauce. I also went with the yakionigiri, which are balls of rice that are grilled, brushed with sauce, and topped with a sort of mango slaw. A bit uncommon, but wow, these were also just so delicious! Also had a glass of sake, though they have a full bar should you want some other sort of beverage. Prices here are, I feel, a little on the higher end for small plates. However, I think it is definitely worth coming and trying this place out at least once or twice, just to expereince some of the good food. I'm sorry it took me so long to finally step through the doors, but I am certain I will be back again to try more of what's on the menu.

The restaurant was clean and has both indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered a house salad, sashimi and two rolls. Our meal also came with miso soup. The miso soup had a fair taste and was very light on the tofu, green onions and greens. The salad dressing also had a fair taste - nothing extraordinary. We ordered the nine piece sashimi. The salmon was fresh and tasty. The tuna was also fresh and tasty, but it had a green sauce on top that we both did not care for. The Hamachi was ice cold and tasteless. The best roll was a baked roll with crab and avocado and lobster on top. It was absolutely delicious. The Carnation roll was crab and avocado wrapped in tuna and salmon with tobiko and a tempura scallop on top of each cut roll. The roll itself was average, but the warm tempura scallop on top was delicious! The sauce was a spicy mayo and Unagi sauce. We did like the fact the rice was rolled thinner on the rolls. The menu had a great variety of appetizers, sashimi, sushi rolls, and specialty rolls. There were also Korean dishes that looked yummy. We may come back to try other items on the menu, but the sushi was hit and miss. If we could, we would give this restaurant a 3.5 star rating.
