Good sushi rolls at a reasonable price, went here three days in a row. Will be back when I am in town. We got a bubble tea that we were not satisfied with and they went out of their way to make us a new one that we liked. Only negative is the tonkotsu ramen broth was a little too thin compared to what I would expect. The flavor of the ramen was also non-traditional, but not necessarily in a bad way.
So this place just opened up. We got the pork gyoza, tonkatsu ramen, the volcano and the crazy rolls.
The gyoza and the sushi were AMAZING, that's where they get the 3 stars. The sushi is so fresh and I could sit there and eat it every single night. The gyoza also was very tasty, had a nice thin dough, and satueed just right.
Here's my issue; the ramen. There were good and bad things about the ramen. The thing is, there's another way more popular ramen place just about 2-3 blocks away from this shop, called Ramen Kumomato, and their ramen is far better for numerous reasons. 1. They use *seemingly* homemade noodles, and a variety to choose from such as straight or wavy, you can also choose your desired firmness. Oishii however, uses only instant wavy noodles and they were quite mushy. Too mushy. Ramen Kumomato charges $13 for a delicious bowl of ramen with homemade or better quality noodles, where as Oishii charges $12.95 for instant noodles. It also had a weird slightly off putting flavor to the broth, whereas Ramen Kumotao is very savory and creamy (tho this is subjective). They both do have similar toppings though. And I did like Oishii's pork better.
Overall, I'll not be getting the ramen again, which makes me sad. Was hoping this would be a one stop shop, cos I'll definitely get their sushi again.
So good! The sushi had so much flavor and it was so good! Waiters were very kind and food was served so quick! I would recommend coming here
So good we have been anticipating the opening of this restaurant and it exceeded our expectations. Great food, fast and friendly service, chill atmosphere. Definitely recommend the ramen!
So good! Saw that this was open after anticipating it since April 2020 and it was worth the wait! The sushi was rolled neatly and wasn't stuffed with rice, and it tasted great. The ramen was also great, didn't feel greasy. I could easily finish a bowl. The food came out quickly and the service was great. The prices are comparable to other sushi & ramen places in the area. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a lot of people who know about them yet since they've just opened. Will definitely be returning!! :-)
