The service at this restaurant was disappointing. Although the food was satisfactory, the experience was marred by the poor service. The waitress was discourteous and brought the wrong order. When we asked for it to be corrected, she responded rudely and did not properly address our concerns. This lack of attention and care made for a frustrating dining experience.

I've been coming here since a friend's suggestion last year and I am never disappointed in the slightest. Every piece of sushi I've had is so fresh and flavorful. They apparently get a lot of their fish straight from Japan.My favorite appetizers are the steamed abalone and monkfish liver. I would be happy only eating those, but you would be crazy to not get the omakase here. I got the garlic buttered clams on the house one time and it was also delicious.My very first visit had a long wait time outside but nowadays I just call in advance to reserve a seat. This is my first choice for sushi in Southern California.Dietary restrictions: They ask about any dietary restrictions in advance.

Highest quality sushi I've had in the US. $65 for a 10-piece omakase is an absolute steal, especially when other restaurant prices have gone up with inflation. Everything I tried was mouth-watering. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Can't wait to eat at the bar next time which is supposedly an even better experience. Going to recommend this place to everyone I know.

I used to really like this place. Now, it’s under new ownership.-The tables are now arranged to maximize the number of seats in the dining area. Every time a server passed behind me, she would bump the back of my chair because it’s so cramped in there.-There are tacky signs posted on the wall, encouraging patrons to finish their meal within 90 minutes.-The service is really fast and efficient, but the servers tend to hover when your meal is over to get you out quicker. I felt rushed and uncomfortable trying to calculate the gratuity with a server literally looking over my shoulder, waiting for me to input that info.-The prices aren’t that transparent. “MP” for Market Price Someone said they paid $65 for a 10 piece omakase, but we paid $95 for a 12 piece omakase. Something smells fishy.-MOST IMPORTANTLY: the quality of the food, specifically the fish, has taken a huge nose-dive. Considering everything in its entirety, it’s just not worth it to dine here again.

This place is terrible!!! Don’t do it!It’s like $100 pp for 12 piece omakase and they don’t have a price on the menu. Everything is market price. Fish was so fishy and chewing stringy. They have fake Yelp reviews and hide real ones. If you you dig in to real reviews you’ll see ppl complaining and the restaurant hiding them. They have new owners and the service and quality of food has gone down hill. I’ll forever tell everyone this place gross.
Ohshima Sushi is a hidden gem with a rich 17+ year history. The restaurant boasts affordable yet exceptionally high-quality sushi. The authenticity shines through with skilled Japanese chefs crafting each dish. A true haven for sushi enthusiasts seeking both tradition and value.

This is a legit omakase restaurant. When I eat omakase, I prefer to sit at the bar so my pieces come out one by one. The temperature of the fish is right and the rice is still slightly warm or room temperature. For a larger group of 6, we had to sit at a table. Luckily they still have Americanized sushi like avocado hand rolls for the kids. They have options for omakase. We opted for the 13 pieces included uni, amaebi and Toro. The uni was Santa Barbara uni. Very yummy Japanese. The cod was small and not as fresh. I probably would skip the cod.The desserts were additional. We ordered hot red bean with mochi, chocolate brownie ish cake with vanilla smoothie. They were nice to give us extra vanilla smoothie so everyone could try the dessert. I like flan so the green tea flan was dense enough and was enjoyable. And hot dessert is my friend.

Went in for lunch recently but been here many times previously with mostly good experiences. Noticed new ownership right away. Omakase still a good deal. All other items on menu are tiny portion and overly expensive. Average service and servers. When ordered cold green tea got plastic bottle tea from market, unacceptable at their price point. Tried few items and spent over $350 for lunch for two but overall lackluster service, quality and tiny portions with high $$$ was a disappointment.
