Update: They have gone downhill in service unfortunately. Last time we were there the server didn't really listen to us, had to get someone to help translate (which is fine, it just took longer) and then got our order messed up. No apology. Then once they corrected the order, he just plopped it down on the table and walked away. Didn't really even further check on us, or give water refills. Also, the whole time they have these like gambling machine sounds that are really loud. It may have just been their doorbell or card machine, I couldn't really tell, but it wasn't pleasant for dine-in.We now recommend ordering take-out only if you get food there.Prior review:Food was flavorful and they have some great dishes. Service was great and staff helpful.

To-Go only from here due to poor service/management. The food is very good. Recommend the tempura sweet potato roll.

You're going to have a hard time finding a better hibachi place. and I've been to a ton of hibachi places. This is definitely tied for my favorite of all time. Seriously, this is consistently one of the best. And although I always come here for the hibachi, the shrimp on fire roll probably one of the best sushi rolls you will ever have as well.

My boyfriend brought me here for a date. It was great! It was my first time getting hibachi so I wasn't too sure what to expect. We ordered the sirloin steak with miso soup and salad. It was an almost overwhelming portion of food. The picture does not do it justice. At the beginning the server also tossed broccoli in the air for us to catch with our mouths! I will definitely be back. I may try the hibachi lunch special next time.

No reservations are taken. We went on Saturday around 12:45 and were seated at a Habachi table within 3 minutes.Plenty of room for everyone, our waitress was very nice and efficient. Our cook was very friendly and talented. The food was delicious and plentiful. If you get steak, you may want to get the sirloin or better. The Teriyaki steak was delicious but a bit chewy. Be prepared to take some home because you get plenty. The prices are very reasonable. Two of us got water so for three of us to eat and a 20% tip, I was right at $90. Wer had chicken, teriyaki steak and shrimp Habachi. I definitely will go back.

It was delicious as always and everyone had a good time. The only issue was getting refills on the softdrinks. Other words we look forward in going back and celebrating more family birthdays!Kid-friendliness: It was my granddaughter's 17th birthday celebration .

I generally get a hibachi lunch special to-go, and the price and portion size is JUST PERFECT! (It's actually lunch and a "mid-afternoon slump" snack too!) The staff is always incredibly courteous, and the food is just as amazing! I cannot recommend this place enough, especially for lunch!

It was an icy cold mid January weekday so the restaurant was more available to cater to a big crowd. The food was great. The drinks were good. The staff waited until all13 guests arrived to seat us together, chair to chair basically. Reservations are unfortunately not taken. It was my birthday and I was allowed to bring the birthday cake. Loved the entertainment and cheer of the atmosphere. Loved the birthday song sung to me by the staff with their adorable little drum and lighted red velvet cake with a big firecracker like candle. They handed out a little tiara which was an appreciated token. My friend has a lethal allergy to shrimp and it was taken cared of very well by the chef. He first cooked the rice, then vegetables, and meats, and seafood at the very end so there was no chance of cross contamination. I bought gift cards in advance and paid $490 including 18% tip for chef and server so you can eyeball a rough amount for your party. Sake is $5 each and soda is $3.50. It’s a great place to party and make memories.I hope you found my review helpful.

I’m torn making this review. I have always loved dining and eating at Oishi. The food and service has traditionally been great. We decided to order takeout for a change and it was a bit of a let down. The prices were still very high, but you receive much less food. They charge you if you want extra sauce despite it being free when you dine in. On top of this, the food is definitely not made to the same standard. The rice was bland, the shrimp was rubbery and the steak had no seasoning or flavor. We will not be ordering takeout from here again anytime soon.
