EaterJanuary 12, 2012Boston has its fair share of sushi, but Oishii always manages to rise to the top of the list, and is often referred to as the best in all of New England. [Eater 38 Member]
Fay RAugust 18, 2014Best sushi in Boston! Ting is an artist. To start, try the fire-roasted salmon, enoki mushroom soup, hamachi with gold truffles, black miso cod (gives Nobu a run for their $$), Named After You maki.
Emily ChalkoSeptember 19, 2016One of my favorite sushi spots in Boston. For sushi, try the Toro Truffle Maki & Crispy Mango Tuna.The salmon on fire app is amazing but the miso cod & mushrooms are great.Save room for dessert-sphere
Kaely GNovember 19, 2015This place is amazing. Cool atmosphere and great service. Impressive menu. The 'salmon on fire', 'pork belly buns', and 'crispy mango maki' are amazing and delicious.
Levent AkgermanMarch 30, 2015Sashimi: White (King) Salmon, King Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, Kampachi (big yellowtail), baby hamachi, etc. Truffle hamachi, truffle toro maki. Decor, service,Price/value the best of the best Jap in US.
Go for the salmon on fire and the toro truffle maki, other rolls were good too but theses two were the true show stealers
I love foie gras sliders, toro truffle roll, and of course salmon on fire. The new dessert menu ice melon was also very delicious!!!
- EaterJuly 9, 2013Sleek spot that's perfect for impressing dates and colleagues. From traditional sushi to a show-stopping dish with flaming salmon on a lemongrass stalk, every meal is beautiful. [Eater 38 Member]
Francisco ArrietaSeptember 1, 2014Adequate restaurant to bring a date! Try the salmon on fire, crispy pork belly, white salmon truffles with gold, and kobe slider burgers!
EpicuriousAugust 24, 2010Oishii has the most creative sushi in town - try the Kobe beef with pear or steamed lobster with cucumber and avocado. And it's tricky to find - look for two swimming fish etched into the front door.
Maddie SnaithJuly 15, 2018Truly an experience you’ll want to have! Would not recommend take-out, because it’s really all about the experience. Food was outstanding!
Spencer SchoebenFebruary 7, 2013expensive. but worth it. go here. it is incredible. perhaps the best meal of my life. if not, definitely up there. wow. wow. wow. yum. holy shit go here ASAP. fly here for it.- EpicuriousJanuary 27, 2015Here you'll find traditional noodle dishes and contemporary Asian-inspired entrées. FYI: There's no sign out front. Look for the two swimming tunas etched into the front door. Read more
Valentina TamayoSeptember 1, 2014Great place! The enviroment, the service, the food and even the music was amazing. Please try the White Salmon with truffle and golden flakes!
Alexa Jane BrooksSeptember 20, 2014Best sushi in boston by a mile. Get the smoked hamachi and toro truffle.
Brittany OakesSeptember 28, 2014This restaurant was unbelievable. A little more extensive but definitely worth it for the quality. The truffle maki was out of this world.
HollySeptember 21, 2012Don't let the pretentious waitstaff sway you. They must have to remember 2 pg of info before coming to the table. You'll that the food network has featured them instead of their own opinion . Perfect!
- You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Esp the spectacular the otoro app, grilled black cod, the toro truffle maki, the spicy scallop maki, and the delicious nabeyaki. Great martinis, too!
Alex SimonJanuary 31, 2015Salmon flaming. Sashimi on ice block. Fish with smoke. Black soba with squid (and ink). Much more
Olimpia GonzalezSeptember 1, 2014Excelent restaurant! Everything was absolutely perfect, 100% recommend. (Especially the white salmon with gold)
Jason H.May 20, 2013Creative fresh sushi in a pleasant environment. What a great way to end the day. Pricy....but worth it.
Jose TamayoSeptember 1, 2014Pretty much is good here, the white salmon with truffle is from another world.
BravoNovember 12, 2010An oasis of calm, the beautifully crafted rolls and nagiri is top quality. The waterwall brings the simple elegance of Japan to Boston. -Tania Peterson, Top Chef Just Desserts
Stephen GatesSeptember 8, 2013Some of the best sushi I have had anywhere in the world. The Foie Gras sushi is an extremely but necessary indulgence.
Kelsey BresemanFebruary 23, 2014Absolutely excellent. $20 lunch special had a great variety of flavors and was completely satisfying.
Ekaterina ObukhovaMarch 27, 2013Amazing food. Kobe beef, hamachi, tuna tartar with caviar, salmon on fire and etc.
🍕Lisa R Henderson 🍕August 23, 2012Go with the Salmon over the tuna. Has a wonderful light taste! Highly recommend the speciality rolls!
ZAGATMarch 10, 2010Try the gourmet bar snacks from 5:30–6:30 PM and 10–11:30 PM Tuesdays through Saturdays (and 5:30–9:45 PM on Sundays). Small bites like risotto and Kobe sliders are only $6.
Zack PackerAugust 17, 2014Delicious sushi, enthusiastic waitstaff, Kobe beef creations, extremely good!
Kevin WangMarch 28, 2012Best sushi place in Boston hands down. Quite pricey but totally worth it. Let's go sometime.
- nordDecember 14, 2022It's ok. The fried stuff is really good but not all of the sushi was fresh when eaten raw. Don't think it's worth the 200 we spent.
Mike StrockoFebruary 21, 2013The Sakura-smoked hamachi sashimi was featured on Food Network's "The Best Thing I Ever Ate."
