this place is one of my favs for a reason! haven't been in a while but it's somehow even better than before. the soup & salad are the perfect appetizers, as is the idaho roll. i love the hibachi - the sauce is full of flavor. the waitress was very quick and kind, and the place has a welcoming vibe. you must try this!!

The service was very good and quick. We ordered miso soup, sushi, and beer. It came quick and was delicious . The place is small but clean and full of customers.

Located on Main st Worcester MA Came here for a quick lunch My guest ordered hibachi chicken and I had General Gaus Bento box lunch Both meals were good and I'll be back to try something new

Great lunch! I had the sushi combo with soup and salad. Very spacious, seems update, right on Main Street, great service. I would go again.

I am a big fan of Oishi Japanese Restaurant. Located right on Main Street, this place has plenty of parking options ranging from parking lots to street parking. The outside decoration and signage were well crafted giving off a very polished vibe. The interior is beautifully decorated with plenty of seats that can accommodate large parties to intimate dinners. The service is very fast and the wait staff is very friendly. I ordered the hibachi chicken and salmon which came up around $18. The plate and portions were massive. I loved the sweet teriyaki and savory egg fried rice. We also ordered chicken wings, which were absolutely bomb. Juicy and crispy just like they should be. I was very impressed with my dine-in experience! Check them out if you're in the area!

I had written almost the entire review, and then decided to switch from four stars to five. I do have some minor notes, but I decided some of these (such with the pork belly buns) could be a matter of taste. Further, the sushi was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. I had the opportunity to try: - Pork Belly Buns - Crab Rangoons - Unagi Maki - Firecracker Maki Pork Belly Buns - didn't really do it for me. Perhaps I have become picky with such things, and am seeking out some kind of 'perfection' which I had in a restaurant that has since changed the recipe. On the positive side the pork was cooked very nicely and was rather tender. However, on the flip side, I found it bland - there were some savory notes, though they were muted. The sauce was very mild in flavor and resembled a lightly sweetened gravy. Further, the sauce on the side an already on the buns appeared very similar, if not the same thing. The cucumber was a nice touch, though I would have preferred a little more, and the sauce overtook a bit. I should mention I ended up sending this one back - asking for the Crab Rangoons instead. They were able to switch this for me, thank you very much :) I'd also like to mention that they state this item is very popular, so this might just be me being nitpicky, maybe. Crab Rangoons - were solid. They were piping hot and fresh straight from the fryer! They were cooked perfectly and of a very decent size. My critique with these is the filling was a little unidimensional. The only flavors I was able to pick up on was sweetened cream cheese. I want to say I would have preferred it be a little more 'crabby'. However, having made rangoons myself, I can tell you crab sticks are not tremendously flavorful on their own. It is about what's added to the filling itself. Unagi Maki - was great! It was well-balanced in eel to cucumber to avocado. The sauce wasn't overdone, and the rice was high quality. As much as I love creative rolls, sometimes simplicity just works. Firecracker - was excellent! There was a very generous amount of top-quality fish. Like with the unagi, the rice was high quality. The sauce was not at all overpowering, and the tempura gave a light, pleasant crunch. My only note here is that I didn't find this roll spicy. Usually jalapeno is enough to trigger a feeling of heat. This could be the nature of the roll, or the nature of my tongue... likely a combination of both. The service was polite and fast. However, where the tables were behind the partition they are hidden from view. Though, it only took peeking from out of it to get the server's attention.

Food was great! Very quick, very polite service. Food is really good price nowadays in this economy, and you get good portions too. Nice quiet atmosphere and great for a nice lunch/dinner.
