Editorial Review for Oishii Sushi Bar – by Eric Grossman
The Scene
Rare is the time when all 13 seats aren't taken in the blink-and-you'll-miss-it dining room. Odds are once you're seated, you'll find yourself face-to-fish at the sushi bar, where expert hands slice and roll fresh, top-quality seafood.
The Food
While the sushi is superb, don't neglect the rest of the extensive menu, as the hot dishes are exceptional as well. For starters, the miso soup is light and flavorful, and the shrimp and vegetable tempura isn't greasy. The beef yaki ishi, a heaping portion of vegetables, rice, and steak on a sizzling stone grill, lets you cook. Regarding Oishii's sushi, the options seem endless; the rolls are filling and of the highest quality. The Boston maki features salmon, avocado, cucumber, and Boston lettuce, and fresh, tangy pickled ginger and butt-kicking wasabi add to the experience.

Insider Tips
Save MoneyThe lunch box special, available Tue-Fri 11:30am-3pm, is a top bargain and a wonderful beginner's course for those unfamiliar with sushi.
Know Before You GoLacking a liquor license, Oishii's friendly waiters encourage patrons to bring their own beer, wine and spirits.

This place is awesome. The wait is usually long and it's not exactly romantic or anything, but the food tastes great. There is no better place for fresh and yummie sushi and appetizers in all of Boston. If you like things spicy, I suggest the maki with baked scallop on top. It might be called Jeffrey's maki or something. It's a person's name. I also love the scorched yellow tail maki and the black cod is delicious! If you are a sushi lover you must go!
Pros: Food
Cons: No tables

I just do not understand why this place is suppose to be good. Last time I went here, I ended up in the bathroom for the rest of my night. It is overpriced, crowded, horrbile service, and dirty. Do not recommend this place at all... I think the supermarket offers better sushi.
Pros: cant think of any
Cons: the list goes on and on
