good food, bad service

by CSMobileUser

Firstly forget about waiting for a to-go order. The hostess told us that it would be 30 minutes, and after 1.5 hours, she asked me if i was waiting on my party to be sat. During thi time I sat at the bar and watched the bartender pour the same martini into the shaker 5 times.

... decent food though.

You get what you pay for

The place does well if the restaurant isn't that busy; however, if the restaurant is busy, you can wait for long periods of time, either to sit down, or to have your food delivered. The restaurant does not know how to treat customers well; maybe they'll learn eventually since the restaurant is a little new.

The food can range from very good to very disappointing. I ordered the cod 20 minutes after my friend ordered it and wow, mine sucked while his was fantastic. The only redeeming quality about this place is that the food is cheap.

I would suggest this place if you're local and want to come here with friends or coworkers and NOT suggest this place if you're trying to "treat" or "impress" somebody such as a business lunch or date.

• Pros: Great prices
• Cons: Bad service; the food is not consistent; bad decor

Never Again...

by fhteagle

Made a take out order, which we were told would be ready in an hour. A little long but understandable for 8 on a Friday night. We got there 65 min later and they had not even started making our order! Hostess behind the stand could be at best described as dismissive. During the next 15 minutes we made several requests to see the manager to the hostess and bartender, which we are similarly dismissively handled. We finally left with our take out. Got it home and several of the rolls were not what we ordered. What was in the styrofoam was bland, and nowhere near worth the high prices they were asking.

Called the manager later in the night when they had slowed down, was given the same callous attitude. Was promised a call on Monday from the owner which of course never came. So, the pattern of "the customer is always a bother" obviously starts at the top, and gets repeated all the way down. We have several friends that have reported the same problems with this place. None of us will be ever spending another dime at Oishii. There are much better sushi restaurants in the area, including Sushi Sapporo just up Oak Lawn.

• Pros: Nothing
• Cons: Service, Service, Service, oh yeah and bland sushi
