Modern, Trendy, and Built for a Night Out

Located on Page Avenue, OISHI brings a bold, upscale energy to the South Shore. Taking over the former Fushimi space, the restaurant features an open layout with a prominent sushi bar, a large fine bar, and a lively atmosphere that feels more like a downtown lounge than a traditional sushi spot.

The menu reflects that elevated, experience-driven approach. In addition to high-quality sushi and specialty rolls, OISHI offers a wide range of shareable appetizers, small plates, and creative starters that pair well with cocktails and group dining. Items like crispy duck rolls, Asian-style sliders, chilled small plates, and sushi-bar appetizers encourage a “order a little of everything” style of dining.

Beyond sushi, OISHI stands out for its diverse cooked offerings. Hibachi entrées and homestyle Asian dishes provide strong options for guests who prefer hot, hearty plates, making it an easy choice for mixed groups with different tastes. This range makes OISHI especially appealing for celebrations, date nights, and larger gatherings where variety matters.

Good for:

- Date nights and special occasions
- Groups looking to share plates and explore the menu
- Diners who want sushi alongside premium cooked entrées
- A lively, upscale, club-style dining atmosphere

Comfortable, Consistent, and Neighborhood-Focused

Oishii Sushi SI on Nelson Avenue offers a very different, equally appealing experience. This location leans into the role of a dependable neighborhood sushi restaurant—welcoming, relaxed, and easy to enjoy at any time of day.

The menu is structured around familiarity and convenience. Classic sushi rolls, hand rolls, and sashimi are front and center, supported by well-organized combo options that make ordering simple. Lunch specials, bento boxes, and party platters make Oishii Sushi SI a go-to choice for quick meals, casual sit-downs, and family dining.

Appetizers and sushi-bar starters stick to trusted favorites, with items like gyoza, tempura, crispy rice, tataki, and tuna pizza offering enough variety without overwhelming the menu. Cooked kitchen options and bento combinations round things out for diners who want something warm and filling alongside their sushi.

The overall feel is relaxed and approachable—ideal for regular visits, takeout nights, or a low-key dinner where quality and consistency matter most.

Good for:

- Casual lunch or dinner
- Takeout and delivery
- Families and neighborhood regulars
- Straightforward sushi ordering with combo options
