Reviews for Oishi Sushi Bar in Tampa, FL

Oishi Sushi Bar has a clean and quiet atmosphere to enjoy decent sushi and thai dishes. Their menu range from appetizers, soups,... salads, sushi, don bowls, bento boxes, to thai curry. My first visit was on a Sunday afternoon and the service was slow and thewait staff seemed a bit uninterested being there. I noticed that one of the wait staff also was making the sushi I ordered,though she didn't seem to the usual sushi chef there. The crispy tofu came out very lightly warm and seemed to have been thawedout and hurriedly prepped. This affected the taste and the usual expected crisp was missing from these 'crispy' tofu. Thebento box had a very nice variety of different items just in the right portions for a bento box. The pad thai tasted quite nice,while the nigiri didn't taste as fresh as could have been. However, the presentation of the bento box was very pleasing to theeye. The Keywest roll with spicy conch was my most favorite here. The crunchy and spicy conch add a very tasty combination offlavors with cucumber and sushi rice. I could have had two rolls of these. The Fresh Salmon roll has double layers of freshsalmon (inside as well on top). Although this roll came recommended by some of my other yelp friends, unfortunately the salmonin this roll didn't taste very fresh to me. Though the taste wasn't terrible, but salmon tasted a bit 'un-fresh'. I willreturn to Oishi again to try some of their thai dishes and have their Keywest roll again. Read more

The place is nice and the staff is friendly but the food wasn't quite what we expected. The calamari was overpriced for the... amount we received and on top of that not good at all. Really oily and overcooked. Their crab Rangoon is not what you wouldnormally expect. They put curry powder in it and that was not explained on the menu. The only thing I liked was the miso soupand seaweed salad. Not coming back unfortunately. Read more

Absolutely excellent! I give high praise to a sushi restaurant that has more than 20 specialty rolls and a primary focus on... SUSHI rather than hot food entrees. We will be going back soon!! Very soon! Read more

Literally just ordered $50 worth of sushi and it is HORRIBLE. Me and my boyfriend tried this place literally LAST WEEK dining in... for there lunch special and it was AMAZING! But today we ordered to go and my ?Crunchy Spicy Salmon Roll? is JUST RICE! It is sodry with literally no spicy Mayo sauce!!! Like there is nothing! My boyfriends ?Philly Roll? is the same thing no creamcheese!!!! This is not okay. We spend a lot of money for this??? Horrible. Read more

Still 5 stars. So fresh, so tasteful, and the plating is beautiful. Brought another couple with and they agreed on the quality... and flavor of the sushi. Wife had teriyaki chicken (not a sushi person) and it was very good as well. Tried some appetizers thistime as well. The crab Rangoon were not super traditional, but we all loved the. The pot stickers were great too. Cant wait togo back. If you're in the area, the take out was booming on a Tuesday evening, word is definitely spreading about how good thisplace is. Read more

This is absolutely the best melt in your mouth sushi. The rolls are fresh and the rice is so well prepared. Service is... outstanding. We will definitely be back again. Read more

presentation was beautiful, food was delicious. If you?re a sauce person this is your kind of sushi, we got a NTU, Tokyo Tower... and Tornado And A Sunomono. Inside is such a nice atmosphere, very calming for a quick lunch ! :) Read more

There are several places for sushi in the area but this one is by far the best. The selection of specialty rolls is substantial... with great flavor combinations. Everything is always incredibly fresh and the consistency of the rice is on-point. I love thatthey don't make you feel bad about making substitutions like some sushi places (I can't stand cream cheese on sushi). I alsoadore the veggie soup they serve - fresh, crisp veggies in broth and crispy garlic - I could eat it every day. And it comes witha yummy little side salad! The restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly. I was a little disappointed that their menu waschanged (I'm guessing due to COVID and staffing issues) to take away most of the Thai dishes but I'm hopeful that as theyrecover from these difficult times they will bringing them back. I will be a regular for as long as I live in this area. Read more
