We have been getting takeout from Oiso since 2020 and have had only exceptional sushi and great experiences. The chefs execute the dishes consistently perfect and the front of house staff provides excellent customer service. Despite no online order option, the call in orders are super easy and the pick up times are usually short. Selecting sushi rolls is easy due to the pictures on the online menu and we have been more than happy with all that we have tried. After trying numerous rolls, the two that we now always have to include in our orders are the Chef Kim’s and the Crazy Crunch, both of which we have not seen anywhere else but at Oiso. The Sushi Bento box is my favorite, which includes a great variety of food at a great value.
A warm, quiet, and peaceful sushi restaurant with delicious food and great service from really nice people. Production is swift and well executed with attention to detail. It’s a small and busy restaurant but the kitchen and wait staff work seamlessly together with mechanical precision to handle the dinner rush. Everything I ordered was top notch and delicious, and the sushi is among the best in the area. Of particular note was the Hamachi Kama. It’s described as fish head on the menu but it’s really fish collar, which is my second favorite cut of fish after the belly. So don’t be daunted by the thought of your appetizer looking back at you as you eat it - there’s no eyeball in this dish (bummer for me, I really love salty sweet fish eyes). They season and deep fry the collars perfectly, so that the delicious rich fatty meat (think of it as almost like fish bacon) is firm but not dry. The skin is my favorite. I eat the meat first and then dip the skin into the accompanying sauce which is also amazing, and it’s like a eating crispy fish potato chip. Truly a unique treat!
Excellent place great variety of food. Visit with a group of coworkers, staff was amazingly friendly, extremely polite and very helpful. Food was the best, everything was very fresh and tasty. The mochi ice cream is a most, simply delicious! The best part was all prices were very affordable. One of the best restaurants I have visited.
Food was amazing, service was excellent and the staff are so sweet and funny. Got complimentary soup and overall I’d come back and would definitely recommend others to try this place out. Very chill and cozy vibe.
Now THIS is what I call sushi. Everything about this place is perfect even down to the staff. They deserve the world here. The sushi chefs are precise and develop beautiful rolls with an abundance of flavor. I would go here everyday if I could. Thank you Oiso and continue what you do!

This was my first time eating here. The food was delicious and the service was great. I had the Crazy Crunch and Hawaiian Rolls and edamame. Will absolutely come back next time in town.
Updated menu has been more focused on fish now . Bento box is nice amaazzing the fried sushi wrapped in potato is worth trying food was fast, delicious and we'll portioned the male clearing our plates was very attentive, got us extra plates without asking, and overall the staff was kind and great if you are feeling some unique sushis or Korean, I'd recommend this spot they don't have the hot stone bowls anymore but the spicy tuna tower is the bomb
The best taste that you can't even taste in Korea! The ground wasabi sauce feels like a signature here. I don't know when I'll go again, but I really want to eat it again!
