Enjoyed a nice lunch here with my partner today after strolling in. We were quickly seated for lunch and the staff was quite attentive. The food was pretty well priced and tasty. I ordered the sushi deluxe which has a very nice mix of different sushi that were all well-prepared and portioned. My partner had two rolls and then the steak teriyaki. Great fare for sushi in Norwalk and would heartily recommend!

Amazing service and catering experience! We've been enjoying Oishi for years, and the sushi is always fresh and delicious—my daughter's favorite and mine! So, naturally, we chose them to cater our wedding after-party (since our wedding was a destination event), and it was the perfect decision! Pete, Vicki, and their team went above and beyond to create a beautiful, fresh, and absolutely delicious display. They were incredibly accommodating with menu planning and a pleasure to work with. They even ended the night with a personalized edible display!

Update: I decided to give the restaurant another chance and this time I went to dine in. The experience was totally different—their sushi was delicious, and the service was much better than I expected. I guess the first time it was just bad timing. ————- I regret to say that my recent experience at Oishi Sushi & Izakaya was disappointing. Despite placing orders regularly every other week, my pickup experience this time was marred by prolonged delays and disorganization. I was told my order would be ready in 15 minutes, it took over 50 minutes for it to be prepared. The lack of communication and management presence during this time was frustrating, leaving both myself and other customers waiting without any explanation or reassurance. While I appreciate the quality of their sushi, the consistently poor service detracts from the overall experience. I hope they can address these issues to provide a more satisfactory experience for their customers in the future.

Stopped in for lunch one Saturday and although we were the only ones in the place, the food was fantastic and the service was speedy! The lunch special was a bit pricier than you’d find at a Sushi joint more toward New Haven, but the interior is modern and decorated, more intimate and romantic so that’s most likely why. Cute place.

I always felt Oishi was always a good, but not great, place for dinner in Norwalk. That changed tonight. Jessica was a great server and incredibly attentive to our needs, while also being a joy to talk to. Looking forward to going again for the opportunity to see her.

My boyfriend and I are obsessed with Oishi, it’s always our #1 choice for date night. We’re always greeted with kindness and enthusiasm. Don’t forget to order the Sushi Sashimi Omakase (for 2 people)!! Yesterday I convinced my friends to host their birthday dinner here and we were given the best service, the food was amazing, and we had so much fun!

Tasty sashimi omakase! The quality of the fish and the various cuts were all flavorful and fresh. The service was absolutely fantastic and accommodating. The only small nit pick is that the sashimi slices were a bit smaller than I've seen in some other places, but overall a strong recommend
