Oishii is a small, unassuming sushi restaurant on Richmond Avenue near Greenway and Upper Kirby, the kind of spot regulars keep coming back to for years. The menu runs through nigiri and sashimi plates alongside specialty rolls like the Houston Maki, Crazy Sunny Maki, and Da Bomb Roll, with the Sumo Maki serving as the go-to for anyone wanting a fried option. Croquettes, temaki, and classics like spicy tuna and eel round things out.
Service is friendly and has a reputation for keeping people at the table longer than they planned, and staff turnover is famously low — some servers have been there for over a decade. The combination of quality and value draws a crowd, and it's common to wait for a table during busy hours.
