Oishi Sushi in Plymouth

Worth the price, convenient location right infront of bus stop and they are open on holidays. Spacious toilets upstairs

Not very authentic. Wide variety of options.

Lovely food at reasonable prices

Dined in for sushi, which was good but the rolls were a little big. I then ordered the ramen on Deliveroo at a separate occasion. The ramen broth lacked any depth and didn’t have much flavour to it. The pork was extremely thin and disappointing. The noodles themselves were nice and bouncy. Wouldn’t order the ramen again but the sushi is nice.

My family and I are quite regulars here and we absolutely love it! They have the best sushi in Plymouth! A wide variety, reasonably priced and all freshly made by the owner and her daughter. The staff are lovely and attentive. Whenever a relative or friend ask for restaurant recommendations, this is always among the top three. It never disappoints!

I loved it!, the sushi🍣 taste amazing! (I recommend you it💗!)

So good! Staff are lovely & charismatic and the food is delicious. I had the chicken yaki soba which was super tasty, and all of my friends' dishes looked amazing too. Will 100% be back!

Customer service so bad,won’t come back again .food is cold,disgusting food,

After 35 minutes waiting they just cancel my order and did not even called to say sorry Don't order from them

I've been here twice now. And the first time, I ordered sushi rolls and the rice in it tasted a bit strange. Not sure if it was the quality or how it was prepared. Came back a second time and ordered the katsudon (deep fried breaded pork cutlet with eggs) and tendon (tempura rice bowl), and those were both fantastic. Great flavors and everything was fried nicely and was crisp. These were both my favorite dishes when I lived in Japan. Very reasonably priced as well.

My favourite place to go for a dinner out! Lovely service and amazing food ☺️ Highly recommended!

Why is the restaurant closed every day? I was craving your ramen today and I had to settle for this dull empty ramen from some other place. I also love your sushi, delicious and perfectly on my taste. 😭

We are a blended family of British and Japanese, and we’ve been eating food from Oishi for a few years now and it occurred to me that I’ve never written a review. Oishi is absolutely the most authentic Japanese restaurant in Plymouth. We’ve eaten regularly at Koishii, Yukisan and Kuku (I’m not including Yo Sushi as it’s just too commercial to ever be considered authentic!). And as an authentic Japanese restaurant, Oishi wins, hands down. The food is freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. The portions are decent and the flavours really represent those of restaurants in Japan, as well as the way our family cooks and enjoys Japanese dishes at home. When we first started eating at Oishi, we were often the only people in the restaurant. Now we have to book in advance to secure a table as they are so busy. The popularity is well deserved. It’s hard to find such an affordable Japanese restaurant in the entire UK. Thank you Oishi staff for bringing the best Japanese food to Plymouth!

Always incredible food, literally never remotely disappointed. 500/10

Katsudon, although a bit simplistic looking, has a great texture and flavour. Nigiri 🍣, on the other hand, is far too big and is not just hard to eat, but also that it has a lot of rice compared to the fish.

My daughter & I came here for lunch & chose a set sushi platter as there was so much choice, we found it hard to choose! It was all so delicious & we were eyeing up other's meals in the restaurant which made us want to come back & try more :). Thanks so much for a gorgeous meal.

Absolutely love this place! Dining in here is an great experience. Highly recommended！

This place is amazing, the service is outstanding and the food delicious. Everything I tried was cooked to perfection, the flavours are truly Japanese and the ambient is cozy and warm. One of the best Japanese restaurants in Plymouth for sure. I will certainly come back / take-away again! 😁

Really disappointing. Food wasn't very flavoursome. Had tempura mixed fish with veg. Only 2 pieces of fish and was £10 as a starter. Teriyaki chicken, thin chicken breast and sauce thin and tasteless. Shame as that we might have found a gem

Well...the prices are cheap for this near the centre, but...there wasn't much substance or taste. I had tempura moriarty, which is battered bits of veg with 1 piece of fish and no rice, for £10.90, and bombadil veg for £11, that had rice in it. My wife had a few slivers of chicken breast and a load of rice. Add to that 2 diet cokes and 3 mini spring rollers, that puts you South of £41 ....

Their Tankastu Ramen is 100% the best ramen me and my girlfriend have had of all the places we've been to. I'm actually quite gutted we like to go to different places and try their ramen because I don't want to go anywhere else now it was so good here!

The food is glorious, the staff are a pleasure and the atmosphere is relaxing. This is one of the gems of Plymouth. Highly recommended!

Teriyaki Chicken was dry, sauce was watery. Will not return.

Food and service were equally all I could ask for. I have been eating a lot of sushi recently, and this is definitely the best in recent memory (...though it has been mainly discount meal deal sushi lol). I wanted eel sushi, and I got eel AND seared salmon roll, so I'm a happy birthday fella. I have been to every sushi place in Plymouth, and I do believe Oishi is the best :) Item ordered: Shibuya Uramaki

Amazing food and service. Really reasonable too. Will definitely be returning!

Awesome staff, delicious food, great atmosphere... Can't wait to go back 😍

Always space inside which is a shame. A real hidden gem, may be a little pricey but the food reflects the cost. Easily the best sushi place in Plymouth, possibly even Devon.

Lovely small Sushi restaurant. Super friendly and fresh sushi. Highly recommend.

Absolutely stunning place to eat. Very friendly services and they make sure you are comfortable and safe. Such a beautiful family-owned restaurant. The food is so delicious. Best places to eat. Definitely recommend going here.

The ramen was good. However, the agedashi tofu we ordered was not what we expected. Their tofu came with a very sweet sauce and thick batter.

Always quiet which is a shame as lovely people and great sushi. Better than overpriced yo-sushi 200m away!

It’s ok, nothing special, prices rises since last time I visited

Second time visiting this place - excellent food, lovely customer service, what more to say - pay it a visit. You won’t regret it

Quiet little place absolutely beautiful ramen their braised pork is just to die for can't wait to go again and try some more of the menu!

New menu since our last visit and a mini-makeover of the interiors. Food as lovely and fresh as ever. Worth seeking out.

Cosy family run place with simple food.

I’ve been planning this for a while. Had lunch with my teen on the 15th July, and as other reviews said it didn’t disappoint. We had the fried squid balls and seaweed salad as our starters, then a bowl of ramen and a £26 set sushi meal . All portion sizes were generous and pretty prompt coming out. The sushi that came with my set meal was pretty large compared to chain restaurants or supermarket bought, so I got full, and it was all so lovely and fresh. Outside and inside is pretty average and understated but you won’t be disappointed.

What a fantastic little restaurant! Came here for my partner's birthday lunch along with some friends and our kids. The service was polite, attentive and professional, every question was answered diligently. High quality and fresh ingredients throughout all courses, everything went down well and there was not a scrap left in sight. The katsu curry sauce was one of the best I've tried, along with some of the best cooked rice. The bento box was a bargain considering the portion size was huge and all our small plate dishes were reasonably priced too! We'll certainly be returning!

Excellent choice of food, everything very tasty. Very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back for more.

Outstanding food and service. Worth waiting for the freshly made food. Thank you Antonio for the extra mile you went for my daughters birthday celebration. Looking forward to returning again in the very near future. 😀

The best sushi place I’ve found in the area by some distance. Great food, prices and lovely staff.

Lovely food and atmosphere, top service, and good prices too. Will definitely go back 😊

The food was a wonderful experience, service excellent and plenty of parking nearby. We all immensely enjoyed our meal and probably ate more than usual, just to savour what was, for us, the best Japanese food we have ever had in the UK. It is a small restaurant with basic amenities but keenly priced and we will definately be back.

Food was incredible. Staff friendly and food came out pretty fast. Has a great choice to select from as well.

Best food and very friendly staff and service !!

Nice and tasty sushi and foods. Good service and ambience

Delicious food for eat in and takeaway, highly recommend.

Delivery was a little late, but the food was delicious. I can highly recommend the tonkatsu. Will definitely order from here again.

My daughters birthday so we ordered a large lunch. Wanting to take home the majority of the food we were amazed they only allowed us 2 small takeaway dishes. Despite asking for another one they refused and said we must just squeeze all the food together. After spending £65 this left us very upset. Won't be going back

Food is always impeccable, tastes fresh and portion sizes are great. Service is always friendly and welcoming. Definitely a place to visit for sushi lovers! Lots of variety and great prices.

Unfortunately the eel was overcooked.

Absolutely delicious sushi and ramen. I have enjoyed the food immensely.

Dont be put off by the basic appearance of this place. Its humble and simple because the food does the talking. It feels like im back in Tokyo, its exactly how it should be.

Food is incredible, fast and friendly service. Would reccomend to anyone.

Nothing too impressive but good enough.

DO NOT USE this place through Deliveroo. They use their own drivers who are incompetent. My address is clear as day and I order through Deliveroo on a weekly basis with no issues whatsoever. We live in saltram meadows housing estate and the delivery driver opted to take the clear construction route that is closed to the public instead of looking for another way into the estate they chose to return the food to the store. The number on the receipt was a complete different one to our mobile number on the account, it even started in 020 and the driver supposedly attempted to call us a couple times before turning around. After waiting for hours we decided to Call Deliveroo who said we needed to contact the restaurant as they use their own drivers. The restaurant refused to refund us or re deliver the food as they said the road into the estate was closed but anyone with any common sense and a phone would of seen clearly how to get to our adress, like any other delivery driver or postman we’ve ever had. We’re now £25 out of pocket and no food with no help from either Deliveroo or oishi.

Nice small Japanese restaurant in town. Had tonkatsu ramen and salmon nigiri and we're both superb. My new fav Japanese place 🍜🍣👌

Occasionally would order takeaway from them when I was living there, finally went in the other day and bruh I missed this food so damn much. Ordered a tonkotsu ramen and it was so rich and good in an almost sickly way but bruh I kept eatin I definitely gotta go again tho tf

I come here once a week for a treat and I always look forward to it Welcoming staff who are always smiling and respectful every time I've been in and the food is absolutely delicious and so cheap (i rarely spend over £20 and its 2 small plates, a main, and a drink), I genuinely can't get enough of it, its almost addictive I look forward to it every week 🍲

Easily the best authentic Japanese cooking in Plymouth. Try the katsu chicken curry bento box. Great value and filling.

Good food, good price and very friendly.

A non-descript shop front just off Plymouth's main street. Do not let the decor put you off. It may be a little dated but the food is well worth it. We had a variety of starters: tempura prawns, gyoza and teriyaka. All amazingly tasty, arrived promptly and was hot. Main was a set meal of nigiri, mini rolls, uramaki and again, they were spot on. There was a good mix of octopus, sweet beancurd, salmon etc. Perfect for the three of us. Presentation was good. We also had sake and at £14 for about a half-bottle, was a nice addition to the meal. For three of us with starters, mixed platter, sake and a coke was just short of £60. I feel this is very good value. We will certainly be back again and whilst we were there, it was a busy lunch and popular and I can see why.

Yeah…I’m not coming here ever again. This just isn’t it. I’ve been here twice, the first time I just ordered some hand cut rolls and they weren’t too bad. Second time round, I dined in with some friends and when the food came out is was really disappointing. I don’t like giving bad reviews, but I’m sorry to say this wasn’t the best food experience I’ve had in Plymouth. We got an array of dishes on their menu - gyoza, two different types of donburi, sashimi, takoyaki, chicken wings, and the only thing that wasn’t that bad was the miso soup. They put too much sugar in the teriyaki chicken and chicken yakitori sauce. The chicken wings had more bone that meat and we’re the size of a pinkie. The takoyaki needed more octopus in it and the sashimi was really not fresh, and looked dull in colour. I think if you do come here, just stick to the hand cut rolls or nigiri since they are always neatly presented and the prices aren’t too bad.

It was really comforting for me to have found this place. I was dying for a sushi, and in the previous restaurant I stopped by (in the Barbican) they treated me like sh!t. Here, at oishi, they didn't pay attention to how I was dressed or that I was (obviously) wet because it had been raining since an hour earlier. They treated me just as well as any other client there. They were cordial, attentive, and my rolls were delicious and gorgeous!! I ate with my eyes!! Price is super fair and there are plenty of options for various tastes.

A nice little place with friendly staff. The food was delicious as well as being a reasonable price. They offer a large and varied selection, quite difficult to decide, would definitely visit again.

This isn't a fancy place but the food is really good and not expensive. I am really looking forward to eating here again very soon

By FAR the best sushi restaurant (and arguably the best restaurant) in Plymouth. I would always choose to order sushi from here. Such an authentic atmosphere, amazing service, the staff are exceptional. No faults

Food was okay too much rice on the rolls. Service was not very good as we went at lunchtime which had no one there Except us and it took a little while for them to serve us and getting the bill was a challenge to get their attention. Plates were still left on other tables from previous customers. The staff speak Cantonese and was commenting that all we wanted to eat was sushi. I hope the staff will be more mindful speaking in Cantonese in front of customers next time.

Don't let it fool you if it's empty, go in! The sushi was amazing, will definitely go again.

Great sushi at a very reasonable price and friendly staff.

Service and food here is always fantastic. I've spent a great amount of time in Japan and the food here is as close as it gets and is the real deal. Polite staff who make you feel welcome and deliver an amazing experience every time I go.

A great place. Seems like a family run business. Loved their bento. I ordered take out from them before which was okay but after dining in, I am really happy with their service. Will try again for sure.

Perfect, two of us and we had the sushi set meal and it was beautifully made, service was very friendly and professional. Cannot think of one flaw of our experience. Go here!

Visited for the first time today for a late lunch. Ordered a mix of sushi which was all extremely delicious and in my opinion very reasonably priced. Will definitely visit again.

So disappointing. I ordered the bento box and the salmon was so incredibly dry it was inedible. Wouldn't order again.

The best Japanese restaurant ever! Phoenix and crispy salmon rolls are so delicious! The service is the best too!

We were really disappointed with our order, certainly not worth £95 for four people! Almost all the food was over salted - especially the vegetable spring rolls. We waiting over an hour and a half for delivery, which the online app was not updated with. We called a couple of times to be told by a brash and rude person that their driver was not there yet and he'd be another 20 minutes to collect it. Very disappointing when it finally arrived and half of it was cold, and all of it was underwhelming. No real flavour to any of it. Do not recommend.

Amazing sushi restaurant. Food was absolutely delicious and service was great. We had Tuna Sashimi, Chicken Gyoza, Spicy Tuna Temaki, Katsu Chicken Roll so so good! We will be back

Very good food, nice staff, would recommend.

Went last night as a friend recommended it, let's just say yo sushi is overrated and this place is a million times better, better food, better service, better price for what it is. And staff cannot be better, definitely will come again

Sat down for a brief early dinner. Simple menu but all dishes were good and authentic quick friendly service too!

delicious and perfect portion sizes

Lovely little sushi restaurant not to far to walk from the car parks or the train station/bus stop. Alot of choices on the menu and lovely food that is presented really well when it comes to the table. The staff are really pleasant and services is quick. Never eaten at a sushi restaurant before, but well recommended for first timers or if youre like my girlfriend who loves sushi, then you wont be disappointed. :)

Amazing flavours. Very extensive menu and our overal favourite was the salmon teriaki bento box. Delicious. 😍

I came in here with my mum and we ordered a mixture of sushi such as maki, nigiri and urumaki. The food was lovely and tasted very fresh. I’ve eaten at quite a few sushi places and this is some of the nicest sushi I’ve eaten. Will definitely go again!

Best ramen I've had here in Europe. The sashimi rolls are quite delicious as well but I'm more of a ramen enthusiast myself 😋😋

Fantastic authentic sushi. Also had sashimi which was perfect. Really missed this stuff since we moved out to a smaller town but this was a really welcome way to re visit our old favourite cuisine. The prawn tempura roll was out of this world good!

Amazing food, authentic atmosphere, competitive price, and great service! Would recommend to anyone who likes sushi.

We had a take away that we collected. At first, we were unsure as the restaurant itself was not busy, but the phone was ringing constantly and they were busy with take aways orders. We enjoyed the sushi we ordered!

Have tried to order twice this week for a delivery and both times order was accepted through Uber Eats then cancelled! What is the point of showing on a delivery app when you won't take the order! Will not be wasting my time again on this place. The PayPal payment was taken I better see it refunded soon.

Popped in for lunch today. What a find, reasonably priced, perfectly fresh sushi, sashimi and nagiri. We also had the mixed tempura. All of it really good. Thoroughly recommended.

3 of us ate for under £40 which is unheard of these days! Food was absolutely delicious, arrived promptly and beautifully presented. It was our first time here but will definitely be back again 💖

Came in with a friend to study together and have a little lunch and we got so much more than we expected. The takoyaki was delicious and we'll absolutely be back for more

I came here by chance after walking away from Yo sushi and it was the best decision. It was just a lunch time one weekday. The staff, though very quiet were friendly and attentive, the service was quick. The food was amazingly fresh and tasty. The portions and sizes were great too. As mentioned previously I'd been to Yo before this and the sushi here was almost twice as big and seemed so much tastier. I also had miso and chicken teriyaki. The hot food too was lovely. Price wise, I think I spent less than I had last time at Yo and as I said, the portions were so much better. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

Excellent food, probably best in Plymouth

I went in for a quick meal in between a train change over (and was really keen for some sushi!) - staff were super helpful, very attentive and considerate, portion sizes were huge and fairly priced. Really relaxed atmosphere, very, very happy here! Will come again.

Loved it. Worth every penny and very generous with the amount of seafood in the seafood fried rice! Will be back!

Amazing place. Great service. Yummy food! I don’t like sushi but the noodles were delicious and the people that ate sushi said it was the best ever. Very reasonable prices. Also vegan options, but you have to ask as it doesn’t say on the menu. So glad we found it. Will definitley return! All of us loved it.

Ramen took good care of my throat

Delicious and much better value than what you can find at YO! Sushi. I always like how quiet it is in here and they are always happy to serve me my favourite meal when I go there. Don't listen to some of these people as clearly they don't understand what sushi is. 10/10
