I am OBSESSED with this place. My sister lives nearby and I happily walk 0.5 mile uphill to get here! Sushi rolls are amazing, and the staff cares about making your experience a great one. Do not sleep on this place - you will thank me!

Diner Review №2

I’m a bit of a sushi snob, this place is great quality. Very fresh and delicious.
Hand rolls were great.

Diner Review №3

Do not let the outside fool you! This was one of the best sushi’s in San Diego! The menu had a picture of every roll and the waitress said we could create our own. Get the sampler appetizer!

Diner Review №5

Food was the best, cute place, and service was amazing.

Pad Thai and Tom Kha is as good as in Thailand.

Diner Review №7

Diner Review №8

Super friendly, everyone in the store welcomed us as we walked in. Great service. We had Pad Kee Mao (also known as drunken noodle), and Pad See Ew. Both were good. Big menu with lots of options.

Diner Review №9

I love coming here for their happy hour which is 2-5 daily! Lisa is so kind and welcoming as well as the rest of the staff. Their sushi is reasonably priced and good quality.

Diner Review №10

I love the happy service here. The food is good and service fast.

Diner Review №11

Very good fusion of Japanese and Thai cuisine, very friendly staff and very quick. The sushi nigiri was very good and fresh

Diner Review №12

I'd call it sushi with a Thai twist. Overall fairly decent. Everything was reasonably tasty, but slightly different than typical Japanese food. The service was very fast and very friendly.

The surprise came with the bill. I wanted a simple small green side salad like you would get at any sushi restaurant for a few bucks. What I got was a few leaves of lettuce, some cucumber slices, a bunch of tofu cubes and wonton crisps and a $9 price tag. Along with the roll, miso and tip it set me back almost $40, which is too much.

I eat sushi all over the country and 1 roll, miso and small salad should not be more than $25 tops. I can find excellent sushi at that price in any major metro area. What they need on the menu is a simple green side salad--just some chopped lettuce and a little dressing. It should not be more than $3-4 max.

Diner Review №13

I ordered the spring rolls and Tom kha soup, absolutely phenomenal!! The spring rolls came with a spicy sauce which combined with the peanut sauce really sent the flavor to the moon. The soup was creamy and exploding with flavor. Cannot wait to order from here again!

Diner Review №14

Everything was delicious and everyone was really nice 😊 I recommend the mango sticky rice for dessert

Diner Review №15

Diner Review №20

First time and overall well worth my money. Food was great , friendly service and peaceful experience. Recommend to try the crab fried rice, angel wings so good

Diner Review №21

One of the best sushi and Thai restaurants anywhere!!! Used to love this place in Santee and I am glad to see it return to San Diego. Definitely go try this place!!!

Diner Review №22

Food was amazing. Nice clean place to have Japanese Cuisine. Make sure to try one of the soups. The flame of n the middle was a lot of fun.

Diner Review №23

Ordered to go, the sushi’s great but the rice is a bit too salty.

Diner Review №24

Food was awesome and so was the service! The couple who were working that night were super friendly and very attentive to our needs. One of the best thai places I have been to in San Diego. It is hidden in a little shopping center in La Mesa but worth the trip!

Diner Review №25

OMG, I loved the orange chicken and pad see ew! I’ve tried orange chicken at a lot of places, but this spot has the best in San Diego. The batter is so light and crispy, and the meat is amazing. I can’t wait to try more dishes here. I’ll definitely be back!

Diner Review №26

Diner Review №27

This place is the best! They have the best mango sticky rice and always treat every customer like they have been friends forever. Their sushi is also fresh especially the salmon nigiri it melts like butter and is super yummy. They remember me and my mom every time and they are always the sweetest.

Diner Review №28

Service - Everyone that works here does so with a smile on their face and pep in their step. But not so much with a sense of urgency but with the desire to serve and offer an awesome quality of service.

Food - I joke not when I say every bite was explosive and fresh. Sushi was FRESH. Pork noodle soup was FRESH, The seafood FRESH! Also the Thai tea mochi is in a big cup. ^^

-Portions were reasonable overall and kind of sad I didn't get more. But hey it leaves room for dessert.

Atmosphere - Feels calm and the music definitely helps and the art to compliment.

Overall - Will come again. ~(•~ • ~
"Will for sure come again" - my gf

Diner Review №29

We went during dinner rush on a Friday and it took a while to get all the food but it was worth the wait. The food was excellent and the atmosphere gave me good feels.

Diner Review №30

Great food and great service! Happy hour had great menu items for a great price. The orange chicken was delicious and tasted fresh. Good rolls and appetizers and the Thai tea with Boba was delicious! Definitely coming back!

Diner Review №31

Oishii is such a hidden gem! Very clean, and the insanely friendly and attentive staff make you feel right at home. The highlight for me was the pork noodle soup—seriously, it’s the closest thing I’ve found to authentic street noodle soup from Thailand. Such a rare find! Everything we tried was fresh and delicious. I’m already planning my next visit. Highly recommend!

Also 50% off apps and some rolls, beer and Thai tea for happy hour. Can’t beat it. Everyday from 2-5pm.

Diner Review №32

The food was great, the pork belly appetizer dish was awesome. We had a curry and Chinese fried rice which were both really good. The owner is very friendly and the place has a great vibe. Fried banana’s with coconut ice cream is awesome!

Diner Review №33

Diner Review №34

I had the chow mein combination along with the pork jowl, and everything was delicious. The sushi is also some of the best ive had in a while. The portions you receive are also good and worth every penny.

Diner Review №35

Immediate friendly staff and service. Food was the best I’ve had in a long time. Staff were so considerate the whole time. Hard to find places with these qualities. Thank you.

Diner Review №36

So delicious and friendly service! We’ll definitely be going back.

Diner Review №37

This new restaurant is one of the best Thai places in all of San Diego. Really nice atmosphere and decor inside, and amazing food. Also the owners are incredibly nice and they really care about providing a great experience. I highly recommend supporting them and trying this place.

Diner Review №38

Diner Review №39

very yummy, great place to play Pokemon Black

Diner Review №40

Now this is a fantastic Thai Japanese restaurant! They have a very wide selection of dishes and their lunch meals do not disappoint.
It used to be located in Santee, my coworkers and I would go there every week for lunch.
Now, in their new location, they are as good as they were before. You will keep coming back.

Diner Review №41

Lisa is incredible. This has quickly become a comfort spot for me, because of Lisa's warm and welcoming personality and the delicious curry. I've tried a couple other items on the menu, but always find myself coming back for their yellow curry 😊 I am just creature of habit. This is certainly my favorite food spot, on a good day, on a bad day, Oishii is THE spot. Not to mention their AWESOME happy hour deals. If you're in the area this is definitely the place to go. I am a customer for life!!!!

Diner Review №42

Quaint and nice. Food was outstanding. Service was amazing. I want more sushi!

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №46

Just went there today to eat a super rare item from Thailand. Their food very outstanding. So good. Highly recommended!!!

Diner Review №47

Diner Review №48

Really lovely people. We had a large group and they were very attentive, even gave us free edamame to try since she said it’s their most popular appetizer and it was all delicious. The sushi was pretty average tasting, but definitely better than other spots in this area. Our friends also tried the pad thai, cho mein, crab fried rice, mango sticky rice, thai iced tea, all was very delicious. We will definitely be going back

Diner Review №49

We took our college kids to try out this place near SDSU. We were pleasantly surprised how great the food and services are. We ordered several rolls, Tom yum noodle soup and they were all delicious! Our server Lisa was friendly and attentive. Don’t forget to come for their happy hour, our girls got Thai ice tea with boba for 3 bucks!

Diner Review №50

My kids wanted sushi but I wanted Thai. This place was perfect since it has both. The service was very friendly. They improved the interior a lot since taking over the space. We all enjoyed our food. We’ll come again 😋😊

Diner Review №51

Absolutely blown away with the service and food. Outstanding authentic Thai and our sushi was delightful. Every plate was piping hot anso, so good. Excited to come back already!

Diner Review №52

My friends and I love Oishii! Their happy hour has amazing deals and even delicious vegan options like the fried tofu and spicy edamame. The owners are super nice and the service is great too! It’s super cute inside and walkable if you are living in collage area. I highly recommend checking it out!

Diner Review №53

Super nice people? Yes. Super good sushi? No. It is okay, but since I see it rated at 4.8 and I thought I travel for this would be worth it but it really wasn't. California roll was very average. I wish I could rate them higher. May be they have better dishes but I wouldn't risk it again.

Diner Review №54

Great food and service. Our new favorite sushi spot!

Diner Review №55

Unexpectedly came here for happy hour and the sushi was so good. Also tried the egg rolls, pad thai and the crispy pork. The crispy was delicious, but a little too crispy for my liking. I'll come back when the weather cools off to try the tom yum soup.

Diner Review №56

Everything was so good we had the beef noodle soup. Spicy fried rice, mango sticky rice, & cheesy wonton everything was a 10/10.

Diner Review №57

We really enjoyed this wonderful restaurant and highly recommend it to everyone. The food is 100% authentic Thai with a very special Japanese cuisine menu. Come and enjoy Oishii Thai just as we have.

Diner Review №58

Great sushi and great service

Diner Review №59

I ordered Sushi there let’s just say never gonna make that mistake again

Diner Review №60

What a great experience overall. I took my family here for a celebration dinner and we couldn’t have been more happy with every aspect.

I definitely recommend giving this place a try and plan on revisiting often.

Diner Review №61

Came in for the first time, during happy hour!! Service was great, everyone was very friendly and kind. The food was delicious. Sushi and noodles were amazing!! Oishii Crunchy roll was my favorite. We will be back soon! Thank you!

Diner Review №62

This place is a gem. We live in the neighborhood and were in the mood for sushi and cold beer on a hot summer day. Oishii hit all the marks.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fish, the atmosphere, and the friendly service (it is located next to a gas station, after all). The yellow tail nigiri was delicious! The CA roll option with real crab was tasty too. It was a busy Friday night for this little spot but they made us feel so welcome. We’ll definitely be making a return to try their Thai options!

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

Wonderful sushi, great people!

Diner Review №66

I came here with my wife and we both really enjoyed everything. My wife being from Thailand gets a little crazy when I take her to a Thai restaurant because she wants to order the whole menu lol. Needless to say we ate a lot and took a lot home. She said 5 star and I couldn’t agree more. I thought the pad Thai sauce was perfect and the tamarind sauce served with the grilled pork was amazing. It’s spicy but just the way I like it. Try the sticky rice, eat with your hands, and dip it into sauces to be authentic.

Diner Review №67

I was born in Thailand and came to the US a few years ago and I can honestly say this place has the most authentic food around. The seafood fried rice and grilled pork reminded me of Thailand. And they have sushi!! So yummy. Wonderful combination of flavors. This is my new go to spot for Thai food. Bravo!!!!

Diner Review №68

I just wanted to come on here and say the customer service was amazing. He was so incredibly helpful and polite. I ordered my food Togo and the whole time he kept a smile on his and I felt incredibly welcomed. I definitely will make this my go to place!

Diner Review №69

I used to come here when it was Thai Taste and absolutely loved the pineapple fried rice. I had high hopes theirs would be similar or better since it cost more. It’s absolutely disgusting. More onion than pineapple and it taste canned or not ripe. I will say the remodel is really nice inside and the customer service was exceptional. I may go back and try the sushi but don’t waste your time with the pineapple fried rice. Yuck!

Diner Review №70

Food is pretty good but the service is 12/10. Everyone is super sweet and awesome. Great atmosphere, happy hour is also awesome. And they have the large kirin ichibans!!

Diner Review №71

I ordered some green chicken curry just for takeout and it was amazing! Good prices for quality food. I would love to come here with some friends soon and try their sushi too. Thank you so much for the takeout!

Diner Review №72

We live a couple blocks from this place. We are amazed by the deliciousness and presentation of the dishes. Everything is so good! We ordered the jack sushi roll, the pork belly, the small wonton soup and the fried rice (my husband eat it before I could take a picture). The service was really good, it was fast and people are kind. We are coming back! New favorite spot in the area!

Diner Review №73

Wonderful people, delicuous food.

Diner Review №74

Diner Review №75

This is the best Thai-Japanese food!! The staff very nice service and friendly. Nice place. 10/10 love everything.

Diner Review №76

Excellent thai food.

Diner Review №77

The staff was so friendly and the food was so fresh!!! Very clean little restaurant, will definitely be stopping by next trip to San Diego

Diner Review №78

Even though I ordered to go, the people there were so nice and welcoming as I waited for my food. They give off such a welcome vibe and make feel comfortable. Since I live VERY close by, I'll definitely be coming back.

Diner Review №79

Do you really want to eat real sushi? This is the place, my favorite rolls are Thai Dai and Energy Roll. Also they have the delicious Oyster Shooters, I always order some before starting my main course. Mike the chef is super nice and humble person, we love everything in this place. The only downside is that you won’t go to any other place for sushi but Oishii, the best rolls ever in California and maybe in the US.

Diner Review №80

The food was amazing! Good size portions, excellent service, and wide variety of dishes.
The shrimp tempura, mango sticky rice and spicy fried rice were especially good!

Diner Review №81

Loved 😍 everything...

Diner Review №82

Great happy hour and very friendly servers

Diner Review №83

This was my second time back! I highly recommend Oishii to friends. They are so friendly and the all the dishes are delicious with lots of flavor! If you like sushi, try the Chris roll or the Energy roll. Both are very good! All the ingredients and fish are fresh. I’ll be back again.

Diner Review №84

Diner Review №85

Pad See Ew was flavorful and a lot of meat 👍 ⭐️
Yong Tafo was okay just a bit sour for my taste but they came with a perfect amount of soup and proteins.
A big size of Thai Tea, Value for money! Totally a must order drink💰
They have condiments that’s not a lot place provide it. Loved it. Happy hour 3-6 pm everyday (50% for some sushi selection and all drink)
The sticky mango was so good 🥳🥳 Local moms and pops restaurant, super friendly people ❤️

Diner Review №86

Food is delicious and the service is amazing, very kind people.

Diner Review №87

Oishii Crunchy Roll is amazing - savory flavor in the flakes
The boba thai iced tea is also very good and large serving
Will be back!

Diner Review №88

The food here is very authentic. I came here many times since the new management took over and never once disappointed. The staffs are very friendly and the price is also reasonable. This will be my number one to go for Thai restaurant in San Diego from now on!

Diner Review №89

Wonderful little Thai place! We had the Pork Belly, which was so savory. We both ordered noodle soups and they just hit the spot on a cool evening! We will definitely be back for the 50% off happy hour to get some sushi next time!

Staff all super friendly! Give this new spot a try!

Diner Review №90

Diner Review №91

Very friendly people and great food! I had never had a Thai curry before and the nice lady suggested the Phanaeng curry and it was delicious. I also got a Thai tea with boba great portion size on both and tasted very fresh and yummy. I can’t wait to try out more dishes and the sushi bar!

Diner Review №92

I visited on 3/27/2024 and the service is outstanding, the food was spectacular. The fried angel wings are amazing! All the food I have ordered on the two occasions coming to the restaurant have really been some of the best Thai food I have eaten.

Diner Review №93

Best Boba in town! 🧋

Diner Review №94

The food and staff was super nice and attentive. The lady serving us was very nice and funny.

Diner Review №95

Ordered lunch online and loved the Chinese sausage fried rice and decided to stop buy to try the sushi bar. The service was amazing, nice family owned ambiance with care and love in each dish. We ordered the energy roll, oishi crunchy roll as well as nagiri, the energy roll is my top recommendation. I have never seen a roll so filled with such large pieces of quality fish. The yellowtail melted in my mouth, the oyster shooter was good but a little on the sour side, would have preferred served on the half shell.

Would 10/10 recommended, for a near by local restaurant this is a must for any one in the area.

Diner Review №96

Amazing food and service!

Diner Review №97

The absolute best Thai and Japanese food!!! Amazing sushi bar too! Janny, Mikey and Lisa make you feel so special, just like family!! Love this place!!!!

Diner Review №98

I LOVE this place!!! Amazing food and the service is as good as it gets! Thai and Sushi in the same place!!! You will become family to these people and your visits will be very enjoyable.

Diner Review №99

This is my new favorite Thai place in San Diego. They're Masaman curry was the best I've ever had and the peanut sauce for their spring rolls was amazing as well.

Diner Review №100

เป็นอาหารรสชาติไทยอร่อยหายคิดถึงเมืองเลย

Diner Review №101

I absolutely LOVED the food here! Thai and Japanese food all in one place? So awesome! So I ordered sushi as an appetizer and it was totally delicious and then I ordered panang curry. I like my curry spicy, so I played it safe and ordered 7 out of 10. And it was deliciously spicy! But without sacrificing flavor at all. If you like spicy curry, I recommend trying a 7. My mom and wife had their fav noodles and they loved it too. The prices are very fair and definitely wasn't surprised by the cost. Oh and the restaurant is nice and cozy too. Great service. They just opened recently so they accept cash or venmo as a heads up! I should have taken some pictures of the food to post but I devoured it before I thought about it.

Diner Review №102

This is the best, authentic Thai food I ever had. They just open last week and the service is amazing. We try crispy pork, and Chinese, broccoli, pineapple, fried rice, and chicken satay. Does Server give us Thai iced tea which is not very sweet and it is what exactly we are looking for. The mango, sticky rice is the best. Coconut milk and mango is sweet as it should be. We will definitely go back again thank you for your so much and good teamwork🙏
