The sushi is exceptional. Given the difficulty of finding high-quality options, we relied on online ratings and were pleased with the experience.
Although the exterior is unassuming, the interior is well-appointed. We observed a high volume of takeaway orders; while the establishment is better suited for casual dining than a romantic setting, the culinary quality is outstanding.

An absolute hidden gem in Buffalo!
I’ve been to my fair share of sushi restaurants over the years, and I honestly didn’t expect to stumble across a place this good while traveling through Buffalo on a business trip. Oishi Sushi is one of those little hidden gems that you’re really glad you found.
I tried the Coconut Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice, Angry Buffalo Roll, and Super Dynamite Roll, and everything was fantastic.
The Coconut Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice was the surprise standout for me. The combination of sweet pineapple, coconut, savory fried rice, and shrimp worked incredibly well without becoming overly sweet. It was flavorful, satisfying, and definitely not your typical fried rice.
The Angry Buffalo Roll was excellent—great flavor, generous portions, and just the right amount of kick. If you like sushi with a little heat and a lot of flavor, this one is absolutely worth trying.
The Super Dynamite Roll was another winner. Fresh, flavorful, and packed with the kind of combination that makes you immediately want another bite.
What really impressed me was the overall quality. Everything tasted fresh and made-to-order, and you can tell there’s genuine care going into the food. The restaurant itself is easy to overlook from the outside, but don’t let that fool you. This is exactly the kind of local spot that deserves more attention.
If you’re in the Buffalo/South Buffalo area and enjoy sushi, do yourself a favor and give Oishi Sushi a try. It’s a hidden gem that I’m genuinely glad I discovered—and if I’m back in the area, I’ll absolutely be returning to work my way through more of the menu.
Highly recommended! 🍣🔥

I was visiting home recently and we've never had a sushi spot in little Lackawanna that I can remember 15 years ago, my brother told me one opened on Abbott it was still fairly new so I didn't try it right away but on my second visit (a few months later) we seen some more reviews and decided to try it and let me tell you IT IS TOP TIER. I moved to Charlotte NC and there is an abundance of sushi spots, I've been to almost all of them. Some good, some bad, some excellent. I do have my few go-to's. I was shocked by how amazing the sushi was. Me and my brother were a little deterred by how long the wait was. I said that I would start with a four-star rating just because of how long we waited. We did order 4 sushi rolls and we waited over 35 min with only 1 person dining in and 1 lady who was picking up. I did notice there was only one gentleman making the sushi and the lady at the front was very sweet. We had planned on dining in but with the wait we would just ask for the to go boxes right away and just try a couple. That is not how it worked, once we tried it we couldn't stop each one was unique and delicious in its own way 10 out of 10. The thought of how long we waited was completely gone, right back up to five stars! We got the golden lobster, Spider-Man, yummy yummy and the Abbot special? This place is I must try for any sushi fans in and around the Lackawanna area!
