Oishii Japanese Sushi & Sake — Restaurant in Amarillo

Have been getting take out from them since they opened we love the food! So we finally decided to try actually eating at the restaurant and when we did we went on Valentine’s Day, which we knew it was going to be busy as expected. We got there had to wait 30 mins which is fine, the couple in front of us got seated and then we did, then several other couples got seated after us, and they all got served before us and got to order before we even got a server. We sat there being patient cause they were busy but when you serve everyone that came in after us and we still haven’t gotten served then it becomes and issue, the waitress that was serving the table next to us finally seen us and was like have yall been helped and we said no we haven’t, then she said that she would go and find out waitress like come on now! Finally our waitress got to our table, we ordered our drinks for a family of four, I took my daughter to the bathroom right after we told her what we wanted to drink, she only came back with three drinks and my daughter was like where’s mine, and she went to go get then we were going to order some appetizers to start with and she just leaves doesn’t hear us calling her or anything. Finally comes back and asks if we are ready to order, so we ended up putting in our whole order at once cause we didn’t know when she would be back to do anything for us. We finally got our appetizer, then my kids got their food and my husband got his sushi, and I was still waiting on mine for 20 mins, and when she came back, everyone was ready to go. Found out my sushi had been just sitting there. I was being really nice about the whole thing considering it was Valentine’s Day, and that they were busy, but she had checked on her other six tables multiple times, and just acted as if she really didn’t care about us. I made her take my sushi off cause I never got it and it had just been sitting there for who know exactly how long. We just had the worst experience dining in and it was very upsetting cause we have always gotten take out, and enjoy the food! But the service was not very attentive. I decided to today to get take out cause my daughter really likes their house soup, and she wasn’t feeling well, and I order a large for 7.99 that’s a 32 oz container. Called to ask them if their sizes changed all of a sudden or if they had someone new thinking they just made a mistake yes they were very understanding, and would replace it next time but we live 30 mins outside of town, and they just acted like they just didn’t care! I’ve never been the one to complain, but I’m very disappointed with the services I have had with them in a...

*Attention * if you live in Amarillo and love sushi 🍣 😋 please come check out this restaurant. One of the best sushi I've ever tasted, with a combine cooking experience of 30 years between the owner (in red shirt) and his master chef (black shirt). Place was incredible, food was fantastic, service was top tier. Definitely will go back to visit them my next time around Amarillo tx. The fried rice had shrimp and squid 🐙 very taste in my opinion that was the seafood fried rice, next the egg rolls very taste and big not your typical Chinese food ones if you know what I mean, then was the fried sushi bomb, tuna salmon and crab.... delicious!!!!! Next was sashimi dinner, basically all your sushi raw fish on display..... super tastee!!!! And of course we went to watch some football games there and had some coronas to wash the food down with. Excellent place for a date or to hang out with friends and enjoy top tier sushi 🍣 😋 👌 👍 😊!!!!!!!...

Lights are a bit much and give karoke bar vibes without thr karaoke. Music wasn't really restaurant appropriate and was excessively loud.

Waitress was friendly and quick but forgot complimentary soup and tea was served loose in cup and not many people like drinking tea leaves so a tea pot or tea ball would be a priority as the tea was delicious and nice that it was loose and not just a cheap tea bag, though 4 dollars for tea bag tea is not ideal.

Chow mein combo with beef and shrimp was large portion though limited on shrimp portions. Shrimp tempura meal was large in portion 8 large shrimp and vegetable tempura was plentiful. Batter could have some tweaking on more profile or a different sauce. Pork katsu was small but delicious. The side of vegetables was steamed, bland and odd to the dish and would suggest a different vegetable presentation or cooking method.

Will try again once some kinks havre burn ironed out and give thrm...
