Oishii Sushi Japanese Restaurant

Oishii Sushi Japanese Restaurant is located conveniently in downtown Vancouver on Denman Street. Red walls, soft lighting and green plants swirl together beckoning diners into a vortex of taste and flavor. The owner eschewed the cold look of many Japanese restaurants, in order to fill the 1,500 square foot house with a welcoming décor that would help to prepare diners for an unforgettable dining experience.

Oishii Sushi’s menu is almost as mouthwatering as the food. The detailed pictures of the food offerings help curious customers get an idea of what each item looks like before they order it. It not only serves popular fare like California Rolls but also offers more inspiring choices like Nigiri, tempura and signature Kakisu (fresh oyster) in a stylish yet comfortable dining room.

What sets Oishii Sushi apart from other Japanese restaurants in the area is its uncompromising focus on high quality. Owner Calvin Duong is very particular about how ingredients are stored and handled. Strict rules are followed from start to finish. Despite facing rising food costs, the owner has never boosted his profits by sacrificing on food quality or raising prices.

Oishii Sushi Japanese Restaurant is a community based restaurant and builds its reputation through word of mouth. There's take-out service available yet the restaurant also delivers, which is a bit unusual for this type of restaurant. Party catering is a separate business that Calvin thoroughly endorses and will continue to bolster by building even more relationships with other local businesses.
