Oishii Lounge

Definitely NOT worth the wait!

I would never recommend this place to anyone. The management and sushi chefs apparently find their time more important than the guests. We had to wait 1.5 hours for our food with practically no apologies. Terrible service

Life is too short to wait for mediocre sushi.

I visited Oishii for the first time ever today, bringing with me a friend from out-of-town. I ended up apologizing up and down for bringing her to such a place! The place was barely half-full when we went in and when we ordered. It took over an hour and 30 minutes to bring out 4 rolls for the both of us. FOUR ROLLS! When we confronted the waitress, she said, "15 more minutes. You can either leave now, or get a discount on the meal." We decided to stay, against our better judgement. It ended up being 30 more minutes. Really?! It wasn't even busy. We were in the restaurant for about 2 hours. That would be approximately 1.5 hours waiting. For that I was compensated $6 from a $50 tab just for my meal (mostly for drinks while I was waiting). You get the idea. There was A LOT of waiting. I'd also like to mention that there were people who came in AFTER us who were served BEFORE us. The food was good, but not any better than sushi restaurants elsewhere in Windsor.

WORST SERVICE EVER. Arrived at 7, and left hungry at 9:45.. They closed at 10. Service was so slow and our waitress was TERRIBLE. The staff was incredibly unfriendly, but the strange thing was that ALL of them behaved the same.. as if they were trained to be this way. Everything took too long, from being greeted by a waitress.. our table.. to drinks.. to our food.. to our bill.. Our bill ended up being $85.00.. maybe that's their ploy.. if people wait long for food they drink.. at least in our case that's what happened. hah.

This is the second time in a year and a half I've visited this place. The first time the service was way too slow.. waiting over a half hour for the food. We decided to try again since our favourite sushi place was too busy. This time, waited over 45 minutes for our food. There were only us and 2 other couples in the restaurant so there should be no reason for this. The waitress kept apologizing, and then told us that the chef was new so he was slow. That's not really an excuse, he should know what he's doing. We were in the restaurant for a total of 1 hr and 20 min. Mostly waiting. When I got my order of sushi, my boyfriend's wasn't even ready yet so I wasn't going to be rude and eat in front of him, so we waiting another 10 to 15 min for his. All in all, terrible service. Sushi was good, but not worth another visit.

Oishii was my first ever sushi experience, so...

Oishii was my first ever sushi experience, so maybe I'm biased, but I love it there! The menu is easy to understand for sushi novices like me, and there is great variety! I love the atmosphere there, especially on Thursday nights, when "rock 'n' roll sushi" is going on - the music is amazing! Some of the staff have trouble paying attention to their customers, though. It's as if they have their favourites, and find it a bother to take care of anybody else. We sometimes end up waiting fifteen minutes for service, watching the staff laughing and joking with their friends at another table. It can be frustrating, but the food is worth the wait! If you're not in a hurry, I can heartily recommend Oishii - top drawer sushi!
