Hino Oishi - Fresno

I highly recommend this Japanese restaurant! Our server, Sara, was incredible and made my mom's birthday extra special with her great sense of humor and professionalism. The sushi options are truly outstanding. The mamba chili strings were delicious! I also love that you can have hibachi in the dining area. And that geisha martini was fantastic! My family and I are grateful for such a wonderful evening!

I visited this restaurant for the first time, as my friend is a fan of their curry. I thought the curry was good, but I'm not really a curry person. The texture of the vegetables was excellent, though! They provide a generous amount of vegetables—enough for about three people. However, the bowl of rice is only enough to serve one and a half people at most. I enjoyed the sushi as well. I wanted to try the caterpillar roll, but since they don’t make it with tempura shrimp, I opted for the next best option. The potato sushi was fantastic! I’ve never had a tempura sweet potato sushi roll before. One downside was that the service was a bit underwhelming.

I arrived right at 4:30 PM to avoid the crowds, and I was surprised to see a line outside, which suggests this place is quite popular. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the service was attentive throughout my meal. I ordered the Lobster Ceviche along with a sashimi combo. The lobster was beautifully presented and tasted exceptional. The sashimi was served in a traditional boat, and I appreciated that there was less daikon than usual, with the fish resting on perilla leaves. Typically, I eat the daikon to counteract the fishy flavor, but the perilla leaves were a delightful addition that paired wonderfully with the sashimi. If you're someone who is sensitive to strong fishy tastes, I highly recommend giving these leaves a try. I found myself wishing they offered a side of perilla leaves! Overall, I had a wonderful experience on my first visit and will definitely return in the future.

The first time I visited and it was good. I ordered New York Steak and Shrimp and two **** lobsters. It was good! Our cook was great too. Great experience! Definitely recommend!

Dining at Hino Oishi is always a lively experience. The teppanyaki performances are entertaining, and enjoying teppanyaki is a delightful treat that’s worth having every now and then. The enticing aromas are simply irresistible. If you can, make a reservation, as the wait times can be unpredictable. When the wait is lengthy, we often head to the bar for a few cocktails to help pass the time.
