Oshima Japanese Cuisine

What an experience! From booking to dinner in Ohshima. Reservations: Call the restaurant from 5-5:30 to book a dinner reservation. After 62 calls I could talk to someone in the restaurant and secure a reservation of 5:30. There is a ten-minute grace period when you run late. Arrive: I arrived at 5:30 and there was a line wrapped in the chicken store in Plaza. The hostess will check in if you had a reservation. If you are waiting for dinner without reservation, you can expect a waiting period between 1-1.5 hours. Dinner: We chose the cooks omakase (10 pieces) and ordered some extras at the end. We had the following for dinner: Sea bream Medium toro Scallop Amberjack Sea Bass Cherry Lachs John Dory Bluefin Tuna Black Cod Japanese Butterfish Uni Sweet Shrimp Everything was absolutely delicious! The nigiri was fresh and brought you to the city with every bite. The sushi here is glazed with soy or sea salt and Yuzu. You can taste the fresh natural aromas of seafood selection for the night. The bill came to $210 after tax for the (2) chefs 10 pieces omokase, (2) sweet shrimps, (2) uni and a fried chicken cartilage. It is definitely worth eating here despite the painful reservations. I highly recommend eating here if you are looking for a date or celebrate a special occasion. Ohshima, I'm back! We look forward to another 60 calls to feed here.

Tried the Omakase at this place, located in the plaza in Orange. The restaurant itself is very small and dark, a few tables with a bar with all these amazing sushi chef. I still don't know why most omakase places don't have more comfortable seating, especially for the price. The lighting was also extremely dark at the tables. We ordered one Omakase and my favorite black cod, uni pasta and steam clams to share. All the fish are so fresh and extremely delicious, even the Wasabi tastes very differently. The miso soup with shrimp heads are very delicious! We celebrated his birthday there, but the ambiance doesn't seem to cater to celebrations. I have to say calling to make reservations at this restaurant almost made me not want to go here. The phone line is only available in between 5-5:30, and most of time it will be busy tone. I had to call 4/5 times to make reservations for dinner. Overall food : 5 Dining experience: 2 Booking experience:-2

OMG! My #1 best authentic sushi place ever after eating in this place, I did not find another sushi place that could replace it. Waiting is always worth it! I recommend special occasions and dinners with friends or family. The surroundings are beautiful and cozy. Some fish are from Japan and market price sushi are delicious

This place is Michelin rated meaning it’s definitely a good place for sushi, and indeed it is. I’m sometimes afraid to order omakase because I never know if what the chef likes will be what I like. This place doesn’t disappoint. The chef knows what you will like as well as what everyone else will like. Uncanny!
