Ein super gemütlicher kleiner Sushi Laden , es war wirklich alles Mega lecker . Der Service war klasse und allgemein alle sehr freundlich. Würden wir nicht nur zum Urlaub hier sein würden wir auf jeden Fall wieder kommen sehr zu empfehlen

This place is nice, but has some insignificant drawbacks. First, it is very loud inside, when many groups are dining because the room is tiny, and the tables are packed closer together. Second, our waitress wasn’t very friendly and attentive, but she was busy, since the place was full. The atmosphere overall is welcoming. The food was pretty good. One issue is that the cup of tea was only half-full. Another is that crispy rice sushi are way too spicy in our opinion. Tamago sushi were delicious, so were the blue crab rolls, but they resembled California roll too much. Udon soups were fantastic and very balanced. The food is brought very quickly, even though there were a lot of people.

Came in here for a quick lunch and had the 2 items for $11 lunch special. I chose the spicy salmon roll and the tuna roll. At first glance at the lunch menu, I was surprised to see that there is no salmon roll listed anywhere. I also ordered a separate salmon hand roll which was not listed under the handrolls section in the menu. The server I had was really nice and said the chef can make it for me, for the same price.

Now, onto the food. Food tasted pretty average. I did have to say I am not a big fan of the spicy salmon roll. There's something about the spicy salmon that tastes quite different from other spicy salmon rolls I have had before. The tuna roll was pretty straightforward. I did enjoy my salmon handroll though, which I kinda wish they have just a salmon roll option or something.

The restaurant is pretty spacious and clean. This place did not quite blow me away, and given that we have other sushi options in the South Bay area, I am not sure if I'll come back here again. Let's see.

Chicken teriyaki, shrimp tempura, and sashimi combo, aka "kaku", comes with miso soup, salad, and rice, all for under $18. Very good meal, with lots of variety, and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

We have been patrons of this establishment for many years and it has been a favorite primarily for the locals, which I am. Unfortunately service and quality have lately not been as good as in the past. Our teriyaki chicken was decidedly rubbery, not having been prepared fresh but seemingly rewarmed. The server forgot to bring the rice and the tempura dipping sauce having awkwardly to flag down and ask someone for it. With the salads it appears that the quantity of dressing is skimpily provided. Also in recent times we felt that the server was not that particularly friendly to a degree that we start feeling uncomfortable. We still like O-Sho Restaurant and hope to have again better dining experiences. The local patrons are loyal, supported this restaurant throughout the hardship of the Covid-19 pandemic, the owners and staff should appreciate this.

The meat (teriyaki beef and teriyaki chicken) was rubbery, clearly prepared in advance, rice was not served, had to ask twice for it, also the sauce for the tempura was not served for which we had to awkwardly ask as well. On the small side salads that come with the meals, they seem to be a bit skimpy with the dressing and it is not the first time. The waitress appeared to be annoyed, then to top it all off we were rushed, i.e. the tab given before we even finished. This used to be a great place, but seems it is going downhill.

I never leave reviews but felt inclined after reading the review from “Englisberg”

It was a 3/5 rating based on service declining over the years from the self proclaimed “local”

I’ve got a knack for these things and after seeing he/she only leaves 1 star reviews basically everywhere… YOU’RE THE PROBLEM. Service declined because you sir/ma’am are insufferable. I cannot imagine having to deal with you in everyday life.

Back to O-Sho!

If you like excellent service, excellent food, and of yeah, a smile from every person on their staff each and every time you walk in… this should be in your regular rotation of places to eat.

Arigato O-Sho!
