Oishi Japanese Express - Tupelo

I have never had any issues when eating at Oishi.. matter of fact, it’s very laid back and exactly what I look for in a “hole in the wall.” The family that runs it are very quick and to the point and if that’s not for you-you may wanna skip out. I highly recommend getting the tornado or titanic rolls and their Philly roll is probably one of the best I’ve ever had. They aren’t scared of cream cheese (most places are or you have to pay extra to have it). The yum yum sauce is tangy and not completely mayonnaise so if you’re not into that, you may not like it. I’ve eaten here since I was in high school (I’m now in my 30s) and it has always been consistent. Definitely a comfort food staple for me!

So far it has always been a pleasant experience. Plus the food is so good and the presentation is pleasant to look at before eating.

Simply phenomenal. The character of the steak and chicken fried rice is outstanding. This was the best tasting takeout I had during my cross country road trip. Everything from the quality of meat, flavor, and presentation is excellent. I called ahead and they had my order ready to go. Wish I could come here more often! Superb.

Ate here last night 4/8/2023. Upon walkkngnin the place was clean and well cared for. There was 1 other man in interest who was waiting on food. I like the fact that the girl working the register was patient in asking what we would like. She could clearly see we were looking and didn't push. I liked that. Most places rush you and don't give you a good amount of time to decide. We placed our order then payment went smoothly. We ordered steak and shrimp hibachi, chicken and shrimp hibachi, 2 large drinks 2 egg rolls and a tupelo roll. That cost roughly 43$. They give you your cup to fill your own drink. They offer Pepsi products and sweet or unsweetened tea with the option of lemon to go in it. We chose sweet tea with lemon. Tea was good. It's self seating so you can sit wherever you want. We sat down & pur food was out in not time. Now the food portions are big amd it was decent. I do have a few key things to point out though. The chicken and shrimp was boiled. It's not authentic so if that's what you're looking for this place isn't it. We did enjoy it, but like I said it's not fully cooked on the grill then served. It's boiled, heated on the hibachi grill, plated then drizzled with some sauce and served. It was good though. The Tupelo roll was really good as well. The egg rolls were smaller than any I have ever seen, but they were good in tatse and thats what I figured matters. Definitely a place I will go back to with my family for a quick meal.

This place is awesome!! The place is very clean and the people are very nice and professional. We got our food very quickly and it was very delicious. This place makes other Japanese places look bad. I didn't use the bathrooms and don't know if they have any but I'm sure they are clean. Very nice place to eat.

My wife and I tried this restaurant for the first time and it was very good. It's a small restaurant located in a shopping center so parking is just wherever you can find a spot. They have a few tables for dining and it appears their biggest customer base is to go orders. We ate our meal in and the service was pretty fast and they were nice enough to bring it to our table, as there were a lot of people waiting for to go orders. We got Kani Cheese as an appetizer Which are like a crab rangoon and we're very good. We both got hibachi dinners, I got the chicken and my wife got this steak. The meat for both of these was nice and tender and not overdone and chewy. We will definitely go back.
