I struggled with this review. Hino Oishi is close to our new home and as much as I love Japanese food/culture, etc., I don't feel that a top rating is warranted. We sat on the "table side", the smaller portion of the restaurant versus the..."hibachi side". The table side had a few (3 to 4) of maybe a dozen tables occupied. The hibachi side was not completely full but close to it..with families and friends having a great time. We ordered two servings of miso soup, gyoza, and chirashi (sashimi) with sushi rice. I did not find the sashimi as fresh as I am accustomed to, even in Indiana. Just did not seem as good as I expected it to be. Now I am not using the East Coast or West Coast or even Japan (having spent considerable time in all three areas) as the standard. But given what we experienced, I felt I had to give Hino Oishi three of five stars. So Sorry. Note, however, the server was quite good and very prompt. We might try again...don't know yet.More

this is the place - whether doing hibachi or dining room - the food is excellent - something for everyone! the service is wonderful - once they know you they bring out the drinks, salads and soup automatically - guess that means we might go...too often! During the good weather the patio is the place to have a quiet, relaxing meal.More

Took 6 teenagers to their first Hibachi experience, and my wife and I and the kids all walked out with a wonderful experience. The food was plentiful, came with soup (chicken broth) and salad, along with wonderful chicken fried rice and entrees. EVERYONE, walked out...full! The food was prepared perfectly, and tasted perfect. We felt like it was priced reasonably. We didn’t have reservations and didn’t have to wait but five minutes for a table and once seated, we had great service. We will definitely be back!More

Came here at my relatives' suggestion with a group of six people for a Sunday Dinner. We immediately were escorted to a large table. Everyone found something that they wanted to order. The meals arrived simultaneously. Very tasty and the portions were large. On the...expensive side.More

Clean. Good service. Expensive for a dinner. Kid friendly. Hibachi grill food. Chicken steak and shrimp with vegetables and fried rice. Customize if you like. Nice size portions.

Last night (3-2-19), we had a terrible experience. The place was way overbooked,running an hour behind on reservations. They were cooking at tables with non working vents and the smoke was so dense it was uncomfortable. The service was rude and offered no explanation or...apologies. Drinks are ridiculously overpriced. Don't waste your time. Much better Hibachi Steakhouses in the area. We ended up leaving at almost 9pm still waiting on a 730pm reservation.More

Went here last night with a group of girlfriends and let me tell you this place is a hidden gem! We all ordered hibachi and all of us loved our meals. I got the shrimp, one girl got the ribeye, and another for the teriyaki...steak! Each hibachi meal comes with soup and salad which were both delicious. All of our meals fantastic. One girl got the lettuce wraps which were to die for. I highly recommend this place and we all will be back!!More

We hadn't been to a hibachi style restaurant in over a decade because our daughter became deathly afraid of fire from an onion volcano as a young child and refused to go back well into her teenage years. We finally decided to break that seal...and try again at Hino Oishi. We sat at the hibachi table with a family with young children who asked the chef for "only a little bit of fire" because their toddlers might be afraid of it. I wished that I would have been as smart as them 10 years ago because the instructions worked like a charm. Just a "little bit of fire" was perfect for us, all the rest of the showmanship continued. Rice thrown directly into our mouth (or at least close to it), knives and spatulas flying around, lots of clanking. A nice show. The fried rice was excellent, the vegetables were very good, the meats were fine. Not the greatest dinner, but a lot of fun. Recommend doing with a group of people for maximum effect.More

This place will work with you to make your family meal a good one. Don’t like peas in veggies, they don’t put them in. Kids don’t want the fire from grill, they don’t do it. Food was good. Portions on the smaller side. Fried rice...good. Chicken and beef tasty from grill. Drink refills without asking. Good service. No wait usually. We have ate here twice and left satisfied.More

Took the whole gang here Friday evening for an early father's day dinner, and it was excellent our chef DK was very good. We have 5 daughters between the ages of 15 and 3 and he enterained them all. He was enthusiastic and held talked...with each of them while cooking.My wife made a reservation for 645 and we were seated promptly at 645. The food was very good as always, but the spicy dragon sushi roll was exceptional. We will be going back to see DK do his thing again.More

This is a decent Japanese place with b grade sushi and meals. I can be in and out for lunch in 30 min. They do have a non-soy soup you have to ask for if you want. The lunch special is a pretty good deal....It seems that the hibachi grill could use more customers but I have only been here for lunch.More

They were great at reserving a table for 18 at short notice and great at getting seated. Waitresses were pleasant and so were the chefs. Food was outside and they were very accommodating. Lobster was cooked a bit tough but I gotta say the scallops...and tenderloin were amazing. Also, having Sun King was a plus, although ontap would be better than cans. Wish I could comment on the sushi, but I knew the hibachi would fill me up. Only concern was how they write up there receipts and return change when paying in cash. Ask what the service charge means before you order, is it your gratuity or is it a service charge for dinner and a show we couldn't get an answer some tipped extra and some didn't. And check your change in front of them, we had 2 bills not correct out of 8.More
