The best sushi in the Fresno area. Tons of amazing choices. Great service. Fresh fish and other ingredients.Unless I’m forced to go somewhere else due to time restrictions. I almost always choose Ooi.The service is great and the chefs are talented and make the rolls look like art.The only downside is it may not be as fast of an order as some like. It’s because their speedy chefs still slow down a little bit to make sure what you get is amazing in taste and presentation.

No longer all you can eat. That was the only thing that made the prices worth it. Not to mention I got a big piece of plastic glove in my sushi. Nearly choked! When I brought it to their attention they said they ran out of funnels to put the cream cheese into the sushi rolls so they used a plastic glove. Well apparently a finger of the plastic glove popped off and ended up in my food. They didn't even comp the meal. Just a verbal (and quiet) apology. I won't be back and I used to be a huge advertiser for them.

Its not cheap but the fiod itself is the best sushi ive personally experienced. They used to have Ana amazing $22 all you can eat but that stopped after covid. I get it. Probably wasn't cost effective either with me going once a week :)One or two time they completely forgot an item or two or three on my order and the cook didn't take ownership of it and yelled at the waitress to handle it. That was the only low moment in 5 years I've been going.

Server was friendly and quick. We ordered fried calamari appetizers, & the Mexican sushi roll Main dish salmon teriyaki and chicken teriyaki lunch portions both were good and generous amounts. I compare the food to other places I've eaten and the calamari is better than most places, it was crispy, flavorful and the cocktail sauce was so good. Not the usual tangy and spicy one most restaurants serve. I didn't care for the salad dressing that came with our salads but overall it would not keep me from coming back. I recommend this place if you want good sushi. The sushi roll was just enough spicy with great flavor.

Update for 3/20/22:They no longer offer the All You Can Eat option. They stopped it when Covid first started, and I was just told by them that they are not going to start it back up again. So for all those reviews that rated it highly specifically because of the great All You Can Eat option, they are no longer accurate.Other than the AYCE option they are decent. As long as they are not too busy the service is really good and the Suishi is also good quality. When they are busy though it can take a very long time to get service. Even when the service is slow though the food quality is still maintained and high.When they are busy the environment inside tends to be very loud, so it is not a place to go sit down for a nice relaxing dinner. If that does not bother you though I would still recommend it based on the food quality.The best thing about Ooi though was the AYCE option, and now that that is gone, to me there is nothing specifically distinguishing about this over other places such as Kijima that offer better quality sushi. If you are going for Nigiri or Sashimi and not going for rolls specifically there are better options. If you are someone though who tends to go for any of the large variety of rolls they offer it is still a good choice.

One of the best sushi spot in town. Japanese owner and the guy knows his stuff maybe 30 40 years experience? Rice quality is on point. The portion is huge. They don't try to fill you up with rice like other places. Price is the lowest in town. Last but not lease quality is amazing. Totally recommend this place because it's run by old Japanese guy and hes the main chef unlike other sushi place where they let anyone make your sushi. 5 star all day. Been coming here for years and years never disappointed.

The best of the best sushi in Fresno. Worth the drive from anywhere in Fresno/Clovis. The service is excellent and the restaurant is always clean.

Best sushi I've ever had. Their left door is role-playing as a wall. Their sushi bar is cool, but I've never sat there. Maybe that should be my new year's resolution.

Just order this tuna nigiri to go and the fish is dry and smells funky would not order fish from here again

dont be in a rush. the food is good, but it takes eons to get it to you. if they give you a time estimate, triple it as a minimum. good food if you can wait.
