Food: Creative, yet inconsistent
The kitchen's creativity shines with its various artistic dishes that honor the traditions of Japanese cuisine. The freshness, particularly of the sashimi, is unparalleled. However, the taste can be hit-and-miss with some standout failures. Those with a big appetite might feel unsatisfied as the portions are small. But many reviewers thoroughly praised the variety and affordability at this modest establishment.

Vibe: Warmly intimate, distractingly lively
Ohshima's ambiance envelopes you, with a cozy, intimate decor helped by dim lighting. The chefs add an interactive element of entertainment and late-night jazz adds to the atmosphere. It seems tailor-made for romantic date nights. However, the buzz and the drinks here are merely passable, neither adding to the experience nor detracting from it.
Great For Dates
Intimate and cozy atmosphere ideal for romantic and special date nights.
Okay Buzz
Small and cozy yet lively; size may limit buzz but enhances intimacy.
Perks: Inconvenient contrast of service and space
Parking is plentiful and the noise level allows for easy conversation, plus they capably handle dietary needs. However, that's where the positives end, with a frustratingly difficult reservation process and inadequate space outdoors or for larger groups. Not to mention, service that often leaves customers wanting. Furthermore, families will find scant provisions for children. And service has been heavily criticized.
Easy To Park
Ample parking, easily accessible in a large plaza, highly convenient.
Bad Service
Service criticized for being slow, rude, disorganized, and inattentive.
