Hino Oishi

We made a last-minute decision to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday at Hino Oishi. Even though we arrived right at the start of dinner time without a reservation, we were fortunate to be seated immediately. The waitress was fantastic, taking the time to explain the menu thoroughly and offering excellent recommendations for us as first-time visitors.For an appetizer, I ordered the Golden California sushi, which was absolutely mouthwatering and unlike anything I've tried before. For my main course, I chose the shrimp and steak hibachi. The chef did an outstanding job, especially with cooking my steak to a perfect medium. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that their dinner hibachi includes chicken fried rice. I also have to rave about their ginger salad--it's the best I've ever had--and their onion soup was equally delightful.

Hibachi is my nephew's favorite, and it was his birthday, so I took him here to celebrate. Hibachi is always an experience, and this visit was no different. The servers put on a fun show, and it's always a good time. It's honestly a great spot for families--spacious, entertaining, and the food was delicious and super filling (we left with leftovers). And my nephew absolutely loved it.

I love hino oishi. We used to come here all the time when we lived up in Carmel and still sometimes come here for birthdays. I love their tuna poke. They have gluten free options as well. I'd say it's a lot better than other hibachi places like Benihana as I always feel full and satisfied when I leave. Nothing's better than a hibachi salad. I'd like to inject that dressing into my veins.

Lunch specials are a must here-$18 for several items. You get your bang for your buck. Please try the lemon drop martini. You won't regret it. The ambience is soft, the interior is pretty dark, which is great for dates. There are plenty of tables for hibachi as well as private booths. The staff is always nice and friendly as well as patient (we tend to take a while to choose) since the menu is extensive. The sushi is fresh and delicious. The ginger salad is a must, some of the best dressing I've had. If you like spicy and fried sushi, try the hot mess girl roll and thank me later.

Sushi at @ hinooishiindy last night. Sorry to say it's NOT WHAT ITS HYPED UP TO BE! ‍ The star of our meal was the fried calamari. Well actually it was the sauce that came with it.  3 rolls we ordered were good; Nori Roll, Yummy Roll and the Golden Gate Bridge. However the Seaweed wrap was extremely tough and chewy lol I don't know how that could be. Everytime you bite into the roll everything comess off of it except the seaweed. You had to tare at it. The dumplings were.... just not good Unseasoned meat inside, chewy outside and nearly cold. Service was Mid. He actually brought over the wrong order not ONCE not TWICE but 3 times smh. On top of all that our Tab was $100+ for 6 rolls and 2 apps. Usually wouldn't be a problem but it was so not worth it. Check this place out. Maybe you'll have a better day than I did. I can say it was clean.

Went with a group of 13 dined here for hibachi on a Saturday night. The decor was modern Asian themed in shades of black and red. The restaurant was clean. Service was fast and friendly. We had to 2 chefs and grills. We sampled tempura shrimp and calamari for an appetizer. Both were good. I tried a lemon drop martini and that was refreshing. Dinner was plentiful and I took home half of it to finish later. We all enjoyed our meals and had a wonderful dining experience.

I came here for my birthday and had the best sushi! I was completely surprised and delighted by every part of our meal. The miso was spectacular. Perfect for a chilly day. We got so much sushi! I couldn't finish it was and had some leftovers later on. I docked one star because our waiter didn't come around very much to refill drinks and ask how we were doing. Fun times though, would definitely come back. The hibachi looked fun on the other side!

Great hibachi in Carmel. Nothing really different than any other Hibachi place but still very tasty! Went on a Sunday midday and it was pretty empty. Great service and really good food!!

The restaurant is attractive with all the hibachi tables to the left as you walk in and bar area straight ahead. The hibachi area has low lighting and almost romantic feel till you had a room full of people. If you have a large group, they have a separate room with an 18-top Hibachi Grill. Perfect for so many personal family or office events. The bar area has 3 booths and 2 4-top tables surrounding the bar and the sushi bar is adjacent to the bar with 4 seats.I ordered a Lychee Plum Martini which is Russian Standard Vodka, Hakatsuru Plum Wine and Lychee Juice. It was excellent and I recommend. As an appetizer, I tried the Spicy Scallop Sushi Roll. The roll was sliced and tasty but I wish it was served with a flavorful sauce. For lunch, I ordered the New Strip Steak and Shrimp Hibachi Combo.The New York Strip wasn't prepared as medium rare but rather medium well, it was on the tough side and no seasoning to taste other than the tasty sauce. The medium size shrimp were tender and prepared perfectly then topped with a flavorful sauce that was on the steak and shrimp. The fried rice was tender and perfect with a light amount of seasoning and the veggies were good, too.My server was terrific and attentive. He was prompt with each serving and removed dirty dishes quickly. He checked on me several times without being intrusive.I enjoyed my experience here but due to the higher lunch prices than other places I go, I'm not sure I'd make a point to drive 45 minutes. I would however, return with a large group and utilize their 18-top Hibachi Grill! If you live close, give them a try.

Food was fresh and sufficient quantity, service was ok but our chef was very pleasant. Ambiance was alright nice and clean . The only challenge was chairs were too low for to sit comfortably in front of table. We got booster seats for kids but even adults were kind of uncomfortable. Overall it was good.
