"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."
