One of the best places in York for food lovers. I highly recommend the place. The atmosphere is amazing. The staff is so friendly and accommodating and the food is top quality. I suggest trying the Sukiyaki Pot Beef. It's full of flavour and big enough to share. Been here twice and I will be back again

Noodles in oil and cucumber salad were amazing - highly recommend. We also ordered pork dumplings and potato salad which aren’t pictured, but so delicious! The best chinese restaurant I’ve visited in york.

Four of us visited on the spur of the moment in the evening, as my son enjoys Japanese cuisine. We were visiting from Wales for a University open day and had travelled most of that Monday. We were welcomed immediately on arrival and felt comfortable there throughout the dining experience. The service was friendly and excellent. The food was amazing and so delicious I'm still thinking about it 2 days later on my return home. Thank you to all at Oishii Isakaya for such a wonderful meal and your patience with any questions we had. I would highly recommend a visit here for anyone visiting York.

The authentic beef noodles are simply delicious, especially the wide noodles with braised beef ribs and chili oil.

Absolutely brilliant, authentic tasting food. Everything was presented nicely. Unagi don was delicious and sweet, and a deceivingly big portion. It came with miso soup, which was a nice touch. Gyoza was delicious. Grilled octopus was nicely cooked and presented. The service was nice - kind of hard to flag the waitress down for anything (bill/drinks) but she was lovely and came over immediately when she saw we needed her, we didn’t have to wait.

You have to come here if you’re in York! This was the best meal I’ve had in the city. First of all, the staff are very kind and considerate - my mum has a cinnamon allergy and they were careful to find the dishes on the menu without it (she loved hers!) I had the oil-drizzled wide noodles with braised beef, which were absolutely incredible! It has a lovely atmosphere and the meals are excellent value for both the quality and portion size. Will definitely be coming back! :)

Visited earlier today and we loved it. The calamari and tori kara were amazing to start with - fresh and quick to come out. The beef bibimbap and sizzling beef with teriyaki were delicious and we highly recommend trying them. We will definitely be returning!
