Oishi Sushi - Hackensack

For those of you who don’t know 5 months ago someone got an order from here made a tiktok about finding a bug in her boba tea. The video went viral From that video a slew of reviewers have been posting THAT HAVE NOT EATEN AT RHE ACTUAL RESTAURANT. I live in Hackensack, I’ve eaten at this place for many years and I live in the town. It is not roach infested the inside is actually pretty clean for a sushi spot. People are trying to get this place closed down and it’s a really great thriving local sushi spot please stop. If you watch the video the boba lady didn’t even take pics of whatever she found that you could clearly see. I don’t doubt she had something in her drink but she explained it was in an ice cube and melted that’s a really common problem in the food industry and not specific to a locations cleanliness anyone whose worked BOH in a restaurant knows this. It’s unfortunate but it probably was something that got into the ice machine and tbh it didn’t look like a roach it looked like a bug. Please stop trying to shut down an otherwise thriving local small business that actually serves good food. For those of you who don’t know Hackensack, NJ isn’t a bad area I live in an expensive high rise that’s over $2k+ a month they are strict with code enforcement here anything that was actually roach infested would get shut down pretty quickly here.

Wanted to come show support for one of my favorite local spots. I saw someone else post and wanted to add on for anyone who’s not aware someone had a bug in their drink and made a TikTok about it and it went viral. BECAUSE OF THAT VIDEO PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT EATEN AT THIS RESTAURANT EVER are making reviews about it being bug infested. Hackensack is extremely strict with code enforcement these reviewers are declaring they came from tiktok and are making FALSE reviews to get this place shut down. This is a great local business and an awesome addition to the Hackensack community. Please stop trying to shut down a place you’ve never actually visited. I saw the tiktok video the woman very clearly stated it was something in her ice cube and that’s a pretty easy thing to happen in the restaurant industry. There were not even super clear pictures it looked like a regular bug and it probably crawled in a waterline. The original poster wasn’t even angry at the restaurant she was mad at door dash for not refunding her order. I’ve eaten here FOR YEARS and never had an issue and I’ve had sushi ALL OVER Bergen County and it’s not always as great as this place. Please stop attacking this business they are not dirty. I too live in an expensive building in Hackensack, rent is over $3k+ in my building for a 2 bedroom. This is not a slum area if people have concerns call the health department. This place has passed inspection and is actually extremely clean. To the Oishi owners: I am so sorry this is happening to your business. I actively encourage you to raise the problem to google and ban these reviews and to seek punitive damages IP ADDRESSES can be traced and if they don’t have proof that they’ve actually eaten there then their reviews are slander and libel. Hang in there, the locals who have enjoyed your restaurant for years will continue supporting you.

I am happy to go back to the place that I really like. Sashimi always fresh!

The take out service was quick and helpful. The food was delicious.

Delicious food! Very clean restaurant. Kind and helpful staff!
