Oishii in Boston's South End Is Closing

One of Boston's best-known sushi spots is shutting down.

According to a source, Oishii in the city's South End neighborhood is getting ready to close, with a Facebook post from the Washington Street restaurant saying the following:

After many unforgettable years, Oishii Boston will be closing its doors at the end of business on Father’s Day. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have served our guests, shared special celebrations, and been a part of so many cherished memories. What began as a vision to bring exceptional Japanese cuisine and hospitality to Boston became something much greater because of the support of our loyal customers, dedicated team members, and community. We are proud of the history we have built together—from countless first dates, family dinners, and milestone celebrations to the friendships and connections formed around our tables. Your support, encouragement, and trust have meant more to us than words can express. To every guest who dined with us, recommended us to a friend, celebrated a special occasion, or simply made Oishii part of their routine: thank you.

Oishii first started out in Chestnut Hill in 1998, expanding to the South End in 2006; another location called Oishii Too (which debuted around that time as well) remains in operation.

The address for Oishii in the South End is 1166 Washington Street, Boston, MA, 02118. Its website can be found at https://ift.tt/bJ93yfp
