Could be better

Wasn’t really impressed with the meal here. The presentation was outstanding but overall the flavors were lackluster and the portions were not worth the cost. Also the fish quality was just average. I actually prefer Kamehachi a half mile down the road (the oyster shooters there are raging!). Excellent cocktails and a nice place to people-watch though.

Dishes I tried:

Grilled Tuna Steak

Fish quality was OK. Poor flavors. Perhaps an off-day?

Beautifully prepared sushi

The presentation at Oysy is always impeccable. When you get your sushi, you can definitely see the attention to detail. The catepillar roll has a cute little face with green antennae and the red dragon roll has a pretty cool dragon head. If I had to make the sushi, it’d take me hours…

Anyways, the sushi is good. It usually take me quite a few rolls to get full, so it can get pricey but it’s a nice indulgence every now and then.

Not bad. The roll is big and refreshing. The egg is the best part.

Wow! That is spicy. There were a couple chopped peppers embedded inside that really knocked me out. When I wasn’t sweating from the spice, the roll was hearty and sweet.

Bleh. Not much taste here, just some mushiness on the inside. Only 4 pieces too for $5.

My favorite here so far

Oysy has been my favorite sushi restaurant since arriving upon the shores of Lake Michigan. The environment is nice, and the fish has been consistently fresh. For the downtown area with limited restaurants, it is a select place to go.

Dishes I tried:

declining quality

i’ve been going to oysy since it first opened, and the rolls were always hefty-sized, beautifully presented, and of fresh quality. i recently went here on a wednesday, and what a change…the rolls were poorly wrapped, small, and lacking in freshness.

i used to recommend oysy often to my friends, but i won’t be directing my friends here anymore.
