Oye's Restaurant & Bar, Reading, MA?

Has anyone had the sushi at Oye's in Reading?

I know it's close to Sushi Island in Wakefield and I'm wondering if this is a good option for sushi in that area.

    Some of my family have gluten allergies and we went there since they have a lot of gluten-free options. I had the (non-gluten-free) Crispy Flounder Fillet in Spicy Szechuan Sauce was quite good. The sauce was pretty much an entire order of ma po tofu on the fried fish. That's a good thing.

      We've only eaten there once, and had a few Polynesian/Chinese dishes and sushi rolls. It was all just OK. A good non-chain option in that immediate complex, but nothing to go out of your way for.

        Thank you.

        It's sort of what I thought and I noticed a lot of mixed reviews on Yelp and nothing here.

          Oye's does something that may be worth trying. Monday-Friday afternoons, they have half price appetizers and $1 oysters. Sushi Island may set the standard here, but Oye's is very good. They are always busy and it's interesting to note that they are owned by the same people as Sato II in Stoneham, which always has been reviewed well.

          They have "Hamachi Kama" as an appetizer. It was new to me and it's essentially the broiled collar of yellow tail tuna. Unbelievable flavor.

            Thanks...I don't get that way often during the weekdays but the price of the "Hamachi Kama" on the menu is worth me stopping by to check it out.
            I hope to check it out soon.

              just had the 1/2 price apps and they were really excellent! For 16$ we had shrimp tempura (3 hrimp with onions,peppers, taro, sweet potato,greenbeans), agedashi tofu, shumai, crab rangoon, spinach peking dumplings.Best shrimp shumai i ever had and all the dipping sauces were good too. Nice jazz on the speakers. Very good afternoon eating experience.
