ystra sushi & kitchen

This is our family’s favorite restaurant recently. I went twice in one week for my bday week and mom chose Oystra as her bday meal too. We got the omakase to share amongst three people and it was more than enough food. We left feeling full and happy. The food quality is amazing for the price and the menu continues to change so we still have the element of surprise even after going multiple times. The decor is very cute and seasonal. We love it here and will continue to be back.

I LOVED my upbringing in Duluth but never in my life would I have thought you could get this level of Asian food in my hometown! Mr. Shim (former owner of Happy Sumo and one of my dad’s closest friends) sold Happy Sumo last year and recently started working at Oystra because he just didn’t want to sit at home…he told us he really enjoys just making sushi and slicing sashimi without the stress of owning a restaurant…it makes me happy to see him happy…no picture of dad because we sat at the sushi bar and before I could figure out the best way to get a picture of him the food just started coming out! All my Duluth, NE Atlanta peeps, if you want sushi, this is up there with Sushi Mito in my humble opinion…

Ordered take out via Uber Eats. The food is delicious but the portions were unbelievably small (the fried calamari which cost almost $20 came with 7 pieces and was ice cold). Outrageously overpriced and it seems almost intentional to screw over people not dining in. Our entire meal pictured here cost around $85 taking Uber fees out. No other restaurant in the area is this overpriced. Just a warning to anyone considering delivery or take out.

Firstly, I must say that we were delighted with the puzzle answer we received at Oystra! It turns out Oystra is under the same ownership as Sushi Mania, a restaurant we had previously visited and enjoyed their fresh toro. Now, Oystra presents itself as an upgraded version of Sushi Mania, which is really cool! Both restaurants are tastefully decorated and have a lovely ambiance. However, the most remarkable aspect that sets Oystra apart from Sushi Manira is their some incredible side dishes and new flavors design. The owner's dedication to creating the best fusion of Japanese and Korean styles truly shines. You can experience a culinary adventure by pairing your sashimi with wasabi and ginger, or even salt and seaweed. I absolutely love this innovative approach! During our visit, we couldn't resist trying the oysters, and they were exceptional. Two people, a fully table dishes, just $80. I will come again!

Amazing omakase and hint of Korean taste throughout the courses. Great selection of sake and good service from staff. The chef was very friendly and explained about the dish in detail. The table we sat was somewhat separated from the main section of the restaurant, and we had to walk up to the server a couple of times to ask for something. Otherwise, the experience was amazing throughout the dinner! I am already a regular here!

Such an amazing experience! High quality sushi with a flavor twist you would only expect from a high end sushi bar. Being someone who travels for a living, sushi stops are a must for my family. This is a place I would not only visit again but would highly recommend to anyone in the area or if your just passing through to stop in and enjoy the hand rolls. I recommend the “Hit Roll”. The chefs are talented and eager to deliver fresh sushi every time.

If you're looking for delicious sushi (or Korean BBQ) then you can stop looking. Friendly service, nice décor and atmosphere with the added fun of robot delivery to the table. Bring your appetite as you'll need it if you get the three roll special. Nice added touch of some complementary tidbits before the rolls. AND they have Sapporo on tap. Will be returning. Oh almost forgot... You won't need to worry about having your wallet vacuumed either. (특별한 날에 훌륭한 음식과 서비스에 감사드립니다.)
