With its inviting atmosphere and menu full of variety, Oishii Sushi and Teriyaki offers patrons an exotic dining experience.
Oishii, located on Magnolia Avenue in the Ralph’s shopping center, features a menu that provides guests with a wealth of choices.
It is one of the most comprehensive sushi menus available in the area.
The ingredients used in sushi can make it very expensive, however, the lunch specials at Oishii are quite affordable.
For $9.50, the chicken teriyaki bento provides enough food for several guests.
The special comes with chicken teriyaki, California rolls, steamed rice, mixed tempura and the daily special salad.
The freshness of the sushi can be tasted in every bite. The California rolls are soft and full of flavor. The flavor from the avocado is nicely balanced with the crab.
While it is considered a side dish, proper preparation of rice can make or break an Asian meal. The sushi rice and the steamed rice are both cooked perfectly.
The chicken teriyaki is juicy, tender and prepared to perfection.
The teriyaki sauce contains the right balance of sweet and savory.
Oishii also offers all you can eat sushi and with its wide and varied sushi selection, this provides customers the opportunity to try new tastes and flavors.
Adding to the impressive menu and comfortable price is the casual atmosphere.
Servers are attentive but don’t hover.
The relaxed decor and warm, inviting colors immediately puts diners at ease and makes them feel welcome.
The dining room ceiling is decorated with an array of Asian lanterns and parasols.
Deep red walls and light gray seats give the room a classic touch that never detracts from the overall palette of the restaurant.
Oishii is extremely popular with locals. Long lines can frequently be found for dinner patrons.
Featuring a varied cuisine at affordable prices, Oishii Sushi and Teriyaki should be added to every student’s list of favorite lunch spots.
