| The allure is not apparent from the exterior of Oishii, but the interior space holds subtle touches of clever design elements jumbled with standard issue diner chairs and tables. Owner and sushi chef Thanh Nguyen works magic at his little sushi bar. In amateur hands, crispy tuna rolls capped with a spicy jalapeño mayonnaise could spell disaster, but here, the rolls are daintily battered flash-fried strips of rare tuna nesting in nicely-executed sushi rice. Ditto the salmon skin rolls. And then there is the unexpected sashimi salad tangled with bits of tuna, salmon and octopus served over a crispy bed of iceberg lettuce in a tangy sesame, soy and rice vinegar dressing. The rest of the menu is a free-flowing journey through Southeast Asia---hearty pho and delicate spring rolls from Vietnam, Thai-style hot pots, satay and noodle dishes and Chinese standards like orange beef. The lemon-grass chicken, served with a meat and veggie stuffed egg roll, boasts supple strips of white meat sautéed with slivered onions and fragrant lemon grass in a brown sauce. |
