Sushi Oishii

FOOD

Sushi Oishii’s all-you-can-eat menu runs from individual pieces of nigiri to ramen, rice bowls and hibachi. The restaurant includes its menu items within the unlimited experience, giving the kitchen dishes as much of a role as the rolls. Raw fish, cooked seafood and vegetable choices provide several distinct directions, with appetizers and ice cream completing the meal.

Nigiri keeps the fish selection straightforward: salmon, tuna, yellowtail and mackerel appear alongside shrimp, eel, squid and other choices. Egg and tofu skin are also listed. Sashimi has its own appetizer, while sashimi salad and the seafood rice bowl offer other presentations. These are different ways to explore the fish selection, rather than a meal that depends entirely on elaborate rolls.

The signature rolls have more going on. Rainbow brings tuna, salmon, avocado and shrimp over a California roll; Samurai pairs tempura shrimp and cucumber with eel, avocado and sauces. Spider uses soft-shell crab, while the fried Phoenix combines smoked salmon, shrimp, jalapeño and cream cheese. Classic cucumber, avocado and sweet-potato rolls give the selection simpler vegetable choices alongside familiar salmon and tuna rolls.

Mini rice bowls move the same meal into a different form. Unagi don puts grilled eel over rice, with seaweed salad, pickled radish and sesame. Salmon and tuna bowls use sushi rice with avocado and cucumber. Oishii fried rice takes a cooked route with chicken, egg, vegetables and scallions. The bowls broaden the menu beyond rolls without turning it into a separate ordering proposition.

Noodles deserve attention of their own. Tonkotsu ramen uses pork-bone broth with chashu pork, bamboo shoots, wood-ear mushrooms, egg and nori. Spicy pork ramen has its own broth and chili oil, while seafood udon combines thicker noodles with dashi, shrimp, imitation crab and vegetables. Stir-fried udon offers another preparation; the menu also includes Japanese beef curry and hibachi choices ranging from vegetables to steak, shrimp and salmon.

The smaller dishes can make a varied opening round. Pork gyoza, vegetable tempura, edamame and shumai sit beside fried oysters, baked mussels and soft-shell crab. Bang Bang Chicken is a panko-breaded chicken thigh preparation with spicy mayo. Avocado Bomb brings fried avocado together with imitation crab and cream cheese. Miso soup and seaweed salad offer simpler counterparts to those fried or sauced choices.

Ice cream supplies the advertised dessert finish. Individual fish pieces, composed rolls, broths, rice bowls and cooked dishes all take part in the same unlimited meal.
