I first went to Oishii back in 2000 and the food was amazing. Rumor has it that the chef had worked at Nobu (NYC). Fast forward to 2008, the menu is still the same, dated since early 2000. The food is awful and expensive. ($82 for 2 rolls and a couple of apps and 1 beer for 2 people) I wonder if they changed ownership? I had the hamachi tata app ($17) and it was a spoonful of pre-chopped fish in sour soy sauce that can give your stomach ulcer. The nuta octopus ($8) was supposed to be marinated in a special Japanese sauce, well it arrived covered with American mayo ! The decor is still the same, dingy and cramped. The food used to be great so the place was charming. Now, it is just dingy and smelly. Recently I had take out with a friend and we both had stomach issues at 5am till the next afternoon. The more I think about what I have eated tonight, I am feeling sick to my stomach. Needless to say, I won't be going back and I do not recommend this to anyone.
Cons: the worst Japanese food ever
