We came here last night after our fourth failed attempt to dine at Ricky Thai. Larry S. had a craving for Thai that could not be ignored, so thanks to my trusty Yelp app, we were directed to Oishi just a few blocks away.
Although it's in a strip mall, the interior is lovely and upscale. Due to the pleasant winter weather, we opted to dine outside, but on a return visit, I would probably eat inside. The lighting outside is VERY bright!
We had the spring rolls (crisply fried and not at all greasy), the shrimp salad (six jumbo shrimp on lettuce dressed in a tangy, piquant sauce) and the chicken cashew sauce. All of the food was excellent! Very fresh and attractively plated. We opted for the cashew sauce because I do not eat chicken and it seemed like it had a lot of vegetables for me to eat - indeed, that was the case! Plenty of onions, peppers, carrots, celery and mushrooms, enrobed (HA! I hate that word!) in a slightly spicy sauce and garnished with cashews.
Service was excellent, although a tad on the slow side. We were also seated next to a VERY loud family, which detracted a bit from the experience, although it was not the restaurant's fault. I thought the prices were high - more like what you would pay in South Beach and not in a suburban strip mall - so I would likely return for lunch. Then again, if you read my reviews, you know I am a value diner, so take that comment with a teaspoon of curry!
