Went into the new sushi joint on Bardstown Rd. yesterday (across from Left Field Lounge where Papa Johns was like 9 years ago) and was very very impressed! The portions were extremely generous. We ordered Hamchi and Maguro nigiri, the fish was cut thick and draped over the rice expertly. We also tried a couple rolls, several of which were standard sushi fare and several of which were very interesting unique creations. The Pacific roll had Tuna, Yellow tail, and shrimp with tempura crumbles, hot sauce and japanese seasoned mayonnaise and was my wife's favorite, which worked out well because with tuna, flying fish roe, mango, cream cheese, avocado and hot sauce, the Hot Girl roll was definitely mine! Fantastic lunch, with a beautifully presented complimentary orange for dessert. Total was $37 before a well deserved $9 tip.
Oishii essentially translates as "tasty" in japanese and this restaurant DEFINITELY lives up to it's name.
