Oishii



And the greater Houston sushi tour continues ...

Two Saturdays ago, the husband and I stopped into Oishii for one of their (very inexpensive) lunch specials, 9 pieces of sashimi for $8.95. Seriously. Nine pieces, for under $9.

Remarkable.

The sashimi is exactly what you would expect for $9: basic selections of tuna and whitefish chosen by the chef, not every piece is perfectly cut, and some pieces are better than others. Nothing was terrible, and a few of these little bites were actually very tasty. It was all served by friendly and efficient staff in a clean, well-decorated space.

I've always said that there are some things that you shouldn't buy on sale: condoms, LASIK and sushi. I take that back (at least for the sushi). You should probably still pay full price for the other two.
