    “Went here twice on our recent stay in the area to try different options. The tofu and broccoli in garlic sauce was one of the best tofus I’ve ever had. The sesame tofu was also amazing. The menu is laid out so that you can easily identify the vegan dishes, which are plentiful. Very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.”

    “If you want to have newly made, quick Asian Food (especially Thai & Japanese), Oishii Bowl is the place I always regularly visit. The taste is really delicious! The price & the portion is reasonable. The quality is good. The atmosphere is clean. We can order via Kiosk/ Tablet and that’s convenient. They have 2 options: dine-in and take-away. The only thing I would critic is that we cannot add on some proteins in dish, unless you directly contact with staffs (which normally are not there at the counter). In summary, every thing is good here. Looking forward to coming back for sure.”

    “Wonderful Food- Just Ask That They Be More Realistic About Prep Time.Their sushi is prepared well and the best deal in town. But you may want to double the time they give you for pick up orders. It's possible that they don't want to tell you the realistic time because it will sound too long. We ordered the Sushi for Two (which is easily enough for four-- and we have big appetites!) It was beautifully prepared-- but they told me 25 minutes and it was closer to an hour. Double the time, and then you will be very happy with this place!”
