Oishii

One of our favorite places to eat sushi is Oishii - on Richmond in the Greenway area. It doesn't necessarily have the best food of all the sushi places around, but its fresh and whats nice about it is their happy hour - weekdays from like 3-7 I think. Cheap beer and $4 appetizers (including some of the basic sushi rolls) that are really $2 because it's buy one get one free!

Brian and Jonathan had just gone there a few days before, and we hadn't been in a while, so we decided to go on Monday since Kimmy had some time between work and a seminar thing she was going to that night.

I had a beer and we ate:
- Soup and salad - Kimmy got the creamy dressing and I got the ginger one
- Gyoza - pork dumplings (don't really like their sauce, but the dumplings are good)
- Ika Tempura - fried squid
- Spicy Salmon roll
- Dynamite roll - mixed fish including some peppered tuna that tasted really good in there
- Sumo roll - specialty roll, so regular price during happy hour, but we wanted to try it - it's got tempura shrimp, smoked salmon, cream cheese, jalapeno and cucumber, then the whole roll is tempura fried, topped with a whole bunch of masago.

All that for under $20, and it would have been about 10 if we hadn't gotten the sumo roll, everything else is happy hour priced.
