Some of Houston’s most beloved food is tucked away in random retail centers, discovered on the fly or by word of mouth. Oishii is more like an open secret. This Upper Kirby restaurant, named after the Japanese word for delicious, anchors an otherwise run-of-the-mill commercial space, next door to a dry cleaner and a liquor and cigar store. Family-owned and operated, Oishii is a one-stop spot for classics like sashimi, tempura, and udon dishes. Folks love Oishii for its blend of quality, flavor, and amazing value.
