A bunch of my buddies (a crew of Mansion alumni) are always talking about their late-night escapades at Oishii on Wycliff west of the Tollway. I've been before, but always seem to miss "the Man" - Chef Thanh.
I got it right last weekend. Here is the evidence:
^ Thanh sends out some Vietnamese specialties to our motley crew.
The great food and flowing Black & Gold sake made for a large time.
Oishii does boffo business and boasts an extensive menu of Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai dishes.
I will be returning to sit at the Sushi bar and order a kind of omakase meal from Thanh - chef's choice - whatever's good. I hear good things. So far so good!
, it was paid for with Cold Hard Cash, and that's that.
Love, love, LOVE Oishii! It's a true gem of a restaurant. And Chef Thanh is wonderful!

Jocelyn and I ate there alot when we lived in that area... I loved that place because I could always feel comfortable ordering something different every time we went there.

I love Thanh, he's a terrific host. And that On the Border roll is killer. Great curry too!
