Staff with very bad attitude. Snobbish and arrogant. Group of 4 came in at around 2000PM tonight and there were plenty of tables inside. The staff led us to a very tiny table for dining. Then we tried negotiating to the staff for moving to a bigger table as two of us are elderly and cannot sit comfortably in small space. However, the staff refused the simple request straightaway with very unpleasant comment: ”The table is for 6 people only but if we order enough food then they can move us to the big table” even though apparently there are more than enough space in the restaurant and actually we found at least 2 other groups of 4 people were sitting on the tables with exactly same size at the same time. Very judging and snobbish staff. Worst customer services ever experienced in Hunter area.
Oishii has stood the test of time. Whilst the minimalist decor shows signs of fading and age, Oishii continues to dish up the same quality it has been doing for years, nailing consistency where others seem to fall down. The menu hasn’t changed, but I don’t think it needs to, offering refined versions of your usual favourites across Japanese and Thai cuisines. The duck curry ($25.50) is mild, slightly sweet with lychee and keeps the duck the star of the show. The pork gyozas ($15) are meaty, wrappers are tender as well as lightly crisp fried. The teppanyaki beef ($28.90) is my favourite and worth every penny. The meat melts in your mouth and is accompanied with sizzle-plate asian greens, miso, rice and the most delectable butter and umami-rich sauce. Expect real wasabi and a beautiful view if sitting outside. Oishii do a few options by the glass and have a rather modest bottle list making it an easy selection. You’re paying what some would deem a premium, that said you’re experiencing a premium. Oishii is no local in view, dining room, or food.
Extremely quick and efficient. Friendly staff. No atmosphere though – Very noisy. Delicious duck carpaccio, curry puffs and gyoza.
The duck and curry puffs were delicious! Quick service. When we called to book the person who answered the phone when we called was a little rude and said we had to be finished by 3 pm.
