Caught up with a good old friend in South Yarra today and we decided to give Oishi Kitchen a go.
I ordered the Creamy Garlic Prawns with Kimchi Fried Rice and it was fantastic! The creaminess of the garlic sauce with the fried rice was like a pork with apple sauce sort of marriage – they went so well together. The seafood component was generous with not only prawns but also clams, large calamari rings, and big mussels.
My friend had the Unagi Bento Box off their lunch specials and said it was nice, although the sides could be better. It came with some green salad, pickled radish, fried dumplings and deep fried triangular parcels that tasted like curry puffs. Whilst we both liked the radish and parcels, we reckon that one less fried side item would be good. Perhaps a Japanese potato salad instead?
We also shared a serve of:
Sundubu: I love my Korean tofu stew and they have nailed it here! The soup had the right amount of depth and kick to it and, again, the quantity of seafood was plentiful.
Mandu: These were the least of our favourites. The fillings of these dumplings (different to the ones in my friends bento box) were tasty but the skins were so dry that they were bordering on hard. Quite unpleasant actually.
Oishi Kitchen Salad: Simple and refreshing with a tasty sesame dressing.
Overall, it was good value for money and they are definitely generous with their portions. Both our meals came with miso soups on the side although not mentioned in the menu.
Despite the letdown on the dumplings, we had a good lunch and service was warm and pleasant. Only problem is, I cant stop thinking about the garlic prawns and kimchi fried rice….
We had salad, fried chicken, seafood fried rice with creamy sauce and water. We really liked the salad. Fresh, springy, delicious and lovely dressing (not too sour). We liked the water too – cold and really help to refresh what came next. The fried chicken looked so good from the outside, but because the oil was either burned or overused, the chicken had a pungent smell. The fried rice could have been good if it was not too oily, and if it was not contaminated by the cheap processed cheese.
