Oishii — Best Japanese Restaurants in Dallas, TX

Chef Thanh Nguyen of Oishii is a man of few words. Or so it seems from the other side of the sushi bar as I watch him swiftly yet meticulously craft, roll, torch, slice, shred and garnish raw fish with an eye for detail. He moves with quickness like most sushi chefs I’ve admired, but he doesn’t miss an opportunity to engage with those around him. People flock to this longstanding neighborhood gem not only for the food, but the people behind it.
