Oishi — Restaurant in Odivelas

Personally not a fan. The staff was a bit apathetic, albeit attentive. One of the ladies was especially kind, making sure we had everything.

It's à la carte all-you-can-eat (you choose as many pieces from the menu as you want, as many times as you want, on a set price of 10,90€ for lunch and 14,90€ for dinner including dessert) which basically means you will not get exactly what you asked for about 20% of the time.

As for the fish, it was not fresh. The tuna in particular was terrible - no colour, dry and tasteless texture. The sushi had a good rice ratio (not too much), yet the fried dishes had way too much sweet and sour sauce. Even the fried banana had exaggerated amounts of strawberry sauce for my taste - I'm not even sure why it had this topping to begin with (albeit a nice idea in theory, it was not a good match as they presented it). Sometimes, I could barely taste the food itself the sauce was on. And I was disappointed that the mushrooms were not shiitake, but that was my mistake for assuming and nowhere did they intend for them to be. Everything else that didn't have those additional flavours mentioned earlier was OK. California and other uramaki that we tried were fine.

They accept both cash and debit cards (even meal cards). Not sure about credit, since I didn't need it.

It's located in a good neighbourhood and we found no trouble parking close to the establishment. Not simple to reach by public transport if you're coming from Lisbon, though.

In the end, and in my experience, it's a cheap option that you can find elsewhere with...

First word: greasy.... next idea is that the noodles taste like Chinese noodles. Some with cabbage and egg the second bowl mostly plane noodles. The beef was dry and not very tasty. The squid camed differently on the first and second order. The first oil and onion the seccond lemon and no onion... The fish was mostly fresh, apart from the tuna that was kind of lifeless and tasteless. The rice, a major disappointment. Cold and tasteless. Also found a hair in the food. Service was nice but you can get a lot better for the same price So not recomend and won't...

If like me, you are a foreigner, lost in this city far away from any train station because your friend told you that there is a good and cheap Japanese restaurant. There you are ! For the price the quality of the food is very good, I cannot say that the employee are attentive but maybe it's...
