Oishii Teriyaki — Restaurant in Bellingham

This is their second location; their original branch is closer to Western Washington University, adjacent to Sehome Cinemas. Their food is exactly as their name claims (as Oishii means "delicious" or a close approximate). Their Teriyaki sauce is an original recipe you won't find anywhere else. They're willing to sell it by the bottle, as well. Their Sushi is also fantastic, and you can watch them make every piece by hand (wearing disposable gloves for hygiene of course) at the front counter.

Unbeatable Yakisoba (with your choice of a meat to accompany the veggies, or tofu, or even just extra veggies if you prefer [onions, broccoli, thin carrot strips, cabbage, etc]).

I probably wouldn’t eat here again for the price of the food we got because I have had better for about the same price but it was nice trying some place new.

Thanks people who were working that were...

I mostly go to restaurants for the food, so this is what I'm basing my review on.

Got a shrimp yakisoba and beef yakisoba and the soba noodles were hardly fried at all and seemed to have not been on the grill very long. The beef was tender but it looked dark and slightly overcooked somehow but it tasted alright so 🤷‍♂️

Weirdest patt is the shrimp still had their tails? I get it might add some flavor but it made it annoying to eat.

The spicy tuna roll we got tasted fine and I haven't gotten sick or anything but the fish was definitely not fresh looking (it looked like it had been oxidizing for a hot minute).

Overall, it's food. It was definitely not worth the price of admission but we were hungry and...
