Oori Triangles - College Ave — Restaurant in Oakland

Never again!

The staff are hardworking humble people, they’re fine.

The portion sizes aren’t the worst, that’s fine.

The meat was tender and not chewy, that’s good.

But none of this matters when you end up paying $17 for the most uninspiring, tasteless, excessively oily plate of teriyaki chicken on white rice you’ve ever had.

Never again.

This place is a classic “business” and not a “food” place.

They’re clever at setting up shop and putting together just enough of an effort to make it sound like you’re getting “tasty food” when it is instead just a bunch of inharmonious ingredients put together formulaically.

Of course not every place in the world can be expected to produce a gourmet experience but this isn’t even about that, even from a fastfood point of view there’s simply nothing special here that would want to make me ever come back let alone pay the prices they are asking!

Rice triangles: 4/5 love the different options that they have, such as salmon, crab, and ume however, a bit pricey ($4-$5) and tinier than expected

Not sure if I would make the drive out here again. Food is on the slightly more expensive side and other places have...

In all my travels, I look for what I call "happy food." Happy food for me is healthy, nutritious, tasty, nicely prepared, and served by smiling people in a clean environment. Oori exceeded all my happy food requirements and then took me for a ride through food blissfulness with each bite. I had chicken teriyaki, grilled salmon, and spicy tuna triangles. On the side, I complimented it with miso soup and ginger. Each flavor was distinct and made my taste buds ooh, ahh, and wow for more. I'll be back here for more without question. I felt like I was dining at a 5-star restaurant and found the food...
