Oishii Poke - Philadelphia

While waiting for the Chinatown bus to New York, I discovered this restaurant on Happy Cow. I ordered the tofu bowl with brown rice and it was delicious! They offer a variety of vegan toppings and choices. The tofu was perfectly crispy and I will definitely be returning!

I stopped at this restaurant for a quick lunch and tried the aged tofu sushi burrito. It was surprisingly good considering how fast they prepared it.

The poke bowl ingredient options are perfect! My large size tuna, salmon, tofu bowl with eel sauce, and so many tasty additions was the perfect healthy option for dinner! The restaurant itself is tiny and sort of bare, with four tables and two at the window, but the take out traffic was non-stop! I guess those in the neighborhood know a good thing when they taste one. ? Delicious!

What was once a great place, in my opinion, has definitely declined in quality over the years. We order from Oishii about 1-2 times a week and enjoy your the same bowls on a weekly basis. Over time we noticed occasional issues (e.g. Fish not as fresh, missing ingredients in bowls, entirely wrong add-ons sometimes) but had the last straw when we found multiple Staples in our bowls with our most recent order. Whether it was an accident or not, it was a big enough mistake that we won't be dining on food from Oishii any more.

We enjoyed our meal at this restaurant so much that we dined here twice during our two-day trip to Philadelphia! The food was fresh, the portions were generous, and the menu offered unique options. My husband ordered the "burrito," which was reminiscent of a large sushi roll. Even my picky family members were impressed and enjoyed their meals. The service was also excellent.
