Glad you enjoyed the uni dish, it sounded delicious. Maybe I will try it again just in case :) Overall, I really enjoyed Oishii. The atmosphere was great and the quality of the fish was spectacular. I saw Wagyu on the menu, was it around $100? Eek! One day I hope I can try it. I've never had Wagyu cooked before but have always wanted to. I did try it raw once; it was thinly sliced and you squeeze lime juice over it to kill the bacteria, also gives it some yummy flavor. (I had it at Q Hot Pot in Chinatown if you are ever curious to try it). I must step up my Wagyu game! By the way, I've only been to Highland Kitchen once for brunch but your review makes me want to try dinner there! If the goat stew is that good, I am looking forward to trying it soon. Hi Nicole!

I also ordered the pasta with uni, truffles, and a poached egg, and I really liked it—sorry to hear that you didn't! :( Maybe the kitchen was having an off-day? But regardless, I'm glad that you had a good time overall. I'll be returning soon for a (much!) cheaper lunch and I'm very excited! Setting cost aside entirely, I highly recommend getting the wagyu if you feel up for splurging there sometime. You cook the tiny strips on a hot stone yourself. It's a lot of fun!

Oishii is now on my must-go list, but I hope I don't let the anticipation get the better of me!
