Oishii

VIBE: Oishii boasts sushi and pan-Asian cuisine. What's pan-Asian, you ask? Well, it's a celebration of several Asian cuisines you know and love, from Chinese and Japanese to Thai and Korean. This place is laid back, for sure. It's a word-of-mouth gem, with no frills on the décor, but superb service and food that speaks for itself.

WHY IT'S TOT-FRIENDLY: One look around Oishii's dining room on a recent evening, and you spy tiny school uniforms from various North Dallas private schools. Families flock here for the fresh Asian fare and appetizer favorites, and the kids love it.
