Oishi Japanese - Walnut Creek

Although it stated as Japanese restaurant it's actually is a Thai restaurant serving many different kind of Thai food. One particular entree that I would not order again was a Lamb rack dish cooked with curry. The lamb meats had no taste with little meat. It was disappointing. But my other orders were quite good. I liked their salmon eggroll dipped with Thai sweet sauce.

I've been there for lunch twice and had Thai and sushi. It is a casual atmosphere, the menu is too large (multiple menus), the food was good both times but nothing to write home about.

Restaurant decor is a little crowded and eclectic I like it, but I'm not sure it's everyone's favorite. The food is great here. Most of their rolls contain shrimp or crab. If you are allergic like me, look at the menu carefully as there aren't too many options. But all the ones I've hd have been good.Service for takeaway is excellent. If you're planning to eat in the restaurant, it might be hard to get the server's attention because they're often SO BUSY. (If you are on a time crunch, try telling them at the beginning and see if that improves things a bit. They aim to please and will want you to have a good experience.)Parking: Parking in this plaza is a b*tch though. So many businesses and not enough spots. There is more parking closer to Safeway.

For being 1 of 3 tables that were being served, the service was horrible. The chef was extremely slow, but the wait staff was just as slow, taking 10 minutes even to take my drink order. I will definitely not be back!

When we got there the hostess was outside chasing her boyfriend and so she had left her post. The wind was blowing very hard through rhe restaurant through the open doors. We were finally seated, on our own. The food was excellent but the waitress was pretty hard nosed. At the end of the meal, which we had enjoyed,. We asked to see a dessert menu and she said, you can 't have dessert... we 're closed . Then she gave us our tab and we left. That 's exactly what happened.
