Oishi Sushi California & Salmon Rolls
Oishi Sushi Tempura Shrimp

We ate at Oishi Sushi for dinner and had two different sushi rolls along with Udon noodles and tempura shrimp.

The miso soup that came before the meal was pretty tasty, and it was start to the dinner.

The California rolls were like usual California rolls, but they were delicious, especially with the fresh avocado taste.

The salmon roll was just like the California roll except with salmon on top, and I really enjoyed those, as well.

It would have been nice to have more Udon noodles in the Udon noodle soup, but the noodles tasted good to me, and they had a good texture. However, my boyfriend thought it was disgusting because the soup was a little on the sweet side, and it tasted "like a bowl of hot salad dressing" to him.

I ordered the Udon noodles with three tempura shrimp, and they were delicious. They were nice, crispy, and light. I don't know what the sauce was that came on the side, but that was sweet and super tasty, as well.

Update: Unfortunately, they are now closed due to a fire. 😥

REVIEW – Firebirds Wood Fired Grill: Smokehouse Burger (Leftovers)

Firebirds BBQ Smokehouse Burger

I had a part of my boyfriend's Smokehouse Burger and french fries from Firebirds as leftovers. The Smokehouse Burger came with BBQ sauce, applewood-smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, and red onion.

I usually don't like burgers with BBQ sauce, however, as leftovers, I loved the Smokehouse Burger. The meat was cooked medium and was pink. The meat was very good, and the sauce didn't overpower the burger. The burger bun also wasn't soggy, and it tasted great.

The french fries that came with it were a little bit dry, but they still tasted pretty good, and they went well with the burger.

REVIEW – Firebirds Wood Fired Grill: Grilled Tenderloin Salad, Firebirds Chicken Pasta

Firebirds Grilled Tenderloin Salad

I went to Firebirds Wood Fired Grill for dinner.

The free bread that came with our meal was a soft, warm, and tasty white bread. I ate the bread plain, and it was very good.

I ordered a Grilled Tenderloin Salad and asked for dressing on the side & no bleu cheese crumbles because I don't like my salad over-dressed, and I don't like the taste of bleu cheese. I also asked for the grilled tenderloin to be cooked medium. The steak came out more pink than most other places, which I was actually OK with me, since it was nice, tender, and juicy. The balsamic vinaigrette dressing was nice and sweet, and it went really well with the salad. Overall, I really loved the salad.

Firebirds Chicken Pasta

The Chicken Pasta with Chile Asiago cream sauce had a nice creamy texture. It was just a little bit spicy, which was nice, and the cream sauce wasn't as heavy as other pastas I have had, but it was still pretty filling. The pasta wasn't overcooked, and the bacon bits went well with the pasta, although the bacon did make the pasta a little bit on the salty side.
