Oishii is Japanese for delicious, and it sums up this restaurants' entire menu. Everything is simply delicious and worth recommendation. However, Oishii Delicious is more than just an Asian restaurant with good food. Located in the quieter area of Cape Town's Tamboerskloof, it is like a little displaced imaginary world. The interesting and unique decor contributes whole-heatedly to the feel and atmosphere of the place, which enchants and draws you in as if by a gravitational pull. The furniture and home ware are all different colors and styles, and the decorations are a fusion of Asian inspired toys and other cute memorabilia. It is so strange, exciting and nothing like any restaurant you have seen before - definitely worth a long visit. - Annchen Marais
