Oishii Donburi

Mystery date... LUNCH?! Yup. Switching it up today. Every other week I pick a restaurant and tell my wife when to be ready and how to dress but not where we are going. This week we did lunch at Oishii Donburi.I got the Bulgolgi Bimbimbab. The egg was perfectly gooey inside the beef was super tender and the veggies were packed high. The spicy Korean sauce added a nice kick and I'm glad it came on the side.I also got the Kyoza and the soy sauce it came with was smoky and so damn good. Some of the best fried dumplings I've had anywhere.My wife got the Bulgolgi bowl and it was incredible. The onions were so plentiful and yummy.We saw someone order the katsudon and it looked incredible we have to come back!

Great Korean and Japanese cuisine. Fast efficient ordering. Great ambience. No booze and no BYOB.

Eel bowl is great. Wish wasabi was on the side. A bit hefty for price but standard for Midwest. Free barley tea dine in

I got the mix katsu Don and was immensely satisfied with my meal. The food came out fast and the portions are enormous here. The takoyaki was also very good. They also have free hot barley tea! The restaurant is small and very clean. Will have to visit again next time I'm in Pittsburgh.

Overall pretty good, it's the same owners as oishii bento in Oakland so the Bowls taste pretty similar. Still yummy and will hit the spot if you're craving some udon. It's a pretty large portion size and I would come back for more just cause there's not many places that serve decent udon here. There's free barley tea which is nice and ambiance is better than the location in Oakland. Food always takes a hot minute to come out but it's usually fresh and hot.

Small but cute place, great for takeout particularly if you're hanging around one of the local breweries. Recommend the rice bowls in particular. Last time we got the Hae Dub Bab. I almost passed on ordering at first because seemed pretty pricey for takeout bowl, but I was happy with the amount and quality of fish. We also tried the gyudon which was excellent.I did get the tempura shrimp udon once to go, and that was a bit of a fail - mainly because of the fact that it was to go. The tempura shrimp were put in the soup instead of on the side, so by the time I ate it, it was a soggy mess. The udon itself was fine but not stellar. Definitely want to go back and try the takoyaki and some other dishes

I really didn't try much from this place, but I can already tell the food quality is very high. They serve many delicious dishes, but I decided to order something relatively simple and small: tacoyaki.Wow, it was very tasty! I don't think I've ever had proper tacoyaki, and now I'm hooked. They are octopus balls with a bready covering, sauce, and seaweed on top. The packaging was also quite lovely.I have no complaints about the flavor. They used the perfect amount of sauce (a type of Mayo and eel sauce I think) and it was delicious. Perfect texture. A tad on the soft side. I will say that you don't get that much octopus with each ball (just a bit in the middle), but it's still delicious. The portion is solid, too.All in all, this place serves excellent Japanese food. If the rest of menu is as good as the tacoyaki, I'd definitely come back for more. Please do try the tacoyaki!

Great dinner experience at Oishii Donburi! I have gone to their location in Oakland many times and was excited to try out this lawrenceville location. Menu is similar to the Oakland location but this location has curry! This location's interior is also a more fancy than the Oakland location.We did not have a problem finding street parking outside the restaurant. There is limited seating with a few tables and counter seating. When we came it was not too busy and we easily found a table. I always enjoy their free hot barley tea which is perfect for this chilly weather. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food came out hot and fresh. We were both very satisfied with our delicious food! Overall great place for a nice, fast casual dinner

Enjoyed my first time here. Ordered a bulgogi rice bowl extra spicy. It was very good but really lacked in any sense of spice relative to salty Thai food 1-5. Probably a 2. The tacoyaki ocotopus balls were tasty and prepared fresh. Counter service and pick your table. I'll definitely be back

I got the Tofu curry and my partner got the katsudon. I finished my Tofu curry before I could take a picture. Everything was delicious. We sat at the counter to eat. They provided us complementary barley tea which was also great.
