| - Oishii. My default spot when it comes to a great tasting, affordable meal on Pitt campus. Oishii is closed on sundays.. I am well aware of this because for whatever reason I always crave Oishii after church, ahh.. you want what you can't have (on Sundays).
KATSU-DON ($8.75): My go to. I just love the pork with the veggies and then the house broth makes the bowl not too dry, like the tonkatsu or the chicken katsu are. Some may think it is a little sweet, but when I come to Oishii, I'm getting the Katsu-Don 99% of the time.
SPICY PORK BOWL ($8.00): Also a great choice, with the pork and veggies all the same reddish color, it may not be the most prettiest dish, but it does have a kick of spiciness! If I'm in the mood for just a lotta pork and some fried onions in there too, this is what I'm getting. The portions are so generous here that I never feel like I'm wasting my money.
VEGETABLE TEMPURA ($7.25): For those times when I want to be fake healthy and eat veggies but they're fried. The fried zucchini and onions are meh, but the fried sweet potato is super delish! The tempura come with a sauce to dip in.
SEATING: Is very limited to like 3 chairs on the main floor and like 30-40 seats upstairs? So choose your dining time wisely, or just do take out! However they do have sriracha, soy sauce, barley tea, and water here if you do decide to stay.
SERVICE/WAIT-TIME: Probably at least 15 mins for your food to be made, they give you a number and you wait until it's called/ on their number system thingy in the upstairs.
**Want to skip the wait? Call in beforehand and place an order via the phone and pick it up when you get there. Give them some time because this place is popular and they take their time making your yummy Korean food.
Not the cheapest option on campus, but I do think that most of the entrees are worth it. ~$10 for a bowl might seem a lot, but you actually get a lot of food to save for a second meal, otherwise you may fall into a food coma if you can eat it all in one sitting..
