OYSY Sushi

Last week we went to OYSY sushi again. I think this makes OYSY our official downtown sushi spot. As I mentioned before, the fish is good and the prices are reasonable. .. unless your Dallas and you eat 15 nigiri in one sitting. Then complain you’re full and order mochi ice cream anyway! That can add up.

We used to always refer to the restaurant by the letters in it’s name – “O Y S Y.” I mentioned to Dallas that I saw on the restaurant’s website that it’s actually pronounced “oh-EE-she” and he recognized it as a Japanese word that means “delicious.” I looked it up and “delicious” in Japanese is actually spelled “oishii.” I guess OYSY looks better on the sign, I don’t know. But the restaurant is delicious indeed!

After dinner we went to Charles and Alpana‘s condo for a small cocktail party. Little did we know that Alpana is a great cook and had made homemade carnitas, guacamole, quesadillas and pineapple upside down cake. Wish we wouldn’t have eaten so much sushi, but oh well. We still packed it in somehow, along with large quantities of wine, of course. I hadn’t seen Alpana for a while and Charles even longer, so it was good to see them again. We got to meet their little pug, Haruki as well. He was so cute. I told Alpana that even if Dallas and I don’t get a dog, I’m still coming over for play dates with Haruki!

This week was Paul Baker’s birthday so we took him out to eat at OYSY Sushi. It was nice to hang out with Paul and Kate and to eat large amounts of sushi. I didn’t realize that Paul Baker was so into sushi but was happy to find out he is! Kate still has training wheels a bit, but she’s learning what she likes and is willing to try a lot of things, so that’s great.

I’d been to OYSY a couple times for lunch – they have a yummy $12 bento box – but had never been there for dinner. I enjoyed it a lot. I’m not the best judge of raw fish, but Dallas said he thought it was good and fresh and I trust him. Also, the prices were pretty reasonable as far as sushi in Chicago goes. I think we’ll be back.

OYSY Sushi just opened a location on E. Grand. It’s super good and pretty inexpensive. I got all of this pictured plus miso soup for only $12. If you go you’ll want to get there a little before the noon rush. We got there at about 11:55 and the place was empty. When we left at about 1:00 there wasn’t an open seat available.
