Overall impression: Tons of veggie sushi options.

Downtown Worcester isn't someplace we go to a lot for dining, I really need to explore more. Sure, there is the Armsby Abbey for fabulous beer and cocktails (though I'm not a beer drinker), but I have a hard time getting my husband to dine there. Ritual we liked for a while, until we had such horrible service last year that we gave it the final cross off of our list. But both those places are on the upper end of style and kind of "chi chi". Most places downtown are fewer frills, and that is really fine. (See last week's post on Addie Lee's... though Addie Lee's has more ambience than Oishi).
So, I went to the rather small kind of hole in the wall restaurant, Oishi, on my friend Nadine's recommendation. I just got take-out to have for lunch at work. The people working there were very friendly. They pointed out the delivery option and also gave me a frequent-eater card (5th meal and free stuff!). It really is small inside, but dining in would be fine if that's your desire. The restaurant is right by the common, and I didn't have any problem finding street parking on a Thursday at 11:30.
There are several veggie sushi options, which is great for me (no meat, no fish). I got a mixed veggie roll and an avocado roll. I decided to also get Maguro (tuna) sushi a la carte for my friend Sarah to taste-test. I thought mine was yummy. However, with veggie sushi I don't think there are the great differences in quality as there can be with regular sushi. (I don't consider vegetarian sushi "regular" as there was none to be had in Japan when we visited.) Sarah liked hers, but said that the tuna was very thin-sliced. She would have there food again.
There you have it, a perfectly fine place downtown for sushi. Pop in if you are around!
