Popular Dallas sushi restaurant to open in Fort Worth near zoo, TCU
Oishii Sushi & Pan-Asian Cuisine, one of Dallas’ long-standing sushi favorites since Vietnam-born chef Thanh Nguyen opened it in 2003, is coming to Fort Worth, according to state records.
Oishii will open in a strip shopping center at 1664 S. University Drive, in a former chain chicken wings restaurant near an IHoP and Panera, according to the application.
The Dallas location of Oishii — “delicious” — was the first venture for Nguyen after he won success for his work at Steel, a trendy sushi restaurant in the Oak Lawn neighborhood.
Like the new location, the original Oishii opened in a modest strip shopping center at 2525 Wycliff Ave. Nguyen has added two more Dallas locations plus restaurants in Plano and Grapevine, along with a Vietnamese restaurant in Dallas, LaVui.

The menu includes a wide-ranging selection of sushi and sashimi plus traditional appetizers such as dumplings and pot stickers, with omakase sushi,. Chinese and Vietnamese entrees.
The Star-Telegram’s original review of Oishii praised both the crispy tuna roll and the Vietnamese pho, saying the restaurant “could be a prototype for casual sushi joints.”
The restaurant is tentatively scheduled to open by fall.
