Saturday noon, 12 THD Residents (11F and 1M) went to Oishi- a Sushi and Grill Restaurant located at Newell/South California St only about 0.5 mile from THD. We were accompanied by Karen K with our helpful driver, Nancy. My order of Shrimp Tempura Bento Box was excellent. The lunch includes miso soup, salad and hot tea. With tips, it cost $25.
I took a few pictures during lunch and here it is for your viewing pleasure. I had a couple of shrimp tempura leftover and a bowl of rice that I took to my apartment that I consumed with gusto later in the afternoon. It was an excellent lunch with good company. I enjoyed the outing in spite of the light drizzle and not a sunny day.
This lunch excursion is a welcome change from our regular lunch menu here at The Newtons. I suggest more lunch excursions to other ethnic restaurants be organized again by our Activity Directors. There are several ethnic restaurants in downtown Walnut Creek that are at least rated 3 Stars. ethnic restaurants in Walnut Creek, ca
I have been to a Peruvian restaurant( Limon) and course to Creek House for Chinese Dim Sum. The Thai restaurant located in the same outdoor mall with Oishi has been mentioned as one of the best Thai restaurant in Walnut Creek.
