The Beat 1X team recently visited Sheffield Chinese Restaurant OISOI located on the 1st Floor of Block B, New Era Square, Boston St, Highfield, Sheffield S2 4BF.
Due to a friend of the team banging on about how good the food at OISOI is, we had to go and experience it for ourselves, especially as we love a bit of Chinese cuisine anyway. After visiting, we have to say we were NOT disappointed at all!
WHAT WE ORDERED
Dim Sum
a traditional Chinese meal made up of small plates of dumplings stuffed with different fillings.
Although we didn't like all the dim sum fillings, the overall texture and flavour of their dumplings are very satisfying on the taste buds. Once you find your favourite filling, we do not think you will be disappointed with this option as a starter or light lunch with some tea.
Seared Scallops wrapped in lettuce
Plump scallops pan-fried to a delicate sear set on top of finely chopped water chestnut, carrots & celery. Wrapped in fresh lettuce leaves.
Black Truffle Fillet Beef Cubes
Succulent beef cubes expertly fried & infused with the decadent aroma of black truffle.
When they say tender and succulent beef, they really meant it! The way the beef and truffle complimented each other and melted in our mouths had us surprised and even ordered some more to take home with us.
Malaysian Chicken Curry
Chicken pieces gently simmered in a rich, coconut-infused curry sauce, with fresh herbs & lemongrass.
Fragrant Jasmine Rice
OUR THOUGHTS
Whether you want to go for a catch up lunch with friends, have a family gathering, romantic meal for 2 or celebrate a special occasion, we think OISOI is the perfect spot for making your arrangements.
In terms of experience and customer service, OISOI again delivered. A lot of effort has gone in to making sure the food is cooked and presented as authentically as possible while still giving a feel of fine dining. Staff are very polite and are more than happy to cater to your requests within reason if they are able to make it happen. We did not find ourselves waiting long for food once we ordered and everything came to the table at the right time helping the evening flow nicely.
OISOI have a bar with a pretty wide selction of drinks including the traditional Wiskey, Gin and Wine selections. They also have a nice mix of Chinese and Japanese brand drinks that may take your fancy if you want to try something a little different.
For what you get at OISOI, we feel the prices are very reasonable and have not detered us from wanting to go back more often, especially to try some of the other dishes they have on offer.
