The first thing I noticed when walking into Oska was the layout. When you first enter you see a small but sleek bar. Then to the left of the bar is a full sushi bar allowing you the pleasure of watching your favorite rolls being created. Off to the right of the sushi bar is the dining area framed with numerous grilling tables. \nOur server was attentive and help us with any questions we had. My father and I each had a Sapporo and my mom had their Pomegranate martini. Her martini was garnished with fresh Pom seeds and she told us it was one of the better Pomtini's she's had. \nAfter we ordered drinks we moved on to the appetizers. We decided we'd get the Calamari and Spicy Edamame. The Calamari arrived fried to perfection. It was light, crisp and very fresh. A dark dipping sauce accompanied it but was a tad bitter with a strange after taste. Next came the Spicy Edamame and let me tell you; these were awesome. I would describe the taste as a somewhat meaty, garlic, red pepper fusion. Either way take my word for it and order yourself some. \nFinally we get to the highlight of the evening; Sushi. We ordered four rolls and split them between ourselves. The Hamachi (yellowtail and chive), 911 (crab,avocado, spicy tempura), California Crunch (Cali roll tempura), and The Taylor (Shrimp,Crab. topped with fresh salmon). Talk a great sushi. The Hamachi definitely had a fishy taste, but was incredibly fresh. I find that yellow tail always has that fish taste. And while you can never go wrong with Cali Crunch (its a classic) this one while incredibly tasty needed just a little more tempura to make it really crunch. The 911 was the best I have ever had! It was the perfect heat, crunch and just pure yumminess. And finally The Taylor with its tempura shrimp and delectable crab topped with a perfect cut of salmon was my personal favorite of the night. The combination was just right with the salmon giving it a sweet almost candy like chew. -AMAZING- And I don't say that lightly. I am a very picky eater and the fact that this roll was my favorite is saying something. \nOver all we loved our meal and have deemed it one of our new hot spots. And their Happy Hour lasts from 3-7 which meant our whole meal was on a slight special. Not only that but they have a killer lunch special that has many menu items at 50% off.
