Welcome To
Oishii Japanese & Thai Cuisine
Our restaurant located at the Tempus Two winery, in the heart of the Hunter Valley, it has become a favourite for locals and visitors alike. Whether dining inside the minimalist Asian themed dining hall or on the outside undercover terrace overlooking the vines and an architecturally designed amphitheatre, Oishii has become a “must dining experience”. The fast take away options are delicious.
We are open 7 days for lunch and dinner and hope to welcome you soon.
1992
The Success
Bo arrived from Phuket, Thailand in 1992 to visit her sister in Newcastle and instantly falls in love with Australia. Soon an Australian investor discovered her talent to look after restaurant patrons and offered her a partnership to open the first Aloy Thai restaurant in Darby St., Newcastle. The restaurant became popular overnight and won many industry awards in the following years. The success led to create Aloy Thai franchise restaurants in Terrigal, Nelson Bay and Swansey.
2000
First Japanese Restaurant
In 2000 she opened her first Japanese restaurant in Hunter St., Newcastle. Her Sushi service became a hit and led to be invited to concert catering at Whydam Estate where she met the owners of Tempus Two in the Hunter Valley. They offered her and her investor to open the first and only Asian restaurant in the valley. While contemplating if it should be a Thai or Japanese restaurant they decided to do both to be on the safe side. In order to focus on the new venture they sold all restaurants to family members. Or franchisees.
2005
Family Owned
In 2005 she met Wolfgang Grimm AM and they acquired the business and created a family owned and operated restaurant together with their son Patrick.
We are a family owned and operated restaurant and offer authentic Japanese and Thai cuisine with friendly service and popular prices.

Our Reviews
Great Lunch
“ This is our first time at Oishii restaurant and it won't be our last. We had two wonderful entree's and main meals. With great service, atmosphere and delicious food. We will return to this restaurant. ”
Best Sashimi I've had in a long time!
“ We ordered the sushi and sashimi and it arrived beautifully presented and the quality of the fish was the best I've had in a long time. Very reasonably priced as well. Will be coming back and would recommend this restaurant for a light lunch or dinner. ”
Delicious Japanese
“ Excellent Japanese flavours and dishes in a beautiful setting amongst vines and lights, creates a pleasant atmosphere. ”
Very strong flavours!
“ Satay chicken was very yummy (previously lived in Malaysia). Orange pork crackle and then a very delish Barra. Crispy skin, fish not over cooked. Fast service and beautiful view overlooking the vineyard. ”
