Really? [oi=good?] [-no = adjective?] [Doshite? "?"]
Wakarimasen. Sumimasen.
While eating at Kisaku today, I bragged to my companion
that I had just heard one of the sushi experts say "sumimasen,"
which I knew to mean, "I am sorry," and "samui" for "cold."
Anyway, to repeat the announcement of the newly opened Kisaku,
enjoy?

"Oishii-na-no" is not quite right. We do not need the "na", so it would be
"oishii-no?". At any rate, "oishii" means "delicious/tasty", and the "no" at
the end has a nuance of indicating asking for explanation of opinion or more
information. You don't need the "no" for it to be a question, though.
"Doushite" means "why", which sounds a little bit odd to me. Sounds like
someone is asking "why does it taste good?"

Hey, all I wanted was for him to tell me why he was recommending the
restaurant -- what dishes were good, etc. Little did I know it was being
crossposted to scj, slj, and other places where people actually can *speak*
Japanese, as opposed to fumble through it!

useful information spews forth from some, for the most part many in
here try to One Up each other on perceived knowledge.
I for one just like sushi and all that goes with it, I don't need
grammatical corrections, instructions on the proper way to do this or
that, or lectured on why one set of ingredients is superior to others.
I would venture to say a great number of folks feel the same way.
Trust me, anything you ask or observe is going to be picked apart by
the "experts" here, so I say, thanks for the recommendation. Enjoy
eating sushi, and don't let the turkeys get you down, if you have what
you think is a good post or question, lets hear from you, you can
easily filter out the useless folks, I'll let you decide who they are.

I don't think that most here try to One Up each other. Many like to correct
misinformation, pick on faulty logic, and talk about sushi in general.

For those who speak Japanese fluently, not me, seeing grammatical errors
demands a reply. If you can't talk a little correction here or there, don't
try to speak the language.. like me.

Meh. Just talk about sushi, and you'll be alright.

Yes. Correcting misinformation can be found in just about any
newsgroup. I think it's among the biggest values of a newsgroup.
I know I always hate to have to be corrected when I'm wrong about
something, but at the same time I'm much happier to be corrected
than to go on believing something that's wrong.
