The food was amazing and delicious! And wanting to go back couple of weeks

Amazing food and fantastic service, such great value for money!

First time . Greeted, seated , ordering explained. Wine glasses arrived, food arrived , plates cleared, smiling faces all round . Definitely heading back soon

My friend and I were visiting Bendigo for the Mary Quant exhibition and decided to try Okami - another friend had recommended their Wantirna restaurant and loved it. The Bendigo Okami is a stylish restaurant, I liked the decor and the black melamine tableware. It's very popular - we arrived at 7.30pm for the 7.45pm sitting, there was a large group of customers outside waiting to enter. Some tables from the 5.30pm sitting were slow to leave and there was a queue waiting to pay, so everyone outside had to be patient, thank goodness it wasn't raining. I was really impressed by the efficiency of the staff, they were so helpful whilst working under a lot of pressure. Our order was taken fairly quickly, the food came out fairly quickly and we enjoyed what we ate. The dishes aren't very big, so I suggest ordering 4-6 dishes for 2 people to start with. It is no problem ordering extra dishes. The restaurant is a little noisy so may not suit those who have trouble hearing. If you have a good appetite , Okami will be excellent value and you can try lots of different dishes - ideal for anyone not familiar with Japanese cuisine.

Amazing food, great service, will be back for sure! Great

The premise was nice and clean but the service was just ok, waited too long to order

Always yummy, would like a dessert option that isn’t ice cream.

Food was absolutely immaculate, the quality was amazing. We will definitely be back! 10/10 to all staff for running such a busy restaurant so smoothly! Good to finally have some good quality Japanese in bendigo!

The food was great, good job Chef. The waiting staff not so much. We order food by a waitress but was told after waiting some time we hadn't ordered by waiter with tablet. It took a long time to order drinks then get the drinks.

We had the best experience here! The staff are very friendly and efficient. The food is great and it is something quite different for Bendigo!

Great food, excellent atmosphere, delicious range of Japanese cuisine in Bendigo

Food was amazing and came out so quickly! Great Value for money 10/10 would recommend a visit, and there's different foods for everyone!

Service was mediocre Food -mmmmm as expected - sashimi fridge cold as was the carpaccio- obviously not made to order Ice cream was the highlight Been there, done that - will not go again

Food and service was amazing. Will definitely be back. Thanks.

It's amazing and the food is fantastic. Will surely go back again.

Will be back, great night out, delicious food, Thank you!

Great experience- could not fault a single thing and can’t wait to go back

Great layout not overcrowded. Pleasant atmosphere. Will come back again.

Great food fantastic service we really enjoyed our meal. Thanks

After a short initial wait in the transition between sittings the Staff were all lovely. Food arrived quickly and all was delicious...so full...will definitely visit again

Absolutely loved it. Food was fresh and delicious. Staff were lovely. I ate so much I nearly had to roll out the building.

Absolutley amazing food! Super fresh, great customer service. Definitley leave incredibly full and satisfied !

It was good overall! The only real issue was that the sun glares in the front huge windows (during the early sitting) and it affects the front table. Blinds needed please so we can see the food and each other. Lovely service however, thank you

A welcomr addition to Bendigo. Front of house management very good.

We went in a group of four and really loved trying the different meals. The food came out quite quickly. We really enjoyed all of the different flavours

Super friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. Fast and easy. 💫

I waited for five minutes for a maitre de to greet me at the door but once he came it was a wonderful experience. Our table was ready and waiting and the service was very good, Food was delicious but the disappointment came when we were unable to split the bill and I ended up having to pay for everyone in the hope that they will all pay me individually after I itemise their shares and provide them all with my banking details and await their sense of honesty to repay me for the evening. For this reason alone I regret to say that despite the wonderful experience of this restaurant, I shall never return until split bills are allowed. Yours sincerely, Hally Wild

All the food was amazing, staff were brilliant. Great atmosphere

Great food, nice friendly and efficient staff. Give it a go

Great, tasty food. Staff members very friendly and helpful. Restaurant nice and clean

Overall dining experience is good. I will visit it again

A completely enjoyable experience for all. Well worth the visit.

Great food. Great service. Highly recommended! Very enjoyable experience overall.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Would definitely be going back

Tried lots of new food and really enjoyed how friendly the staff are

Very efficient and friendly staff. I hope they are treated well as they would be very very tired each day to provide great service. Superb experience everytime

Whilst the overall experience was excellent and I understand that many staff are new to this restaurant, the processes for service, drinks and taking orders seemed very confusing for them. I hope to come back time and time again to see everyone more settled creating a much calmer dining experience - we felt very rushed because the staff felt very rushed.

Ordered 1 of everything for a table of 4, had a blast and food was amazing and great staff and owners get involved and make the experience

Nice food and lots of it. Great prices, friendly staff

This restaurant is our favourite and we go regularly. The owners are great and you are well looked after!

Second time at Okami. Food was fab. Service great. AND they remembered us. Such a lovely vibe. Clean, fresh and friendly. We are definitely becoming regulars. Thanks Okami- you’re the best! ❤️

Overall, very good. We will be back. One two three.

Overall a nice meal. The food was good, and the 'intent' of the service was friendly and hospitable, however the sheer demands of the staff to accommodate table service of an all you can eat deal meant that despite their good intent, there were times when customers were waiting a fair while for their food or drinks order. Our food was reasonably timely, but we waited 30 mins for some drinks, which meant we didn't have time to drink them before we had to leave. Overall though, good food and good value for money.

absolutely brilliant food and lovely service, however waiting times to be served was not brilliant, knowing you had limited time in the restaurant. I'd recommend a buzzer type alert system for the staff so they can know exactly what tables need serving and when.

Very busy but they do a fantastic job. Food is fresh and delicious. Plenty of value for your money

Enjoyed our food, a great variety to choose from. The service was okay considering how busy the restaurant was.
