OKAMI - Brunswick

Melbourne is full to the brim with incredible restaurants… and full to the brim is exactly what you’ll be after paying a visit to OKAMI. With several locations peppered throughout the city, its Brunswick restaurant is fast-becoming the go-to spot for exceptional Japanese dining. Its all-you-can-eat menu is generous, fresh and tasty and you’ll find a plethora of Japanese dishes ready for you to get around, or opt for the a la carte selection. Not only that, the team at this Moreland Road spot are environmentally conscious, with a simple concept: eat as much as you can in your allotted time, but don’t waste.

When a buzzing restaurant such as OKAMI is so forward thinking when it comes to waste, well, in Melbourne that goes a long way. These Japanese specialists are hard-nosed in all the right ways when it comes to food waste, and if you opt for its all-you-can-eat buffet, what you don’t eat, will incur an extra fee. War on waste? Yes please! With seven locations around Melbourne, one of their most popular spaces is in the foodie haven of Brunswick along Moreland Road, off Sydney Road.

On the menu at OKAMI Brunswick, you’ll find delicious starters like agedashi tofu served with fish broth and bonito flakes and chawan mushi of steamed savoury egg custard with chicken and soybeans. For the main, we love the diced steak served in a refreshing miso sauce. Also lovely is the seafood tempura or even the udon noodle soup with fish cakes, sliced chicken and vegetables in a Japanese miso soup. Whatever you go for, OKAMI is one of Melbourne’s premier dining spots, and we think you’ll be in foodie heaven here.
