Food was alright but servers weren't the best. Still a good deal if you go for the $32.80 all you can eat meal. Not sure if it was a busy night (it's always booked out) but we just felt like the staff weren't particularly attentive.

Great quality, fair prices. Initial order too a while to come out, however it was busy and that is to be expected. However, staff was efficient in clearing plates from table.

Okami was a lovely place for me to celebrate an early birthday with my brother. We ordered from the all you can eat menu. I think we tried 3/4 of the meals offered and walked away fairly satisfied. The way the food is delivered it is like you have ordered a banquet. For $30 it is good value and I can also recommend the plum wine. It was a busy night so I'm glad that we booked ahead. They only had 2 wait staff on that were run off their feet. Food comes out a little slow so order as much as you can at the start and then top up with a second order. Do try the Miso Beef, Beef carpaccio, and the sushi.

fantastic food, great price, very polite staff and extremely helpful. however they are worked off their feet. it took them 15 to 20 mins to get to our table but only because they were very busy. other than that, the experience was great. i recommend it to all my friends. as the restaurant is busy it got a little loud at times. need more room in the restaurant and more tables and chairs.

Service was great, food was good, and you can keep ordering - once you figure out the quantities, it’s much easier. The restaurant was quite noisy for a Friday night.

Modern decor. Very busy even thought I booked later in the evening probably because it was still school holidays. Wonderful service, waiters and waitress were very friendly and inviting. Food was amazing, very limited but not fussed as I know an all-you-can-eat is usually like that. Book 3 people with drinks cost us less than $100. Definitely recommending for my friends and relative to give a try if they haven’t tried yet. They also have different locations which is good. Overall, very impressed and definitely go back to it next time.

Very disappointed with our recent experience at Brunswick which I found out was caused by the absence of a head chef and a skeleton kitchen staff. Everybody waited a long time for food to be served which came in dribbles so that we were virtually eating eating 1 dish at a time. Not likely to be returning anytime soon.

The service at Okami in Brunswick was appalling, but the food was good when we eventually ordered and got it. Staff forgot we were there, we struggled to wave them down so we could just place our table orders. They consistently kept forgetting to serve us our food, where we had to ask for it three times and the while food was consistently being served to the bigger groups. Don't go on a Saturday night, it's too busy and you cannot have a descent conversation.

We come to Okami regularly. The food was great as usual. The only downside is that staff could be a bit more attentive but it's a pretty busy place so they do well when taking that into account. Otherwise it's always great overall.

We had a wonderful meal at Okami, the food was delicious. My only disappointment was the service was a bit slow coming to our table. I do realise that the restaurant was full but trying to track the attention of staff, we were ignored.

Food Great and helpful service. Had the "all you can eat " menu" -outstanding!!! Big noisy barn, noisy and detest 2 sittings, we were rushed out as second sitting poured in. Will go again, but 2 sittings makes me look for alternatives, and there are a few in Brunswick.

Great value, great tasting food, and quick service. Friendly staff. Food is always fresh and tasty. Early sitting feels too rushed. Better to go to second sitting where you have more time. Maybe the shorter first sitting should be a different price than the second longer sitting.

Food is great, comes out in intervals and at reasonable times considering how busy they are. Venue acoustics means that it gets loud and echoey, difficult to hear somebody sitting opposite you.
