OKAMI - Wantirna

When the craving for fresh sashimi, sushi or noodles comes along, for Melbourne folk that generally means one thing – a visit to OKAMI. With several locations in the city, OKAMI offers a generous (and delicious) all-you-can-eat menu brimming with traditional Japanese fare that’s delicate and fresh and will certainly have you coming back, time and time again. Their Wantirna South space along Mountain Highway, is chic and stylish and is the ideal location for a cosy meal for two, or for a special occasion with friends or family. One thing though – and we love this – OKAMI takes care in minimising as much waste as possible, so they kindly encourage you to eat as much as you like, but to not waste. And we think that’s a pretty sweet deal.

Located in the east of Melbourne in Wantirna South, OKAMI has a plethora of delicious, fresh dishes on offer that have been delighting foodies from all over the city. With a refreshing all-you-can-eat menu, you’ll find delicious Japanese sushi platters, sashimi, nigiri, karaage and miso-flavoured meats on offer here that will satisfy even the most discerning diners among you. Located on Mountain Highway, right by the intersection of Boronia Road, OKAMI is the perfect choice for catching up with friends for a special evening enjoying good company and even better Japanese cuisine.

Now, we we’ve spoken about their policy on waste, but don’t let that stop you from ordering up a storm. OKAMI in Wantirna has a menu to rival any spots in Melbourne’s centre, and we recommend starting with a palate-cleansing miso soup, before sampling dishes like agedashi tofu, vegetable gyozas, octopus balls and beef carpaccio to begin. Before a heartier main of teriyaki steak, seafood tempura or ika spicy miso yaki – a delectable grilled squid. Of course dessert is a must if you can, and their black sesame or green tea ice creams really round off the evening perfectly. So do yourself a favour and reserve a spot at OKAMI, you won’t be disappointed.
