Okami Japanese - Ballarat

Yum! Make sure you clarify with staff you want vegan dishes. Do not say oil butter for fried rice and stir fry veg. Updated by previous review on 2021-05-25

Amazingly cheap for both the quality and quantity of food, nice little restaurant and super fast and friendly service, thing to fault at all.

Tonight was Valentines Day and I must say that considering this place had a full house, all the staff were truly excellent in tending to everyone’s needs !<br/ <br/ My partner and I are from Melbourne and we travel all over Australia and around the world,. <br/ <br/ So we definitely know amazing food,service and decor when we see it.<br/ <br/ The decor was excellent because it had a lot of Japanese flair about it, which I truly love as I embrace the Japanese culture whole heartedly.<br/ <br/ So now I get to the part about the food and well...<br/ <br/ <br/ OUTSTANDING !!! <br/ <br/ <br/ Despite the flood of customers, the food came out in a timely manor and the waiters and waitress remained friendly in the rush.<br/ <br/ The flavours of every single dish, truly sent shivers down our spines, smiles on our faces, as we left with full bellies.<br/ <br/ Keep up the amazing work and you now have two ex Melbournians that will now become regulars here.<br/ <br/ Thank you from Glenn and Neil.<br/ <br/ <br/

We have been here a few times and we love it. Thank you for coming to Ballarat (we have been to the Footscray franchise, but we like the Ballarat one better). <br/ <br/ Ambulance of the place is nice (newly decorated)<br/ <br/ Staff are friendly, very attentive, food is great and comes out fast. Staff have a great understanding of Gluten Free for people who have Coeliac Disease. <br/ <br/ Only complaint is could we please have a gluten free desert. I don’t normally eat desert, but there should be one option on the menu for people who want desert and can’t eat gluten.

I’ve been to all you can eat places before where they make the food fresh. It’s usually slow, and one plate at a time. Okami is completely different!!! You order per plate, dishes come out to be the serving size for your table, and it comes out so quickly! I was so impressed! I didn’t stop eating all night till I walked out the door to roll myself home with a full tummy. Would highly recommend!
