OMI offers different types of bowls ranging from their famous Wagyu beef, soft shell crab and even more. They offer a lot of different sauces and their salted egg sauce is a definite must try. The portion of Wagyu in the Ultimate Wagyu bowl was lacking value for the price vs amount of meat. Despite this, the soft shell crab bowl was extremely good value.Their crêpe cakes of the day however are absolutely divine and a great way to finish the meal.

I got the teriyaki salmon and my husband got the curry karrage chicken. We also got spicy mayo fries. Everything was delicious and great flavours. Definitely recommend for a quick meal.

Even among so many high quality vendors Omi stands out with their signature hand torched dishes that you can watch from behind the glass counter. <br/ <br/ We came to try some of their new winter sauces and were blown away by how delicious everything was! We tried the wagyu don (large) with black pepper sauce, chicken karaage with wasabi mayo, fries with spicy mayo, yuzu creme brûlée and green tea crepe cake. The wagyu with soft boiled egg was amazing and really good value for the quality and size, I would definitely get this again! The black pepper sauce really packed a punch and was very heavy on the pepper which I liked, but could be overpowering for some. The karaage was perfectly crunchy and the wasabi mayo was probably my favourite sauce overall. Both desserts were amazing and I was pleasantly surprised when the brûlée had a clear and crisp ‘crack’. Loved that the crepe cake came with sauce and it was so lovely and light in texture.<br/ <br/ Definitely recommend Omi for an A+ foodcourt dining experience!
