Had a lovely Mothers Day Lunch Food was amazing and service
Our new favourite family restaurant. We will be back! :)
Great yummy food and friendly staff. Fast service when ordering dishes.
Great service. Tasty food. A lovely Mother’s Day. Thank you
This was our first visit here after many people recommending it to us. We were impressed with the food but very very disappointed with the service. I understand it was busy but that it no excuse for us to have to wait 45 minutes for a drink (after we had to check on this twice), to have to ask 3 times for a certain food dish, to have to try and get a waiters attention to clear empty dishes from our table as they were running past and even to get a fork for a few of us on the table took 10 minutes and then one of us having to go up and try and get them. We felt like we were an inconvenience to be there. There were 9 or us for family dinner and i would have expected to be treated with more respect than us have to try and get the waiters and never have them approach our table. Really disappointed with the service very different to the experience i thought we would have had.
Excellent restaurant with great food ( also vegan and vegetarian friendly). Quick service even in busy times by efficient and friendly staff. Set price menu however with unlimited servings of anything on the menu ( Very good variety available to suit all palates ). Highly recommended.
Great experience...had a good time. Will definitely go back soon!!!!
Very good service food very nice nice place for family
Overall very nice food and atmosphere. Intial service was good how ever got a little slow as the night went on . Would revisit again
great food quick service we ordered a couple of things that never arrived.. drinks took a long time and had to ask again for them. but overall I would definitely return
Food was perfection, everything was delicious. Service was good. We’ll be back!
Good variety of food selection, friendly staff, good portion sizes and clean venue. Food flavour and texture was great. A little slow on service at times and multiple staff asking if we are ready to order within a minute of each other. Menu is entree heavy in regards to Japanese finger food. Bowls were removed from the table but not returned with clean ones and an assumptions of chopstick use as had to ask for cutlery. Great place and would definately return overall.
The food was freshly cooked to order and was delicious. Friendly staff and service.
Fantastic as always. Great service, beautiful fresh food and staff Are always so friendly
This is the 4th Okami restaurant I have dined at and I can confidently say that it is my favourite. Could not fault the food or the service, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. My only issue was that we ordered 2x Miso Soups and they never came, but we ate so much other food that it wasn't a big deal.
Wonderful food great family atmosphere will come back again soon
Always great food and service at Okamis. Ballarat restaurant has plenty of seating well spaced apart. Definitely will return for another enjoyable night there.
The waiters are so nice and helpful and an overall good atmosphere
I would have appreciate to have the dishes ordered come all together. E.g: plain steam rice with the chicken dish and not by itself and later the chicken. Or miso soup being serve first and not after the salads.
Great food and service. Will come back again for sure
Had a wonderful time. The restaurant could have been warmer
Amazing food. Great value for money. Great service and nice atmosphere.
The food was great! Would come back again for sure.
Great food and awesome service but large loud table setup near the back made it hard to hear anything.
Excellent food and good variety, i will definatly go back
We drove up from Melbourne just to try the restaurant! The food was amazing. It was a bit noisy but the noise level dropped down throughout the night. The wait staff were hard to get their attention, they didn’t seem to make eye contact with the diners. Other than that it was a great night! Will definitely be back!
Beautiful tasty food as usual. Will go again soon. love it.
Service was great. The food was absolutely amazing. There was such a great variety
Excellent service, amazing food, value for money. Will definitely be back!
Our favourite place! Food is always fresh and served hot. Staff and lovely and very attentive. Highly recommend. Great atmosphere
The only thing was I booked online and they didnt have our reservation. Lucky they weren't full.
Great food. Friendly service. Was busy but didn’t have to wait long for food.
Fantastic overall experience. Great food, great service and amazingly priced.
A little confusing with regards to portion sizes of food. However, would definitely go back to this restaurant.
Loved it... definitely value for money and the food was great!
Great Food, big range for all you can eat menu, easy to book. service good
The food was fantastic and it just kept coming! YUM!
Excellent food. We usually go to Okami Caulfield and while at Ballarat decided to go to Okami Ballarat. We were not disappointed! Service is good, waitresses were quick and attentive. Food is definitely delicious.
All good , staff and food were great , thanks
Awesome fresh food. Great value for money. Nice staff. No waiting for food it just keeps coming out. Highly recommend if you like Japanese. Best in Ballarat
Great food and service for a great price the buffect concept was great and keeping hygeine number one having the food cooked to order and brought to your table. Perfect for the Valentine's date
Good and quick services, great food but limited (not many to choose from), friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended for an evening out. However, the price is a bit too dear I reckon.
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 ! My partner and I are from Melbourne and we travel all over Australia and around the world,. So we definitely know amazing food,service and decor when we see it. 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. So now I get to the part about the food and well... OUTSTANDING !!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 Despite the flood of customers, the food came out in a timely manor and the waiters and waitress remained friendly in the rush. The flavours of every single dish, truly sent shivers down our spines, smiles on our faces, as we left with full bellies. Keep up the amazing work and you now have two ex Melbournians that will now become regulars here. Thank you from Glenn and Neil.
Service was terrific and the food was great. We were greeted with smiles on arrival and the meal was brought out very quickly. the staff took their time to explain the options of dining and the types of food available
We love going to Okami, the service is always great and the food is freshly cooked and delicious! You can order as much as you want. We would highly recommend this restaurant.
Amazing and filling food. Wanted to keep ordering but was so full. The all you can eat is most defently worth it. When there for the first time tonight With my partner for our anniversary, and we will be going back for sure.
Our favourite restaurant that we visit for family dinner once a fortnight. Staff are always lovely and helpful, and the food is always fresh and amazing. This place never disappoints
Delicious food. Quick and friendly service. Price was reasonable for all you could eat. My daughter and I will be back, no doubt about that.
