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.

Food was outstanding service however unless you caught their eye or spoke to the staff as they passed you, you would be waiting a while. Considering we were on the early sitting surely the priority is feed these people so we can get ready for round two!

Delicious food but service was poor. Hard to get anyone’s attention, they all appeared to be roaming around doing little. Appeared to lack supervision and direction as were attending to jobs not service.

Great value. Decent Food. OK service. The selection of entrees was fantastic, not so much with the mains and deserts. Some staff were great, others not so much. Intermittent service. Sometimes they wouldn't leave you alone, sometime we waited for too long for service.

My second time at Okami Ballarat. Service was mostly good, two of the staff found it a little hard to understand orders and a couple of the items we ordered didnt arrive. Food was great, though the tempura was a little oily, perhaps the cooking tempature needs to be slightly increased. All round still a nice place to enjoy some Japanese. Always worth a visit :)

The table we sat on was unbalanced and when the waiter brought water to the table it spilt over my father in-law. This happened twice through the night and then later a different waitress brought miso soup to the table and spilt this over another guest. We had to call the wait staff over several times to get served and to take plates away. The food was okay but the flavours were very different from a true authentic Japanese experience- the tonkotsu sauce was quite salty, the takoyaki had very little octopus in it and was quite overcooked on the outside and the spicy miso salmon was more a sauce than miso, as a few examples. For value, the price was quite reasonable overall and my Chinese guests seemed to be very happy with the food despite this being, in my view, a very western style Japanese experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Okami. The staff were excellent and friendly and the food was amazing. We could not fault any of the dishes and our whole table of 12 were impressed and enjoyed the experience. The food was freshly cooked and we ate as much as we wanted, just asking for more dishes as we went. It was an excellent night and we'll be back. (the only negative was that the restaurant is quite noisy but it was very full as well so to be expected I guess). Thankyou Okami, it was great!
