Okami - Bendigo

Great food Prompt service Reasonable pricing Delightful way to dine out

What an awesome experience we had at Okami Bendigo! I can totally recommend it to all that wants an interesting dining experience.

Wow what an amazing time, thanks for the great dining experience Okami!

Delicious food and great service. Highly recommended for a large hungry family.

Food was absolutely amazing, service could’ve definitely been better though

Loved it and the food was excellent and great value for money.

Great meals delivered quickly, really enjoyable night out, thank you very much

We had a great date night dinner with friendly and efficient service.

Fantastic friendly staff, they remember my daughter is gluten free every time and we love the red flags.

It was very clear that all of the staff in the restaurant were too busy to provide a good service.

Great food great service great venue will definitely be back

It started off well but as the restaurant got busier we were left waiting and waiting. Waiters being flagged down and never came to our table. Only to be told “here is the bill, you have been here 2 hours” and we hadn’t been offered dessert. Food was beautiful, just needed more workers.

Based on reviews it seems like this place makes a habit of yelling at their customers. I have witnessed a person on the floor showing people to their table yell at customers and is extremely rude! There was an obvious misunderstanding at which table the group of people were supposed to seat and the customers/group were quick to apologise and move when they realised this. The person continued yelling at the customers even though they have apologised numerous times! I can see the elderly lady (part of the group) was terribly upset. As for the food, it's average to terrible. The food was nothing like those I had at a Melbourne Okami (great quality and tasty). The only good thing about this place were the person taking the order and those that delivered the food. They were professional and polite. I will not be going back to this place nor will I recommend it. The way I see it, Okami Bendigo is not a good representation of Japanese culture and food.

Amazing, beautiful selection of freshly made food, fast service Have been before and will definitely return

Great service enjoyed the food would go again and recommend it to my friends and family.

It was great, the staff was very friendly, the food wait want long at all and we loved every dish we got!

The food was amazing, came out quickly and everything was just so great 😀 thank you

Love it we will be returning in the near future

An extensive menu of delicious food! Cocktails are also very tasty. Attentive and helpful staff.

Delicious food, excellent service, a wee bit too noisy, good variety of dishes but would prefer larger servings with each plate.

Service was quick and the food was awesome, so tasty!!

Great customer service, friendly and prompt with food. Also accommodating for a toddler

Loved all the food, very fast and efficient service! Definitely will be back!

Great food friendly staff, made it great night out with friends.

Great food and service. Tried a few new things and loved it.

Very quick service, food was great. Best visit we've had so far.

Love going there for a meal, it is great place

Unsure as to why all plates that included sauce were very scarce on the sauce included. Spring rolls had enough sauce for 1 out of 6

we all had a good feed with good company serving staff were excellent

Great food, awareness of allergies. Lovely staff. Good to introduce colleagues to shared meals.

Loved every minute of it! They booked it under my daughters name as per instructions left on booking site. They made the entire experience amazing for all of us and we all feel like we really got value for money. Food was amazing, fresh and hot. We will be back as now my kids have decided they love it there too.

Food and service was amazing, live in Doncaster and came to Bendigo for the weekend and would definatley go to Okami again.

We love the service and food great variety to choose from

Took family visiting from New Zealand. They very very impressed by the food, service and host.

Beautiful food, lovely service. Great price for great quality food

Dinner for 2, the food arrived promptly and hot. The waiting staff were always smiling and happy to take orders. Aside from having a mild food allergy reaction the entire experience was lovely .

We loved Okami, service, food and ambience was great. We will definitely be back :D

Both the food and the service were amazing. You couldn't ask for a more satisfying dinning experience. Thank you to all.

Amazing place to eat. Would recommend to anyone. Would go again

We enjoyed our food a lot, and definitely will go back in the near future.

The staff was very nice and friendly. The food was delicious and fresh.

Food was delicious! Service was outstanding! Will absolutely be back!

Okami is hands down The best and friendliest restaurant in bendigo

First time diner’s, certainly won’t be our last. All waiting staff were cheerful, helpful and efficient. Male taking orders was particularly inviting. Large majority of the food was excellent. Some ingredients were supermarket frozen, two serves were a bit oily. Touch pokey, had neighbors butt in our face every time she got up. Had to lean one way to let people next to us out, then lean the other way to let people on the other side out. Understand why, but didn’t like to 2 hour limit. Not about eating more, but I’m a grazer, felt a touch rushed. The occupancy speaks for itself. Credit to you and rightfully earned. Husband was quite against going. He left super impressed and planning our next visit.

Always a very nice place to eat, lovely venue and great food

Staff are lovely as always towards me if I could I would come in every night just to see them!

Leslie and Jack are always so welcoming and nice. Great food and awesome service. Will keep returning

It was kind of busy so I understand how it would be difficult for front of house staff to attend to every table making multiple orders

bad service, long waiting time since staff are very few on a peak hours.

Just won't come on a Saturday again as it was too busy. I had a big family booking to keep happy and found this very stressful. Just not enough food coming out at one time and very little sauces on the plates as well. Staff and owner did their best. I felt sorry for them as it seemed very overwhelming and not their normal routine or service standard. Food was still yummy
