Okami - Whittlesea

We come here often. Food was great. Lovely guy with glasses serving us. See you again soon

This restaurant is unbelievable, the food was amazing, tasty and well worth the value, service was also fantastic. We will definitely visit again.

Food was discusting cold and hard, staff refused to serve and said to use the qr code and the resteraunt stunk

Great service and food always so pleasing enjoyed it very much

Great staff - amazing service - very nice food - fresh and yummy - we will be back

Waited for more than 30mins before first entree was served. In a table of 4 adults,food portions were not even enough for one adult. Food was sooo lukewarm,food service in- between was a nightmare. Just not a good experience compared to the other Okami patronised in the past. Will not return to Whittlesea. Food taste is 3/5, Service is 1/5.

Amazingly delicious will definitely be coming back soon also great service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food itself is wonderful, can’t fault it. Just the actual ordering was frustrating and slow because they were shortstaffed. Overall it’s a great special treat that’s local.

Very good service and good food. Very quick service and accomodating to all

Okami took this last minute booking for myself and a friend and was very accommodating to us to fit us in

Was disappointed with when we asked to move seats as cooler was under us and they said no as other spots where for 5 ppl. Then when more ppl came in a group of two sat where we could have moved! And lots empty spots the whole time we where there

Always prebook. Love Okami , especially the Whittlesea restaurant! Recommended!!

Fabulous hot quick food, been a few times will definitely be back

Miso soup cold and beef served overcooked. However, serving staff polite.

Waiting too long between dishes. Wait staff nice but not very attentive.

Okami hosted a birthday dinner for a friend and even played the happy birthday song on the speaker and made my friend feel very comfortable and special

another success at Okami for a beautiful dinner, a staff member in particularly was very kind and respectful

Okami catered for a big table and was very kind and respectful whilst taking orders

Okami has become a regular choice of mine to eat out as it is very convenient, good food and value for money is amazing. All staff are always lovely

Experience was good, food was delicious, only downfall was tables being placed so close together

We were the only people in the place the food was very prompt and service was great

food was fast and delicious and staff were very accommodating to dietary requirements

The friendly, helpful and polite staff made us feel very welcome.

Always a great way to share a meal with Family and friends.

Food was lovely and the service was very quick and friendly

We like going to Whittlesea, as it is smaller and more intimate restaurant You can actually have a conversation without shouting at each other. Thank you 😀

There seemed to be a short staff roster. The restaurant was not overly busy, but as customers left, tables were not cleared, in fact our party of six were left with piles of used dishes as each new order arrived. At one stage we counted 7 vacated tables with dishes still uncollected. Staff on duty tried, ut it was obviously too overwhelming.

Understaffed, inefficient, overworked staff. The staff always had a smile though and were always busy working. They were very polite. Just needed more staff.

Some dishes seemed forgotten and long wait. Was this on purpose so we ran out of time to order more food, I’ve never left Okami and still felt like I could eat something else before

Very poor. Our party of 4 regularly frequent Okami restaurants over a number of locations, and this was by far our most negative experience. Having worked in retail and hospitality, we are probably more patient and understanding than most when it comes to wait times etc but no effort for communication was made to let us know about kitchen delays, instead we were left to wait ridiculous times for tiny portions that were delivered to the table one plate at a time. Other tables with less people were being served the same amount of food (if not more) than we were and it wasn't until we were served a chicken katsu with literally one mouthful of food for each member of the table that we asked to speak to a manager. It took for us to complain for the portion sizes to become reasonable for a table of 4 to share and for numerous plates of food to be delivered at once. Credit to Joan for coming to our table and rectifying the situation, but by that point we were almost ready to walk out. If tonight was my first Okami experience, I would never be returning.

Great food and service, will definitely b back for sure

Staff were fantastic. Hard working, efficient and friendly. Food was delicious.

Awesome food . Service was good. Looking forward to visiting again

Ive never tried sake before so it was a treat, food came out at the right pace, the mocktail was a lovely finish to the night, food was cooked very well, as a generally vegan person there was lots of options

There were not enough floor staff to service the customers, we couldn't get any service following our initial order. We waited for at least 20 minutes and ended up having to approach staff at the counter for our second round of orders. The food portion servings were also not enough for 7 people, they were enough for two. Really disappointed with the experience. The food was good, and the standard we have come to know. But the experience means we won't return to Okami Whittlesea.

Had a great evening, our first time, service,food great recommend

A night out with family. We were well looked after and went home very full.

Amazing as always! Staff are always so nice and accommodating

Great good value for money and a great place to celebrate

Fantastic service, amazing food. Will definitely be going back again

Waiting staff excellent, some meals very slow to get to the table. But food excellent

Very straight forward all you can eat place. consistent food.

Excellent service and food great location Amazing food selection to indulge in

The wait staff were friendly and helpful. The food was all delicious and well presented and cooked to perfection. It would be good if they checked on us a bit more frequently to see if we needed water / drinks / more food.

Everything was good, great first experience. I do wish that we could at least have 1 drink (not water) included in the price, and other drinks after at extra cost.

The staff we’re really attentive to our needs and they were quiet busy as well. The food was delicious, will go back again

Great food- service . Food sometimes was a little too long too arrive but that’s as they were so busy….

Every dish was amazing and delicious. Service was awesome very helpful and happy staff.

Visit was Birthday celebration great time had by all family.

Great service & food Easy to book too Highly recommended
