About Okami Japanese Restaurant

Feast on made-to-order Japanese dishes cooked fresh in continuous rounds at a fixed price. Forget tepid buffet trays under heat lamps—Chelsea Heights regulars bypass the self-serve model entirely, sending rounds of sliced sashimi, potato croquettes, and sizzling yakiniku straight from kitchen pans to table runners. Diners fire off fresh batches via table phone ordering, keeping crisp chicken katsu curry and agedashi tofu arriving hot without a single pause in the rhythm. Tables usually round out the feast with scoops of bitter-sweet matcha and black sesame ice cream.

  • Made-to-order dining: Dishes are prepared fresh in kitchen rounds upon ordering rather than sitting under heat lamps.
  • Digital table ordering: Scan and submit dish orders straight from your phone at the table for fast replenishment.
  • Crowd-friendly variety: A broad lineup spanning sushi, agedashi tofu, chicken katsu, and vegetarian spring rolls suits big tables.

Why Dine at Okami Japanese Restaurant

Why locals and groups choose Okami Chelsea Heights for their Japanese feasts

  • Freshly Cooked to Order All-You-Can-Eat

    Unlike traditional self-serve buffets where food sits under warmers, Okami prepares rounds of Japanese dishes fresh on demand.

    The advantage of this was that the food was freshly prepared with each order which is important with Japanese food.

  • Seamless Contactless Table Ordering

    Tables can order successive rounds directly via their phones using digital table codes, speeding up service and reducing wait times.

    I love How they have the barcode and we can order straight from our phone and especially at busy times it takes a lot of pressure off staff trying to take orders.

  • Effortless Group and Family Dining

    Large birthday groups and families can feast together smoothly without dishes getting lost or delayed.

    All items arrived, nothing went missing. Our family of 7 could all eat together due to quick service.

  • Carefree and Indulgent Dining Nights

    Diners enjoy an extensive tasting feast with fast pacing and great value, free from the worry of rising per-dish tabs.

    food arrived with very minimal wait time regardless of what we ordered and it was delicious! Washed down with a few cold beers it really made for a great night out.

Before you head over

Practical guidance to help you navigate bookings, ordering rounds, and menu options at Okami Japanese Restaurant.

  • Book your table in advance

    The dining room gets very busy during lunch and dinner sessions, especially for birthdays and larger family groups, so advance online reservations are strongly recommended to secure your table.

  • Pace your orders in fresh rounds

    Rather than ordering a huge spread all at once, order dishes in smaller repeated rounds via table barcode or your server so every item arrives hot and freshly prepared.

  • Explore vegetarian and vegan options

    Groups and plant-based diners can easily share meals across the menu, with dedicated vegetarian and vegan items like agedashi tofu, edamame, and vegetable dumplings available.
