About Okami Japanese Restaurant

Score endless rounds of freshly prepared Japanese fare—crisp chicken karaage, sushi platters, and beef carpaccio—served fast to your table for a set price. Niddrie regulars know the drill: book ahead for the structured two-hour sitting, bring a serious appetite, and order in steady waves via QR code. Plates arrive within minutes, from steaming agedashi tofu to crunchy prawn tempura. Just order with intent, as the kitchen levies a modest surcharge on leftover plates over 200 grams. Cap the feed with fish-shaped green tea taiyaki and scoops of black sesame ice cream.

  • Two-Hour Feast Sittings: Unlimited table-ordered sushi, sashimi, and hot staples served during allocated two-hour dinner sittings for a fixed per-person price.
  • Rapid Table Service: QR-code orders land on the table within minutes, keeping plates coming without lag.
  • Mindful Ordering Policy: A clear waste surcharge on excess uneaten food keeps portion orders intentional.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the all-you-can-eat ordering and session work?

Okami serves an all-you-can-eat Japanese banquet delivered in rounds directly to your table, typically during 2-hour dining sessions. Dishes can be ordered in multiple waves through QR code or waitstaff, but you should pace your orders to avoid waste, as surcharges apply for uneaten food (from 200g or more).

Should you book a table in advance?

Booking in advance is strongly recommended, as the restaurant gets very busy and walk-ins can face long queue waits. You can reserve a table ahead of time for their scheduled dinner or lunch sittings.

Is parking easy to find near the restaurant?

Street parking in the area can be quite difficult to find, though both free parking lot and free street parking options exist nearby. Planning extra time to park is advisable when visiting during peak busy periods.

Can dietary restrictions and allergies be accommodated?

Yes, staff can accommodate severe dietary requirements and food allergies, such as preparing orders separately for sesame allergies, and can adapt dishes or prepare special items like vegan fried rice upon request.
