About Okami Japanese Restaurant

Okami serves an unlimited spread of freshly prepared Japanese plates brought straight to your table for one flat price. Rather than sitting under buffet lamps, dishes are cooked on the spot once ordered through your phone. Locals pack the booths for casual family feasts and birthdays without checking the tab, passing around aburi salmon, beef carpaccio, and crisp chicken skewers. Rounds land briskly across the table—from prawn gyoza and steaming bowls of miso soup right through to warm taiyaki.

  • Cooked-to-order buffet: Dishes are cooked to order via phone app and delivered directly to the table rather than pre-warmed on a buffet line.
  • Set session seatings: Dinner operates across distinct timed seatings, making advance reservations essential for peak evening shifts.
  • Fixed-price feast: An extensive lineup of small plates, sushi platters, and desserts arrives under a single set per-person price.
