About Okami Japanese Restaurant

Feast on endless made-to-order Japanese small plates brought straight to your table at Mount Waverley’s Okami. Diners value the rapid QR ordering that lets groups cycle through beef carpaccio, crisp sushi and sashimi platters, and simmering table-side sukiyaki without the friction of splitting bills or queuing at steam trays. Floor staff keep the rounds moving quickly, whether you are coordinating a lively milestone birthday or bringing wine under the modest corkage policy. The meal wraps up neatly over warm taiyaki paired with vanilla or matcha ice cream.

  • Table-Ordered Tasting Rounds: Dishes are cooked to order in small tasting portions and served straight to the table rather than pre-buffeted in steam trays.
  • Dedicated Vegan Menu: A pre-printed matrix specifies naturally vegan plates and dishes modified upon request without dining friction.
  • BYO & Concession Pricing: Diners can bring their own wine for a $10 corkage fee alongside discounted rates for kids and seniors.

Why Choose Okami Japanese Restaurant

Why diners choose Okami Mount Waverley for all-you-can-eat Japanese feasts and family gatherings

  • Table-Ordered Continuous Dining

    Dishes are prepared fresh to order and served rapidly in small tasting portions rather than sitting under buffet heat lamps, letting diners repeat and explore dishes throughout their session.

    You order from a QR code at the table. So you can order a few dishes then order more. You can repeat dishes as you like.

  • Effortless Group Gatherings

    The shared tasting format and accommodating dining room easily handle large party bookings, milestone birthdays, and multi-generational celebrations without ordering stress.

    I booked a table for 17pp to celebrate my son’s 18th Birthday and the staff that took my booking, Chin, was extremely helpful and friendly. The service and food was of high quality and it came out super fast.

  • Dedicated Vegan Accommodations

    Plant-based guests can dine with complete confidence using a pre-printed dedicated vegan menu that details naturally vegan dishes and simple kitchen modifications.

    They had a pre-made menu of all the vegan dishes and also which ones could be made vegan upon request, there was no hassle and I did not feel as if I was annoying staff with my dietary requirements.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, ordering, and dietary requests to get the most out of your visit.

  • Arrive Early for Dinner

    Arrive well before evening close; kitchen pack-down can begin from 8:00pm, and walk-in diners risk being turned away by 8:30pm ahead of the 10:00pm scheduled shut.

  • Pace Your Orders via QR Code

    Order sequential rounds of small plates via the table QR code rather than placing everything at once, allowing you to sample broadly and reorder favourites at your own pace.

  • Request the Dedicated Vegan Menu

    Ask front-of-house staff for the dedicated printed vegan menu, which details naturally plant-based choices as well as dishes that the kitchen can modify upon request.
