I've been hearing my friends rant about the delectable sushis & sashimis and the tongue-asms they've had in this Japanese resto quite new to me and my sister, until finally, I saw a newly-opened branch in Greenhills. The first few branches of Omakase were located in areas we rarely visit, hence the unfamiliarity.
Often times, my friends would recommend it to me when we talk about Japanese cuisine, and so a few weeks ago, my sister and I went just so see (& taste) what the buzz was all about.
To my surprise, the main entrance on the ground floor greeted us with a lounge. I was puzzled, until the waiter led us up the stairs into the second floor of the restaurant which was the actual dining area. I was quite impressed that they provided such a swanky waiting area for their customers, so I assumed this place must be packed most of the time.
When we were finally seated, we ordered their best-selling fresh salmon sashimi, Rock 'n Roll (which IS a roll), Spider roll (soft-shell crab roll) Gyudon, Chicken Teppan, Moyashi Itame (it's like the Japanese version of ginisang toge) and apple shake.
Salmon sashimi
Stacy, too preoccupied with eating! :B
Gyudon
NOMNOMNOMNOM
Happy and filled! :)
We got really engrossed in eating all the delicious food that we ordered. Everything tasted GREAT! The food was definitely worth its price though it may be a bit costly for students like us who live on a fixed weekly allowance (that's why we went there with our mom to pay the check :P Thanks mom!). What instantly became our favorites are the salmon sashimi because it was undeniably super fresh and the refreshing apple shake that had the perfect amount of sweetness. And I won't forget to mention their service which was excellent too! Food came on time, and there were waiters waiting (uh, duh) around our area, always available when needed (I kept bugging them to refill our teapot! We're freaks for barley tea!). The waiter that served our table was really friendly and he had a very endearing smile. :) It's always a plus when servers are polite and friendly. Gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. :>
After our first dining experience in Omakase, we really got hooked, so every time our family ate out a few weeks after, we automatically headed to Omakase for a filling and scrumptious Japanese meal! :)
We turnin' Japanese-ah! YATTA!
OMAKASE is definitely included on our list of favorite restos from now on! :)
Plump love,
