OMI source their wagyu from the finest local suppliers throughout Australia, where only cattle with the ‘soft’ gene that is traditionally prized for its low melting point and buttery feel are selected…. These cattle are raised on a unique all-natural grain diet, and are free of antibiotics and hormones.

My daughter and I were over at their newest restaurant at The Exchange TRX… the restaurant was of course minimalist but stylish like most Japanese restaurants are….

For appetizers, my daughter ordered some truffle mayo fries – the dish is as mentioned, you get a bowl of shoestring fries with truffle mayo sauce which are really heavenly to taste…

I ordered their signature Beef Tataki -where
marinated & lightly seared beef fillet came served on a bed of salad accompanied with a citrus- soy dipping sauce!!! Delectable!!!

For mains, my daughter being a meat lover went for the Ultimate Wagyu with Black Truffle. The portion was certainly generous with ample toppings of wagyu meat slices, onsen egg, edamame, pickles and a squeeze of truffle paste all on the naturally sweet Koshihikari Japanese short grain rice known for its aroma, firmness and creating an ideal base to your choice of protein. My daughter could not stop eating it and said that she loved it!!! The wagyu meat is of course soft, and melts in your mouth!!!

For me, I am more of a seafood lover, so I ordered the Aburi Salmon Rice Bowl with Mentaiko…. And it was indeed a gastronomic masterpiece was exceptional in every way

My main dish came with a generous large slab of salmon cooked to a medium-rare perfection, juicy and not dry. The salmon flakes away pretty easily and you taste a pretty mild salmon-flavour with some flame-grill flavour. The mentaiko sauce which has been created by marinating pollock roe in sake, konbu and yuzu, results in flavourful roe, tiny in size and red in colour and when smothered over my salmon-ensures a flavourful and tender experience with each and every bite. The balance of textures and flavors in the Aburi Salmon Rice Bowl with Mentaiko dish was really divine!!!!

For dessert, I ordered their Houjicha Crème Brulee l, which came smooth, creamy, not too sweet, with obviously brulee’d on the spot, so it gave off a satisfying crack, even with a wooden spoon….

My daughter ordered the OMI Crepe Cake – Uji Matcha which came with some matcha sauce… and it was really satisfyingly good too….

We finished our meal with Iced strawberry matcha latte for me, which was really delicious and some fizzy Pear Pazzion mocktail for her….

Overall, it was such a satisfyingly good experience and which is highly recommended to all of you who knows how to enjoy a good satisfying meal!!! And it is also pretty reasonably priced for a premium kind of meal!!!!
