Omoté

Second time coming to this restaurant for the huge chirashi don it is known for after close to two years. I had the Salmon Booster Chirashi, which arrived piled high with generous, thick-cut pieces of salmon. The fish was incredibly fresh, and a subtle touch of wasabi provided a delightful, flavorful punch. The rice was somewhat underwhelming though as a bit too wet. Overall this is as close to the Otaru seafood donburi with its generous amount of seafood such as sea urchin, salmon egg, crab meat.

Heard so much about this place, we tried it for dinner. Quite a wide selection of modern Japanese fusion items were offered on the menu. We ordered their signature salmon chirashi bowl, Tokyo Gyudon(pork) and truffle Chawanmushi. The food quality is good, and portions are quite generous, considering their higher price range. The only comment we have is that the truffle sauce in the Chawanmushi was a tad overpowering for us. Service was fast, but service team was quite non-chalant. That said, we will definitely be back to try the other dishes.

The food here is of good quality for this price range. The quantity of food served was sufficient and we felt very full after the meal. We would have liked it more if the dipping sauce for chirashi bowl did not contain wasabi as we personally do not prefer the taste of wasabi/horseradish. The udon was quite mild at first, then it was really spicy as you continue eating it. The size of the superstar lobster roll was really small so we felt a little surprised by that. I recommend making a reservation first especially during the weekends.

Wallet-friendly Japanese food with high quality ingredients! As soon as dad saw the chirashi bowl on the neighbouring table, he knew it wanted to order that. And with an additional $8.80, it became a premium lunch set with so many sides. Such a good deal! We also got Hamachi Ceviche ($16.80) to share. The Peruvian inspired sauce was appetising. Peckish mum had a Nori Tapas, while I ordered Dry Spicy Maze Udon ($19.80). It didn’t look like it would be spicy for all the tiny red chilli spices made me drink lots of water.

Came away satisfied after dinner at Omote @ Thomson Plaza. The ordering system was fast and efficient via QR code scanning — pretty much the norm at many restaurants nowadays. The chirashi bowl was excellent and felt like great value for money. The sushi rolls were enjoyable too, and the udon paired with a large shrimp tempura was satisfying. Overall, it was a pleasant dining environment. Prices are slightly on the higher side, but still acceptable considering the food quality and overall experience.

I really appreciated the thoughtful service today. While bottled water is chargeable, when I requested some water for my 9-year-old, the staff recognised that it didn’t make sense to buy a whole bottle since he had already had plenty of soup. They kindly offered a complimentary cup of water instead of rigidly following the rules. That flexibility and customer-first approach made a real difference, and it’s something I truly appreciate. Thank you!

Wow! The seafood is really fresh. I had the lobster bowl and it was so delicious, i think the fish were all really succulent and juicy. Will definitely come back! Note that for lunch you can top for the set as i did. The dumpling w the mentaiko sauce was my fave from the set

Jap with a slight twist. Am glad they are able to take in big groups. Food quality is good, as expected but I found the price point a little high. Fair portions, the grilled kurobuta was my fav but be sure to have a group big enough to share as i find it abit cloying after 5 pieces.
