Omi doesn't look that great from the outside due to its location outside a shopping centre, but the food, service and value for money are excellent.

The black truffle ramen was amazing, very good depth of flavour. The wagyu beef rice bowl was delicious too, the Singapore crab sauce complemented this dish very well. The beef was so tender, and the addition of the egg and pickled ginger really completed the dish. The menu is huge, with a wide variety of food options. Very reasonably priced, would absolutely come back.

Truffle edamame had a bit too much of the truffle sauce (was all I could taste that afternoon). Servers were friendly. Rest of the food was great! I'm going to be coming back to try more of the dishes!

Way too overpriced for the quality, size and flavour of food. The Karage Chicken and the chicken katsu were good but everything else was a bit bland. Only real positive was the very nice staff and the speed of service.
