Overall I have a really pleasant experience dining at OKONOMI with all of my favorite dishes here. Chocolate and Matcha lover might be fall in love with all of their desserts here because they are the perfect place to fix all your craving. Sushi Rolls is also a must try here at OKONOMI, just have fun customized your own sushi roll with friends too!
D's crazy about Matcha flavour everything. Okonomi's matcha lava cake came out as the top recommendation and I knew this would be the perfect little birthday cake for the birthday man!
Publika has never lacked interesting eatery. So what makes Okonomi stood out amongst the other competing Japanese restaurants in the vicinity of the bustling mall? Okonomi, which translates into 'as you like it' in English, is the first ever Japanese restaurant in KL which allows you to customize your sushi rolls to your own preferences! From bases to toppings, there are 40 different fillings, 16 types of toppings, and 20 homemade sauces for you to choose from! This unique and daring idea has attracted throngs of food adventurers since they first opened about 2 years back. However, Okonomi has since evolved into a restaurant that serves more than just customised sushi rolls. The Okonomi's innovative team is always thriving and pushing their own limits to bring surprises to their patrons! Using urban Japanese cooking methods coupled with modern cuisine ideas and borrowing some ingredients from the western menu, they are finally proud to present you the all new 2017 menu which features some really exciting dishes!
My customised sushi roll - Brown Rice, Soy Wrap, Asparagus, Tuna Belly (Premium Selection), Sweet and Spicy Sauce and Fish Flakes topping. Highly recommended you try their brown rice shusi roll and sweet n spicy sauce, you'll definitely like it.
One thing Okonomi does well is consistency. Like I said, I have dined there before and their food has always been good in terms of consistency in flavors and presentation. A fun and relaxing place for good sushi rolls and some modern Japanese dishes…
The sweet finishing this time around is the Chocolate matcha lava cake (RM 18.90). This rich matcha cake filled with delicious matcha chocolate molten lava, drizzled with powdered sugar and served with vanilla ice cream and matcha chocolate sticks can quite easily take away all the stress for the day.
Verdict: I like the customized-your-own-sushi concept, it allows us to be creative and experimental with their wide variety choices of ingredients and sauces. Other items in the menu that we’ve tried were not too shabby too. The lava cake was really outstanding and this enough for me to make a revisit.
Each and every visit to Okonomi (invite or otherwise) has been a lovely experience. A fun and lip smacking experience. A tad modern some may say, but if the flavours do jive, no one should complain unless they are in search of a purist taste.
