Find matcha, wagyu skewers, sushi tacos and more at a new one-stop Japanese dining hall
Sushi. Gyoza. Fried chicken. Matcha desserts. You can find all the current hits of Japanese food and more at Omi 380, a new all-in-one dining destination on Lonsdale Street inspired by the multipronged dining of Melbourne's own Italian stayer Brunetti. '[They serve] everything from breakfast until supper,' says Omi 380 owner Ven Chin, who also runs a string of fast-casual Omi eateries across Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. 'We thought maybe we could do something similar, but Japanese.' Previous SlideNext Slide Omi 380 is the group's most ambitious venue to date, bringing five distinct offerings together under one roof for a Japanese extravaganza. Want sashimi but your pal is craving yakitori? The market hall set-up lets everyone order what they want yet dine together, with most ordering done via QR code. The space – charcoal-toned with timber accents and decorative Japanese maple trees – seats around 100 people. 'The most troublesome thing when we want to gather with friends is that most restaurants in the city are very packed and very small,' says Chin. 'We're pretty spacious for [our] price point.'
