They only had a few items for the Burpple Beyond deal but I think the sets were pretty worth it nevertheless. I got the truffle wagyu don ($40++) and my friends got the unagi Don ($18++). Though there was a strong truffle flavour for the Don, I still felt like the beef wasn’t that amazing. I’ve had the same kind of beef for cheaper price points. The unagi was pretty generous though, which I thought was worthwhile at a $9 price point after Burpple Beyond. So if I were you, I’d skip the beef and go straight for the unagi! It’s pretty damn good.
Service and food are both amazing. The one for one deal is such a steal for such fine food. My husband and i both ordered the squid as appetizer having seen the many ravings about it. It was as many claimed here. Really good!!
I ordered the prawns pasta and my husband had the pork. He wolved it down super fast proving how much he liked it.
The blackforest cake is a must order! Apple tart was fine. We prefer the black forest cake.
Notes: Omote just launched their Menu 2.0 on 17 July 2019.
This menu is part of Omote’s 2.0 menu, under the new contemporary modern donburi, offering 3 variations of don:
1. Salmon Mentai - definitely my favourite part of the dish; the mentai sauce is super creamy while the salmon is torched in aburi style. It was executed well as the aburi salmon is still juicy and not too dry!
2. Cubed Salmon in Spicy Cheese Sauce - the wasabi taste is a bit strong for me. The salmon cubes are cold with crunchy texture.
3. Assortment Chirashi - Omoté’s classic dish which never goes wrong! The chirashi is fresh with generous chunks of salmon, tuna and tako.
