Another food review post =)
The name "OKONOMI" comes from the same Japanese word meaning "as you like it".
What’s your roll?
That is Okonomi's tagline, Okonomi in Publika which is also the first and only DIY sushi restaurant in Malaysia now. Okonomi strived to create something different by giving more options to serve mainly Japanese fusion menu highlighting the customised Maki rolls. Indulge in patrons their own creativity to find a sushi roll that's just right for them, patrons can make their very own Maki roll according to their liking from a choice of 40 different fillings, 20 different sauces and dressings, and 16 different toppings. Even if you failed to make up your mind, Okonomi also offers house rolls created by the chef.
Okonomi is a hidden gem in Publika, situated at the street beside of the busy shopping mall that you might not come across, located same row with Red Bean Bag, you might miss this restaurant if you are not familiar with Publika area.
It is not a big restaurant, welcoming ambiance with light and minimalistic interior, a transparency kitchen right at the entrance, where you can watch the cooking process by chefs.
Customizing your own roll can be done in three simple steps:
1. Choose
- the size of roll
- sushi base (white or brown rice)
- wrapping of seaweed (nori) or a soy wrap
- type of roll maki or uramaki
2. Select your choice ingredients with over 40 different fillings included fruits, vegetables, seafood and meat
Honestly some of the ingredient is surprised me, such as strawberries, Hokkaido Lobster, smoked duck, cherry tomatoes, chilli padi and boiled eggs, i was curious on what kind of these combination taste like?
3. Choose form 20 homemade sauces and 16 toppings to complete your roll.
It might take some time to decide all of these choices (that is too many ingredients to choose!!!), but it was fun and patrons have their freedom to choose what they felt like to eat on that day, the combination of sushi roll is limited by your creativity.
Other than the Maki rolls, Okonomi is a Japanese restaurant that offers Omakase sushi roll by you. Just the sound of it is good enough to excites for those who surprise.You can also opt for salads, rice, and pasta at Okonomi. Okonomi guarantees you a gastronomic dining experience, continue to wow your palettes with a new range of mouth-watering menu.
