OMI

Discover the taste of wagyu at OMI, the home of premium wagyu rice bowls. As a testament to their commitment to quality and giving their customers the best, OMI was awarded the Best Japanese Restaurant Award in December 2020. To maintain a consistently high quality, they source their wagyu from the finest local suppliers in Victoria and Tasmania. Meticulous in their methodology, cattle are raised to carry the ‘soft’ gene that is traditionally prized for its low melting point and buttery feel. With a range of flavour combinations curated by the OMI team for you, you’re invited to experience the taste of wagyu at OMI.

Son in Law

Son in Law is larger and more casual, to entice a younger crowd. To this end the space, which previously housed the Middle Eastern restaurant Bayte, was given a very light update with the help of BrandWorks and now pops with fluoro stools and dado walls.

But really it’s the menu that appeals to the new school. On the front page there’s a highlights section that carries over the most popular dishes from Ayatana’s ultra-modern menu. It includes fish pattie sliders with kewpie mayo; a texture-rich tamarind salad; and beef tacos.
