Ooma introduces new flavors
Ooma’s reopening brings even more to savor—introducing exciting new additions to their beloved menu! These fresh creations are sure to thrill both loyal fans and newcomers, offering bold, inventive twists on classic Japanese flavors.
A highlight of the new menu is their delectable handrolls, perfect for anyone looking to spice up their visit. Choose from the Chili Crab, Scallop & Tamago, Spicy Tuna, or Spicy Salmon—each wrapped in crisp nori. These handheld bites are a must-try on your first visit back since Ooma’s reopening!
Ooma’s Head On Ebi Tempura (P485) is a true fiesta for the palate! It delivers the perfect crunch with succulent shrimp (ebi) coated in aonori and served with a medley of flavors, including tempura sauce, rich aligue mayo, and a zesty herb aioli.
Ooma’s Bara Chirashi Don (P655) is like a Japanese festival in every bite, featuring a luxurious mix of salmon, tuna, uni, unagi, torched baby octopus, crispy egg, and soy dashi rice. It’s a symphony of fresh flavors and textures.
As for their Crowd Favorites (P680)—the name says it all. This platter delivers a variety of flavors that keep guests coming back for more: salmon skin aburi maki, truffled steak aburi maki, spicy tuna maki, and ebi tempura maki, all in one irresistible platter.
Don’t miss out on Ooma’s hotplates, either. A standout is the Hanger Steak (P595), a melt-in-your-mouth sous vide hanging tender, served with sautéed mushrooms, white truffle oil, sweet potato purée, crispy baby potatoes, herb oil, and ponzu butter. It’s one of Booky’s Team favorites for a reason!
For noodle lovers, the Uni Udon (P560) is a must-try. Packed with local uni, shrimp, onions, shiitake mushrooms, nori crumbs, scallions, and a creamy uni sauce, this dish will leave you full yet craving another bite.
And here’s an unexpected twist: gyozas make for excellent desserts, too! Ooma’s Fried Chocolate Goya (P235), stuffed with dark chocolate and mochi, and Fried White Peach Gyoza (P235), filled with white peach and mochi, are worth saving room for. Dip them in shoyu cream cheese for a surprising contrast of flavors—still sweet, but with a savory touch that makes each bite a unique dessert experience.
After a long workday, sometimes a good drink is just what you need (or not, no pressure!). If you’re in the mood to unwind, Ooma has some refreshing options for you to try. Sip on the Yuzu Highball (P345) for a citrusy kick, the Sakura Highball (P425) for a floral twist, or the Lychee Highball (P395) for a touch of sweetness.
