Overview

Strolling down Vine Street in Whangārei, I found OMOIDE Japanese Restaurant, and oh boy, what a gem! This cozy place serves up authentic Japanese cuisine that honestly feels like a mini trip to Japan — no jet lag included. Just look for the friendly staff in kimono; it adds a nice touch!

Now, the food? Let’s just say, it hits the spot. I tried the sashimi bento box, and I was blown away by the freshness. Sure, it took a while to arrive, but hey, good things come to those who wait, right? Plus, it’s not all roses; the oil smell was a bit strong. Some folks even noted that service can slow down when it’s busy, but that’s the atmosphere, isn’t it? It’s like you’re part of a bustling izakaya.

I also noticed OMOIDE gets great reviews — 4.4 out of 5 across 363 opinions! People rave about the ambiance; it’s warm and inviting, perfect for family lunches or a chill dinner. They’ve got a special lunch box for just $18, which is a steal for the portion size.

It’s got takeout, dine-in, and even options for kids, which is a plus. Oh, and did I mention there’s wine? It’s the cherry on top! So, next time you’re around here, definitely pop in for an unforgettable feast. Just bear in mind it’s closed on Mondays, so plan in advance!
