OOMA
Japanese Food like Never Before!
Chef Bruce Ricketts (also from Mecha Una at Fort) in collaboration with
The Moment Group is responsible for OOMA, the newest Japanese Fusion restaurant
located in the Mega Fashion Hall at SM Megamall.
The place is a little small. Better go there early to avoid waiting in line. We went there while it was still on soft opening, but the place was packed. We had to wait for more than an hour before we got seated.
I was told that the interior of the place was inspired by the movie Kill
Bill as well as the Tsukiji Market in Japan.

Everything in the menu looked delicious and exciting and I wanted to try
them all. Good thing, the waitress was very helpful and knowledgeable about
their food so it wasn’t difficult to choose which ones we will all like (Jeff
doesn’t like spicy very much).

If you're wondering what that canister is, that's the soysauce. Instead of dipping the maki, you brush it on.

Frites on Mashed Sweet Potato |
The Hanger Steak (Php495) reminded me of the Beef Usuyaki from Kuretake because of the overwhelming flavor of the Shiitake Mushroom. The beef was tasty and the mashed sweet potato balanced the saltiness of the dish.

One thing to remember: They serve UNLIMITED RICE!
Which is why we didn't order rice anymore, but I would like to try the Kamimeshi when I go back.
This area is for those who want to keep it private but its currently unavailable.
OOMA is definitely brings a refreshing twist to our favorite Japanese dishes!
