OMI Canberra

OMI Canberra presents a modern Japanese fusion concept in Civic, with a menu shaped around Japanese technique and contemporary interpretations. The venue’s wider OMI offering includes several expressions, from OMI 380 and the OMI series to OMI Bēkarī, a bakery-focused arm combining Japanese traditions with modern ideas.

Wagyu is a major focus. OMI’s Signature Wagyu uses Australian beef graded MBS 8–9, while its Premium Wagyu is graded 9+; the site also highlights Japanese A5 Wagyu. The beef is finished with high-heat torch searing to deepen its umami, with sauces offered to create different flavour combinations. Named options include Premium Short Rib Wagyu, Premium Wagyu Don and Premium Wagyu Sukiyaki, with the latter two listed as part of the OMI 380 offering.

Matcha is another defining thread, particularly through the OMI 380 Matcha Bar. Japan-grown matcha is used in drinks and desserts, including matcha lattes, cakes and other sweets, balancing traditional flavour with more modern presentations. OMI Bēkarī adds a baking dimension, with Japanese-inspired items such as soft shokupan, flaky croissants, melon pan, mini anpan, shio pan and manjū.

The website places equal emphasis on space, taste and craftsmanship, giving OMI a design-led dining identity without reducing it to one style of meal. Its mix of substantial Wagyu dishes, matcha drinks and desserts, and bakery offerings means it could suit a full meal, a shared visit or a more casual stop for something sweet. With a 4.8 Google rating from more than 2,300 reviews, OMI is a well-reviewed option for diners exploring Japanese fusion in central Canberra.
