Welcome to Omori Izakaya & Sushi

“ Went here with a couple of friends the other week and it was pretty decent! The appetizers are the show stopper would recommend the chicken karagge and grilled squid. Skewers 100% would go with bacon and scallops. Sushi was alright not my favorite but apps made up for it. Cutely decorated and run my nice people! Waiters were attentive and were available with one look. ”

“ This review is only for takeout. I got the lunch special: Build Your Own Makimono Lunch with 3 Rolls (Spicy Salmon, Tuna Avo Maki, Crazy Maki). The quality and price were good, at $18 for 3 rolls and miso soup. They also don't skimp out on the fish. There are only 4 parking spaces in the front of the restaurant, but there is street parking and metered parking in a lot that's a street over. ”

“ A fantastic izakaya restaurant in the Malden area to experience a variety of Japanese food. There was no wait on a Sunday evening around 6pm. The highlight of our meal was the Chef Omakase for Two, which included an assortment of high grade sashimi. We also shared the Shinjuku and Ginza roll, both of which were generously filled and topped with seafood. The Hamachi Kama was very meaty and wonderfully crisp, juicy, and tender. The Hotate Kaiyaki was delicious but on the heavier/richer side. Lastly, we ordered a variety of yakitori and kushiyaki. The Kurobuda sausage and king oyster mushrooms were so tasty that we ordered seconds! We got to choose one free appetizer because our order was over $50. It's also easy to find street parking nearby. Well decorated, nice ambiance, and attentive wait staff. Tip - if you pay with cash, you receive 10% off the bill! Overall, we had a great dining experience and will definitely be visiting again. ”

“ Omori replaced Sousaku Bistro Japanese Tapas and Bar in Malden. The hostess is super sweet and friendly. She said if we pay in cash, she will give us 10% discount. Overall excellent customer service and once hostess knew we came to the restaurant to celebrate a birthday, she gave the birthday boy the fried green tea ice cream on the house. Great place for yakitori - meat were still juicy and flavorful. Only order the ramen to please the kids. It was below average - soggy noodles with mushy broccoli and why asparagus? About 3 parking spots in front of the restaurant. Otherwise plenty of street parking. ”

“ I love that Omori does yakitori/robatayaki and omakase sushi, and in my opinion they do both reasonably well for the price. I'm surprised they don't have more veggie robata options, like just plain mushrooms or onions (they do have asparagus). Most recently, I tried the omakase for 2. For $63, you get a generous amount of fish, two bowls of miso soup, and two rice bowls. I'm curious if you can order the set for just one person, but I was sharing. I didn't get a stomachache afterward and most of the fish tasted completely unfishy and good, which is all I want in sushi sometimes. The miso soup tasted like the standard easy/instant-type stuff which was a letdown, but that's expected. They also have highballs (drinks) here, which my boyfriend loves and for some reason is hard to find on most menus in the US, Japanese restaurant or not. One recent incident was weird: We ordered karaage and the server clearly repeated "karaage" after us and looked down at her notepad like she was writing it. After our other food had come and gone, though, I asked her about it and she seemed taken aback and insisted that we hadn't ordered any karaage. We didn't push the issue, but it was surprising that her automatic reaction was to completely disbelieve us. ”
