Ooma expands their menu to include cheesy curry, tako maki rolls, and more | Lifestyle.INQ

OCTOBER 27, 2022

Since it was established in 2014, Ooma has brought the vibrant nightlife of Tokyo to Metro Manila through their interpretation of Japanese cuisine. They have made a name for themselves through their colorful sushi rolls, bowls of uni udon, and their tender Hanger Steak.

Today, they will be expanding their menu to include Japanese classics like curries, tako makis, aburi rolls, and more—all with their signature bold touch. We’ve wrapped up some of the dishes you can look forward to seeing at your nearest Ooma branch.

Ooma’s new menu will be including more tako makis and aburi rolls to their selection of sushi rolls. These come in the form of a one-bite version of a takoyaki called the ikura tako-maki, roasted eggplant aburi maki, crispy tako maki, and the tamago and cheese aburi roll.
