Grab an oroshi chicken bowl with ontama, throw in some pickles and mushrooms, and go to town. A healthy, tasty hit of protein - and cheap, too!Upvote5Downvote
The wagu beef with the soft boiled egg in a rice bowl is my favorite. I always order double wagu ! Remember to order it as a set to include a miso soup and a salad with a sesame dressing 👍

Khai Yi KhorNovember 21, 2018The Ontama Roast Beef Bowl was really affordable as the portion was big, but it wasn’t the best. The Curry Croquette was pretty good. The Takoyaki was alright.

JacquesOctober 4, 2015For something that is premade to serve does deliver on taste. Ordered the otama terriyaki chicken & it was satisfying. Good option for quick heavy mealsUpvoteDownvote
Io PinnerupMay 21, 2017Note that it's a cash only place. There's an ATM just across, so only an issue if you don't notice until you get to the till to pay :)UpvoteDownvote
They are having special promotion of $9.9 for any 3 mini bowls of rice. Limited to 50 serving/ day. Great way to try many dishes.UpvoteDownvote
Fei__rMarch 9, 2019The beef bowl tastes soooo good. But if u add all the sauce, the rice may be salty.
