Japanese themed eatery OMI has relocated its Chadstone store to the centre’s newly expanded Atrium food court.

From today (November 29) it will serve up tantalising Asian dishes — including an all-star menu of drool worthy Udon noodle bowls — alongside other crowd favourites including Gami Cicken and Beer, Little White Duck and Sushi Jiro.

The food hall recently reopened following a massive revamp, which took place as part of the centre’s ongoing multimillion-dollar refurbishment works.

And the change of scenery for OMI will also see it gain a liquor licence following a Stonnington Council decision last month to allow eight vendors in the food court to serve alcohol.

OMI’s new Chadstone store features a menu starring Udon bowls and premium Wagyu beef.

Japanese iron chef Ikuei Arakane has also joined the OMI team as executive consulting chef, and will be the driving force behind their new menu, which also features award-winning Wagyu beef cuts and high quality seafood.

“My core values in this industry are providing high quality ingredients and offering both quality and flavoursome meals to all customers, which is what attracted me to work with (OMI founder) Ven Chin and the OMI brand,” he said.
