Despite the Japanese sounding name, Omakase Burger is actually an American inspired burger joint. While 'omakase' means 'let the chef decide', Omakase Burger specialises in authentic American smashed beef burgers, using patties made in-house daily, with ground beef from their own proprietary blend of premium USDA choice-grade cuts.Omakase Burger has a minimalist ambience, with brightly lit, clean lines, white walls, and wooden furniture.

Omakase Burger has a minimalist ambience, with brightly lit, clean lines, white walls, and wooden furniture. Very zen, somewhat homely, and quite spacious. The chairs are sufficiently comfortable, but table sizes can be a little small, especially since they serve food on large plates / bowls. They even have a faux al-fresco lawn dining area!
Omakase Burger staff are friendly, greeting you upon entry. However, they use a fast food style self service concept, where you queue, place your orders, make payment, collect a buzzer, then collect your order when it's ready. Typically, the wait for each order is about 10 minutes or so, even during non-peak periods. But I notice staff are rather efficient are clearing dirty tables.
Omakase Burger can be considered to serve artisinal food, because their beef patties and burger buns are all made in-house. Their menu is focused solely on burgers, with no other main course options. Portion sizes for their burgers here are small, but each bite is packed with flavour. Their side dishes and drink portions, in contrast, are huge, and may be better for sharing. Prices aren't cheap here, budget at least SGD $25 per person for a meal.The Sweet Potato Fries (SGD $5.20 Regular) are thick cut, with a slightly crisp exterior, and a soft, warm interior. Love the natural sweetness, and it's also high in fiber, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Best shared, because the portion is huge!
I like that the Onion Rings (SGD $5.20) are thick cut and juicy, with the taste of onions just right, not too overpowering. The batter is crisp and golden, and shatters with a satisfiying crunch!
The Omakase Cheeseburger (SGD $14.90) features the signature, hand ground beef patty, that is juicy, packed with flavour, and yet still tender enough to come apart easily when bit. Sandwiched between 2 artisinal burger buns that have been toasted, giving it a slight crisp edge, while still being soft and fluffy within. Finished with fresh lettuce, tomato, melted American cheese, and a secret Omakase sauce, burgers don't get much better than this. Highly recommended!
The Omakase Chicken Sandwich (SGD $14.90) is extremely filling, packed with 2 thick slices of deep fried chicken fillet. You can taste the freshness of the meat, and it's so juicy! Sandwiched between the same 2 artisinal burger buns, that I discovered holds together moisture really well without falling apart, and garnished with fresh lettuce, tomato, and their secret Omakase sauce. Highly recommended!
