onion and mushroom (deluxe) cheeseburger with onion rings and root beer float $26. Beef was done medium rare but I'd say, it's probably between medium to medium rare. The beef patty was tender, juicy (perhaps a combi of juiciness and oiliness?) and the excessive juiciness of it made the burger soggy as the juice dripped to the bottom of the burger while eating. The onions were soft and the mushroom and sauce made the burger even tastier. For the onion rings, the onion could be seen in between the batter. The onion rings were huge and rather yummy too.The root beer float was so refreshing and was a wonderful complement to burgers (sinful!). We also had the truffle fries which I felt was average only. The truffle taste was very faint, and wasn't worth the top-up. Prices are on the steep side but it's definitely worth a try because their burgers are really good!

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. 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!Full Omakase Burger review here: http://ivanteh-runningman.blogspot.sg/2014/10/omakase-burger.html

For more reviews, visit http://www.umakemehungry.com/2014/06/omakase-burger.html Omakase when translated from Japanese literally means "Chef's Choice" or "its up to you". Serving customers in their best with ingredients made from the highest quality and preparing in the best way they knew. I came to be aware of Omakase burger when a colleague of mine asked if I had tried before, thus through word of mouth, I decided to pay them a visit at the grandstand since I havent been there, killing 2 birds in a stone.Upon reaching the restaurant, I was quite shock to see that they were actually published on the quite a number of media articles before such as The Straits Times, Epicure magazine, appetite magazine etc. Menu was rather straight forward, with the mains as burgers and chicken.Such common practice by more restaurants nowadays using the beeper to given an indication when food is ready for collection and Omakase Burger is seen adopting such technology too.While food required to be waited for quite sometime, we can get our drinks instantly from the counter. Look at the machine, its just a state of an art technology with orange juice freshly squashed in front of our eyes without any sugar added just within a minute. I was thinking that the helpers was real lucky to have a fuss free experience making juices out of those thick skin oranges.I remember seeing such machines in one of the Airports of an European country and I'm quite surprise to see them here. Needless to say, the orange juice I had was fresh and though I had ordered the bigger cup, it was still somehow not enough for me. And its not cheap at all. And the lemonade we had was only half a bottle portion and came with a cup of ice. It was refreshingly sour but I like it. They were home-made and fresh kept in store daily using a good blend of limes, lemons and secret ingredients.While waiting for our food, we saw other tables with sides like enormous onions rings and truffle fries and we decided to order the latter. These cripsy fries were tossed in their white and black truffle blend with grated Italian black truffles. Yum yum!Oven baked parmesan chicken is one of their speciality. Under the layer of baked breaded chicken, there was a layer of cheese coating leaving a good impression on such dish. Though it was baked, the meat was juicy and flavourful. This meal is served with baked rasin roll with butter spread and requires about 20 minutes of waiting time.For the real burger lover, the restaurant recommendations - The Ultimate Burger. The burger is complete with bacons, mushrooms and onions with their 100% USDA choice-grade premium cuts. Their patties were self made daily - grind, blend and hand form. This is to ensure the freshness of their burgers.Look at the melted American cheese, delicious!Having tried a number of burger joints, there is no doubt about Omakase Freshness and quality. However I find that the price is a little bit steep as compared to other places where servings are seen bigger. Considering the number of Omakase Burger in Singapore with the accessibility, having such burger will only be once in a blue moon for me.

For pictures and full review, pls visit:http://madamechewy.com/2014/04/20/omakase-burger/Don’t be misled by the word “Omakase”. No, you don’t leave your meal in the chef’s hands and no, there is zero Japanese influence in the food. This New York inspired burger joint serves American-styled burgers with beef patties that scream “sheer bliss”. Oh, the “Omakase” refers to the trust patrons can place in them to serve burgers made from high quality ingredients, prepared in the best way they know.Mr Cheng Hsin Yao left his banking job to start Omakase burger. Using an excel spreadsheet, he documented his experiments with countless blends and recipes for each element of his burger. It took him one and a half years to perfect his beef patties.Place your order at the counter and grab a seat in the park-inspired interior. I wasn’t too pleased with the self-service model though, we ordered quite number of items hence made many trips to and fro the counter. It was tiring and for that amount of money spent ($65 for 2 pax), I’d rather visit a restaurant or cafe, where I can sit down and enjoy a restful meal.Refreshing home-made Lemonade ($4.60)Omakase Cheeseburger ($14.90). Fresh, never frozen USDA Choice beef meat flown in from the US arrives at the store daily. They are rolled into a ball and smashed on a hot grill only when an order is made, resulting in a juicy centre with a slightly charred exterior. Every bite oozes flavour, nuff said. Another component of this burger I must gush about is the pillowy, toasted artisanal buns. Buttery and feather-like, they are the best I have ever tried. While the imported American cheese and secret Omasake sauce were nice, I wasn’t floored.Bacon Cheeseburger ($16.90). Same as the above, plus American bacon smoked in natural hardwood. Uber yumms!What are stars without sidekicks? Tossed in white and black truffle blend, and topped with grated Italian Black Summer truffles, these Truffle fries (reg. $7.30, large $8.30) were lovely, but I had tried better ones elsewhere (Au Chocolat).Sweet Potato Fries (reg $5.20, large $6.20) were uncomplicated yet delish, but the fries at the bottom turned soggy rather quickly. I believe its because of the way its stuffed into the cup.Burgers are petite, so I recommend topping up $5.95 to make it a double. Because the burgers were so dainty, we were still hungry and hence ordered Oven-baked Parmesan Chicken ($15.90) accompanied with a raisin roll. We waited 20 mins in anticipation, but were sorely disappointed. Although the breaded chicken was crunchy, the meat was way too greasy.Due to the inconvenient location and steep prices, I doubt I will be revisiting. There are shuttle buses from selected MRT stations to The Grandstand, find out more from thier website below. If you can wait a little longer to satisfy your burger cravings, a new outlet will be opening in Wisma April at the end of this month

This was my first time at Omakase Burger. Initially i thought Omakase burger was from japan however, i found out it originated from USA after reading their website. Their burgers were considered really quite pricey compared to other fastfood joints, however this was because higher grade and fresher ingredients were used in making their burgers. All their burgers cost above $10 and you have to add additional cost to make it a meal. I ordered their Signature Omakase cheeseburger @ $14.90. It is made up of hand ground beef patty, toasted buns, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato and their special omakase sauce. appearance wise, it looked like any normal cheeseburger except that the size of the burger was quite small. I love their buns as it is soft and the beef was juicy too. However, it will taste alot better if they could be more generous with the sauce! Overall, Omakase burger is indeed pricey but worth a try! I prefer other burger joints such as Carl Jr though!
