About Us

In the dynamic culinary landscape of Kuala Lumpur, OMI at The Exchange TRX emerges as a remarkable destination for lovers of authentic yet contemporary Japanese cuisine. Originating from Australia, OMI has quickly earned a reputation for delivering exceptional quality and innovation, earning titles such as the Most Popular Japanese Restaurant in Australia 2022. Now, with its presence in KL, it brings a refined yet approachable dining experience that captivates food enthusiasts from all walks of life.
The moment diners step into OMI, the minimalist and sophisticated design instantly sets a tranquil, elegant tone that perfectly complements the culinary journey ahead. The space echoes traditional Japanese aesthetics but with a modern twist—clean lines, soft lighting, and subtle décor create a welcoming atmosphere ideal for savoring the intricate flavors on the menu.


OMI’s commitment to quality is unmistakable, especially when it comes to its signature ingredient: premium Australian wagyu beef. Sourced from suppliers known for cattle carrying the coveted “soft gene,” the wagyu here promises a buttery, melt-in-the-mouth texture that elevates every dish it graces. This dedication to top-tier ingredients extends across the entire menu, where freshness and authenticity are prioritized without compromise.
The menu itself showcases a beautiful harmony of classic and contemporary Japanese dishes. Highlights include expertly crafted rice bowls, where the richness of wagyu or the delicate flavors of aburi salmon take center stage. The use of Koshihikari rice, prized for its perfect balance of stickiness and fluffiness, further enhances these dishes, making each bite satisfyingly complete.


Beyond rice bowls, OMI offers an enticing variety of appetizers and sides that complement the mains impeccably. Dishes like beef tataki deliver a refreshing citrus-soy flavor that awakens the palate, while Japanese fried gyoza offer a perfect balance of crispy exterior and juicy filling. For those who appreciate a little indulgence, the truffle fries stand out as a luxurious yet comforting side that pairs wonderfully with the umami-rich mains.
Dessert lovers will find the OMI Shiratama Parfait a delightful finale. Featuring chewy rice dumplings, sweet red bean paste, and creamy matcha ice cream, this layered treat provides a satisfying balance of textures and traditional flavors, offering a sweet yet light conclusion to the meal.
The beverage selection further complements the dining experience. OMI’s signature matcha latte and iced matcha latte with matcha ice cream showcase the vibrant, earthy tones of premium matcha, while the Japanese houjicha offers a soothing, roasted tea option for those seeking a caffeine-free alternative.


OMI’s attentive and knowledgeable staff add another layer to the experience, guiding diners through the menu with expert recommendations and ensuring that each visit feels personalized and memorable. This combination of impeccable food, thoughtful service, and elegant ambiance positions OMI as a must-visit Japanese restaurant in Kuala Lumpur’s thriving food scene.
For those craving a culinary experience that marries tradition with modernity, OMI at The Exchange TRX delivers with grace and sophistication, celebrating the rich flavors of Japan in every carefully crafted dish.
