    As a long time Japanese food lover, I can honestly say that Okami Pako is the best Japanese food I've tried in Geelong. It is all you can eat, but you order what you want from your table. We were told that the serving sizes are small so we ordered eleven items. It turns out that the servings aren't so small after all, so we had set ourselves quite a task to finish all of it. Every item we tried was either delicious or unique and interesting. The most unique were the king oyster mushroom salad (which tasted surprisingly meaty) and the grilled squid (which even I found to be quite intense). The most delicious was the miso steak. The steak was perfectly tender and juicy. Every item we tried was delicious - from the spring rolls to the fried chicken, the vegetable gyoza to the fried rice. I can't even remember everything that we ate. For $36 per person you probably won't find a better deal on Japanese food in Geelong.

    It's OK. The service was fast but there were a few order missing. And when we asked the staff they did submit the order again and we ended up getting all the missing and plus the repeat order at the same time. Sometimes they put the food that we didn't order which that makes me think my order went to the someone else's table. Food was OK but I think different OKAMI has different menu, the ones in Melbourne have better option.

    This place is the best. $36.80 a head, to eat as much as you can fit in. The service is very quick, so no waiting between pig out sessions. Food is cooked to order and you can tell - piping hot, very fresh. Cold platters are amazing……..beware the small green ball.🥵 Not a nibble, it’s wasabi. They have a take away menu too.

    Omg!! One of the best meals I have ever had. The teriyaki chicken was so so tender, and everything we had under the snacks menu was the best food you could ever ask for. 10 out of 5 stars. Your Restaurant is the best in Geelong. ❤️ great value for money. Cool dolls you can buy as well. Thanks guys for your amazing food and service that was so attentive and friendly. Food comes out fast as well.

    The best Japanese all you can eat restaurant in Geelong, staff always bringing food out, staff very polite, great service. Food was also very yummy. Will come back again 100%. Price was excellent.

    Don’t get me wrong, the food here is brilliant, and the sake choices on the menu were amazing! But, having a place that was designed for large group drinks and groups, there is no split pay, which is really annoying. Also, when alcohol was served, the waiter did ask if people were 18, but not for any ID. This was a problem as half of the people there were under 18, but if we didn’t say anything, they would have been served alcohol.

    Great food and great variety. Good value for adults but not so good for little kids. Only disappointing thing is they don't split the bill so if you have a large group can be tricky and even a 1.5% surcharge on cards, which you cast avoid of you have a large bill. Who carries cash anymore. Would go back again, just with my wife.

    Giving this establishment a 2 star rating is generous. The customer service was truly one of the worst I’ve experienced. We ordered a platter of sushi and received 6 pieces even though the picture has roughly 20 pieces showing. We also ordered dumplings with 6 pictured and only received 4 for 2 people. The Sake we ordered only came to the table once we’d completely eaten everything and came dirty, with chopsticks also coming filthy, truly disgusting. Won’t be coming back unfortunately!

    Although it’s not traditional Japanese food, I have to say the price for its quality and taste is worthy. The serving is always fast, not like other all you can eat restaurant.

    Affordable and really tasty bento boxes ~ Their regular all you can eat menu is also a must try in pako if you’re keen on Japanese cuisine

    Great food on a set price buffet-style menu. Our group had a great meal service was great. Until the end...they don't split bills! This is a problem, you need to be more flexible, We were a group of 12 people.

    Great find and perfect food with a good selection. Next time we will turn up hungry and try their special of all you can eat menu. Staff couldn't have been better, top marks to all of them. Good atmosphere too. I'd be happy to return there any time.

    Good food, awesome variety, we all enjoyed it, the only small negative was that our table was setup in a way that everyone going past our table would scrape past it, just a little too close to the other tables, other than that service was fast and food very tasty.
