Omaki Sushi and Teriyaki is one of the most popular spots near school, but a lot of people think of it only for sushi. The truth is, their menu goes way beyond seafood, and there are plenty of great choices if you want to try something different. Here are a few of my favorites.

For drinks, the Passion Fruit Tea with strawberry popping boba is a must-try. It’s fruity, refreshing, and the popping boba makes it fun to sip. The Lychee Fruit Tea is a lighter option if you don’t want too much sugar, and the Peach Slush is basically frozen candy for anyone with a sweet tooth.

When it comes to snacks, the Gyoza are my go-to — perfectly pan-fried, with a crisp outside and soft filling inside, and easy to share with friends. The Chicken Karaage is another strong contender: crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and full of flavor. If you’re in the mood to try something new, the Takoyaki (octopus balls) brings that Japanese street food vibe you don’t usually find.

For mains, the Orange Chicken is hands-down my favorite — sweet, tangy, and crunchy, it’s always a crowd-pleaser. The Chicken Teriyaki is another solid pick if you want something filling and simple.

And if you’re looking for dessert, the Chocolate Frozen Wafer Sandwich is a fun little treat to wrap things up.

So next time you stop by Omaki, don’t just stick to the sushi section — there’s a lot more to explore. My go-to combo has to be Passion Fruit Tea, Gyoza, and Orange Chicken.
