Waku Waku Melbourne: Omurice with Salmon, Tempura Prawns, Wagyu and Unagi

What would you add to your omelette rice: grilled salmon, tempura prawns, slow-cooked wagyu or Japanese eel?

At Waku Waku, those four choices form the restaurant’s published omurice selection. For anyone exploring Japanese omelette rice in Melbourne, it offers a chance to choose a meal around the topping that catches your attention.

After the curry focus of Tokyo Motto and the sauce variations at Sora Cafe, this stop in our Melbourne omurice series turns to seafood and beef.

Grilled Salmon Omurice

Grilled Salmon Omurice is one of the options listed on Waku Waku’s official website.

If salmon is your usual choice at a Japanese restaurant, this provides an approachable starting point. It also gives you something different to compare with the chicken-based omurice featured earlier in the series.

When ordering, ask which sauce accompanies it. The website names the dish but doesn’t provide a detailed ingredient description, and the sauce could be the deciding factor between this and another option.

Tempura Prawn Omurice

The restaurant also lists Tempura Prawn Omurice, bringing a battered seafood topping into the selection.

For diners who enjoy contrasting textures, this is the version to investigate. Tempura’s appeal lies partly in its delicate coating, so eating it soon after it arrives would be a sensible approach.

If you’re sharing with a dining companion, salmon and tempura prawn would make an interesting pairing to compare: two seafood choices with different cooking methods.

Slow-Cooked Wagyu Omurice

For a beef option, Waku Waku’s menu includes Slow-Cooked Wagyu Omurice.

The slow-cooked preparation makes this an alternative to the steak or breaded cutlet toppings you might encounter elsewhere. However, the published page doesn’t specify the beef cut, cooking time or wagyu grade, so those details are best checked directly.

Consider this one if beef is what you’re craving, particularly when your dining companion wants seafood and you’d like to compare different toppings over the same style of meal.

Unagi Omurice

Unagi Omurice completes the four-item selection on the official page. Unagi refers to freshwater eel, making this another option for diners who already enjoy eel in Japanese cooking.

It would be worth asking how the eel is prepared and whether its sauce differs from the other omurice dishes. Those details aren’t explained online, and they would help you choose between the seafood options.

Beyond Omurice

If someone in your group wants another dish, Waku Waku’s website also lists donburi, charcoal-grilled rice bowls, Hokkaido soup curry, udon and appetisers as menu categories.

That makes it possible to plan an omurice outing while leaving room for different preferences at the table.
