Oohmami Pares House & Noodle Bar

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was great, the staff was friendly, and the food was delicious. Making a reservation for 6 was easy and the perfect spot to relax and catch up with friends. The music added to the chill vibe. I started with vegetarian lumpia, which was crispy and hot, though I prefer the meat version. I shared Sisig and Pancit Miki with a friend, and my favorite was the Pancit Miki with its thin noodles and flavorful sauce. The Sisig had a sunny-side-up egg on top, and breaking the yolk into the rice was delightful. My friend enjoyed the Oohpapi noodle soup, praising the tasty broth. I definitely plan on bringing my husband here next time.

This restaurant is amazing! I love the atmosphere and the servers are very friendly. The music is great and really sets the mood.

Had the beef noodles (6.5/10), tipsy tapsy(7.5/10), wings to start (6/10), pandan pudding for desset (10/10).  The staff were very friendly, decor was amazing.   The chewy noodles and beef (a little too fatty) was good, but the i was expecting a much beefier broth.  Although it tasted good, It was underwhelming and lacking the layers of flavor that a good pho or Chinese beef brisket noodle soup. The noodles where perfectly cooked which was a rare treat.  Most places over cook noodles and end up mushy.  Tipsy tapsy was good all the way around, beef was grilled and flavor was sweet, garlicky, and delicious. The pandan pudding in a young coconut was absolutely one of the best desserts i've had in a long time.  I would come back just for dessert and the decor.

If you want accessible and interesting takes on traditional cuisine, Oohmami is a place to try. For Filipinos that grew up with the food, this is not your mom's cooking. This is a new take on classic dishes with quality ingredients.<br/ <br/ Recently diners seem to be all about soups and noodle bowls, the house-named Oohmami bowl with the thick and chewy filipino noodles is worth a try. If you like strong garlicky broths this will hit the spot for you. The Oohpapi bowl is also worth trying which is slightly different than the house bowl with a beefier taste.<br/ <br/ I prefer the rice bowls. Great meats on garlicky rice often topped with an egg. That's where I usually focus. Especially the Tipsy Tapsi, a great tender piece of rib eye grilled to perfection and marinated in an ale. I'd also get the sisig, a delicacy and favourite among Filipinos, the chopped fried pork is pretty satisfying.<br/ <br/ For appetizers, you can't go wrong with the lumpia (Filipino spring rolls) or the Filipino tacos. Get the Sisig nachos if you like the pork dish. But for my money I love the siopao sliders. The rice dough is so soft and fluffy and topped with pork belly it's fantastic.<br/ <br/ I'm in love with this restaurant and can't say enough about the place. After going so often I guess I can consider being friends with the owners, so I can't complain about service and they're very open to feedback I provide.<br/ <br/ I'm definitely a fan of these guys. They're doing good things in this small, casual hangout spot.

Not many places in Calgary focusing on ethnic food make me feel nostalgic, but Oohmami is exactly the kind of place where Filipinos feel at home and foreigners feel like locals. We tried many things and the ones that really stood out to us were the High River wangyu brisket noodles, sisig taco, and coconut with pandan pudding (which can be shared between 2-3 people)!
