Harajuku Gyoza's Omurice Pop-Up

Overview

Some dishes are as straightforward as they sound, and omurice — aka omelette rice — is one of them. It's an omelette made with fried rice, then typically topped with sauce. Yes, it's an easy concept to get around.

That said, this Japanese staple is also ridiculously delicious — far more than its eggs-plus-rice description makes it seem — and it's taking over Albert Lane in the Brisbane CBD. Until Sunday, March 24, Harajuku Gyoza is hosting Omu Sydney, which is serving up omurice aplenty for lunch and dinner.

You'll need to head by between 4–9pm Wednesday–Thursday, plus 11.30am–2pm and 4–9pm Friday–Sunday to get your fix — but prepare to have company. Miki Terasaki's version sparked two- and three-hour-long waits down south when Omu Sydney launched as a market stall back in December 2020.

Also, you've probably seen that omurice become quite the TikTok sensation, and it's probably made you hungry.

Harajuku Gyoza just hosted chef Motokichi Yukimura from Kyoto's Kichi Kichi, who Terasaki trained with — so it's going as big on omurice as your tastebuds will be.
