How do you like your cucumbers? If you answered “smacked”,you win all the garlicky,sesame-flecked,chilli-drenched prizes. The lightly crushed cukes are just one of the flavour-packed add-ons at Ommi Don,and it pays to make your meal into a combo when you can add a side for a hefty discount.

You’ll struggle to break the bank at Ommi regardless,with chef Omar Hsu’s signature Taiwanese lu rou fan of unctuous soy-braised pork belly over rice,creamy golden kimchi and a winter-melon iced tea coming in at an exceptionally reasonable $20.
