OKAMI All you can eat $20 deposit

Who likes Japanese? Who likes all you can eat? Who wants me to join those together? Well have I found a place for you. OKAMI's ALL YOU CAN EAT menu means you can try anything, try everything and leave feeling full and happy from only $42.80 per person. This excludes drinks. Set it Brunswick, this is a great little addition to the inner northern culture. Also not far from Moreland station and Sydney road trams. So come along on a Thursday night. Have your fill of food and conversation. I'll hopefully see you there. Still not sure? Why not check out their menu. https://menu.okamirestaurant.com.au/menu/Brunswick A $20 non refundable deposit is required for this event and will be refunded on the night. The deposit will be required 48 hours from RSVPing to the event or you will be moved removed from the event. Please make payment to the following account only if you are on the going list. BSB 013125 Account 150808654 Please let me know once payment is made. PLEASE USE YOUR NAME AND VENUE AS YOUR REFERENCE. Please only RSVP to an event if you fully intend to show. Pulling out of a dinner or another booked event (with a venue) on the day is a kick in the teeth for both the venue and the organiser. I understand there are instances where this is unavoidable, but you are short changing the venue on the revenue they are reliant upon, especially when it comes to paying their staff. It may be too late to rebook those tables with other patrons. Not to mention the stress this puts the organisers under. Please be considerate.

At the height of the Cold War, writer Thomas Mann (Hanns Zischler) and his daughter Erika (Sandra Hüller) embark on a tour across a ruined Germany to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. As they make their appearances at conferences, parties, and private engagements, the history of their setting colours the entire purpose of the trip, and family, love, and allegiances take the centre stage.
