If you’re planning your next visit to OKA Barnes, start with some of the dishes our customers return to most.
The OKA Barnes menu brings together Japanese-inspired cooking and pan-Asian flavours, with lighter dishes, sharing plates and plenty of options to order across the table. For late summer, we’ve picked five best sellers, plus two drinks that work just as well for a weekday lunch as they do for a weekend dinner.
What Are the Most Popular Japanese and Pan-Asian Dishes?
The Oven Baked Seabass is served on stir-fried pak choi with olive oil, Thai shallot, ginger, garlic, sesame soy and black ground pepper. Light but full of flavour, it’s a strong choice if you want something fresh from the main menu.
Another favourite is the Agedashi Tofu. Firm fried tofu is served with shichimi powder and agedashi sauce, combining a crisp outside with a soft centre and savoury finish.
For the table, the Vegetable Tempura combines asparagus, courgette and sweet potato with ponzu and sweet chilli sauce. It’s easy to share and works well alongside a mix of dishes from across the menu.
Which Pan-Asian Dishes Are Good for Sharing?
The Wakame Seaweed Salad is a lighter option made with sweet seaweed, pickled cucumber and marinated fried tofu. It adds freshness alongside warmer dishes and sharing plates.
For something with more heat, the Baby Squid is seasoned with shichimi-spiced salt and pepper and served with sweet chilli mayo.
These dishes reflect the mix you’ll find at our pan-Asian restaurant in Barnes, combining Japanese influences with wider pan Asian flavours.

What Drinks Pair Well with Japanese and Pan-Asian Food?
The peach non-alcoholic cocktail is a simple late-summer choice. Fresh and fruity, it pairs particularly well with the seabass, vegetable tempura and lighter dishes on the menu.
For something more traditional, Jasmine Tea is light and floral, making it an easy match across both Japanese and pan-Asian dishes.
Both work for a quick weekday lunch, an evening meal or a more relaxed weekend visit.
