Meet the Chef

Mylene Lapinid - The Culinary Artist behind Omakase Japanese Sushi Bar

At the heart of Omakase Japanese Sushi Bar's exquisite creations is Chef Mylene Lapinid, a culinary artist with a unique and inspiring journey. Originally from the Philippines, Chef Mylene moved to Aruba in 1995, bringing with her a master’s degree in fashion design. Her keen eye for detail and artistic sensibility, once channeled into fashion, found a new expression in the world of cooking—specifically in the delicate and intricate art of Japanese cuisine.

Chef Mylene’s culinary journey began with a deep passion for Japanese flavors and techniques. Over the years, she honed her craft under the guidance of a master chef, who taught her the traditional art of sushi making. This foundation of knowledge grew as she immersed herself in the culinary world, expanding her expertise through hands-on experience and specialized courses.

For over a decade, Chef Mylene explored and mastered the diverse facets of Japanese cuisine, working at esteemed restaurants such as Sakura, O Sushi Mi, and House of Japan. These experiences shaped her culinary style, allowing her to develop a deep understanding of the intricate balance of flavors that define Japanese cooking.

Now, as the head chef at Omakase Japanese Sushi Bar, Chef Mylene enjoys complete creative freedom to bring her culinary visions to life. Her dedication to her craft is evident in every dish she serves—each one a delightful, mouthwatering creation that invites guests to return time and time again.

Sushi Heaven

This was our second trip to Omakase for amazing sushi! Mylene, the dushi chef, shows pride in her work and is always quick to check on customers to ensure they are satisfied. My husband had the Manchebo Special and the Miara Maki and loved them both! I had the Yakisoba and was equally pleased. The sauce on my Yakisoba was amazing! He had Murai Sugidama Sake to drink and I had a lovely glass of Metz Riesling. It was a fabulous meal and we look forward to our next trip!!

Best Japanese restaurant in Aruba

We come to Aruba every year for four weeks in March. We have dinner at Omakase every Tuesday we are in Aruba. The food is FRESH and the salmon sashimi is the best we have ever had. Chef Mylene prepares everything to exacting standard and her staff is excellent. If you enjoy Japanese cuisine this is where to go. Finish your meal with their special Green Tea Creme Brulee.
