Oobamint, Japanese restaurant in Luxembourg: the website by Dineora

A Japanese restaurant with two faces

Oobamint is a Japanese restaurant in Luxembourg City. Its online menu is broad and well ordered: ramen, sushi assortments, soups, salads, sashimi, starters, temaki, Japanese sets, stir-fried rice and noodles, and a few extras. Among the dishes are the OOBAMINT Special Tantan, a ramen with house-marinated pork, marinated egg and minced pork in tantan sauce, but also vegetable or chicken gyoza, a miso soup, a wakame salad, a nigiri sushi moriawase, a salmon aburi, tuna avocado or salmon avocado temaki, and a beef amiyaki served with its miso soup.

The site shows a place with two faces: on one side a quiet terrace, with a Buddha statue, rattan armchairs and a Japanese maple with russet leaves; on the other a dining room with undulating wooden lines, lit by woven pendant lamps, with a bar of bottles lined up in rows.

The challenge: a very wide menu, a calm atmosphere

The Oobamint menu covers two big areas of Japanese cooking: bowls of ramen and soup on one side, sushi, sashimi, maki and temaki on the other, not forgetting full sets and stir-fried dishes. Presented all at once, such a menu would quickly turn into a long list. The goal was to make it readable, section by section, while keeping the peaceful atmosphere that the garden and the dining room suggest.

The site also had to keep two actions within reach, from the first screen to the last: booking a table and opening the menu. The two buttons, Réservation and Commander, therefore stay fixed at the top right of the screen throughout the whole journey.

Art direction board for the Oobamint website

An art direction of wood, lacquer and gold

The palette blends the deep brown of wood, lacquered red and gold, bathed in a low, amber light. The visuals composed for Oobamint follow that warmth: two nigiri glazed with a lacquered sauce and topped with avocado, on a black plate set on the terrace; a bowl of ramen whose toppings, marinated eggs, a fish cake with a pink spiral, corn, a sheet of nori, fly up above the broth; maki with tobiko and tuna and salmon sashimi presented in black and gold frames, lined up on a counter.

The headings are set in a high-contrast serif typeface, in italic for the hook and in bold for the statement, underlined with a golden brushstroke. The logo, a red serrated leaf stamped with two Japanese ideograms, opens the home page. The Réservation and Commander buttons are painted like plaques of red lacquer with golden borders, in the world of the place.

A home page that moves like a film

On a computer, the home page is a film that moves forward as you scroll. It opens on the terrace, with “Luxembourg, l’authenticité japonaise.” and a line summing up the menu: sushi, maki, California rolls, sashimi, gyoza and ramen. As you scroll, the scene melts into the next one: “Une carte créative, aux mille envies.”, where four frames set on a counter reveal maki, sashimi, the bar and the dining room.

Next comes the bowl of ramen in suspension, then “Nos ramen signature”, which opens a series of dishes told one by one in dark panels: the Special Tantan, house-marinated pork with tantan sauce, then the gyozas, nicely browned and served with their sauce. Each dish holds the screen for the length of a sentence, against a backdrop of wood and lit bottles.

An online menu in lacquered wood frames

The ordering page opens on an ochre wall crossed by the shadow of bamboo leaves, with a red maple and a wooden screen on the left. At the top, the name Oobamint is brushed in ink above the words “Cuisine japonaise”. A navigation bar lists all the sections, from Ramen to Extras, to jump straight to the soups, the sashimi or the temaki.

Each section sits in a large frame of red-brown wood, riveted with brass eyelets and decorated with maple and bamboo leaves, around a parchment-colored background. Each dish appears with its visual, its name and its price, and a round red button, accompanied by a blue wave, adds it to the basket. On a smartphone, the “Panier” bar, in dark lacquer scattered with maple leaves, follows the reading at the bottom of the screen.

Booking under the fans

The Réservation button opens a form painted like a dark wooden panel, ringed with red lacquer and golden lines, with two red fans scattered with cherry blossoms and pine branches in the upper corners. The title “Réservations” is written in golden capitals, above the name Oobamint in italics.

The form fits on a single screen and asks for the essentials: full name, phone, e-mail, date, time, number of guests and a special request. The fields have the texture of cream paper, and the confirmation button picks up the red lacquer plaque of the site’s other buttons.

Designed for the smartphone

On a smartphone, the two painted buttons, Réserver and Commander, stay side by side at the top of the screen. The logo, the title and the line summing up the menu are layered over the terrace, and the nigiri take the full width under the text. Further down, each dish in the story appears in a frame with rounded corners, above a wooden counter, with its dark panel: the ramen, then the gyozas.

The ordering page stacks the lacquered wood frames in a single column; the section bar scrolls horizontally at the top of the screen, and the “Panier” bar stays fixed at the bottom. The booking form lines up its fields in a single column, from the full name to the special request.

A site prepared for local searches

The page title and its description present Oobamint as a Japanese restaurant in Luxembourg City, and the home page texts name what people come looking for: ramen, sushi, maki, sashimi, gyoza. The restaurant, its city and its cuisine are described clearly and consistently, for visitors and search engines alike.

The full menu, section by section, can be read as text on the ordering page. No one can guarantee a position on Google: the work consists in giving search engines accurate, well-structured information that is consistent from one page to the next.

A website for a ramen and sushi restaurant in Luxembourg: Japanese menu and online booking

A ramen restaurant is judged by its bowls and its freshness: Special Tantan, seafood ramen, nigiri moriawase, toro, seared salmon aburi, temaki, gyoza, beef amiyaki, Japanese sets. The website of a Japanese restaurant in Luxembourg has to chain those dishes like a tasting menu, file eleven sections without tiring anyone and let guests book a table for lunch or dinner. What Dineora puts in:

A restaurateur’s budget. Far below a web agency’s, and no commission on online payments.
A ramen does not wait. The restaurant’s name is enough to bring the menu, its visuals and the booking form to life in a few minutes.
Red lacquer, dark wood, gold. A terrace under a red maple, amber light, cherry-blossom fans, pine branches: the décor of Oobamint, not a Japanese-ish theme.
Specialities that rotate. The owner sees the site as soon as it is created, then changes a chef’s speciality, a set or a price personally.
The table, from screen to dining room. Booking requests reach Oobamint with no agency and no restaurant directory.
Luxembourg, Lisbon, Sydney. The software also serves Lausanne, London and Rabat, in several languages: precious in a city as multilingual as Luxembourg.

For a Japanese restaurant in Luxembourg City, it is a site that scrolls like a film, from steaming ramen to sashimi, and ends on a booked table.

The outcome: a Japanese restaurant discovered screen by screen

The Oobamint website does not simply line up dishes: it moves from the terrace to the counter, then to the dining room, keeping the warmth of wood, red lacquer and gold. The very complete menu stays easy to browse, and booking remains one gesture away, at the top of every screen. That is the ambition of every website designed by Dineora: a website in the image of the restaurant, with its menu and its bookings.

Questions about this project

Who designed the Oobamint website?

The Oobamint website was designed by Dineora: art direction, a home page as a film that plays as you scroll, an online menu and a booking form.

Can you browse the Oobamint menu online?

Yes. The ordering page presents the whole menu, section by section: ramen, sushi combo, soups, salads, sashimi, starters, temaki, Japanese sets, rice and noodles, extras, each dish with its visual and its price.

Can you book a table at Oobamint on its website?

Yes. The Réservation button, at the top of every screen, opens a form on a single screen: full name, phone, e-mail, date, time, number of guests and special request.

How do you present a very detailed ramen and sushi menu online?

By chaining the families of dishes, ramen, sushi, sashimi, temaki, rice and noodles, with one image per speciality and a menu that reads well on a phone. Dineora builds it from the restaurant’s name.

Can you book a Japanese restaurant directly on its own site, with no middleman?

Yes. The site’s form sends the request, with date, time and party size, to the restaurant itself, with no commission and no platform.
