Quick info
About Okome
Okome is a Japanese restaurant at 161 Byres Rd in Glasgow, working from a broad menu that runs from ramen to poke. The Hell spicy beef ramen brings heat to the noodle bowls, while the build-your-own poke bowl lets each diner choose their own combination. Sushi sets and rolls sit alongside curry bowls such as the pork katsu curry, and a few small plates and buns fill out the sides. A lunch deal is offered for midday visits. Soy sauce and wasabi are set out on the tables, so sushi orders can be seasoned to taste.

Customer Review Summary
Sushi draws the most mentions, with reviewers singling out fresh salmon, generous roll fillings and a salmon bowl filled with fresh fish. The Hell spicy beef ramen comes up close behind, described as nice and satisfying, and a few praise the rice and the good portions on rice and ramen dishes. The spinach bun, tofu curry rice and prawn gyoza also earn favourable notes, and staff are called friendly and helpful, with food arriving quickly. The complaints are specific. One delivered pork katsu curry came with a sauce so thick it would not leave the container or mix with the rice, along with undercooked, cold potatoes and massive vegetable chunks. Another reviewer found the build your own poke bowl and homemade kimchi like eating a bowl of salt, and one found the sushi set not quite filling. Among the praise, the takoyaki is described as arriving very hot.

“Decent meal all round. Odd guy sat opposite kept smiling and staring at me whilst saying he bought too many VKs last night, but other than that I had a good time”

“I have ordered food from here before as well as being,there and it has been good, but naw they absolutely missed the mark this time.£6.40 for some pigeon wings,build your own poke bowl and homemade kimchi,has anyone tasted it??? It's just like eating a bowl of salt.Sorry to be brutal but naw spending over £30 deserves a bollocking.”

“I ordered a 'Hell' spicy beef ramen. It was nice. It's a fairly relaxed atmosphere and a good spot for a quick but satisfying meal to eat during the day.”
