Gomae salad with gorgeous presentation.
Wendy C.

I like the cozy atmosphere here. The location is a bit hidden and I like that - not too busy. The booths are my favorite. I noticed it's under new management. The food I'm always happy with and this time I got gomae salad and the presentation was gorgeous! Service was good.

Deep fried chicken karaage

The service was great and three of us had no problem in Father's Day. The food and prices were pretty good and they certainly have a lot to choose from. We will return, we liked the private booths offered too.

Okoman sushi Lougheed, BC It was new year's eve and we wanted sushi so we ordered: Roll tray $46, 8 rolls Nigiri tray $37 For the roll tray, my favorites are the chicken roll and dynamite roll ( **) Although the chicken roll is teriyaki chicken? The taste was really flavorful!! The fish skin in dynamite roll is HUGE and it was oily (this is a compliment) I LOVE IT For the nigiri roll, first of all not gonna lie the sashimi wasn't really fresh but acceptable. With this price I wasn't expecting THAT much at all it was better than I thought () Nothing special about this tray everything was decent

Assorted Sashimi
PennyandRusty P.

Okoman Sushi is one of the many Korean/Japanese restaurants located along the North Road corridor between Burnaby and Coquitlam and is in the same complex as Pho Japolo and Thai Chef Casual Thai Cuisine (just on the lower leveL). The interior of this restaurant is a bit dim in spots due to the layout. From the decorations, it looks very much like a typical Japanese restaurant complete with sushi bar and various Japanese-themed items adorning the walls (including a large wooden boat above the front door). However, one look at the menu and you see that they serve both Japanese and Korean dishes here. On my first visit, I ordered the Assorted Sashimi ($18.95 for 16 pieces) which included 3 pieces of seared tuna, 3 pieces of sockeye salmon, 3 pieces of tako (octopus), 3 pieces of salmon, 3 pieces of tuna, 3 pieces of tai (red snapper). Most of the sashimi here was spot on and had a fairly generous size. The only one I wasn't thrilled with was the tako which turned out to be a bit too chewy (perhaps to be expected). It was good enough that I wanted to revisit and try some other items. This time, I made sure to pick and choose what I wanted with the nigiri. I ordered Hamachi ($2.95), Ikura ($2.95), Unagi ($2.45), Sockeye Salmon ($2.45), Toro ($1.95), Chopped Scallop with Masago ($1.75), Saba ($1.75). Again, most pieces were good here... especially the tender unagi and the toro. I did find that the saba (mackerel) fell apart from the rice though and there was a bit too much rice with the ikura and chopped scallop for my liking. On a return visit in early December, I ordered their Hotate Battera ($10.50) which is a pressed sushi dish where the rice is formed into perfectly rectangular pieces and topped with scallop, spicy mayo sauce, and tobiko before it's lightly torched. There's not huge pieces of scallop here so the scallop-to-rice ratio is a bit off for my person liking but I did enjoy the creaminess and the slight kick from the spicy mayo. Next up was the Grilled Salmon ($8.95) which is made with spicy tuna wrapped with salmon and then baked and served with sauce. There's no rice on the inside so this is a fairly meaty item. Overall, I did enjoy it but it's not as creamy as some similar items I've had at other sushi restaurants (ie. the spoon at Victoria Sushi and the sushi bomb at Hyack). On a subsequent visit in December, I wanted to order their real crab battera but was disappointed that they were out of real crab. Instead, I settled for their Negitoro Battera ($10.50) which is made with tuna belly and green onions. I really enjoyed the texture of the minced tuna belly and how it melted in my mouth. I'm a bit mixed with how the Yakitori ($5.95) turned out. On the one hand, the meaty skewers of chicken thigh and green onions were quite generous and coated in a sweet tare sauce. On the other hand, I wish that the chicken had more of a char on it. Who doesn't love a good Chirashi Don? With a price tag of $15.95, you get all the benefits of having an assortment of sashimi pieces plus the added bonus of rice seasoned with furikake and sesame seeds. The one that they serve at Okoman Sushi is practically brimming over with fresh sashimi. Admittedly, it is difficult to get down to the rice below without eating some of the sashimi first. There was a good selection of different sashimi including: 3pc Atlantic salmon, 3pc snapper (I think), 3pc wild salmon, 2pc hokkigai, 3pc toro, 3pc tuna, 3pc tuna tataki, tamago, and ebi. You really can't beat the price and the fish (especially the toro and salmon) were really good. I suppose one day that I'll have to return for a visit to try their Korean items.

Avocado sushi roll take out
Sabrina A.

Yesterday I called the restaurant to order avocado roll and California roll to go for kids. I asked avocado roll with no wasabi on the side. So when I came to pick it up, they charged me for 4 avocado rolls and then they apologized for misunderstanding. So I picked up my rolls and left a tip. When I got home, my kid asks me "mommy, why is avocado roll is so thin?" I was shocked when I saw the rolls. There were 6 little of 1 cm avocado rolls. It's like three normal sized rolls cut in half. I called the restaurant and they apologized but refused to return or replace the rolls. We used to go there as a family and leaving them 50-80$ per meal once or twice a month. Too bad they treated us that way. We are no longer their customers. Always check your order before you takeout

Salmon sashimi

So I have ordered from Okoman twice on Skip the Dishes. I have to say it's the best sushi I've had in ages. I highly recommend them. Great prices and food made with love

Gyoza soup
Christine R.

When I go to Japanese restaurants, it seems like the menus are all the same. But one way to differentiate them is by the "special rolls" selection of sushi. When I saw something called the "Crazy Boy" on Okoman's menu (and I was with my crazy boy), I knew I was in for something good. The menu contained a few other surprises, like a goma-ae roll and gyoza soup. We also ordered a selection of reasonably priced nigiri sushi (~$1-3). Unfortunately, we were in for a long wait for the sushi, as the server warned us when we sat down that the sushi chef was a bit backed up. I really appreciated that kind of proactive service, though - so many other places would just let you sit there with your tea and appetizers wondering if the chef had to go fishing or something. I liked the idea of gyoza soup - like a wonton soup, but with gyozas - but the reality was that the big dumplings floating in broth were difficult and messy to eat. And my husband couldn't even eat his because the soup turned out to be full of his culinary nemesis: onions! In two forms! I probably wouldn't order that again. The sushi, when it came, was very good - big pieces of melt-in-your-mouth fish on overwhelmed slabs of rice. They didn't put wasabi on the rice, however, so you have to DIY if you like your sushi with a kick. The goma-ae maki was a nicely executed concept, one I don't think I've seen before, but It makes perfect sense. Finally, the Crazy Boy arrived! I know the picture doesn't look like much, as my camera phone isn't the greatest, but they were delicious: spicy tuna and asparagus wrapped up together, deep fried, and topped with creamy peanut and wasabi sauces. Picky-eating husband says it's the best thing he ever ate, and I have to agree that it is indeed a special roll. For a local sushi spot hidden in the corner of an old strip mall, Okoman was hoppin'. But you hardly notice because the high-walled, private wooden booths keep it chillin', plus you can lazily push the Red Button to call for a server. Who by the way, seem to be run off their feet, but are unfailingly cheerful and efficient. Good sushi, great system. I'll definitely be back - and next time look out, because there's also a Viking Roll.

If you want a reasonable place for dinner, check this place out…read more I ordered the "roll set" from the set menu section. For $26, you receive six large pieces of California Roll, eight small pieces of Dynamite Roll, three salmon maki and three tuna maki, chicken karaage and mini salad.

The sashimi was super fresh, and even the salad greens were crisp with zero bad leaves. The rice in the chirashi don was delicious, it's sprinkled with a layer of furikake which makes it so easy to eat. The fish slices were a bit thin, but since you get 5 or 6 different kinds plus some fish roe, I can't complain. The presentation of the whole chirashi don was adorable, complete with a tiny edible (?) flower on top! The interior is super comfortable and feels spacious, even though seating is a bit limited. They were doing great business for lunch, literally packed the entire time! This was my first visit, but I definitely wouldn't mind stopping by again if I'm in the area to try their other dishes. Recommended!

My friend and I were intrigued by the Watashi Special One Meter Roll Combo for Two and also ordered the Assorted Sashimi. For 28.95, the one meter roll was visually impressive - we each got to try one piece of 10 different rolls (chef's choice of chef special rolls and aburi). And it wasn't like they were lazy and chose rolls with the same fillings and just changed the toppings - there was a nice variety of both the sushi and topping. My only feedback would be for them to explain or provide an explanation of which rolls were provided so next time I can order them directly! The assorted sashimi (also chef choice) were delish as well - I believe we got walu/butterfish, salmon toro, ika slices, along with the usual salmon, two types of tuna, hamachi and hokkigai. Both of these dishes were about $30 each and amazing value. These days I'm less about the quantity consumed and more about variety, which generally comes with a higher price tag. At watashi, I was equal parts full and satisfied by the different flavours at a very reasonable price tag. Hidden gem for sure! One uncomfortable observation was a customer on the other side of the store talking on the phone and cutting her fingernails at her dining table.... I feel like the employees should have stopped that behaviour because its quite unsanitary. Luckily we had already finished eating at that point.

First off, always bring a jacket here even if it's hot outside. The AC here is terribly cold. As regulars here for decades, sometimes with mild turbulent experiences, this specific visit highlighted a real decline in how the restaurant operates. We arrived close to sunset on a cool evening, yet the dining room was uncomfortably cold with air blowing directly on our backs. Staff can be seen to the side rubbing their upper arms trying to warm themselves. Patrons near us (tables really close) also expressed discontent with the chilly air and food. I asked a server if they could adjust the temperature twice. Finally, I got up and went to the counter and in broken English, the younger woman just shrugged and muttered that the AC was off, even though cold air was clearly still blowing--surely their HVAC system has a heater. After sitting there in a really cold dining room freezing and hearing other diners continue to complain, we decided to walk out without ordering. The cashier gave a completely scripted, insincere apology on our way out. It feels like they simply do not care about the dine-in experience or the tips customers leave anymore. I feel customers need to be more vocal and use their wallets as a method of approval. I also noticed a newly posted sign saying they now close between 3 and 4 pm for staff breaks, which seems to point to obvious staffing issues. There's way too many Sushi restaurants competing for business in the Highgate Metrotown area, this one has fallen off the rails. And I can't imagine how bad management is with these kinds of working conditions.
