    Deep fried chicken karaage
    Patricia L.

    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.

    a plate of sushi
    Heidi L.

    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.

    This restaurant is not fancy or anything, but the food service and cleanliness of the place was…read morevery good . We went there several months ago and everybody left satisfied . there is parking around the areas and back as well on the street as for the handicap i never even paid attention too it. Thank you Helena Kong

    tucked away at the corner of edmonds and kingsway, watashi sushi and kitchen is a cute little sushi…read morejoint that's been around for about two years now, but we finally stopped by for the first time today. we came as a party of three just before 2:00 pm on a friday and were seated right away in a cozy booth. the interior is warm and charming, with soft lighting, dark wood booths, and a large cherry blossom mural that adds a calm, pretty touch. colourful parasols and string lights hang from the ceiling, giving the space a playful and inviting feel. the staff were friendly and efficient, keeping everything running smoothly behind the counter. the menu is surprisingly extensive for such a small spot, with a nice selection of lunch specials. we decided on two of their signature bento lunch boxes (served with rice and miso soup, available until 4 pm), planning to order extra sushi afterward, but the bentos turned out to be more than enough for the three of us. chicken teriyaki box, tender, juicy pieces glazed in a rich, slightly sweet sauce. came with appetizer tempura (2 prawns, 2 vegetables), a 4 piece california roll, 2 pieces of aburi oshi, salad, and seasonal fruit. sashimi box, four pieces of sashimi (2 salmon, 2 tuna) with shredded daikon, plus the same accompaniments: appetizer tempura, california roll, aburi oshi, salad, and fruit. everything was neatly presented, using fresh ingredients and generous portions, a perfect balance of colour, taste, and texture. both sets felt hearty, satisfying, and thoughtfully prepared, served in elegant lacquered trays that made the meal feel special. for dessert, we shared a green tea tiramisu cake, more like a frozen slice of ice cream cake than a traditional tiramisu. not quite what we expected, but still a refreshing way to end the meal. overall, watashi sushi and kitchen is a charming neighbourhood spot with excellent value lunch sets, fresh ingredients, and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. a great little find in burnaby.
