    5 stars! If I could give more, I would. I stopped by Okome Don for lunch on a Monday and had such a great experience! It wasn't busy at all, and the atmosphere was clean, relaxed, and welcoming which is perfect for a casual lunch break. The service was great and the person who made my order was so friendly and kind, and even gave me a free miso soup! You can really tell they care about their customers. As for the food... absolutely amazing. You get to choose three meats for around $10.95, which is unheard of in this economy. Everything tasted so fresh -- from the fish to the toppings like avocado, edamame, and seaweed salad. The portions were generous, the flavors were balanced, and everything was beautifully prepared. I'm so happy to have found this little gem. I will 100% keep supporting this small business. If you're even thinking about it: come here!!! You won't regret it.

    I didn't quite understand the poke bowl trend that sprung up nearly a decade ago. Poke spots were opening up left and right. It was tasty enough, but I didn't find the dish amazing. Now that the trend has receded, I don't spot them often. Are they still drawing a dedicated crowd? My friend though mentioned to me this place was one of his favorite spots. We visited randomly one day for an early dinner. The place was nice and clean. The instructions were printed out clearly, and the ingredients were labeled nicely. I love that you could split your base with half rice and half lettuce, which I did to cut down the carbs a bit. I then went with a three protein combo and chose salmon, tuna, and yellowtail as my protein. They had so many other options like eel, scallop, and even octopus! Next I decided to add almost every available topping. Don't be shy about adding extra because you only get a small bit. My bowl was nice and stacked by the time I was finished. I wasn't aware it also came with some complimentary miso soup, which was a bit on the weak side, but whatever. My friend and I both dined in and helped ourselves to the water at the dispenser. Wow! Everything was so fresh and tasty! I loved the various colors, textures, and flavors! Every bite was slightly different, and that kept the meal exciting. I enjoy that the meal was packed perfectly to go. Definitely worth another visit!

    Very fresh sushi for such a reasonable price! I went here with my cousins and we were all so impressed. We all built our own poke bowls and also got complimentary miso soup. Highly recommend going here!!!

    Every time I order from here I forget to take pics lol. I will add them the next time I go I absolutely love this place! The fish is so fresh and good quality and the bowls aren't super expensive. You get free avocado too! I also recommend taking advantage of happy hour from 4-8pm. They have really good spam musubi and hand rolls (I recommend the spicy scallop hand roll) Not to mention the people who work here are really friendly! It's a nice place and while many people don't sit down here it's a nice atmosphere and totally worth the drive if you don't live with the area.

    I've always seen the sign for this place but never actually tried it out. I realized I had been missing out on awesomeness all these years. This place has become my number one poke spot. For the price, portion, and QUALITY, you can't beat it. No place can compare!! I got the 3 scoop protein bowl with half rice and half spring mix salad; tuna, salmon, and yellowtail; avocado (surprise surprise! they don't charge extra!!!), red onion, corn, seaweed salad, edamame; ponzu + spicy mayo; and sesame seeds, seaweed, and fried onions. They provided a complimentary side of miso soup, which was very appreciated and yummmm. I was in utter awe of how delicious this meal was. The fish was fresh and filling. The sauces enhanced everything. Flavors just exploded in my mouth. I finished my bowl in one sitting. I'm a relatively slow eater and tend to leave w leftovers, but I scraped my bowl clean. After I finished, I already started thinking about when I'd be paying my next visit. Service was spectacular!! The employees are sooooo warm and welcoming! I knew who their regular customers were just by how they greeted them. If I lived closer to Bellaire, I'd be a regular for sure lol. The parking wasn't bad, but I know it can get crazy depending on when you go!

    okome don has alwys been good ever since my first time many many yrs ago quick service at all times whether you go for lunch or dinner all the fish are very fresh i especially love their baby octopus, unagi, tofu and salmon :) avocado topping is free here unlike many other places clean and spacious dining!

    Poke bowl
    Sean K.

    Poke bowl was really good. The reason for the average review is that I went for the happy hour specials and none of that menu was available. Not even the musubi which I was really excited about. Lastly this is kind of weird, but when I tried to tip on the "you better tip or the person behind you will judge you" iPad, it wouldn't work. So I pressed the next highest tip option and voila! It worked. Sort of a weird way to get more tip. Probably not intentional. Seating was very plentiful. I was actually concerned at the lack of customers on a Saturday evening. Service was OK. Cashier did not seem happy in general.

    The service here is impeccable! They are patient and attentive every time I've been. The menu shows steps from 1-6 to build your poke bowl. I love that they have yellowtail and red snapper here, which are not available at many poke restaurants. The regular size gives you 3 proteins, the large gives 5!! No extra charge for avocado, AND free miso soup! It's quite a steal in my opinion. It would be nice to see a few more mix-in items (they call it poke mate), like hijiki seaweed or crab salad. But they do have a nice variety. I was too eager for my bowl this time, only remembered to take a picture of it half way through lol. I got spring mix as the base, with salmon, tuna. My favorite sauce is ponzu - a hint of citrus and a little sweet. I get the sauce on the side because it can be too much sometimes. I think the sauces with soy are on the saltier side. You can ask for sample to make sure you like it. Overall it's a nice, peaceful place to have a casual lunch/ dinner with your friends. It's a healthier food option also, that's always a plus! PS. During happy hour 4-8pm, their handrolls are only $3.50, and $1.50 for sushi.

    Okome Don was the perfect quick lunch in Bellaire. I was in the mood for something on the healthier side that was relatively affordable as well. Okome Don checked all those boxes and more. Walking in, there's a good amount of seating and the restaurant is kept quite clean. The guy, who seemed like the owner, helped me build my bowl and offered great suggestions if I wasn't sure about anything. The scoops of protein here are slightly on the smaller side compared to other poke shops in Houston, but for $10.95/bowl it was still a solid deal. They even give you a cup of miso soup included. I opted for a mix of tuna and salmon, all of the toppings because I like variety, and the owner recommended I get a mix of their spicy poke soy and spicy mayo for the sauce. 10/10 would get again! Overall, Okome Don was exactly what I was looking for for lunch in Bellaire. It's quick, affordable, and fresh tasting. I'll come back for sure, enjoy! PS. Avocado is included here which is a huge plus!

    Clean place and fresh sushi - took a bit to get our sushi rolls but tasty. Nice staff. We hit them during happy hour so it was reasonably priced. Only critique was that plates were all disposable when we were eating in.

    Food is always good and the service is always excellent! These hand rolls were fire and you CANNOT beat the price.

    Tasty and fresh hand rolls and poke! We originally ordered one regular poke bowl, one spicy scallop hand roll, and one spicy yellowtail hand roll. It was so delicious, that we went back for seconds. We ended up getting 2 more spicy yellowtail hand rolls. They have amazing happy hour deals. Also, this restaurant is extremely well kept. Very clean, modern, and cozy. The service was very fast and friendly. The sushi chef was very patient with us as we decided what we wanted in our poke bowl. Will definitely be back the next time we are in town!

Everything we had was flavorful, delicious, and all the meat was moist! I can't wait to come back and I'm sad it took me so long to find this place! Highly recommend!! Service was helpful and friendly. The restaurant felt very clean, spacious, and modern with a lot of natural light. They brought our food out to our table and gave us napkins and utensils, so we didn't have to get up and get them ourselves. Absolutely a great dining experience! The portions are also big! My bf and I each got a Hawaiian Favorite combo and couldn't finish them. The entrees are easily two servings for me, so it's a great value! The containers the food comes in are microwavable too, so extra bonus points for easy reheating! If you do manage to finish an entree in one sitting though, you will be stuffed! It wasn't mentioned on the menu, but there's steamed/sautéed cabbage under the meat. It looked a little deceiving because I thought it was just a huge pile of meat, only to find cabbage under. Thankfully, I love cabbage and appreciated that there were veggies to balance the heaviness of all the meat. That being said, there was still a lot of meat, just not as much as it looked like at first. They also give you little containers of sauce depending on which entree you get, which really enhanced the meal. If you get bbq beef or chicken, you get a delicious, sweet, Hawaiian bbq sauce. If you get the chicken katsu, you get a sauce that resembles sweet and sour. If you get a combo that has both bbq meat and chicken katsu, you get both sauces. I poured the sauce over the rice to season the plain white rice, then poured the rest on the meat even though it didn't really need it. BBQ CHICKEN: Moist, flavorful, and delicious!! Comes in small to large chunks. BBQ BEEF: Moist, flavorful, and delicious!! Comes in thin slices. CHICKEN KATSU: Moist! Fresh, crunchy breading! Tastes better with the sweet and sour-like sauce provided than on its own. KALBI SHORT RIBS: Delicious! Moist! Has fatty bits, unlike the bbq beef, which I really liked! Very similar, if not the same, flavor as the bbq beef. MACARONI SALAD: Delicious and flavorful! Tastes just like potato salad.

    The food was SO delicious! Tender juicy Hawaiian BBQ, rice, Mac salad, and bomb cabbage. Highly…read morerecommend

My katsu was cold and tasted like it wasn't fresh. Was given a small handful of BBQ chicken that looked like leftovers. And I couldn't even get a full scoop of rice!

My BMP calamansi margarita was distinct in its tanginess. Tried the veggie lumpias and brussel sprouts. The lumpias had tangy dipping sauce that might have been dominated by calamansi.

Ordered the daing na bangus (milkfish) as my entree. They gave me the whole fish and it threw me off that it was mostly deboned since I kept looking for the bones with my tongue and teeth. Fish was nice and crispy and the dipping sauce was more savory than what came with the lumpias. The garlic rice that came with the dish was smoky from that wok hay. Probably could have used a little more soy sauce for flavouring. My favourite dish was the turon dessert (fried bananas) along with the ube ice cream. The coconut sauce they used seemed more like caramel. I haven't eaten much Filipino food so I wasn't sure how authentic the dishes were. I was expecting a little more intensity in the flavours, and I don't know if it was toned down for their customers. There were around ten customers that night. The inside was beautiful and they have a two level patio that is perfect for nights like these. The service was very nice and the kitchen was faster than I expected.
