The poke bowl was good, and the protein tasted incredibly fresh. Service was remarkably fast. The location was very clean and well-maintained. The protein portions felt very small, especially when compared to the amount of rice provided. I definitely wish the protein-to-rice ratio was a bit more balanced. The miso soup fell a bit flat--it was on the saltier side and lacked overall depth of flavor. A great spot if you want a clean environment and quick service with fresh ingredients, but don't expect heavy portions on the protein. read more

i've been meaning to try okome don for a while after hearing so many positive reviews, but it was pretty underwhelming. i got a regular bowl with three scoops of protein for about $13 after tax, but the portions felt really small. they even scooped some protein out after "giving me too much," which was kind of frustrating. the poke bowl came with a side of miso soup that just tasted like water, and the spicy soy sauce wasn't spicy at all; it was actually rlly sweet. i do appreciate their more unique protein options tho! it's cool that they offer things like unagi, yellowtail, and surf clam, and having sushi rolls on the menu is a nice touch too maybe i just came on an off day, but it didn't live up to the hype for me :/ read more

Poke place at Chinatown. Their price is reasonable in this economy. I got a regular size bowl. It came with 3 scoops of protein. I like their options of sauce. The bowl tasted good. Their service was wonderful. The store was clean and cozy. I highly recommend this place. read more

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. read more

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! read more

LOVEEEEEE the poke here!! At Okome Don, they give you the option to pick from 3 different proteins (I usually get salmon, shrimp, and crab meat) for only like 11 bucks bro!!! There is a larger one with like 5 scoops, but I usually just get the 3 scoop :D They have a variety of different sides that you can add into your poke like edamame, avocado, corn, green onion, fried onion, etc etc! Every poke order (or order in general idk) comes with a complimentary miso soup, which is such a nice touch with the poke! All of the times that I have gotten poke here, was amazing! The quality is fresh and always tastes great! Always has me wanting more LOL!!! Every time I've come here as well, there was almost always no line at all so I was able to order fairly quickly and get my food fast! read more

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. read more

Okome Don - Spicy scallop hand roll - Poke Near Me - Houston, Texas

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! read more

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. read more

Okome Don - Poke bowl - Poke Near Me - Houston, Texas

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. read more

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! read more

The staff is horrible. Without a single customer inside, the staff did not answer how the whole system works. It is either training or total lack of concern on customer service. Ordering a 12 dollar bowel should not be this frustrating and insulting to the customer. I goto the plaza once a week and frequent the other restaurants. This will be my first and last time. read more

even when the trend ended a long time ago, i find myself coming back to this place for poke. it's just that good! you can customize your bowl and the price is incredible considering how generous the portions are. you also get free complimentary miso soup, which is just as delicious as the poke. the owner is also very friendly :-) read more

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.

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! read more

Wow! My first review of this place did not age well. I'd like to say this this place has grown on me drastically. From the quality of the food, the value, all the way down to the service, everything is executed perfectly. This poke place offers a wide variety of options to choose from, and many items that places would typically charge extra(masago, and avocado) come to you free of cost. Which is absolutely incredible considering their inexpensive offering: $10.95 for 3 scoops of protein, $14.55 for 5 scoops... AND you get free miso soup. You'd think that with those kind of prices, the portions must be small right? Wrong! They do not skimp on their portions. Okome Don provides amazing value, for the quality that they put out. The protein, sides, & veggies are consistently fresh just as the service is consistently hospitable. I highly recommend visiting this mom n pop poke restaurant. It's run by an older Japanese gentleman who definitely deserves the support. read more

Very reasonably priced poké here, but I wouldn't say it's my favorite spot. However, I have always had great service, which is a huge plus! The shop is clean and well-kept. Great place to come if you're in a pinch! I had a large 5 scoop protein: half and half base with yellowtail, scallop and tuna. Poke mates: tofu, edamame, cucumber and green onion. Sauce: house ponzu, sides: seaweed salad and oshinko. I will say that they are VERY generous with their poke mates and toppings, too! read more

Okome Don is my favorite poke spot in all of Houston! It is one of the only places that offers unagi as a protein and the large bowl is 5 scoops of protein compared to other places like Pokeworks which offers 3, and there's no up-charge for salmon or select proteins, which other places have recently started. Each bowl comes with a hot cup of miso soup and they offer sushi happy hour from 4-8pm daily! The owner is always very friendly and welcoming! The space is pretty big inside with adequate seating for groups and smaller parties. I usually grab a bubble tea or dessert nearby and pick up a bowl for lunch or dinner before hitting the tollway! read more

I came here with some friend and this place was really good! Service was quick and ambiance was nice. There are plenty of toppings and proteins to choose from. I will say that when I asked if their sushi rice had Mirin in it, the chefs weren't sure so I opted for brown rice just to be safe (we do not consume alcohol). read more

Delicious food, amazing service, and price is totally worth it. Definitely my favorite poke place to go to.

Pretty good poké served here at Okome. Thanks for being the one and only poké restaurant in Chinatown. Scoop was little smaller than other restaurants, but sufficient for my need I was looking for a quick bite at this unknown strip mall next to Sterling Square. Since Sandong Noodles and Parisian were closed on Monday, I had to do some thinking. Poké sounds good for a snack in a lazy Labor Day afternoon. I saw how to order from outside window. I walked in and greeted by a friendly employee. He gave me a quick tour of ingredients. My base was just mixed greens. Proteins are just familiar ahi, salmon and tuna. I chose spicy shoyu as dressing. It came out pretty with sesame seeds and seaweed topping. Poké tasted fresh but dressing on mixed greens made the whole dish saltier than I can handle. Best way to distract my taste buds is reading those Yelp reviews. I'll try something different next time, perhaps with rice. read more

Great poke place in chinatown! I always drove by this place but finally decided to go in and give it a chance. They have a decent menu for people who aren't sure what to get. I did notice they have more fish options than most poke places that I've been to which was great and they give you more scoops of it, and options to choose protien for a regular size bowl. The fish tastes fresh. I do wish they had more side options as well like fried garlic, or other vegetable/fruit options also. Overall I like this place and they are super friendly! Great to have friends come together and you can always take to-go, they're really quick! read more

Honestly one of the best poke places I've tried! Although it does not have as many options as other places I've been - the quality and taste is what matters. Okome don is that place whenever I crave poke. The portions are good & it also comes with a free miso soup. I always order a spam musubi whenever I go also! The owner is super sweet and friendly. It's always pretty quiet whenever we go - I feel like most people order to-go but I hope this place gets more love that it deserves! read more

We tried to like the place but ultimately were disappointed. Average food, decent portion, bad service. We swung by around 5pm-ish for an early dinner and the establishment was empty, understandable since it was pre-dinner rush. Anyhow, the server glared at us walking in as if he didn't want us there. Weird, but I brushed it off. It was our first time here and we asked a few questions to have a better understanding of the menu, in which we received super short and not very informative responses. How does this place have 4.5 stars? I hope it's not the service. In short, you choose a base, 3 or 5 proteins, toppings, and sauce. All bowls are served with complementary miso soup. Let me tell you what's in my bowl: - Base: half and half of sushi rice and salad - Proteins: I went with the 3-protein combo of shrimp, unagi, and salmon. Proteins were fresh and well marinated - Sauce: spicy Mayo and it's actually spicy! - Toppings: green peas, tamago, red onions, corn, seaweed salad, sesame seeds, and dry seaweed flakes. Again, the server was super distracted and somewhat rude. Every time he asked us what protein/toppings we wanted, we had to repeat each ingredient twice because otherwise he would not remember. Overall all the ingredients are fairly fresh and portion is alright (not sure how everyone thinks they're super generous because you can still see spots of rice on my bowl). We would definitely not come back anytime soon. read more

It was my first time coming here & I look forward to coming back! The workers were kind, and were patient with my friend & I since we were new to the place. The regular size lets you pick 3 scoops of protein choices, and the large size lets you pick 5 scoops of protein choices (I admit, this confused me at first). Because of this, I feel like you get a lot for the price. Overall, I was quite satisfied, great service and amazing food! read more
