Came here and got two regular bowls to-go. First, the differences between this place and other poke restaurants: customization and portions. The regular bowl includes 3 scoops of protein for $10.50, while most places only give you two. This allows for more variety, though the scoops are definitely smaller and end up adding to what would be two scoops at another poke restaurant. I really like that this place offers such unique proteins and toppings though. I got a base of sushi rice with red snapper, octopus, and scallop. If I could change anything, I wouldn't have gotten the scallop, as it had a fishier taste than I was expecting. I went to town on the toppings, most of which are free: avocado, sweet corn, edamame, tofu, seaweed salad, tamago, kimchi, and seaweed strips. I got the coconut ginger sauce. I loved that the bowl came with a free cup of miso soup. Overall, I did not feel as full as I usually do at poke restaurants, but the difference is only slight. However, I feel like this place is also a bit cheaper than others, which I have found to run closer to $12 before tax and tip. I would definitely come here more often if I lived closer! read more

Okome Don - Two regular poke bowls on sushi rice with complimentary miso soup. - Poke Near Me - Houston, Texas

One of the latest poke places on Bellaire. Located in Chinatown near Sinh Sinh. Spacious parking and usually this place isn't too packed except maybe around lunch time. The inside isn't too big with a good amount of tables to sit. There are two sizes to pick from, 3 scoops or 5 scoops of proteins. The 5 scoops size can be equivalent to two meals for me so 3 scoops should be sufficient. The base includes salad, white rice, or brown rice. You can also choose the half and half for the base. My go-to proteins are the octopus, salmon, and unagi. I especially like their octopus because it has a crunchy taste, different from what I had before. In addition, they also have your usual poke toppings, a lot of variety you can choose from. With your order also come with a bowl of miso soup. I'm not a fan of the miso soup because the broth has a bit of a watery taste. This place is self-served. You can get your utensils and water on the right side of the cashier and the miso soup will be given to you once you're seated. Overall, friendly service from the staff. Not much can be said since it's a self-served place. Nice atmosphere since it is usually not crowded. A good lunch spot to grab poke if you're in the area. It has become my favorite poke place on Bellaire. read more

Poke and miso were excellent!! Everything was so fresh. Staff was friendly and great service!

What a delicious lunch! The place is clean, the food was fresh, and the employees were very friendly and patient! Next time I go I will post a picture! I will definitely be returning there again and again. read more

Absolutely incredible quantity & quality. During this time of the 2020 Quarantine, we are all working together to keep small businesses alive. Last night, I finally decided to give this place a try. I am so glad I did. There were so many protein options, no limits on add-ons, everything was fresh, and I didn't have to wait. Free miso soup, something I did not expect. The owner (I assumed) told me just to come inside and order next time instead of 3rd party/online for a discount. I will be back next week, sir! read more

Okome Don - Poke Near Me - Houston, Texas

Honestly my favorite spot for Poke in Houston. The interior is always clean and the service is great. The fish is super fresh and you don't have to pay extra for seaweed salad unlike some other places. There's also complimentary miso soup which pairs very well with the poke. No complaints! read more

Went here cause I was craving some poke with a couple friends. Food was good and fresh, but it was a bit pricier than normal poke and they give smaller topping portions. Of what I could eat, the salmon was very good and the entree came with some free miso soup! They even gave it to my friends who didn't buy anything. It was also my first time trying the sweet egg topping and I would definitely order it again next time I eat poke. However, one lady (who I think could be in charge) had a very sour attitude to us. Never made eye contact, never asked if we needed anything else, etc. Really, she only asked "what size bowl?" and "it is $11.." Didn't feel like she really cared if we were there or not. Overall, 3/5. Fresh protein and toppings with additional miso soup, but small portions and poor service. read more

My first time trying poke. I wanted sushi but the others in my group didn't, so I surrendered, but I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that eating poke is pretty much like eating a decomposed sushi roll. The regular option is 3 scoops of your base for $10.99, and you can mix & match the bases and proteins. The toppings are unlimited, as well. I ordered a bowl with a sushi rice base, & I selected crab meat as the protein. With that I ordered cucumber, avocado, green onion, kimchi, carrots, and spicy mayo sauce. He suggested also throwing in their house spicy soy sauce as it's a popular choice with spicy mayo, so I said go for it! All of the aforementioned still came out to $10.99 which I thought was awesome. On top of that, I sat down and they delivered miso soup to us, which was when we found out that it's complimentary. Pretty amazing, honestly. The food was so good & ridiculously fresh. Also throwing it out there for the veggie lovers, 2 of my sisters are vegetarian and they still found an awesome variety that was easy to work with. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Confessions of a first time mom: It may be in the low 40s right now, and I may have experienced some hail driving down here, but when you have childcare and some time to yourself, any day is glorious! I have been dying to try Okome Don, but since is the "Year of Take Out", I put trying it out on hold since I always believed raw fish should be eaten fresh. Indeed, I am glad I waited until this moment. First off, I have to say that I am happy to see that poke restaurants are so on trend. Back in 2010, when I traveled to Hawaii, I remember going to one of their famous poke spots and wishing that poke was in Houston. Now you can't escape poke! Okome Don is set up just like most poke spots in city. The restaurant is clean and more minimalistic but contemporary. It's a Chipotle style concept where you get in line and load up your bowl as you please. For approximately $14, you get 5 scoops of fish. I chose fresh tuna, albacore tuna, salmon, unagi, and yellowtail on a bed of spring mix and brown rice. I was then able to add in all sorts of veggies. Thank goodness they don't charge extra for avocado here! That's a huge plus! I load my bowl with avocado, green onion, red onion, edamame, carrots, cucumbers, seaweed salad, and fried onion. It was tossed with spicy mayo and soy sauce. As I sat down, a waiter came to my table and offered me complimentary miso soup. It was a nice gesture on this cold day. As I took my first bite, so many warm and pleasant memories of my time in Hawaii came rushing back. The fish and veggies were incredibly fresh! Combined with the lightness of the sauce it was even better than I imagined it to be. I'll definitely make a return trip! read more

Food is fresh and delicious. Customer service is outstanding. This is my favorite Poke place in all of Houston.

Delicious, fresh, clean. Super nice staff. Will drive drive from Missouri City for quality poke.

Best place for poké in Chinatown! The service and atmosphere here is A+. The portions are fair and they have unique ingredients that other places would charge extra for. Plus, they give you free miso soup with every order! I ordered a salad bowl with tuna and salmon. Both fish were fresh and soft, delectable bites! I will definitely come back to try the octopus. For the toppings I was surprised they had avocado and tofu at no extra charge!! All the others are your regular poke ingredients. I would definetely recommend the seaweed salad and kimchi as they pack a lot of flavor into your bowl. I got the House sauce and it was surprisingly not that strong. Not very salty or present, quite light. If you want more flavor I'd go for a different sauce. The inside itself is clean and spacious. read more

Solid place for poke. $10.50 for a three-protein bowl is as generous as you'll find, especially with free miso soup and no upcharge for premium ingredients such as avocado. The place itself is clean and stylish, the fish is fresh, and there's good variety on offer in both the proteins and other ingredients. read more

I was truly missing poke bowls since leaving Hawaii...and let me tell ya my yearnings were extremely satisfied! My only small gripe was I placed my order online and although I received a message that my food was ready I still had to wait for it to be prepared once I arrived. All was forgiven as soon as my tastebuds were in heaven. I'd be willing to say my coworkers were pleased with my happy mood after lunch. read more

One of the best poke bowls in Houston. All the ingredients taste fresh and delicious.

I love poke and I've tried many places around Houston , so far this one is the best . Prices are really good compared to other places. I haven't seen $10 bowl with 3 proteins in years until last night that I visited this location . The guy that helped us out was really nice, also they gave us free soup which was very tasty. The inside is very clean, no doubt I'll drive the 40 mins just for this poke. read more

Came on a Saturday for lunch and ordered a three scoops bowl of yellowtail, salmon and unagi with their special soy sauce. The staff took great precaution due to COVID-19 and had gloves and a mask on while assembling our bowl. The fish was fresh and the overall bowl was delicious. It's hard to find fresh Poke here but this definitely did it for us. 10/10 would come back again read more

Okome Don - Regular bowl, coconut water and complimentary miso soup. - Poke Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have been wanting to try this place and finally made it! They do not have pre-created options here and everyone has to make their own bowl. I like the set up and how simple it is, if you don't get it from the numbered steps on the wall in front of you, the stations transition simply and similar to that of a chipotle. I opted for a half and half brown and Sushi rice which was a different type of brown rice than I was used to but still really good. I was almost confused that I had only received Sushi rice. The fish was fresh and the portions a pretty decent size. The staff is friendly and accommodating and we got complimentary miso soup. The miso soup to me was a bit bland and could have used more miso. We also got musubi which was ok. The only issue I have is that I wish the tobiko and masago was transferred to the add ons station rather than considered a protein and at the protein station. I also wish they had more spicy options like jalapeños or made their spicy sauces a bit spicier since I got spicy mayo and spicy ponzu and neither one brought a kick. They do not have as many add on options as pokii eatery or diced poke but they have avocado at no extra charge as well as tofu and tamago add ins which I do not normally see. All in all the food was good, fresh, the restrooms were clean (probably the best one I have ventured into on Bellaire), and the staff was great! I will definitely be returning! read more

If Okome Don weren't miles away in Asiatown, I would probably eat there until I OD'ed on OD. By my estimation, probably the best poke in Houston, scoring highly in terms of both quality and value. The middle-aged gentleman behind the counter had what my wife described as a "soothing presence" as he prepared our bowls with warm suggestions and measured movements. For evidence of its supremacy among peers, look no further than its unreal protein selection: albacore, shrimp, salmon, scallop, red snapper, octopus, tuna, yellowtail, tobiko, crab meat, eel, surf clams. Okome Don is basically a poke joint with the heart of a sushi restaurant. I ordered a large bowl (5 scoops!) with hamachi, salmon, scallop, tuna, and unagi over spring mix salad, with a bunch of fixings including avocado, seaweed salad, pickled ginger, tofu, and tamago (sweet egg). For sauce, I went with house recommendation, which was a creamy, sweet, and savory mix with a hint of spice. I loved that it was flavorful but not overpowering. The yellowtail was by far my favorite, luscious and flavorful, with the salmon and fresh-and-potent scallops slotting in next. The eel had great taste but was surprisingly chewy and springy in terms of mouthfeel. The spring mix salad was acceptable, although I could have done without the fibrous stalks of kale. I hate kale with a vengeance. Rice is probably the move. In terms of value, you won't find a better bowl of poke in town. Less than $14 for 5 whopping scoops and FREE avocado - need I say more? Did I mention that it comes with a complimentary bowl of miso soup? Definitely adding OD to my regular rotation. read more

Been eyeing this place for the longest now and I finally decided to stop by a few days ago. One of the best decisions I ever made! It's Hawaiian/Japanese cuisine which is already intriguing. What really took it home though was the food and service! The server was super nice and really into the options they had available for their amazing poke bowls. The star of the show is the poke bowls themselves because of how much options you had and the unbeatable price! You had a base, 3 protein options, unlimited sides and great sauce options to put on top. My friend had a all vegetarian bowl and it was even cheaper because of that! Then the atmosphere itself was very modern and inviting. 10/10 would recommend and definitely stopping by again! read more

I swear i can not recommend this Poke Bowl spot enough if I could. The staff is so welcoming and calm spot to definitely chill and eat. I don't write reviews often but let y'all know this by far THE BEST Poke place out of 7 of them I've been around Katy and Houston. Here I feel they're just not stingy with your meat, it's always fresh and amazingly consistent in their quality. I always get the regular bowl and feel like I'll get there larger bowl next time but the regular one seems to feel me up enough that leaves me satisfied. Been here like around 20 times, to say the least LOL. I hope more people get to know this spot, never see it busy or packed and really wish this business success and still running because really it's the best one. I even come all the way from Rosenberg every time to get just this spots Poke. That should say enough. :) read more

Delicious poke option when you're in Chinatown and craving poke or sushi. I had the regular bowl half and half(sushi rice and salad) with tuna, salmon, and eel. Compared to other poke places, I thought the protein options were kind of limited. I wish they had a spicy tuna option. However, my protein picks were fresh and delicious, so I didn't deduct any points for that. The vegetable choices were awesome. No upcharge for avocado is what made the difference between this place being a 4 star or 5 star. You also get a free miso. It didn't have much in it, but it was free and tasty so I'm not complaining. The guy at the counter who made my bowl was super nice and explained every step thoroughly. I definitely appreciated that. He also told me about their text program so I can get some free food every 10 or so visits. Winning! read more

1. Service - Fast and Efficient. No servers, just a cashier, and working directly with the kitchen staff. This is an Assembly Line Style restaurant. Line up at the end of the line, look at the menu, and order what you want. Your plate will be passed on to different servers of different stations, and you pay at the very end before you sit. 2. Price - $10.50 for a bowl with 3 Scoops of Protein, or $13.95 for a bowl with 5 scoops Protein. 3. Ambiance - contemporary, dark, nice, and slick. Dress code here is casual. Great place for a hang out. 4. Food - According to staff, their most popular Protein choices are TUNA, SALMON, and YELLOWTAIL. I typically pick SUSHI RICE for my Base, and I like the SPICY POKE SOY as my Sauce choice. 5. Cleanliness - Clean dining area and restrooms. read more

Okome Don - Generous portions! Tastes amazing! - Poke Near Me - Houston, Texas

This was my third poke.Okome was the best so far.Okome is located in a center of Asian Town.If my memory is correct, there was a Vietnamese television station.Poke took over the television station??? I was not sure what Okome means.Okome sounds like rice (お米　おこめ）in Japanese. There were a lot of parking spots.Okome gave me two bowls which were either large or small.I picked up large.Okome has many fish, tuna, salmon, yellow tail, octopus, scallops etc.Then, they have many vegges and seaweeds.I paid around $14.It seemed to me that Okome has more fish and vegges than other poke restaurants in Houston. Again, this is the best poke in Houston. read more

One of my top go-to places for poke in Bellaire Chinatown. It's not usually crowded and the place is pretty clean, so I can get my food quickly for takeout. I haven't dine in yet but it's spacious for groups of people (4-6 people). They have a lot of choices to add on for free. Not that pricey for a regular/large bowl. I like to get spicy mayo salmon. They also give you a bowl of miso soup with your order. Service there is good; they're all nice. Overall would come back again~ read more
