Discovered this place by accident and it turned out to be pretty good. It's mostly a self service place where you order on multiple tablets on front counter and side wall and you buss your own plates. You can also order in person on an adjacent counter. They said they will call your name when your order is ready but someone brought mine to my table after asking my name. This place is clean and welcoming. It is well lit and there is ample seating. The air conditioning works great. My first impression of the menu was "looks interesting" because of the poke options. My second impression was "hmmm...slightly on the pricey side" when looking at the "Night Specials". I ordered on the tablet which was easy to navigate menus. My order came out in about 5 minutes which seemed quick. The staff working there are friendly and polite. But it's self service so don't expect them to check on you or take away your plates. I ordered the "Recommended" bowl called the Okome Tendon. This bowl includes Shrimp, mushroom, sweet potato, pumpkin, eggplant, shishito, nori and half egg and rice. The first thing I noticed when I bit into the shrimp tempura was how crispy and light the tempura batter was. It had a satisfying crunch. Same with the vegetables. No thick and soggy tempura. Everything tasted flavorful and fresh. The rice however was a bit mushy so I don't know if that was intentional like sushi rice. The portioning of the bowl was just enough to be satisfying but not enough for "kanak attack". There were a couple quirky things I noticed before leaving. One thing was when I disposed of my trash, I noticed the left hole of the trash counter didn't have a trash can underneath so trash was being dumped directly on the floor (see video) -oopsie! I heard earlier, there wasn't a trash can at all inside the place but it got added later. I guess they're still working out the bugs. The other quirk was getting parking validation. The QR codes for the Metropolis parking was on a couple of loose sheets of paper on the counter (one for discount and the other for the parking App). If I didn't think to look for it after my meal, I could have easily walked out. I wish the parking validation was mentioned up front when making the order or receiving the order. Maybe they should post the parking QR code on every table? Yes, I'll be back to try other menu items like poke. Overall, was a pretty good experience but has room for improvement. read more

This new place took over the redfish poke space in the SALT complex. It's super ono! I got the volcano bowl with ahi, which is basically a two type poke bowl with one piece of shrimp tempura. It was delicious and the tempura batter was bomb. Rice was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Portion was a bit small for the price ($20) imo, but it was enough food for me. The space is nice and clean and I liked that you could order self-serve through an iPad or with the host. Food came out quick and service was friendly. There's plenty of seating inside, but I opted to eat outside at one of the shaded tables in the courtyard. Def worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Tempura bowl place located at SALT. I've noticed more places that have the Japan style ordering at a kiosk opening up. There's 2 pads you can order when you first come in with menus right there. Pretty simple. After ordering go grab a seat. It's is nice, clean airy place with ample table seating and at the bar. Even has butt pads on the wooden bench seats! There's 2 counters- one in the front in case you'd like to order face to face and I guess any requests. The counter in the back is where you pick up your food, drinks, utensils and water. They'll call your name when the food is ready. You bus your own table. Apparently other yelpers have said that trash can is outside but that must have changed because there is a trash can and a place to put your tray in front. Staff is very nice and welcoming. Now for the food... We both ordered the Okame bowl with various tempura-shrimp, mushroom, sweet potato, squash and 1/2 soft egg all on rice. We asked to hold off on a lot of sauce so I can't tell you if it's usually sauce-y. IMO, the portion of tempura was on the smaller size but was nice and light, not too greasy. You could add miso soup to make it a combo but we didn't The rice was nice- not mushy. The menu also offers poke bowls or poke/tempura combos. Those cost more, the the $20 range. We also tried the canned drinks $4.50. I had the mint latte- not much mint taste to it, it was okay. Hubby had the sparkling yuzu. We both liked it a lot- citrusy and refreshing- we'd get that again. We left full and satisfied but we're small eaters, ones with bigger appetites will find the portions small. read more

Okome opened their second location at Salt Kakaako late last year featuring their authentic tempura rice bowls known as tendon. On the menu, they offer a variety of tendon and fresh poke bowls as well as udon. You can either order at the self-service ipads or put in your order with the staff. The service was great and the staff was very helpful and friendly. I opted for the volcano bowl which was great, but I did think the sushi rice could have been tastier. There is plenty of booth and table seating making this casual eatery a great choice at Salt! They are open Monday through Saturday from 10:30am to 8pm and on Sundays from 10:30am to 6pm. read more

Newish spot at SALT. There's been a few turnovers in this specific store so hopefully, they stay long-term. Food - 5/5 Ambiance - 5/5 Service - 10/5 We came out on a Sunday and didn't realize they were closed already. We walked in 10 min past closing. But they allowed us to order for take out. Much Mahalo! The inside is clean and inviting. Ordering is easy via self order kiosk. Food is great. Service is even better. As you guys know, some establishment would not entertain guests after hours and for some that do, they may give you an attitude. Well the staff here were graceful and accommodating. This is definitely the Aloha spirit and it is much appreciated!! Food is great as well. We tried a few items including the Hawaiian tendon. One caveat is if you get it for take out, eat it ASAP as the tempura may get soggy. For best experience, just get it for dine in or eat it at one of the out door seating areas at SALT. The food was tasty and poke fresh. We'll definitely come back! read more

This is a great place to go to when you don't need anything fancy. Actually, now that I think about it, I can't really review this place because it has "Poke" in the name but I didn't try the poke. But I did try their tendon (tendon in Japanese, not in English). Well, no I didn't try that either - I ended up with sukiyaki kimchi udon and sweet potato tempura which hit the spot perfectly. I like to think it counts as tendon because udon has -don in it but... You order and pay at a kiosk. They call your name when your order is ready and you go grab your tray and can sit wherever you want inside to eat your food. There's water that you can serve yourself, and you throw away your own trash. The tables and wooden chairs are very solid and sturdy. Honestly, I am enamored of places like that - very self-service but good hot food. They also have plastic-can coffees from O'ahu Coffee Roasters available to purchase with your order. I was not expecting that! Was a special treat. read more

This tendon and poke spot is located at Salt Kakaako. It took over the space that was Redfish. It's a self service restaurant. You order at the kiosk right when you walk in. They call your name when your food is ready and you pick it up at the counter. We got the Hawaiian Tendon with ginger ahi $24.75 plus a piece of fried oyster $2, Sukiyaki Udon $12.75, chicken karaage $3.75 and a can of Oahu Coffee Vanilla Latte $5. The sukiyaki udon was excellent. The broth was perfect. The rice in the tendon bowl was room temperature. The ahi poke was fresh and so good. The tempura items weren't as crispy as I'd like. The bottom on the tempura items were probably soggy from sitting on the rice. The fried oyster on the other hand was really crispy. It was panko breaded instead of using the tempura batter. It was my first time trying the Oahu Coffee in a can. The vanilla latte was just right and I liked it. It comes in other flavors that I want to try one day. read more

I went here once during their soft opening. On my second visit today, the quality seems to have gone downhill. Okome makes tendon and poke bowls with a self-service concept where you order on a tablet and pick up your food. I like the convenience and the quick service. There's plenty of seating for dine-in. My first visit I got the tendon and shoyu poke bowl. I was surprised by how crispy the tempura stayed even though we did take out. I thought it was a pretty good flavor and portion for the price. This time, I got the same thing but with spicy ahi. The tempura was noticeably more soggy and oily than last time. The shrimp was overcooked, which was sad cause it's a nice big shrimp. The poke was also a smaller portion, but the last straw was a long strip of fish that looked like it was cut partially into cubes but not fully. I expect more attention to quality especially for this price. It's too bad that the food that had me coming back here a second time was not up to par this time. read more

Decided to finally check this place out since I work near by. Interior is clean and I appreciate the self-ordering area. I received my order quickly. I got the Wasabi Masago Ahi poke bowl. The fish quality was good, but I have to say the menu photo is a bit deceiving... The menu photo makes it seem like you'll get a hefty scoop of tobiko, but there was barely any tobiko in my poke bowl... and the "wasabi" flavor was totally absent. Little disappointed considering the price. read more

- recommend trying - Service The ordering system is a mix of modern and minimal: you place your order on an iPad at the entrance, though there's also someone at the counter who can take orders. Beyond that, there aren't additional servers, so the experience leans toward self-service. Food The food was good overall, though my perspective comes with a bit of bias from having tried Tendon Kohaku in Washington state. What makes this spot unique is the option to add poke -- salmon, tuna, or hamachi. I went with the spicy salmon poke, since salmon is my favorite for both poke and sushi. * The tendon itself was tasty, and considering Oʻahu doesn't have many tendon-focused restaurants, it's refreshing to see one here. There's definitely room to grow, but the foundation is solid. * The cabbage salad and miso soup were both satisfying and balanced the meal nicely. * I do wish the poke portion was a little more generous, especially with the total coming out to nearly $30 without drinks or tip. * The rice could use some improvement in texture and flavor. * Overall food rating: 7.5/10. With a few tweaks, this place could really shine and become a standout. Ambiance Located in the heart of Kakaʻako near Moku, the restaurant is easy to access with both street parking and a garage that offers validation. The space itself feels clean and simple, but it could benefit from a bit more brightness and consistency. Music didn't start playing until more guests arrived, which made the earlier atmosphere feel a little quiet and flat. Keeping the vibe warm and welcoming throughout the day would help bring more of that aloha spirit into the dining experience. read more

I really liked it here! Everything was self-serve using iPads to order. When your order is ready they just call you up to pick it up. Lots of indoor seating and the interior was very clean and bright. The poke was actually really good and tempura was standard. I think if I come back I'd want to just eat more of the spicy ahi :o it was really good, and the fish tasted fresh. Really nice ambiance and they played good music lol I was just vibing. This is definitely my food place of choice now whenever I'm in SALT Kaka'ako. read more

We tried the tendon with ahi poke and the burrito. I wish the burrito had a sauce to accompany it because it felt like something was missing. Maybe just hot sauce for the general burrito experience? The poke add on was also kind of expensive for the amount given. Overall the food was good but we felt like it was on the pricier side and nothing particularly stood oit. Plenty of space to eat but also seems more like a takeout spot. My friend was able to get a cup of water but when I asked another person later I was told they had no water cups and she suggested I buy a can of water or if I had a reusable water bottle they could refill that. I had already bought a soda so don't really want to buy water. Being heavily pregnant my friend offered me his cup to get water. We decided we would just wrap up and get a drink else where. There is also no where to dispose of your trash within the restaurant so you throw things out in the garbage outside. read more

Okome - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Rice to see you... I've been patiently waiting for Okome as soon as I found out, they were taking over Redfish location at SALT. The wife been to the Kapolei location and the menu item seems identical how it is ordered is very different here in Kaka'ako. I'm sure you're able to place order at the service counter what's nice is they have a self ordering kiosk which is a nice option and I did so ordering my Poké bowl and knew exactly what I wanted as soon as I saw it, after placing my order, I casually walked in and was immediately greeted by a gentleman who asked if I had any questions to which I replied. I had placed my order and he said he will call my name when it's ready.. I ordered the Ginger Ahi which comes with white rice and I was told from the staff that is Japanese rice from Fukuoka that the painstakingly put many efforts into preparing this price. I was very excited as you can build your own Poké bowl as it comes basically with just the poke and rice and pickled ginger so with this, I opted to add ginger topping for an additional $2 which did bring the total pretty high to just under $20. The rice is actually prepared like sushi rice which honestly isn't how I like my poke rice but it was cooked perfectly topped with limu and the ginger ahi but that cold ginger onion really made it pop. Inside is very nice and spacious with lots of table seating and counter seats as well all nice and clean and brand new. They do not provide trash cans or bathrooms that would be using what SALT has. It's a very interesting. Minimal concept one that has been done in Japan for many years and hope that this works for them as it's different to have interaction with a staff but always a welcome spot in Kaka'ako. Thank you! read more

First thoughts were that this place was extremely clean and welcoming. I liked the ambience from the open seating, register, and even self-serve kiosks. This place is located in SALT. Parked in the structure at SALT Kaka'ako. The first hour of parking is free and any hour after that when you have to pay. Okome has a sign by the register to validate your parking for a cheaper rate if you plan to stay longer. There was a handful of people at around lunch time. We ordered on the self-service kiosk while someone else ordered at the register and then found a seat while we waited for our food. Waited about 5 minutes until we were called to pick up our food at the pick up counter. We shared a volcano bowl, which was tasty. I liked the sushi rice pairing with the fish, which tasted so fresh. The bowl was on the pricier side ($20 with tax), but worth it for the quality of food in the bowl. Trash was located outside of the restaurant, which was interesting but maybe that's why this place is so clean! I would recommend trying this place and would come again! read more

YOu know how sometimes you just see a picture of food and your mouth starts watering. This is one of those places. Just walking by makes you think, Wow! That look delicious! And it is. The ordering process is super easy. And there are even a couple of chairs in the back for you to wait for your order. There are several tables available for those who want to eat inside, but the outside tables are more fun on a sunny day. The tempura had an authentic Japanese tempura taste. The rice was fluffy, and there wasn't too much sauce. read more

I was really excited to try the newest spot in Kakaako! As soon as you enter, you'll see self-service tablets to order for dine-in or takeout (we chose takeout). I really appreciated the pictures on the menu, it made deciding on what to order much easier! I got the Volcano bowl which was spicy ahi and shoyu poke and 1 piece of shrimp tempura. My parents ordered the tendon and a regular spicy mayo ahi bowl. Overall the experience was good! Our poke bowls came out pretty fast and the person passing me the food was friendly. As for the food, the portions were on the smaller side. I thought the tempura was really good, but the poke was pretty average. The spicy ahi didn't have much flavor as some other spots on the island, and the shoyu poke was pretty salty the night we went (I had Hawaiian salt chunks in each bite). I liked that Okome uses fresh fish, but wasn't too impressed by the flavor of the poke. If I'm in a pinch I'd be back, because the overall experience was solid! read more

My husband and I were looking forward to this new spot opening up at SALT. With two young kids, we're always looking for casual eateries with good food. And THIS is good food. I love the different combination options of tendon and protein. My husband tried the steak tendon and I got the aburi salmon poké tendon. It was really hard to make up my mind because I wanted to try almost everything on the menu. I had to remind myself that we live nearby and can return whenever I want. All of the ordering is done by tablets so this minimizes staff. The one staff member I interacted with was super nice. read more

If you're craving legit tempura tendon, this spot delivers. The tempura is light, crispy, and not greasy at all--each piece perfectly fried with that delicate crunch that doesn't overpower the ingredients. The tendon sauce is just right: savory with a subtle sweetness that soaks into the rice without making it soggy. Portions are generous and filling without feeling heavy. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food came out hot and fresh. Simple menu, done really well. Definitely a go-to when I want comfort food that still feels high quality. Would absolutely come back. read more

I guess SALT could use a place like this. It's where the Redfin (?) poke used to be. Inside is spacious and glad we got there early so we could grab a booth and get our food fairly quickly. When we were leaving people were standing waiting for their orders. You order and pay at one of two tablets when you enter. Then they will call you by name to get your order when it's ready. Even when it's dine in, it's disposable bowls and utensils but there's no trash can inside the restaurant that I could find. I think there was a sign that said the trash was outside. So we finished eating and returned the trays but had to carry our bowls and utensils and napkins outside - this was the only off-putting part. Otherwise food was good, rice was good, my kimchi pork belly good, my tempura nice. It's a bit pricy but where isn't it these days? $23 for my bowl but my dining mate had veggie tendon which was in the teens. It'd be nice if they had free tap water to drink otherwise you have to pay $2 for bottled water. I think I'll be back if I'm in the mood for tempura for lunch. Nothing fancy but good enough. read more

Omg... this place was amazing. So glad they have this place at Kaka'ako. Reminds me of Tempura Ichidai that used to be at Ala Moana, similar, but sorry, I must say, not as good as Tempura Ichidai was, but still good! We came across this place on our way to the doggy store next door, disNbark, and we needed to decide what was for dinner. We parked on Highway inn side, so as we were walking through Salt, to disNbark, we spot this place... big poster of the delicious foods right outside caught our attention. Checked it out, and we decided, yeppp.. this is what we're gunna eat after the doggy store!!! Lol we were already pointing off the poster "ouuu I want that" "I want that" ... lol As you walk in, there were 2 iPads on the counter to place and pay for your order, and another 2 pads on the side as well. That was a plus for me, to order on your own, take your time, browse the menu, without anyone standing in the front of you waiting to decide or take your order. But they can also take your order as well and help you. Menus were clear, everything looked good on the menu. They have a selection of tendon bowls (tempura bowls), poke bowls, okome bowls, and udons and sides. I got a shrimp tendon (of course lol), wife got the okome, and my father in law got the volcano bowl. After placing order on pad and paying, they get your order, and call u when it's ready. Dining room was so spacious, plenty of seats for families or smaller tables for couples. You can either do take out or dine in. The employees were nice. The family booths were cool, felt like I was sitting on a hotpot lol. If u go and sit in, you'll know what I mean lol. We got our food. I've had crispier tempura at Ichidai, but u know what... it was still good, and this works and does its job. All tempura was good, opus were happy and full, and this place was just so attractive, clean, and good. Luckily, not busy cuz we were hungry, lol but I do hope they get busy and last business there for a long time! If u in the salt/kakaako area and need your tempura fix, go check this place out! read more

We just happen to be in the area (The Barn) for an event and walked by. I had very low expectations. First off, it's kind of self-service. Meaning, you have to order your food yourself. Once you find your seat, you'll need to get up to grab your food and utensils. I got the veggie tempura don and was pleasantly surprised. The flavor was good, the crisp was good, but maybe just a bit too much potato... but I guess that comes with the territory of ordering the veggie version. I got the kidlets udon and chicken, which they both ate. I really appreciated that they had, not one, but two highchairs. *whew* There is a parking structure for SALT. read more

Came here for lunch with a friend and ordered the Okome Tendon. Flavor wise, the food itself was good and the tempura was enjoyable, but a few things held the experience back for me. The biggest one was that it felt like there was not enough rice compared to the amount of toppings, which threw off the balance of the bowl. Another downside was the temperature of the food. It was not very hot when it came out, and I noticed the owner or manager taking photos of the dish for social media after it was already made. While I get the marketing side of it, it did seem to delay things a bit and probably contributed to the food cooling down. I was also a little disappointed with the egg. I was expecting a tempura egg, but it turned out to just be a boiled egg with tempura sauce on it. Not bad, just not what I thought I was ordering. The setup is convenient. You can order at the counter or use the iPad to place your order and then sit down. There is lots of seating inside and plenty of parking since it is located at SALT Kakaako, which is a huge plus for lunch. Employees were friendly and the space felt casual and clean. Overall, the food concept is solid and the flavors are there, but portion balance and food temperature need some improvement for it to really stand out. read more

Placing your order is through a self-ordering kiosk using their iPad. As for the food, it was alright. My friend and I got the island crunch that was almost $19 and it comes with spicy poke ahi, two pieces of ahi katsu, and one shrimp tempura. Portions felt a bit small for the price point. The spicy ahi was fresh, but I wish the sauce was a bit more spicy. It would've been nice if they had a self-serve water station instead of asking the staff for a cup. I probably won't come here again. read more

I love a good tendon bowl and was very excited for this one to open up but there were some things that bothered me. When you first enter, you can either order on the tablet or right around the corner is the cashier. The only downside about the tablet is that not everything on the menu is listed there....we wanted to try the "Good Moanin" Burrito but I couldn't find the listing so we decided not to get it which is unforunate for the restaurant. Once you paid, you can sit anywhere and wait for your name to be called so that you can grab your food at the pick-up counter We shared the Tendon/Spicy Hawaiian Ahi Bowl which had a decent amount of food for the both of us. We absolutely loved the freshness of the fish and would love to try the other flavors! The only thing is it didn't have any hint of spiciness. The tempura wasn't bad but it wasn't as crispy as we would have liked...I'm not sure if it's something I would like to order again. Aside from the food, the layout of the restaurant is very awkward: You have to dispose of your trash outside but would need to return the tray back at the pick-up counter which is on the other side of the restaurant. My boyfriend made a good point of another confusion where you wonder if it's cafeteria style or more of a dine-in restaurant. It would of been nice if someone could deliver our food and if they allowed us to leave our trays/trash on our table, which would ensure someone would clean up after us. The counter we were sitting at was very sticky and made us wonder if they could keep track of who sat where and are wiping down the areas. Overall, I would love to come back again and get their poke bowls! I just hope things become a little more efficient read more

Finally tried Okome now that they're in town at Salt in Kakaako. I had seen them in Kapolei, but never ate there. I ordered the beef udon with a piece of tempura on the side. I think it's a bit pricey, and it definitely felt like a soft opening, but the taste of the food was good! And the staff were friendly. Lots of open seating. You order at the front, sit down, then walk up to the counter to pick up your food. I'd like to see maybe more signage? And more options for beverages. They were even out of cups, so they couldn't give us water. That dashi was oishii though. read more

Tldr: Taste is exceptional, Ambiance is modern, Serving size small, Service minimal but polite. We were excited to eat here just from the ambiance and from the menu. Everything looked good to eat off the menu. We ended up getting the sukiyaki tendon and the salmon tendon. Although it was self serve, it was quite minimal for customer interaction. When reciving it though, it was underwhelming. The taste was soo good but as for the size, it was really disappointing as after one scoop of rice, you could see the bottom. Considering the price, it was small for $50 bucks, it was a nice experience for taste but if you are expecting a deal with the food, I'd think go somewhere else. read more

The restaurant is very nice and clean! The sukiyaki udon was very tasty and I enjoyed that the broth was really hot! I ordered tempura egg on the side and thought I was ordering a boiled egg but it was a tempura fried tamagoyaki. I probably wouldn't order it again. Friend ordered the salmon poke and said it was the perfect portion and tasty and would order it again. It was pretty empty when we went a little after 12pm.

It's a new spot here in SALT. We've had take out from here and the tendon was delicious.

This venue has replaced the old Red Fish poke shop. What's cool is the setup is cafeteria style and the space looks very open now. The self service kiosk is very intuitive and fast. The menu items are a little pricy, but I get it since the restaurant is located in a prime location. A good spot for kids since the food comes out fast and everything is served in disposables. Kids are allowed to be loud if needed since loud music is playing on the speaker anyway. The food itself was ok. The tempura was not super crispy/flaky, but the vegetables and shrimp were cooked to the proper doneness. The udon was to be expected with your everyday dashi broth. Customizing the soup with tempura, ginger, and green onion is a nice option but they don't give a whole lot. Personally I prefer Marugame, but the location is close to home. Parking is probably easier compared to Waikiki. And 7Gradi gelato is nextdoor! read more

I think next time I will sit in because I'm sure the tempura will taste even better! My family ordered the shrimp tempura bowl (which came with shrimp, squid, and vegetable tempura). The batter was light and didnt taste oily...even if we had to take it home to eat. I think the only thing I would change if anything is the rice. The rice was unfortunately a bit hard, but the main items of the dish were good so we still enjoyed it. We also ordered the tempura upon and takoyaki. The upon was a little salty but the noodles were cooked very well! I would still eat it and maybe add a bit of hot water to make it less salty. I think overall I'm sensitive to salt so I notice it pretty quickly. And the takoyaki was a great side. No complaints there! If you are in the Kaka'ako area and are looking for tempura, definitely come here. Support the small businesses and enjoy your food! read more
