Dinner in Kaka'ako, Honolulu, Hawai'i... My sister and I parked at the SALT parking structure where the first hour is free. We went to one restaurant which was too crowded and noisy, so we left. I looked at my Yelp app and found Okome. It's on the ground level - and it used to be Redfin. Inside, Okome was clean, spacious, and bright. We were able to choose our own table and order from the tablet. Service was very pleasant and friendly. Our water glasses were filled without our asking. We shared the: 1. shoyu garlic chicken wings with fries - they were just okay. 2. Okome Tendon - a tempura bowl - with a bed of rice. My sister ate most of this and liked it. 3. Tempura udon - I liked it! Three pieces of Tempura were served on the side - shrimp, sweet potato, and pumpkin. 4. Mandoo (6-pieces) - crispy on the outside and glass noodles on the inside... yummy! Overall, a great experience!
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.
Decent tendon and a good option in SALT. Came here on a weekend and there were people doing takeout, as well as a couple of other tables sitting, but it was easy to get in. You order everything on tablets. The tempura was decent and crunchy, but not the best tempura I've had (high bar in Hawaii though!). Would come by again if I was hungry and at SALT, but wouldn't seek it out.
The ginger ahi and spicy salmon combo was mayjaahhh. Okome's poke is fresh and packed with flavor and served over a bed of rice ($1.00 more for sushi rice). You can dine in or order to go using the kiosks on the left hand side of the entrance.
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!
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.
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.
Amazing, simple but not simple. First the environment is very cozy and welcoming but spacious. Everything in my bowl tasted amazing the spicy pork has a nice kick to it but it's not overly spicy, the kimchi was good too. The sukiyaki meat was nice and juicy, not dry or chewy. Can't wait to try all of their other delicious items!! Also they have good chopsticks lol Thank you
Reasonably priced bowls! Easy to order. Just order at your table with the tablet. Our orders came out quickly! Trendy izakaya vibe!
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.
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.
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!
- 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.
First time trying here and I thought it felt nice and cozy! You first step in and ordered on a tablet and then self seat. No server but the workers call your name when your food is ready. There is also self service water in the back corner. Overall, it's like marugame udon with a wider variety of menu and self service. Nothing to complain :) 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
Fast, easy, convenient, and tasty! Tempura is nicely seasoned and crispy. Food is no fuss, good and satisfying. Service is fast and friendly. Restaurant is clean and newly remodeled. read more

First time trying Okome today. It was very easy to place order on the iPad when you walk in. The food was ready very quickly and the staff was so friendly and helpful. 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. Hope it gets busier and they are successful! read more

The food is so good here! Our family of 6 each chose something different. Udon, poke and tempura were so good. The ahi katsu was also great. You order at the kiosk and the food is ready in a flash. All made to order. We also tried the house bottled coffee, strawberry coconut (dairy free) and yuzu sparkling drink. They were all refreshing and perfectly sweetened. Parking is available in the Stix structure and they validate. We will definitely be back soon. Still thinking about that sesame dressing on the cabbage salad. Yum! 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

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've really loved everything Ive tried so far at Okome. You order on a tablet near the front and service is pretty fast. Their tempura is always nice and crispy. I do think it's pretty expensive (still comparable to other options in the area), but the quality is good. Lots of seating available if you want to dine in as well. read more

Went for their soft-opening! It's a self-ordering system so it is very efficient. Had a minor issue with one of their additional topping not popping up on the screen, but they were able to give it to us and I'm sure it will be resolved the next time I come. The food was AMAZING!! I got the Steak Tendon and my bf got the Ahi Lover Tendon. Steak pieces were nicely cooked, tempura was crispy and flavored nicely. Rice quality was crazy good; nice sticky texture and I believe they put vinegar and tempura sauce on it to flavor it? The ahi lover came with some ahi katsu with a really tasty sauce on it. The poke was also refreshing. I really enjoyed the cold ginger garlic sauce that I got as an additional topping (I had it on the side and dipped my tempura and steak in it). I think it would even be cool to use that sauce with a poke to make a cold ginger poke, it's so good! The prices match the quality and the taste, it's so worth it! Will definitely be back in the future. read more

I did takeout and not dine-in. As shown, the 3 main rice dishes were on the dry side. Chicken karaage was a side dish; the meat was nice and moist, but a little too salty. Since this shop is still new, I will give it a second chance. read more

Disappointed. They encourage self order but not everything is on the menu. And when at the order counter took a while for someone to help us. Ordered a bowl with tempura and spicy ahi w/garlic chips (they forgot my garlic chips had to go back and let them know) Also ordered TWO ORDERS OF CHICKEN KARAAGE but but got what is pictured. When I asked if it was two orders cashier said "yes, 3 pieces for one ordered" pieces so small lookin like popcorn chicken. Fish was fresh but I wouldn't pay $36. I can get better tempura elsewhere. read more

a very pleasant surprise! i didn't have super strong expectations because i felt the kapolei location was just ok but this is genuinely some of the best tempura i've had on island, Tempura Kiki in Stix Asia was my go-to and i would actually say this place rivals that one at a better price and more convenient location. i got the okome tendon which imo has the perfect assortment of veggies, all my favorites, plus a shrimp and an egg. my husband got the yakiniku bowl and a side of spicy ahi poke and he really loved all of it too. i did try some of his and personally i would say the spicy ahi poke was actually lacking a bit in flavor but im not going to count it against this place because i really came here for tempura and they really delivered. if i had one more extra suggestion it would be that i wish the tendon did come with a side of tempura dipping sauce other than just what's drizzled on but again it was still really delicious, light and flavored just right, not really heavy or oily like a not so good tempura place would be. read more

I love that you order on an iPad, take a seat, and then they'll call your name when your food is ready. The poke is really good and fresh. They have different things like poke bowls, tempura bowls, udon, etc. The chicken karaage side is a MUST. It's so good. read more
