    Mochi
    Vanessa Y.

    Had my fair share of inari pockets but this was the first time having an inari pocket with an entire mochi filling! There's no rice whatsoever so you can really taste the sweetness of the inari pocket; paired with the chewy texture of the mochi YUM!

    In my opinion, Vancouver needs more inarj places! Sushi Tree is quite far from us, and sometimes we would go to H-Mart for our inari fix. But this place is pretty great and they have freshly-made to order inari pockets. They're quite filling, so I think the pricing was reasonable. Salmon, tuna, and scallops are always my staples. We also got a milk tea to go with our food. All in all, glad there's another inari option in greater Vancouver and I've never had inari pockets made on the spot!

    I heard about this place from instagram and finally had a chance to visit here. We have to do touch panel order. what I ordered were: Aburi salmon, Scallop and ikura, Salmon and ikura, shoyu butter salmon, and hamachi toro. Hamachi toro was the highlighand texture was fatty, nicely torched and flavor was great. Then, Aburi salmon was good, it also nicely torched and a lot of salmon on the top. Shoyu butter salmon was also great. Shoyu and butter matched so well as usual. Scallop and ikura and Salmon and ikura were very solid menu, the ingredients were so fresh and texture was very crispy , I really liked them. Rice was a bit soft, but it was ok, size was also decent. Overall, I highly recommend this place. Only problem is the location, I wish they will make the second location in Vancouver or Burnaby. This place will be my regular to go place for sure.

    Delicious!! I got the salmon trio and the portion size and flavour was perfect. You order at the front and pay first, and then they bring out the food to you. I was full after eating three pieces, not overly full but just right. I do think the price is on the higher side though.

    Since Steveston is quite a drive for me, I ALWAYS stop by Okome when I am in the area. Fried Tofu Pockets ‍ Seasoned Rice Check out @heyokome for some Inari! It means "loaded with rice", so yes, you get some well seasoned tofu pockets that are stuffed and quite literally loaded with rice. Then, you too it off with your favourite fresh ingredients like you would for sushi. I'm not in Steveston very often, but whenever I am, it's a just to stop by Okome. They have a variety that ranges from $3.50 to $6.00. I personally enjoy their TRIOS, which range from $13-$16 depending on the set you get. They also have other items, such a don, udon, salads, sashimi, and a huge drink menu as well! Everything is well seasoned and delicious! However, I did realize this time that the fillings feel a little less stuffed but there was way too much rice. My faves; ($15.49 for a TRIO) Aburi Trio (unagi, scallop, salmon) Shoyu Butter Trio (butter corn, scallop, salmon) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside and clean and spacious with lots of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service can take a little longer depending on when you go. But overall, they try to make it efficient with the self pay machines. They recently introduced mochi filled ones too and I would love to go back and try.

    Hamachi Trio + Spicy Mayo Trio
    Hubert Y.

    So fresh and delicious! Had the Spicy Mayo Trio -- a little bit of everything, and the Hamachi Trio -- loved it! The Bara Chirashi Don -- is a delicious option if you're not feeling Inari. I love the self serve ordering system, perfect for introverts like me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is small, two tables of 2, a table of 4, and counter by the window fits 5.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Seems like most peeps order ahead and grab stuff to go.

    Wow I really like this place! I stopped by last night before going back to the states. There were no customer, just us. This place was on my to-go list as it's one of the newer joints I've never been. I had a chance to talk to the person in charge and the chef who were very pleasant and provided about ingredients they use with recommendation which helped us decide what to get. Inari sushi with variety of ingredients on top. Inari is fried thin bean card that's slightly sweet cooked with soy sauce and sugar. Rice is mixed with vinegar that's slightly sour. The combination of inari and sushi rice with fresh fish is unthinkable deliciousness. I had aburi salmon, Ikura & scallop and eggs thinking it will be too much for me that I can't eat too much rice. However to my surprise, I finished all I ordered. They were so delicious!! I liked the aburi the most. The ingredients including the fish were very fresh. They assemble after ordering. This is not well known yet but it will be popular for sure. Will come back!!

    Classic combo
    Suanne L.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small store near Steveston with some dine-in seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's an option for ordering by yourself on a tablet, and another option to order at the counter which would be nice when there's a longer line-up. I noticed that if you dine-in, they only give you the lid of the take-out boxes to save boxes I'm assuming which wasn't a big deal. We ordered a 3pc aburi sushi combo (aburi salmon, eel, scallop) and a 3pc classic combo (salmon, tuna, chopped scallop) - both were around $15 each. For the aburi - it was very flavourful and enough toppings for every bite. There was still some torched flavours even though the sushi itself had cooled down by the time I ate it. Fish and scallops in the classic combo were fresh. Seasoned quite well and the rice was also cooked well where it wasn't mushy. I really like the idea of using inari pockets to keep everything together - very innovative! Everything tasted as it should. Went for dinner, but would've been a better option for lunch as I was not full with 3pcs and probably needed at least 5 and I have a small appetite. Thinking about that, it's a bit pricy for what you're getting; I would need to spend $25-30 to be full!! If I lived in the area, I would probably visit more frequently but not a place I would go out of the way for.

    Here is my honest review about Okome. I have tried other places like Sushi Tree which has a similar concept. With Okome, they do the ratio for toppings and rice more equally while other inari sushi places uses too much rice. Having less rice balances the flavour which focuses more on the sashimi flavour to come through. The tofu skin is also sweet and moist, not dry and tasteless. Some reviewers were complaining that it was too pricey, but I found for the price of one inari sushi, it is cheap compared to other places that charge you the same price for nigiri but smaller portions. As for the toppings, they give you quite a generous amount on top, and the best part is, it is extremely FRESH. They even offer ikura and hotate, not just masago and chopped scallop like other places.

    We came here before leaving Canada and wanted to grab a bite to go since we weren't very hungry. We went inside and looked at the menu before ordering on a screen at the counter. We loved how there was so much variety and that they had some sets to choose from. We ended up getting an aburi trio, a Hokkaido Trio, and a spicy mayo salmon. It looked and smelled amazing. We decided to try one before hitting the road and ended up eating 4 We loved how much filling was in each Inari pocket and that the rice to filling ratio was really good. The aburi trio was nicely seared. We will definitely be back and try more of their menu!

    So excited about this inari spot that has soft opened near Steveston! They have a really extensive menu with a ton of different inari options, and also poke and udon. They have a lot of different drinks too. I'm very excited to come back and try different things on the menu. We got the salmon trio and tuna trio for inari and they were delicious. Previously I would go to Sushi Tree in Coquitlam but this is much more convenient for me and definitely about the same quality and taste. We also ordered a mango avocado smoothie which was good too! Service was great. They are still training their staff but it wasn't noticeable. They have a self ordering kiosk which makes the process very smooth. The interior is also very nicely renovated. There's not a lot of seating but that makes sense since people usually would order inari for takeout. Looking forward to their grand opening!

    I had never tried inari sushi before, so when I heard Okome was opening in Richmond, I knew I had to check it out! If you're new to inari like me, it's vinegared rice stuffed inside sweet and salty deep-fried tofu pockets, often topped with raw or cooked fish. Think of it as a fun, handheld sushi snack customizable with different fillings! As a tofu and sushi lover, I was excited about this visit, and Okome did not disappoint! From the moment you walk in, the modern, cosy ambience pulls you in, and the menu is packed with delicious-looking items. While they also offer other traditional Japanese dishes like salads, torched sushi, sashimi, donburi (rice bowls), udon, and build-your-own poke bowls, we were here for the star of the show -- the inari. With 26 different types of inari sushi to choose from, you're spoiled for choice. For the indecisive foodies or those looking for a slightly better deal, Okome also offers inari trios. WHAT WE TRIED Aburi Trio Inari Shoyu Butter Scallop Inari Ikura Scallop Inari Ikura Salmon Inari Hamachi Shiso Inari Each inari pocket was generously stuffed with fresh, high-quality ingredients and bursting with flavour -- each inari was much larger than expected! The Aburi Trio was a standout with its sizzling flame-roasted goodness, adding extra umami. However, the extra sauce made the pockets a bit soggy towards the end. Similarly, the Shoyu Butter Scallop Inari impressed me with its rich seared flavors. However, I did wish the butter had been more evenly melted and incorporated. The chunk of butter in the middle of the inari overpowered the scallop in some bites, while you couldn't taste the butter in others. Being my first time trying inari, I expected a sweet and savoury mix of flavours. They skewed sweeter than I anticipated, and while they were delicious, I would've preferred a bit more savoury profile. For this reason, I preferred the inaris with sashimi. They allowed the fresh seafood flavours to shine through and were slightly more savoury, without being overly saucy. The sweetness of the inari was still there but to a lesser degree compared to the flame-seared inari. One thing to note: our order took over twenty minutes from the time we placed it, and they didn't seem very busy at the time, so it might not be the quickest option if you're in a hurry. However, with its proximity to Steveston, Okome's location is ideal for grabbing some delicious inari and enjoying a sunny picnic by the water during the summer months! Overall, Okome is a welcomed addition to the Richmond food scene with its unique offerings bringing a fresh twist to Japanese flavours. If you love inari sushi, or want to try inari sushi, Okome is definitely the place to go! Instagram Reel: https://bit.ly/4c2puVp

    When I heard that Okome opened up in Richmond, I had to give it a try. I was so impressed by the generous inari portions and high quality flavours What I tried: aburi trio - aburi unagi - aburi scallop - aburi salmon shoyu butter trio - shoyu butter corn - shoyu butter salmon - shoyu butter scallop icy mango coco jasmine bobo The aburi inari were my favourite, I've never had them done that way but I was incredibly impressed by the freshness of the seafood. I love that they gave us gloves to eat the inari with! The mango drink was so refreshing and a god-send during a heat wave. Date idea: get takeout and have a picnic in Steveston and watch the sunset I would definitely come back, the service was amazing. They also serve poke and sashimi.

    If you like under cooked egg and fatty pork in under flavoured rice bowl, this place is for you. What a waste of 18 bucks.

    We decided last minute to come check out this sushi spot and called to make reservations but they…read morewere full. They told us to join the google waitlist when we wanted to come in so we checked about an hour beforehand and there was no active waitlist online. We were seriously refreshing the screen as we were driving over to the restaurant. When we got to the restaurant they told us to join the waitlist and lo and behold there were already 5 people ahead of us!! The restaurant is small and the waiting area even smaller -- with 5 ahead of us we ended up waiting about an hour!! We got the dinner sets of soba/sushi, chirashi, and unagi. Everything tasted solid but seems small for the price. My little (who doesn't eat much) finished the whole meal set and said she was only 50% full and proceeded to eat snacks in the car after dinner. The staff spoke Japanese so you know it's pretty authentic but for the price and the wait, it could've delivered more.

    We arrived around 1pm on a Tuesday afternoon and were added to their 45-minute waitlist. Luckily,…read morethe restaurant is tucked inside a little mini plaza, so we were able to walk around and kill time while we waited. Beef Don & Udon - the kids loved it. Unagi set - WOW. So yummy. I'm literally salivating just thinking about it. I also thought it was cute that they provided instructions on how to eat it. Chirashi gozen - fresh, yum, and love the abalone! We will definitely return next time we're in town to try other items!

The staffs/owner were very friendly and made great recommendations. Had the hamachi carpaccio, so refreshing and appetizing. The homemade ponzu (lemony) sauce has a nice finish with thin sliced onions and veggies. The Engawa Arburi nigiri was recommended, and it was phenomenal. It is the 'fin edge' of flounder. Super delicate, with seared (arburi) flavor and melts in your mouth. Yum! The other highlight was the Wagyu beef cubes severed on stick. Two skewers 4 cubes each. The Wagyu was perfectly cooked. It melts in your mouth with every bite. We also enjoyed the 7 piece Omakase sushi set. The fish was very fresh and satiating. Love the lotus root chips garnishing. We loved everything we had but would likely skip the Omakase appetizer Platter. Perhaps we were spoiled by the hamachi carpaccio appetizer. We still enjoyed it but For the same price, we would prefer the sushi set. It had 9 small plates in a beautiful serving box including- tiny sashimi cube of salmon, tuna, tamago, and my fav is the komochi nishin (herring fillets ("Nishin") layered over a base of crunchy capelin roe), also included in the tiny plates of apps were, chicken karaage, baby taco, sliced taco, taco in red sauce, and seaweed salad.

    We finally had to find out what all the hype was about!…read more We kept seeing this Japanese restaurant get top ratings and heard it was really popular in Nanaimo, so we decided to try it for ourselves. Was it actually worth all the hype? We ordered the Sora Omakase Sashimi (8 types, chef's choice) along with a few other special rolls, and the sashimi was the real star of the show. The fish was incredibly fresh and generously thick-cut, with a great variety of premium sashimi. We were impressed by the creativity, generous portions, and presentation. Compared to other sushi places we've tried in the city, the quality and attention to detail here really made a difference. The prices are a bit higher than some other restaurants on the island, but after tasting the food, we thought the quality made it worth it. If you love sashimi, we especially recommend trying their sashimi options. There are plenty of premium choices. The restaurant itself has a modern-chic atmosphere, and it was BUSY. We saw a mix of locals, visitors, and a steady stream of takeout orders. Despite the crowd, our food came out surprisingly quickly, and the quality stayed top-notch. Whether you want a casual sushi night for two or a place to celebrate with a group, the menu has enough variety to please everyone. We came in wondering if the hype was real, and left understanding exactly why it's so popular. Honestly, Nori deserves the 5 stars from us. We're not the Michelin Guide, but we can definitely see why people are talking about it. Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: 4/5 Presentation: 4/5 Parking: 3/5 Tips: * Reservations are highly recommended. * Walk-ins are accepted, but be prepared for a potentially long wait during busy times. * The menu is extensive, so take your time deciding. * Great option for everything from date night to group celebrations.
