About okome

Okome is a cute little restaurant that offers a unique Japanese food experience, specializing in inari sushi, which is sushi stuffed in sweet fried tofu pockets. The shop is clean and bright, with a friendly staff that provides recommendations on their fresh ingredients. The menu includes delicious options like Inari sushi with a variety of toppings and the popular aburi salmon, along with other items like don and noodles. The portions are a bit small, and prices are on the higher side, but the food and drinks are worth it. Customers can use a touchscreen at the front counter to place their orders. Specials like the Tuna Trio on Tuesdays and the 10% off promotion on all Inari on Mondays are a great deal.

Okome is a fresh air in the already saturated sushi scene of Richmond and Vancouver. The interior design is beautiful, modern, cozy, and very aesthetic, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal or relax. However, the service could use improvement, as both dine-in and takeout orders tend to have long wait times. Despite the minor detail of the black napkin material, Okome is a hidden gem that is sure to become a popular spot for Japanese cuisine enthusiasts, especially for those visiting the tourist hot spot Steveston Fish Wharf.
