    Gomae salad with gorgeous presentation.
    Wendy C.

    I like the cozy atmosphere here. The location is a bit hidden and I like that - not too busy. The booths are my favorite. I noticed it's under new management. The food I'm always happy with and this time I got gomae salad and the presentation was gorgeous! Service was good.

    The service was great and three of us had no problem in Father's Day. The food and prices were pretty good and they certainly have a lot to choose from. We will return, we liked the private booths offered too.

    Okoman sushi Lougheed, BC It was new year's eve and we wanted sushi so we ordered: Roll tray $46, 8 rolls Nigiri tray $37 For the roll tray, my favorites are the chicken roll and dynamite roll ( **) Although the chicken roll is teriyaki chicken? The taste was really flavorful!! The fish skin in dynamite roll is HUGE and it was oily (this is a compliment) I LOVE IT For the nigiri roll, first of all not gonna lie the sashimi wasn't really fresh but acceptable. With this price I wasn't expecting THAT much at all it was better than I thought () Nothing special about this tray everything was decent

    Assorted Sashimi
    PennyandRusty P.

    Okoman Sushi is one of the many Korean/Japanese restaurants located along the North Road corridor between Burnaby and Coquitlam and is in the same complex as Pho Japolo and Thai Chef Casual Thai Cuisine (just on the lower leveL). The interior of this restaurant is a bit dim in spots due to the layout. From the decorations, it looks very much like a typical Japanese restaurant complete with sushi bar and various Japanese-themed items adorning the walls (including a large wooden boat above the front door). However, one look at the menu and you see that they serve both Japanese and Korean dishes here. On my first visit, I ordered the Assorted Sashimi ($18.95 for 16 pieces) which included 3 pieces of seared tuna, 3 pieces of sockeye salmon, 3 pieces of tako (octopus), 3 pieces of salmon, 3 pieces of tuna, 3 pieces of tai (red snapper). Most of the sashimi here was spot on and had a fairly generous size. The only one I wasn't thrilled with was the tako which turned out to be a bit too chewy (perhaps to be expected). It was good enough that I wanted to revisit and try some other items. This time, I made sure to pick and choose what I wanted with the nigiri. I ordered Hamachi ($2.95), Ikura ($2.95), Unagi ($2.45), Sockeye Salmon ($2.45), Toro ($1.95), Chopped Scallop with Masago ($1.75), Saba ($1.75). Again, most pieces were good here... especially the tender unagi and the toro. I did find that the saba (mackerel) fell apart from the rice though and there was a bit too much rice with the ikura and chopped scallop for my liking. On a return visit in early December, I ordered their Hotate Battera ($10.50) which is a pressed sushi dish where the rice is formed into perfectly rectangular pieces and topped with scallop, spicy mayo sauce, and tobiko before it's lightly torched. There's not huge pieces of scallop here so the scallop-to-rice ratio is a bit off for my person liking but I did enjoy the creaminess and the slight kick from the spicy mayo. Next up was the Grilled Salmon ($8.95) which is made with spicy tuna wrapped with salmon and then baked and served with sauce. There's no rice on the inside so this is a fairly meaty item. Overall, I did enjoy it but it's not as creamy as some similar items I've had at other sushi restaurants (ie. the spoon at Victoria Sushi and the sushi bomb at Hyack). On a subsequent visit in December, I wanted to order their real crab battera but was disappointed that they were out of real crab. Instead, I settled for their Negitoro Battera ($10.50) which is made with tuna belly and green onions. I really enjoyed the texture of the minced tuna belly and how it melted in my mouth. I'm a bit mixed with how the Yakitori ($5.95) turned out. On the one hand, the meaty skewers of chicken thigh and green onions were quite generous and coated in a sweet tare sauce. On the other hand, I wish that the chicken had more of a char on it. Who doesn't love a good Chirashi Don? With a price tag of $15.95, you get all the benefits of having an assortment of sashimi pieces plus the added bonus of rice seasoned with furikake and sesame seeds. The one that they serve at Okoman Sushi is practically brimming over with fresh sashimi. Admittedly, it is difficult to get down to the rice below without eating some of the sashimi first. There was a good selection of different sashimi including: 3pc Atlantic salmon, 3pc snapper (I think), 3pc wild salmon, 2pc hokkigai, 3pc toro, 3pc tuna, 3pc tuna tataki, tamago, and ebi. You really can't beat the price and the fish (especially the toro and salmon) were really good. I suppose one day that I'll have to return for a visit to try their Korean items.

    Avocado sushi roll take out
    Sabrina A.

    Yesterday I called the restaurant to order avocado roll and California roll to go for kids. I asked avocado roll with no wasabi on the side. So when I came to pick it up, they charged me for 4 avocado rolls and then they apologized for misunderstanding. So I picked up my rolls and left a tip. When I got home, my kid asks me "mommy, why is avocado roll is so thin?" I was shocked when I saw the rolls. There were 6 little of 1 cm avocado rolls. It's like three normal sized rolls cut in half. I called the restaurant and they apologized but refused to return or replace the rolls. We used to go there as a family and leaving them 50-80$ per meal once or twice a month. Too bad they treated us that way. We are no longer their customers. Always check your order before you takeout

    Salmon sashimi

    So I have ordered from Okoman twice on Skip the Dishes. I have to say it's the best sushi I've had in ages. I highly recommend them. Great prices and food made with love

    Gyoza soup
    Christine R.

    When I go to Japanese restaurants, it seems like the menus are all the same. But one way to differentiate them is by the "special rolls" selection of sushi. When I saw something called the "Crazy Boy" on Okoman's menu (and I was with my crazy boy), I knew I was in for something good. The menu contained a few other surprises, like a goma-ae roll and gyoza soup. We also ordered a selection of reasonably priced nigiri sushi (~$1-3). Unfortunately, we were in for a long wait for the sushi, as the server warned us when we sat down that the sushi chef was a bit backed up. I really appreciated that kind of proactive service, though - so many other places would just let you sit there with your tea and appetizers wondering if the chef had to go fishing or something. I liked the idea of gyoza soup - like a wonton soup, but with gyozas - but the reality was that the big dumplings floating in broth were difficult and messy to eat. And my husband couldn't even eat his because the soup turned out to be full of his culinary nemesis: onions! In two forms! I probably wouldn't order that again. The sushi, when it came, was very good - big pieces of melt-in-your-mouth fish on overwhelmed slabs of rice. They didn't put wasabi on the rice, however, so you have to DIY if you like your sushi with a kick. The goma-ae maki was a nicely executed concept, one I don't think I've seen before, but It makes perfect sense. Finally, the Crazy Boy arrived! I know the picture doesn't look like much, as my camera phone isn't the greatest, but they were delicious: spicy tuna and asparagus wrapped up together, deep fried, and topped with creamy peanut and wasabi sauces. Picky-eating husband says it's the best thing he ever ate, and I have to agree that it is indeed a special roll. For a local sushi spot hidden in the corner of an old strip mall, Okoman was hoppin'. But you hardly notice because the high-walled, private wooden booths keep it chillin', plus you can lazily push the Red Button to call for a server. Who by the way, seem to be run off their feet, but are unfailingly cheerful and efficient. Good sushi, great system. I'll definitely be back - and next time look out, because there's also a Viking Roll.

Later on when we were ready our order was taken by a male staff member. We ordered a decent amount. Miso cheese eggplant, chawan-mushi, fried fish collar served in some kind of broth, 8pc nigiri omakase, blue fin tuna&uni hand cone, another hand cone but I can't remember what was in it..wifey ordered it, vegetable tempura and a black truffle dynamite roll. The highlight for me was the black truffle dynamite roll, it's taste was perfect. The right amount of truffle used and not over powering like I've had at so many other venues. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted. It was smokey, earthy and tasted wonderful. The miso cheese eggplant was delicious, slightly salty from the miso and wonderfully roasted soft eggplant. The fish colar in broth was light and delicate, beautiful flavor and texture. Chawanmushi was soft and delicate, excellently flavored. The omakase which had fish from Japan was delicious, super fresh and masterfully prepared! The tempura came with a green tea seasalt which was different but very nice. For dessert we had the green tea tiramisu which was very tasty. The restaurant itself is small but cozy and wonderfully decorated. My wife and I had a wonderful meal and I would go back for special occasions.

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 sat in a separate section of the restaurant with 3 tables at the front. We ordered chicken wings, assorted tempura, miso black cod and an order of beef teriyaki that was not on the menu. The servings are very small for the prices charged. We found that the chicken wings (only 4 small wings) $9.50 were a bit dry. The tempura batter was not as crisp or crunchy as we've had. The miso black cod was a very small portion - maybe 4 oz. for $18.00. We did not feel that there was value for the money. The food was average and the prices were too high for the quality and amount of food received. We did not enjoy the anime that was playing and we were glad that we were not sitting in the main dining room. Overall, we feel that there are better options for a Japanese meal.

Okeya Kyujiro is a Michelin one-star theatrical omakase restaurant, and when they say theatrical, they mean it! From the moment you're welcomed by smiling ushers in kimono to the closing tea ceremony, every movement feels intentional, precise, and elevated. The ambiance is serene and anticipatory. At the start, guests sit in silence as a black screen conceals the chefs. You see their shadows moving behind it. A bell rings, the screen lifts, and the performance begins. Dinner is a 25+ course experience priced at $325 per person. It's undeniably a splurge, but for a milestone celebration, it feels justified. The menu is seafood-forward, with many ingredients flown in from Japan. Each ingredient is presented before preparation, then carefully assembled and served directly from chef to guest. Courses arrive one by one, never rushed. The service team moves seamlessly in the background, refilling water and attending to drinks (available as an add-on) without disrupting the flow. The finale is a matcha ceremony, whisked in front of you with the same quiet precision that defines the evening. When the final sip is taken, the bell chimes once more, the chefs and staff bow, and the screens close. It was a beautifully choreographed dining experience, perfect for marking a special moment, and one I'd gladly return to for the next celebration.

    Service was really amazing with servers explaining each dish and drinks were always topped off…read more Food was good, but maybe this isn't quite my style of omakase compared to the other ones I've tried. This is a more theatrical style so expect louder music and a more theatrical experience (eg one of the servers played the flute for the guests celebrating birthdays). I prefer a more intimidate and interactive style of omakase where you can talk with the chefs. This lunch also felt a little fast in terms of progression of the meal. Some of the dishes were very tasty while others didn't wow us. With drinks, we were quite full despite some reviews saying portion is on the smaller size. Our total was around $500 with drinks for 2 people. A really good experience for omakase, especially if you are looking for a unique experience though not my favourite one I've tried.
