I really enjoyed my last experience here and thought it was way more worth than chipotle. I like how they have poke option but with more other options than most poke shops. This this I thought the portion sizes were smaller and did not hit the same.
After an excruciating Bikram Yoga session--the ultimate torture chamber--I spotted a new place across the building that immediately piqued my curiosity. I walked in, relieved to discover it was a poke spot, and decided to have lunch there. I ordered a bowl with white rice as my base and two proteins: tuna and yellowtail. To my surprise, I could add five toppings, so I went with crab meat, mango, cucumber, edamame, and scallions. I don't recall the exact sauces or sprinkles they put on, but the bowl was enormous--which explained the nearly $30 price tag! I grabbed a seat by the window overlooking the parking lot. The chair was a bit snug, but I didn't mind as I dug into my fresh, flavorful poke bowl. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. The staff member helping me was new, shadowed by the manager as he assembled my order, but he did a great job! After another grueling 90-minute Bikram Yoga session, I debated between returning here or grabbing Taco Bell, which was much cheaper and in the same shopping center. Despite the price difference, I chose the healthier option. Since the restaurant was packed and I was eager to get home, I decided to order to go. This time, a young woman helped me build a bowl with half purple rice and half white rice. Purple rice is a highly nutritious whole grain, so I was eager to try it. It had a ougher texture to chew than white or brown rice, but I still enjoyed my lunch. For protein, I chose tuna and spicy tuna. I rattled off a long list of toppings before realizing I'd already hit the five-topping limit. I wished I could swap one of the mangoes out, but instead, I paid the extra $1.25 for an additional topping. The young woman was efficient, and I was out of there in no time. Overall, I'm a fan of this restaurant. I can definitely see myself coming back after future Bikram Yoga sessions in the 'torture chamber.'
I like that you can build your own bowl. I think it would be nice if they labeled items on their online menu to show which are vegan-friendly. Luckily, I'm pretty familiar with Asian foods and flavors, so I was able to figure it out on my own. I also added a vegan note in the comments of my order for good measure. Most restaurants with a build-your-bowl model have different pricing for the vegetarian and vegan options because tofu is much less expensive than items like steak or salmon. However, here, it's one price for every bowl. I placed a pickup order; it was ready right away, and the woman at the front was very nice. Here's what I got: Purple Rice, Grilled Vegetables, Grilled Corn, Grilled Tofu, Beets, Chunk Tofu, Edamame, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Jalapeño Ponzu (Spicy), Classic Unagi, Sauce on Top, Onion Flakes, Garlic Flakes. Everything was really flavorful, and I loved the contrasting textures. Although it was a bit on the pricey side, the bowl was super filling, and the portions are very large; they definitely don't skimp on the toppings or tofu. I wasn't able to finish it all. I will say I didn't see unagi sauce, but I could taste the ponzu. I was under the impression that most commercial unagi sauce is vegan, but maybe they use something non-vegan in theirs? I checked with Gemini, it said: when unagi sauce is prepared using traditional methods, fish-based flavor enhancers, or hidden animal byproducts might be used. Either way, if theirs is non-vegan, I appreciate them following my note and not putting it in my bowl. Overall, I think the food was really good and I could see myself ordering again.
Very good portions, fresh and delicious protein choices, loved the spicy ahi tuna would definitely come here again
Delish! All the ingredients feel really fresh. The bowl's great value as well. Lots of toppings and sides! It's great because their proteins choices mix land and sea, so something for everyone! Service is friendly and nice clean casual sitting.
Think of Chipotle but a Korean Chipotle but with Asian ingredients. Lots of great protein including Kalbi steak or grilled chicken, grilled tofu for the vegetarians. Also lots of raw fish to choose from. My favorite is the "surf and turf" grilled steak and spicy tuna combo. They also have purple rice and salad options as your base. 2 protein and 5 toppings I found the food to be super fresh and it's really healthy
Korean and Japanese fusion bowls that you make your self! At $22 a bowl they are huge and come with fresh high quality ingredients! Lots of options to choose from and get drenched in sauce. My favorite takeout place! I usually get the purple rice and spring mix as my base. The ribeye is tender and flavorful. Poke salmon was also solid! Get the garlic butter for even more flavor. Lots of toppings but are limited to a generous amount. Have a pretty big seating area but bowl is also ready for to go. Usually eat half the bowl or I'd get a food coma eating the entire bowl in one sitting. Servers are generous with their scoop. Similar to chipotle where you pick and choose your items
Wonderful experience at Omee J. 2, best poke bowl in town. The staff was great, atmosphere was inviting and food was very fresh. Keep it up.
Was in the mood for poke and figured I would try this place out. At 5:30 on a friday evening, it wasn't too crowded, with plenty of seating. Seating was self serve, kind of like chipotle, after you order in the assembly-line style line. At first, I was kind of surprised to see that each bento-tray was ~$22, with no sizing options. However, the portion was massive, enough for one to be super full or to have lunch the next day! I liked how the bento was quite customizable. The restaurant is korean-fusion with poke, so there were many toppings, base rice that are more commonly linked with korean food. It was pretty good! The salmon was fresh and fatty. One of the fresher poke spots I have had in the bay. The toppings were fresh, and visually vibrant! I think my only critique would be the pricing and maybe having more options for sizing. Otherwise, you are getting what you are paying for!
the box is customizable with a bunch of different options to choose from. i usually get the spicy salmon and steak. the raw fish options look sooo fresh, and i can safely say that the salmon is delicious af. i also highly recommend their cilantro sauce. the box is a bit on the pricey side ~$22/box, but the portion size is generous. i usually eat half and save the other half for lunch the next day. the service is pretty standard for places where you build your own. the interior is spacious and clean, and there's also outside seating if you prefer that.
super healthy and portion size is massive, i have to split it up into 2 meals! Always the best service here and raw foods are fresh
Recently OMEE J 2 pops up in my social media feeds multiple times, I was intrigued by the great looking bento box of colorful ingredients so we picked a day to go get lunch. When we got there, looking at the menu, I quickly realized it's basically a fancy k-style poke bowl restaurant. Because the photos on Yelp are not up-to-date, their price per meal has gone up quite a bit: price went from $17.95 to almost $22 for a bento box. The portions are big I have to say, and the poke are fresh, but I want to say if you order there, try not to get too much sauce on the poke or it will quickly become very salty. I had to drink 2 cups of water after the meal because it's just way too much salt in the sauces.
Came across this by accident when trying to find a dinner place before watching movies across the way at the movie theater nearby. My boyfriend and I have loved it ever since!! We love how fresh the ingredients are and the quality. The chicken is a must try so tender and flavorful and the spicy tuna is one of usuals to order. So far everything I have tried has been delicious and super fresh and portions are really good! It's like Chipotle where you can pick your protein, toppings but WAY better! Lots of variety and you can choose two proteins. Ever since my boyfriend and I tried this place we can't stop coming back and the workers are also very friendly and attentive! It's one of our favorites to go eat when we don't feel like cooking :)

Omee J 2 is a pretty good option for poke bowls, I like how they have some unique toppings that you don't usually find at other poke places. The portions are great as well, very filling. It was a bit busy when I came, but the line moved quickly. The dining area is also spacious and clean. Give them a try if you're looking for some poke in the area! read more
Walking in, it had a nice vibe. They had menus all over the place. When you go to order, it's super easy as they guide you to what comes next. The food is amazing. It's big enough where I was full after it and my fiancé was full half way through hers. I got spicy tuna and shrimp and tons of sides. The service was good too. Super nice and friendly as it was my first time there so I didn't know exactly how to order. But they made it nice and easy process. The only thing is, it's $22 a box but it's worth it. I'll be going back for sure and recommend it to everyone. read more

Omee J 2 wowed my expectations and what everyone is saying about it being a Korean/Japanese chipotle, this super accurate. I enjoyed how healthy, well balanced their food was and looking at each bowl, it's super colorful and that's what you want for a well balanced meal. Rice, protein and vegetables/fruit! On top of that the portions were really big. My favorite part is that there are hot proteins like chicken and bulgogi. Then there is poke in which I got the salmon and tuna. They were both fresh and the portion was decent. The also have inside seating but you order at the front at the front glass area where all the food is. We took it to go and it tasted great. Definitely coming back. read more
Save yourself and skip the sides. I tried the chicken karage and for the price you pay it's not worth it. There is nothing special about the chicken itself. It was fried ok, taste ok, but very small portion for large amount of money. The poke bowl has been consistent and you can ask for the sauces on the side if you are doing takeout so the bowl doesn't sit drenched in sauce. Stick with the main item, poke. read more

I was disappointed in the quality of the spicy salmon this time. Some pieces had a weird, chunky chew and the flavor was quite heavy on sriracha. The plain salmon was delicious as usual though as is the garlic butter, creamy garlic sauce and unagi sauce! Prices are also now $24 after tax and their yellowtail quantity is limited, so come earlier in the day. read more

Whoever decided to make a 44oz bowl is a genius.. At first I was overwhelmed by Omee J 2's selection of what to include in my bowl, but all of the possibilities are delicious so it really doesn't matter that much. Add-ons I would definitely not skip include: garlic butter and grilled corn for my base toppings, spicy crab meat, and tobiko. For sauce, you can't go wrong with classic unagi or garlic ponzu. I will note that the quality of their proteins was really good; I especially enjoyed the tuna! This is a really clean spot and the service was super fast. Lots of seating inside as well, so you can eat your bowl while it's still fresh. read more
This is the Chipotle of Korean food. It was fun to build a bowl guessing what might go with what. If you aren't familiar with Korean/Japanese flavors, you may have a challenging time picking out what you want. If you are familiar with the different flavors--go to town on your bowl of yummy perfection. Three stars because it was super loud and yelling so the person making my bowl can hear my choices was not fun. In the end, I looked at my bowl and it looked like hodge-podge of this and that without rhyme or reason. Is it worth $27 per bowl? No. read more
First time trying Omee J 2 and I really enjoyed it! I appreciate that they offer not only poke options but also cooked meats for those who don't eat raw fish. The staff were friendly, patient, and helpful in explaining all the ingredients. Everything was neatly organized, which I liked since I shared a bowl with my husband and we each have different topping preferences. The ingredients tasted fresh, and I noticed the team consistently wiping down surfaces, keeping the area behind the glass partition very clean. We went with a mix of spicy tuna and beef along with several toppings. I also liked that they have sauce mixture recommendations displayed on the glass which is super helpful if you can't decide. You can request complimentary water and extra bowls for sharing. Definitely plan to come back to try more of their bases, toppings, and sauces! read more
Solid spot if ure looking for healthy hearty options with large portions! Like everyone said, it's like Asian Chipotle. One standout I will say is that I truly commend them for being SO CLEAN. When I was ordering, the server was wiping down the equipment and counter every time after he had used it. So clean! As for the food, I'd recommend people to SKIP THE POKE. I know. How could anyone resist poke? I, for one, couldn't resist and got a scoop of the spicy salmon only to be disappointed by it's rubbery texture. I almost thought I was eating tuna instead. Salmon is usually fatty and soft, but this salmon had tuna like texture. The spicy sauce also lacked salt or any flavor. Not really spicy. But beyond the poke options, everything else is pretty good. I got chicken as well which was delicious. The garlic butter is AMAZING. I was worried it'd be too strong and buttery but it was not! I think besides the poke, the only other thing I wish that the sauces were just a bit more seasoned. It was bland, at least for mine. Anyway, I'd still totally come back again as this is such a great spot for those looking for healthy choices! read more
This place was a revelation to me! So fresh and so delicious! They are ruthlessly organized behind the counter and bins are refilled quickly and constantly from a waiting stock behind them in the fridge. The counter staff are friendly but efficient. There was a small line but it was clear they were all working flat out to serve up the personalized bowls perfectly. In my picture is my bowl. Half purple rice, half spring mix as the base. If I have one criticism, it's that the leaves in the spring mix should be cut a little smaller. They were too large compared to the size of the other ingredients. I went with tuna and ribeye as my protein and they were both excellent! I was a little worried about the beef but it was still warm and perfectly cooked. I selected some toppings from among a very wide list (it was difficult to choose) and some sauces and additional sprinkled toppings. The whole thing was a flavor bomb! The place is clean as a whistle, too. I'll be back here ASAP! I want to try some different combos. I also got a hotteok as a sweet finish. It was messy but delicious! Thank you Omee J for a tasty first experience! read more
Think Korean chipotle - build your own bowls Bowls were ~$22, but generous portions. It could be 2 meals for some I had this place saved for a while and wish I tried it sooner! Bowls are customizable and there is such a wide selection from base, protein, toppings, and sauces!! You don't usually see purple rice as a base (get it!!). For my protein, I ended up choosing spicy pork (DELICIOUS) and spicy salmon (also delicious). Pear slushee was light and refreshing. It was a good place to catch up with some friends as it's casual, but nice inside with lots of seating. Love this place! read more
Love this place!! They have so many protein/topping/sauce options--anyone is able to build their ~perfect~ bowl. I love that they offer both raw and cooked protein options. Both times I've been here I've opted for poke-style bowls with raw fish, but next time I think I'll try the chicken or steak. The bowls aren't cheap at $21 for the base cost, but the portions are generous and one bowl would be enough for two people to share (at least for lunch, in my opinion). You get your choice of five toppings to a bowl, which is difficult because they offer so many great options. My faves are the broccoli, beets, and grilled corn. I get purple rice & kale as my base and it is absolutely fire. Brought my sister here after initially coming here last year with friends and she loves it as much as I do!! Staff are always friendly. Good amount of indoor seating and a couple tables outside. Clean and simple interior. Truly such an amazing spot for a delicious customizable bowl (my favorite type of food EVER)!!! As I type this review, I'm dreaming of the bowl I'll build the next time I find myself in SJ. read more

Great quick and loaded lunch option! Priced at approx $20 per bowl, it is pricey but I think you get a lot for what you pay. They really do load it and the protein options are great. Love that they have purple rice. The amount of options can be overwhelming but what a great feeling to have when you're building ur own bowl! Service is great, you just order build ur own style (similar set up to Chipotle) read more

This poke place has very generous portions, and lots of options! You can get 2 proteins, 2 sauces, and 5 additional toppings. I sat down in the restaurant after getting my bowl, and left feeling pretty stuffed. Compared to other overpriced poke places in the area, I'd say for the amount of food I got, it was worth it. read more
HUGE and DEEP bowls. There's no way to visualize the 44oz bowls except to see it in real life. The really unhinged way to work with this is to go to the Trader Joe's in the same plaza and buy a bag of spring mix, shelled edamame, and an avocado. Now you've got like 3 or 4 premium restaurant meals for like $30 total. Budget picnic with a friend??? Get the sauce on the side so you can control how much you get and then you can even repurpose the leftovers. This was my order, which I was fairly satisfied with: - purple rice - grilled vegetables + grilled corn - spicy pork + spicy salmon - tofu + pickled onions + cucumbers + crab meat + carrots and daikon - furikake + onion topping The pork was well-seasoned but still had a porky taste to it, so if you are like me and really am not a fan, then I would probably pass on this one. My ideal would've been the yellowtail but they didn't have it that day. read more
My husband and I really enjoy this restaurant! The portions are humongous and there are lots of options to choose from. We mainly get the marinated proteins, and the flavors are great. My husband has tried the raw protein before and had no notes on it, so I'll take that as a good sign. Their Korean pear slushy is SO refreshing! I have to get it every time. Service is quick and effecient. Staff is polite. Easy and straightforward ordering process. The restaurant is pretty roomy with some outdoor shaded seating. Bottom line: Perfect for a quick delicious meal. read more
Omee J 2 is like the poke bowl final boss, served up fast-casual style. For $20 you can get a 44 oz bowl of items of your choosing. The choices can be overwhelming so I highly recommending scanning through the menu before getting in line. From cooked to raw proteins, a ton of veg options and sauces it literally is building your own bowl. From all the times I've been here the staff is professional and pleasant. Generous servings of fresh, good quality ingredients for an awesome price of $20- hello? In this economy? I always order their sotteok, rice cake and sausage, bc I like differing food textures and the contrast of salty sweet sauce. Awesome place for lunch and portion is more than enough to share with a friend! Interior is clean, not noisy and if there is a line it moves pretty quickly! Lots of seating to dine in or for take out. Lots of parking in this plaza that's shared with other eateries. read more
Think Chipotle, but upgraded! This spot offers a massive variety of toppings, including meat and fish, and the portions are huge for what you pay. I loved that they have a wide selection of appetizers and house-made drinks, too. It's a perfect, casual spot for a solid meal. The parking lot is a bit small and sits right off a big road, but it's manageable once you get in there. read more

Please don't think I'm joking when I say this is my favorite spot to eat in the Southbay. Omee J 2 is SO good! Think of it as a Chipotle but make it poke, steak, and Asian! One of my favorite parts about this place is the portion size and how I truly feel healthy after eating it. Their crab meat and spicy crab meat are so flavorful and every ingredient tastes fresh! It is a little pricey for not being a total sit-down restaurant but it's worth the money (around 24 total). Give this place a shot!! read more

Had lunch here on a Wednesday afternoon. No wait, no crowds, and super fast service! I'm sure it's been said before, but this place is like a Korean/Japanese/Poke "Chipotle". You walk up to the counter, and pick your bases, meats/poke, toppings, and sauces. Service was friendly. Portions are huge, which I appreciate. My husband finished his bowl, but my son and I could only eat half of ours. The bowls were very tasty, the only thing was the beef was a little tough, but the chicken was nice and tender. It was also nice to see yellowtail on the poke menu. Would definitely stop by there again if we're looking for a quick satisfying meal. read more
Omggg this was amazing! They have so many options. I love how they do poke salmon and chicken they are god options for those who are vegetarian as well. This was worth my $22. Two meals in one I had it for brunch and lunch. I wish this wasn't so far from me otherwise I'd get it every week! read more
Anyone who knows me knows that I love any sort of BYO bowl spot, so I was pumped to see a spot that advertised as a BYO protein bowl restaurant. I loved how there were protein options for both poke and cooked meat, I got the spicy salmon and chicken and really liked both. Also got 2x grilled corn, spicy crab, edamame, cucumber, cauliflower, broccoli, and some fried onions and garlic. Chicken was very flavorful and tender and I could definitely taste the spice in the crab and salmon. It is interesting that they only have one size bowl option that you can order (which is pretty massive) but the food was so delicious that I devoured the whole thing anyways. There was a bit of a line when I came here but it moved quite quickly, and the seating area was a bit crowded but easy to find a table when we needed one. read more

I didn't eat in store but was wowed by the gorgeous interior and the superior customer service. I placed an order for 6:30 and came a little early. They didn't have my order ready yet so I sat down waiting for my name to be called, but I was pleasantly surprised when they came up to me and handed my order! Like the other reviews said it is pricey but the portions are big and you can definitely make two meals out of 1 portion. I ordered salad as my base and the freshness is there! It was still crunchy even when I got home. The poke was delicious and the sides were plentiful. I'm so glad I was recommended this place! Definitely worth a try and I will be coming back! read more
The best way to describe this spot to someone who hasn't been is a Korean/Japanese Chipotle. They have an expansive selection of hot proteins and other items as well as poke and cold items, so it can be a little bit of decision overload. You've gotta make your mind up on which route to go so you end up with something cohesive. After a weak start to building my bowl, I didn't decide which route I wanted to go, I was able to turn it around and still make something quite delicious. I went with a few different poke options and really liked them all. The only thing I didn't love and would skip out on next time is the crab salad (I should listened to John D's review because he was right that it was over seasoned). Overall a super positive experience and I look forward to coming back here. The portions were pretty massive so I think with the addition of a side or two this bowl can easily be a meal for two big eater. read more
OUTSTANDING! Omee J2 is hands-down one of the best restaurants in San Jose. The food is unbelievably fresh, packed with flavor, and beautifully presented. You can build your own bowl with a wide variety of proteins, toppings, and bases. The purple rice is a must-try! Every bite is a perfect balance of texture and taste. Not only is the food amazing, but the place is spotless. Super clean, fast, and efficient service, with a chill and welcoming vibe. You can tell the staff takes pride in what they do. read more
A friend suggested we come here for our monthly dinner outs - and while at first I was hesitant in trying it out, I'm glad we did! The restaurant is located in a shopping center that shares quite a few shops - Happy Lemon, Yogurtland, Smash Burger, etc. I'm not sure which shop used to be in this location, but I believe Omee J2 is fairly new. The inside is nicely decorated with plants and clean seating areas. There is a big space for various groups to gather and lots of room for people to have conversations. We found a nice open area near the front wall to sit down. After everyone was ready - we went up and ordered. Since it's a build-your-own kind of place - we looked over the items and put in our orders once at a time. Everyone ended up with something slightly different. I had the purple rice with steak and veggies, a soy sauce egg and garlic ponzu sauce. I also asked for the summer night sauce (very delectable) on the side. There was a good rice to meat to veggie ratio and the sauces that I picked didn't overshadow the flavors in the bowl at all. It was delicious and I felt very healthy for having fresh veggies. Service was great as well - the staff was very friendly and answered all our questions. They were also patient when the six of us weren't sure what we wanted and waited for us to decide without hurrying us up. Overall, a very nice place to get some healthier meal options and hang out. It got a little busier once we finished ordering, but the volume inside was diffused enough that we were able to carry on a conversation without any difficulties. read more
