This is like a combination of a poke bowl place and Korean meat. The bowls are customizable, and there's lots of variety. I really like how you can choose from both poke and meats like chicken or pork (I recommend the spicy pork). There's also garlic butter as a base over rice (sooo good) and a creamy garlic sauce (i love it). read more

Amazing food! Ordered online and ready for pick up 10 minutes later on a Sunday. Randomly drove by and decided to try it after a long walk in Saratoga. My fiancé and I created very different bowls, and both were great. We shared (1) order of Sotteok and it was the perfect appetizer. He ordered the Korean pear slushy with his meal, and it was not too sweet. Definitely something to reorder at future visits. I would not take the moshi sparkling bottled drink again, but nice to try. The location itself is very clean and organized. Staff are friendly and service was quick. This is our new go-to spot for a healthy, quick meal. read more

Omee J 2 - (2) customized protein bowls, (1) Korean Pear Slushy, (1) Moshi Sparkling Uji Matcha White Strawberry, (1) order Sotteok - Korean Near Me - San Jose, California

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

Outstanding poke, super freshness, I loved the purple rice and all the choices of toppings. I especially love the crispy crunchy options and spicy sauces with my poke bowl. The portions are huge and the price is quite reasonable for a hearty, clean, healthy meal. Quite impressed. read more

Omee J 2 - Salmon poke - Korean Near Me - San Jose, California

The food is really good! The fish has really good portions and flavor, it tastes fresh, and even the crab is good. It's super refreshing and I do like the dumplings. They're very attentive with the service and ambiance inside is really nice. Only reason it's not 5 stars is because it's pretty expensive. For all these it was $61 which is pretty high. For extra protein it's $6 and for seaweed salad and the fish eggs, it's $2.50 additional. Other than that it's good! read more

First time here, and it definitely won't be the last. I don't know where to begin, the food was fresh, the bathroom was clean, and the service was SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN CLEAN!!! Seriously though, everything was delicious and the service was awesome. There are so many items that I didn't even try, which I'm very excited to try the next time I go back. The service was beyond excellent! A happy, smiling team behind the counter, and an awesome manager in charge. It started with Stephanie, who was extremely sweet to me and my wife as she prepared our base options. Then Ryan, who was making sure everyone near him was getting above and beyond service, and it all ended with Sophia explaining all our options with a big smile on her face. The best part was that all 3 of them were genuine. None of that fake customer service stuff, they treated us like friends. They knew we didn't know what we were ordering being first timers, but they were patient and explained all our options in detail. To top it off, the entire place was spotless! It's really very impressive that 3 people can pull that off while helping so many customers during the dinner rush. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands after eating (I swear I was just washing my hands), and it was also spotless, which is unbelievable in many establishments nowadays. 5 stars, no doubt, we're definitely coming back soon! read more

Omee J 2 - i really like my bowl. would recommend 10/10 - Korean Near Me - San Jose, California

Great friendly customer service with a variety of Asian-fusion options! We ordered a poke bowl, soft shell crab, and and a sotteok. The poke bowl was delicious and refreshing. Purple rice provided a healthy option for no additional charge. The grilled vegetables were perfectly seasoned and the spicy mayo + creamy garlic sauce together created a perfect mix of sweet and tangy. Sometimes spicy mayo can be too spicy, but this one was not :). Protein portions were generous, and I wasn't left with an abundance of rice and toppings at the end like I have been at other poke spots. The crab meat is spot-on, I would highly recommend getting it as a topping! This was my first time having soft shell crab and it was both affordable and a juicy, crunchy treat! The crab is about the size of a fist and comes with a dipping sauce. We ended up up eating the legs and some of the body of the crab but leaving the innards untouched due to its high cholesterol. The sotteok was well cooked and came with a sweet honey glaze on top. There was an overwhelming amount of sauce on it, which I scraped off. The rice cake didn't have much taste, but the sausages were juicy and delicious. This is the dish I could have gone without. Tips: - When selecting base toppings and regular toppings, keep in mind that corn is listed in both. We chose to get grilled onions and grilled vegetables for the base, then adding corn as a topping later on - The sotteok is quite saucy. I would ask for less sauce on top if possible read more

If you want something quick and basic I would honestly go here for poke. I really enjoyed the variety that is offered here as the options were different than typical poke shops. The purple ride and garlic butter was a must try. A little twist of Korean and Japanese poke bowls. Service was really quick with a server at every station. The store was very open with many seats and tables available. The vibes of the store were very modern and inviting. I would rate my bowl (left) 7/10. Lacked some flavoring in the sauce, but the fish and rice were fresh. The purple rice and garlic butter is a good combo. My girlfriend rates it an (right) 8/10. She enjoyed the purple rice and loves the combo of the creamy garlic and cilantro. Fish was really fresh. Other than that, it's like a normal poke bowl. Definitely would come back here if I was around. Overall a 4/5! read more

A great spot for what is essentially Korean-Japanese fusion rice bowls! I loved this spot and would highly recommend coming for quality rice bowls - It's setup similarly to a Chipotle where you go down a row and select what ingredients you want. You get a base (rice/salad) with some base toppings (Grilled Veggies/Furikake), 2 scoops of protein (Grilled Meats or Raw Fish), and a variety of toppings/sauces to choose from. I had a half rice/half spring mix poke bowl, with both their spicy tuna and spicy salmon. The fish and other veggie topping I chose were extremely fresh and the bowl itself was well seasoned with my choice of ponzu and yuzu sauces. The portions themselves were quite generous at a very reasonable price, given all the ingredients you can choose (about 19$ a bowl). While this location is a little out of the way for me to come by normally, this will probably become one of my go to places if I'm craving poke in the area. The variety was great and tasted extremely good! Service was also quick and the restaurant itself was super clean and bright. read more

Omee J 2 - Sauce choices! - Korean Near Me - San Jose, California

Love this new space, which feels open and inviting. Basically a make your own bowl, with both raw fish and cooked meat options. I loved the variety of options! Pick a base with various rice and salad options, 2 base toppings, then two proteins, then 5 toppings!, and then 2 sauces, then 2 sprinkles Can pick extra things or premium toppings for extra. The box is huge, though after tax come out to over $20. I'd say that my bowl was a bit bland. Probably my fault for saying light dressing, but I think the other issue is that whereas they mix it up for you in a bowl at a poke place, the sauce here is just drizzled on top, so the flavor of the sauce doesn't end up coating all the toppings. Moreover, for better or worse, all the ingredients are pretty bland. For better since sometimes I don't like the pre-mixed flavors, but for worse because without the sauce all the vegetables I got were very bland. Will be back for a relatively healthy, good variety, large bowl! read more

You could really save this for an extra meal. Come here. It's new, not busy, and delicious! read more

Been here a few times already and introduced few friends to Omee J-- they all said it was fire! While it's $20 for a bowl, they use high quality ingredients and you get FULL. Probably my new favorite non-hawaiian poke spot! There is a wide selection of options, including raw and cooked protein. They also allow you to do half n half for your base. Highly recommend: - Rice: Purple rice and Brown rice (typically not a fan of brown rice, but it was actually good here and not dry.) - Protein: Spicy salmon and Yellowtail. Most poke places don't have yellowtail and I love that they offer it. The pork is also yummy but I prefer fish - Garlic butter sauce (this is a MUST, alot of people get this here) - Spicy crab salad (they also have regular) - Onion and garlic flakes Omee J is a business I'll keep supporting. The interior is clean and the workers are friendly. There's dining space and each time I come here, the restaurant is bustling. read more

Omee J 2 - Korean Near Me - San Jose, California

Delighted by the existence of this place. A relatively healthy chipotle style you pick protein bowl restaurant based on Korean Japanese dishes. It's definitely getting into my repertoire of healthy quick take out places. There are some improvements needed though. They currently do not offer kids size bowl. To order sufficient food for two adults and two kids, we had to order three bowls and then go through the pain of trying to split them which was a messy process. It will take some tries to go through all options and find combinations that work. Though there are plenty of sauce options, I was painfully aware of the long line behind me and didn't have the luxury to take my time and think through my choices. I would suggest going through the options before hand Incase the lines are long. There are just two sauces allowed and they are drizzled on the top. Atleast in our case we felt the need for more sauce, particularly for the bottom portion of rice. It would be nice to get some sauce on the side as well or allow a drizzle while building the bowl instead of just on the top. We ordered three bowls mostly with a combination of chicken, shrimp, white and purple rice, sautéed veggies, corn, broccoli, daikon pickle etc. Chicken was flavorful with some Asian marination. Cajun shrimp was not very spicy. Enjoyed the pickled daikon the most. I liked the sticky purple rice, I suggest trying it as it went well with the rest of the items. Everything was fresh and we didn't feel any guilt while eating. We did have one guilty add on pleasure though : chicken karaage. Priced at a very reasonable $7 and absolutely delicious. read more

maybe 3.5 stars - round up to 4 since the portions are hefty - but price is over $20 lol I used to get the raw salmon/tuna here, but after a few tries I noticed that it just tastes... not fresh? not that it tastes BAD, just that it tastes ... pasty? kinda? but the taste itself has like no taste which is so strange to me I thought it was just the fish, so I swapped to getting steak the last couple times - same thing though - steak is overcooked and lacks taste the stranger thing is - I always ask for extra sauce but by the time I dig in, the sauce has... disappeared? sunk to the bottom? but left absolutely no taste at the top where it was heavily drizzled on ‍ anyways! there's a lot of options here! and when I say a lot I mean A LOT. you order kinda in a chipotle style or poke style lol - the signs on the glass tell you how many things from each "section" you can choose. it's an indecisive person's nightmare LOL but good thing I'm super picky so it narrows down the choices by a lot for me everyone there has always been super nice! I've also ordered the spicy rice cake before - it comes as two skewers w sausage, but it's kinda overpriced imo read more

I had the standard 44 oz. bowl with half-half base, white rice and mixed greens, and with one extra protein. The various toppings were good (especially the spicy "crab" meat and cucumbers) and fresh to one degree or another. For sauces I had the cilanto and spicy mayo, both good. But for me the most important part is the protein component. I tried spicy tuna, spicy pork, ribeye beef. The tuna didn't have much taste; it does taste like defrosted frozen tuna that lost flavor in the process. I wouldn't get it again. The spicy pork and beef were ok but a bit overcooked/dry. Portion-wise the proteins are on the smaller side. The bowl would still be an option if I were in the area but if I wanted Korean spicy pork with rice I would probably get take-out from a Korean restaurant in Santa Clara instead. (There are a couple more I want to try.) Looks like a good place to hang out; when I was there in the afternoon, there were several groups of high school students, probably from the nearby high school. Counter service was good and helpful. (I don't think they offer WiFi here; if they do the name isn't obvious.) read more

Omee J2 is my new favorite "poke" restaurant, but instead of raw salmon and tuna, I get cooked chicken and steak! This place is located on prospect near westgate mall, and I found parking to be plentiful. The interior of the restaurant brings a nice modern feel, and is quite hip. Once you go in, you can immediately line up to have someone on the staff help you with your order. A big highlight of the restaurant is the amount of customization for your poke bowl. For around $18, you get a MASSIVE bowl which you can fill with a base, two proteins, two veggies, two seasonings, 5 toppings, and 2 sauces. The portion is so big that you can split it into two meals if you want (though I usually finish it in one sitting :P). I HIGHLY recommend choosing the cooked meats (steak, chicken, bulgogi, etc) for your protein instead of the raw fish for the proteins as the cooked meats were marinated and delicious while the fish didn't have much flavor. I been to this place multiple times, and each bowl I get is always delicious and honestly addictive to eat. This is due to the amount of sauce and seasoning they put. I never got tired of eating it, and I enjoyed every bite. It's also a pretty healthy meal as it's not that oily. Overall this place is a great addition to the poke world, and I do plan on becoming a regular at this establishment! read more

Omee J 2 - Protein Bowl (Steak and Chicken) - Korean Near Me - San Jose, California

Walked in the soft opening Korean poke bowel place for lunch around 12pm. Inside has neat ins fast food kind of set up, clean and modern. There are 6 steps to add your bowel ingredients; for protein I picked salmon and spicy tuna.... The sign on steps have really clear instructions on the number of selections and extra charge ingredients, such as avocado, extra portion charge and etc. the two stars goes for clean set up and detailed instructions / service on ordering. Unfortunately, my taste buds did not agree with the taste of the food or the seasoning sauce. It is kind of bland on its taste and texture. Based on my understanding of my kids' appetite, I would not recommend this for family with kids . read more

Love this place. Big portions. Really fresh ingredients. I always get the poke bowl, but with variations of proteins, sauces, and toppings - the combinations are endless! Also like the compostable boxes and utensils. Service is prompt and non fussy. If I eat in, the place is clean and not noisy. I see customers come with kids and family. I highly recommend OmeeJ2 for dining in or to-go. read more

Tried this place for the first time and I can see why so many people have raving reviews! A great place that offers variety of options to poke bowl. The place is new and clean so walking in felt good. From the start, it tells you how to order and what kind of selections you want. Same with any other poke place where you choose your base, protein, toppings, sauces, and sprinkles. I like how fresh their fish is! I like how you can do up to 20 toppings! So they definitely don't skimp on that. What is great is that you can order sides. I was told they have kimbap and I really wish I could try it but they were sold out by the time I came. But I do want to come back for that and also do their sotteok rice cake and sausage ! Yes the bowl can be pricy but what isn't pricy nowadays. Shoutout to the service. Very kind and friendly! read more

Omee J 2 - Tuna and salmon for protein along with other toppings! - Korean Near Me - San Jose, California

GREAT FOOD! Spacious interior and clean. It wasn't too busy, but we went there 5 min prior to closing time. Thank goodness they were still able to take us (sorry about that tho!). Staff were really nice and helpful in recommending certain sauces to go w/ our food. What we ordered: my bf got purple rice, grilled veggies, grilled corn, chicken, salmon, crab meat, carrot, daikon, pickled cabbage, mango, tofu. Sauces were: lemon dill and cilantro. So tasty! Ingredients, flavor, portion size....everything was spot on. For mine, I got: purple rice, grilled veggies, grilled corn, steak, spicy tuna, spicy crab meat, tofu, carrot and daikon, pickled cabbage, and cucumber. Sauces were: spicy mayo and sweet chili. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED MINE. Only thing I would change is prob no crab next time but otherwise, it was delicious. 100% recommend and yes, I will be back! read more

This place is like a chipotle for asian protein boxes - also like the poke places, where you order down an assembly line. Each box here is $18.99 so there are no options if you want a smaller bowl, or bigger bowl, although the bowls here are very large. I wish they had a smaller bowl option. I ordered the greens, with salmon and yellowtail for my two protein options, but they also have cooked meat as well to choose from. I ordered some broccoli, crab, and other items and had them top it off with the garlic sauce. They make it look really pretty, which is nice. The meal was good, the fish and other ingredients were very fresh. I like the crunch of the fried garlic and the furikake that I put in there . The garlic sauce on top was tasty as well. They had a number of topping that were "premium" and therefore an extra cost, that I didn't get but would have liked to, like the masago. read more

Situated in a big plaza, this place is easy to find and not hard to park. They close at 8pm though, so not a place you can hang out for a late dinner. In a nut shell, it's a poke place. They have a few steps to guide you through getting the ingredients. Overall, the ingredients are fresh, and I like that they have some cooked non-fish protein choices, such as grilled chicken and steaks. The veggies are fresh and at 7pm (an hour before closing) they are still replenshing with fresh trays instead of calling sold out, that I appreciate. They also ask if you'd like to separate the sauce or mix it in, which I find health-conscious. I do hope they become more efficient in assembling the orders as with 4 staff members the line still moves a bit slow. Also, the wasabi sauce is sweeter than the peppery wasabi taste as it's not really a paste but a liquid sauce. In terms of value, they priced 44 oz of food at $17.95 before any options. I keep comparing them to Poke Paradise, which is 32 oz at $18.25 but somehow I felt that Poke Paradise has more choices and the portion is bigger than 32 oz. Nevertheless, they are both good choices. read more

Think Cava but Asian! Omee J 2 is a unique, make your own asian style protein bowl with fresh ingredients. They give you a wide selection of proteins, sides, sauces, and toppings. My favorites are the grilled chicken (super juicy!) and the spicy raw salmon which is super fresh. I'd never think to mix poke with grilled meats, but it actually tasted so great together along with their other vegetables. My favorite side toppings included their spicy crab meat as well as their edamame. The service is also 10/10. The owner and servers take the time to customize the bowl to your liking and are super friendly and patient! They make sure you are satisfied with your bowl, and even gave me recommendations based on what I was feeling like eating that night. Overall atmosphere is 10/10. Super clean and modern interior, with lots of space and tables so you can bring a lot of people here if you would like. Love how it's casual, clean, and a healthy meal. Highly recommend Omee J 2! read more

Was really pleasantly surprised by this place. The setup is like chipotle but I think the food is fresher and better tasting. Got the purple rice with garlic butter and corn for the base. Then got salmon and chicken, both really good. Got a bunch of toppings including crab, and I really liked the furikake and tempura toppings. Finally got the garlic sauce on the side, which added a nice, light touch. The food was flavorful without being too sweet or salty, or greasy or too heavily sauced. It was filling and healthy. The kids liked the variety of foods, and everything is already cut into bite sized pieces. The inside is casual with large tables. It's really a wonderful spot for families, so we will definitely be back. read more

Super clean, tons of choices, and friendly staff. I tried the spicy salmon salad bowl and enjoyed every bite. The food was fresh and the sauces were tasty. Portions were decent and I left feeling satisfied. I prefer this over Poke House. They have grilled and raw seafood options, three kinds of rice including purple rice. There's something for everybody, including children. There is plenty of parking and ordering was easy. They let me try some of the sauces before making a decision. read more

Wanting a rice bowl for dinner tonight, my fiancé and I hit Yelp. So glad that we went with Omee J 2!! Ryan, who I think is the manager, was super helpful. I can't eat gluten and needed a guide. So often there is a lack of knowledge or creativity when I indicate that I am highly gluten reactive. Ryan let me know exactly what I could and couldn't eat with no equivocation (it's honestly really annoying when food service workers don't know what has gluten and what doesn't - and can't tell me definitively - and have zero desire to figure it out; if there is any question, it means I can't risk eating it). And he made excellent suggestions on what combinations of the proteins/toppings/sauces would by yummy. Nailed it!!! Thank you, Ryan! Quality and quantity (both how much they give you and the selection) of the food was impressive, too. It's pricey - but as others have said, it's so much food, it ended up being enough for two meals (for me, anyway). The only con: it *is* loud inside - voices carry and seem to be amplified. There was a family with two small boys that were very chatty (read: frequent and excited exclamations at high decibel level - thankfully, they were happy sounds and the boys were adorable!) Omee J 2 could stand to install some sound attenuation panels on walls/ceiling. Bottom line: I will definitely go back! read more
