Okome in Scottish Borders

Fantastic little place for Japanese Easr Asian food. Had Sashimi & seaweed salad. Loved it a great addition to the places in Galashiels to eat out or take away !!

Fresh, good portion and so tasty. Extensive menu with good variety of not only sushi but also noodle and rice dishes. So very tasty and services within 5 minutes. We ordered miso soup, chicken yakisoba and chicken katsu curry. Will be returning

After a long vacation filled with rich (good) Scottish meals, we were thrilled to find a Japanese place to have a sushi lunch, and even more thrilled with the quality (and price) of the food we ordered at Okome. It's nothing fancy, but the sushi was delicious and high-quality fish. The restaurant is cute and we were very happy with our meal.

The food with great really enjoyed it. but the dessert was a let down. Basically two pancakes with spread in the middle. I felt robbed!!

A group of us booked a table for a leaving do. I have a fish and seafood allergy which we phoned up about in advance to let them know. I know this was not the best choice of restaurant for me but the person leaving was vegan and had enjoyed food there previously and wanted to go again. The staff had marked up a menu for me of dishes that didn’t contain fish or shellfish which was kind. There are a number of chicken, pork and vegetarian dishes which sounded tasty. Quite a few of these are deep fried ie sweet and sour chicken and katsu chicken and when I checked that these were cooked in a different fryer to the fish and seafood dishes they replied that all the dishes were cooked in the same oil but that it wouldn’t be a problem which I felt was a very flippant response and would definitely matter for my allergy. Therefore I avoided anything deep fried and in the end had a very nice Japanese noodle, vegetable and chicken dish which they didn’t add any oyster sauce too and it was delicious. This does mean that vegetarian and vegan customers will all inadvertently be eating food which has been in contact with fish/meat/chicken etc. I would hope following feedback given at the time that going forward they will get a second fryer but sadly I won’t be going back until then.

Amazing food, fast service, really good presentation. High quality ingredients. Well worth the money and the staff were great
