Okome Galashiels in Scottish Borders

The food was amazing, the staff really friendly and while we were waiting for a takeaway we started to regret that we didn't dine in.

Fabulous. First time at Okame for a sit in and it did not disappoint.We had The Chili Broth Ramen with steak the White Broth Ramen with chicken and The White Broth with Char Siu, Gyozos and the Cheesy Kimchi Fries.We loved both broths and the Char Siu was excellent.In fact everything was perfect.We will definitely be back.🍜👍👌Another update had takeaway tonight and yet again perfect!I had the Chili Broth Ramen with extra egg and veg and a side of Kimchi😋

Fantastic food friendly service. Food comes out quickly highly recommend

Food is always wonderful here, I usually go for the sweet and sour chicken bowl and it is always flawless, the sushi is also very tasty and lovely soft rice every time, staff are attentive and friendly. Our food is always prepared very quickly from when we order. The restaurant itself is very cute and I love the style of decor which makes this place bright and comfortable.

Unexpectedly good Asian food on the High street. I had miso soup, and salt and pepper squid - very tasty, well cooked and flavoured squid, great quick light dinner, clean and airy vibe to the restaurant. would definitely go back to try the other offerings.

Each time I taste the food more and more. Before each visit I know what to order even next time :) recommend.

Amazing food every time we came! Definitely recommend, my favourite in the Borders.

One of my favourite places in the borders. Always incredible food, lovely staff and fast service. Dine in or Take-out, both impressive. My faves are the Poke bowl with summer sauce and rainbow-roll sushi with yasai gyoza 😍 never disappointed.

Excellent food, great price and friendly staff.

Friendly staff, was very quiet when we went in. My partner had the pork belly ramen and I had the salmon and tuna sushi set. Both were really nice to eat. Drinks were good too, I ordered a bubble tea that was really tasty as well.

Fantastic place with a great atmosphere and great food. Every member of staff was really nice and friendly and provided excellent service. Had a various menu with lots of vegetarian and vegan option which is definitely a bonus

The eel was lovely, the wasabi was really hot and the ginger was fresh. I enjoyed the quick service and the nice rolls.

Food and service fantastic as always

What an absolutely brilliant wee place. Fresh, delicious food at affordable prices. We loved our visit here. The Ramen, katsu chicken, Poke bowl and sushi were all incredible. Friendly service. Lovely interior and decoration. Highly recommend.

I've lost count how many times I've ate here. And it's still amazing 🤩...can't wait to come back

Neat, clean, fast and the food is delicious, always freshly made and hot, (excluding Sushi 🍣 of course) even when delivered 😋 Staff are always pleasant and happy to help. I'd be happy to recommend Okome Galashiels.

A really healthy alternative to a takeaway and in my strong opinion, tastier. Both sitting in or delivery are great and food is still hot. I like the poke bowls but for hot food the yakisoba and chahan along with a bubble tea can’t be beat. Also the only place I will eat sushi from 😊 family and friends I’ve introduced to here all love it too and say they have never ordered a Chinese again

Disappointing. The eel tasted just like kippers, nothing like eel I have had in Japan and good Japanese restaurants. The seafood yakisoba was acid tasting. The shrimp gyozu not bad. Packaging lovely. Service good and restaurant full. I was hoping for better as takeaway in Galashiels not good at all.

The most amazing food and service. Got the teriyaki chicken bowl and sweet and sour chicken. Large portions for a great price! Food comes out as its ready so was deliciously crispy and piping hot. Option to pay after or pay upfront was handy as we were in a hurry.

Really great food, fab to have such good Japanese in Gala!

Food is amazing such good quality and worth the price

easily the best place for food in the borders

I went to Okome with my mum on a Sunday around 1ish. The restaurant was quiet and we were seated and our food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. We shared an 8pc California roll, and their chicken katsu fries. The sushi was fresh and very tasty, and the fries were good as well! The fries were a side, and the portion size was larger than I was expecting, I would have preferred a bit more of the chicken pieces themselves however. Overall, it was a good experience and for £25 including drinks, I would come back again to try something else on the menu!

Delicious food, by far the best take away in Galashiels

Friendly and helpful staff. I had really nice fresh salmon/avo sushi, and miso soup. Their Miso is gluten free (soy) and they have gluten free soy sauce on request. They have lots of non-raw-fish choices like fried rice and tempura too, for those with more conservative tastes ;) Nice clean designed place and toilets.

I got a mango boba drink it taster like sick what a waste of £5 will not be going there again and it stinked in their

Wonderful atmosphere lovely staff what else could you for . Its a little slice of Japan on your front door. Plenty of amazing dishes to chose from.

We love Okome. The choice of sushi is amazing. The Ramen portions are generous and everything we have tried so far has been delicious.

I ordered a delivery. It arrived on time and was all absolutely delicious! I was very impressed by the quality/taste of the food. Will definitely recommend and re order in the future.

Cannot fault this place. Just fabulous to have sushi in the Borders. Well priced, charming service, delicious food.

I just adore this place! The food is delicious. The people there are lovely. I highly recommend this place! Not only is the food, atmosphere and service amazing so is the presentation and the details. for example, they have very nice plates and forks. If the manager sees this please tell me where the plates are from.

We visited for the first time this evening, we pre-booked a table. The staff were lovely, nice atmosphere, food was amazing and came out really quickly. We will certainly be back for more.

Awesome place lovely food and bonus sewing the delivery driver wearing a pokemon hat over his helmet .... pikachu actually has a job 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣

Pretty good Japanese food (and also the only one in the whole lower Borders area, unfortunately) We have eaten here quite a few times now and I like their white broth ramen with chicken, it's got good flavour. My only consistent complaint, however, is the absolutely measly portion of seaweed served in the seaweed salad. We've been to many, many Japanese restaurants in Scotland and Okome's Kaisou/seaweed salad - while priced the same as all others - is by far the measliest, filled up with random salad under a small scoop of seaweed. Please make the kaoisou salad a decent portion, guys! 🥗

Nice interesing flavours. Not expensive. Not eaten Japanese before but we liked it a lot.

Best place to eat in Galashiels by a mile. If you like wagamamas this is 10x better and cheaper.

Quick service, quality affordable food

Great food! Came here whilst visiting family and was very impressed. The food was quick but delicious! Tried a variety of dishes.

Absolutely stunning fantastic people fantastic food ill be coming round regularly for another bite to eat.

Really nice food and great prices. The decor is plain but that kind of works. Sushi was excellent, as was the ramen.

Lovely japanese food (Picture is white broth ramen with steak)

Brilliant place with delicious food. We've had delivery and eaten in here and can highly recommend it.

I have collected food from here numerous times and previously it’s been generally great. Tonight however, we ordered the same items as usual and received soggy cold fries and salt and chilli tofu that was easily 1/3 of the size as normal (seen in photo below). For reference, there are normally 6 triangles of tofu that are the size of my palm, but tonight they were as small as an inch wide. We ordered at 8:30 and collected at 8:43, so it was confusing as to why the fries were already cold. Such a shame to have had this experience as this place has been incredible in the past.

Let’s start by saying food was really good. It’s a shame was let down by poor customer service. No one explains the procedure for ordering and starters weren’t checked to see if ok. Mains arrived and no starter plates were cleared. Was no room on the bench yet they still left the dirty plates. Again did not check to see if all was ok. Could be far better if customer service was better. Disappointed.

Fantastic food and great service.

Very tasty sushi and loved the eel!

I order to take away but the restaurant has a really nice atmosphere. The food is second to none. Seriously, authentic and tasty. I come here after the gym as the food is very nutritious and healthy. Prices are extremely reasonable for what you get. I get food from here at least once a week but often more.

God I love Japanese food and this place is a welcome addition to the Borders! Excellent service, reasonable prices awesome selection for vegetarians.

Ordered twice from here, finally we have sushi in the borders! Great, fresh, sushi, on 2nd time, However, we didn't get any sauces , wasabi, or chopsticks.

Definitely recommend booking to avoid disappointment. Wonderful staff, really helpful and polite. Big menu with a huge selection that anyone can pick something from. Food was fresh, tasty and beautifully served. Highly recommend visiting.

Food was good, shame they couldn't accommodate a child's portion for a 4 year old. It's clean and nicely decorated inside with a lot of choices on the menu. We will come back. 5 stars if they start kiddies portions, might attract more families in.

Best place to have a bite now in Galashiels if you're a fan of japanese food. Had takeaway for beef chahan loved it! And sushi is fine to have ...... teriyaki rice bowl and crab were the best! Funny Ramune juice bottle is must try!

Friendly staff, delicious food Lucky to have that in the borders

Unreal food, very testy, amazing service 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Had a take away tonight absolutely 💯 full of flavor great adition to the town

Won't be back. No one told us (first-time customers) we had to order at counter even though we had been sat at table close to counter for about 15 minutes (& no one went up to counter in that time to give us a clue except someone collecting takeaway) yet some people who came in after we ordered were welcomed & told exactly what to do before they'd even sat down. This could have been sorted by something as simple as having a card on the table or a note on the menu. Also nothing on menu explaining what some of the flavours of the sweet offerings on the menu were if you're new to them, which we were. Food, while it looked nice was not a patch on another similar place that we've been to. Came for Japanese food but left feeling like we'd just had a Chinese meal. Yakisoba tasted more like Chinese Chow Mein and the Pork from the white broth ramen was hard and the broth was tasteless. Had this been our first experience of savoury Japanese food we would have probably never tried any more based on this experience.

Absolutely delicious. Delighted to have this in Galashiels

Lovely restaurant, great service and tasty food, definitely will come back!

Travelled from Gorebridge and Peebles looking for a place to eat and discovered Okome had a lovely lunch. Chicken teriyaki bowl, chicken katsu rice bowl, chicken chilli broth ramem & beef chilli broth ramen. Delicious. Pity we live far away as I would definitely eat here often as they menu has a lot on offer.

Regular here food and staff are fabulous. Vegan & gf dishes too

Okini! Thank you for bringing a delicious takeaway to Galashiels. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great. The staff are always friendly. A touch of Japan in The Borders. Food heaven :-)

Fantastic food. My second visit and already planning to go back. Please support this place, it really is excellent 👏

Friendly, good food and attention to detail in their service. Clearly laid out menu. Food is brought as soon as it is ready which isn't long at all. We had 3 Ramen, Yakisoba and Teriyaki plus a Dragon roll to share between the 5 of us. Delicious food and under £70. Our green tea was brought as soon as the tea was put into the water and we were advised this so we could remove it when breed to our tasting. Well be going again, and hopefully quite frequently.

Amazing food and friendly service

Delicious, fresh and flavourful food! So much choice and all reasonably priced, will definitely be back!

Ordered food to take away tonight after considering a Chinese. So glad we changed our mind! So delicious and fresh. Large portions, enough you can share a main and a side. We ordered x1 main x2 sides and x2 desserts. Haven't even started dessert and so full and satisfied.

great atmosphere, incredible range of Japanese food and drinks. the sushi is fresh and well made, the white broth ramen was delicious. will most definitely be a repeat customer!

First time trying okome and definitely impressed and will order again, love the potion sides the presentation and the packaging and the quality of the the food, also for 2 sides 2 mains and 2 desserts for £35 👍🏻

Nice food shame about the service. No one keen to ask if they can help, had to ask. Then no one mentioned you had to order at the counter. Lacking customer service skills.

Delicious, fresh, finally an healthy takeaway option in Gala👏🏼

Best Japanese place I've been to in Scotland, outstanding!

This place is a great addition to Galashiels! Sit in or takeaway We got a takeaway, but restaurant was busy Staff were super helpful and were explaining items from the menu to the couple in front I got the katsu chicken curry! It was fantastic and a decent sized portion Husband got ramen chilli bowl, he gave it a solid 10/10 We also decided to try the salt and spicy tofu, this was delicious I like how you can see straight into the kitchen, you can see how clean it is It is at the slightly higher end price wise for a takeaway, however portions are big and everything tastes fresh Remember it's cash only!!

Perfect if you fancy something a bit different!

Such a gem! Food was amazing, decoration wonderful and the staff friendly. I would argue that this could be the best restaurant in Galashiels.

Yum. Fresh, tasty Japanese food. We had Chahan, ramen, Kimchi and a selection of sushi. All of it was fresh, tasty, high quality and delicious.

Authentic, delicious, Japanese food.

First time eating here and first time eating Japanese food for me. Food was plentiful and very tasty. No alcohol so bring your own. Soft drinks are a bit pricey. Service is good. Might try a takeaway next. If you haven't tried Japanese just Google the menu! Worked for me!

Me and my family got a delivery from this place tonight and the food was absolutely delicious, we ordered 3 different meals and they were all bursting with flavour, good sized portions and reasonably priced too, definitely without a dowt the best dine in/takeaway in the borders, we will most definitely be ordering again.

Superbly presented, fast delivery and ver delicious.

Thought we would give it a try instead of getting the train up to Edinburgh. Absolutely fantastic meal. Very reasonable prices for the great quality of the dishes. Great selection of vegan, pescatarian and meat dishes. Can't wait to go back and try thd rest of the menu!

Friendly staff, brilliant food, a Japanese restaurant in the Borders, what's not to like. A must try for anyone with a taste for Japanese cuisine

So much of a brand new place to eat in Galashiels, that they were still putting the finishing touches to the furniture when we popped in. Based on one visit, I really hope that Okome does good trade. I want it to be available as a choice of eatery for a long time to come. The food I had last night was delicious and unmistakable as Japanese cuisine. Being a completely new place to eat (or take away) the seating area wasn't bustling, but I hope people really make the effort to try Okome.

Great food, authentic Ramen and Sushi, great atmosphere for eating in. We will be back.
