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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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! 🥗

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Starter was nice but that was just bread with tomatoes so nothing cooked. Main course Traditional home cooked beef lasagne..... This lacked beef mince, in fact it was more like trying and spot the mince! Plus it had a hard lump of rubbery cheese in the lasagna. Is this really Italian? I think a pint of birra moretti was priced at £5.00 but charged £5.95. Over £25 for a poor meal and a beer. Basic cooking and over priced and if you want better food then go elsewhere. Plus the main waiter guy was very impatient at times and seemed more interested in a group of customers rather than individuals.
