Okoman Sushi Restaurant

Quite nice sushi place. Korean neighbourhood so don't get surprised by the bibimbap on the menu and ans soju posters on the wall. Quite nice selection of sushi. Decent quality. Another reviewer mentioned 3.5 stars and I would probably aim for the same. Ok value and overall enjoyed the place. Very nice and heartwarming service but a think was missed and was not handled the best way. I would come back. Vegetarian options: Good selection of vegetarian dishes such as well made and generous avocado roll. Other options include gomae, avocado salad, and Veggie tempura

Good food. Prices are better and bigger portion. Do not forget to push the bell for service. Cozy private room. That entity separate from other sushi place. I fully recommend the place.

I had a good experience at this place. The food was solid and the staff were all very friendly. I liked the Korean kiss roll which was nice and spicy and good texture. We also had spicy seafood udon and chicken donburi. Everything was executed well and tasty. I would come back and try other menus.

Here's what $40.31 got me not including door dash fees for delivery or driver tip Dynamite roll: Average, but the only edible thing I recieved in my order. Yakitori: Dry and old. Chicken itself was unseasoned and stale. 3 small pieces per stick. Does not come with vegetables as stated on door dash, rather it comes with a vegetable garnish. Mine was dry beet spirals and a single slice of onion. Could have been expired, didn't eat. Miso soup- Watery and lacking flavour. Agadeshi Tofu- tofu was unseasoned and the coating was too tough to chew through, zero garnish sasame seed/scallion/bonito. Paid a dollar extra to make it spicy but recieved the regular. The sauce was just tempura sauce. 3 pieces nigiri salmon, snapper and tamago - pretty sure I recieved the squid instead of the snapper. Not sure what the quality was as I wasn't comfortable eating the raw fish based on the quality of the other food.

Apparently okoman has changed ownership over the years. But the food was better today as we found out they changed owners. The venue is very good. Picturesque and good for tiktok and Instagram, as well as meetings. Good and convenient parking. The owner Brad, and our server Andrew, were extremely kind. From the very beginning he explained the menu to us and was very patient in listening and waiting for us. The food itself was excellent! The quality was very fresh. Unfortunately the price was also while justified very high. Andrew was even kind enough probably seeing us family of 5 having a blast and gave us fish steak on the house! I love okoman. If it weren't for the price, I'd come every day haha.

Would rate 3.5 stars. Aburi tuna/salmon was bland and didn’t taste the seared charcoal. Actually needed soy sauce. Alaska roll - they used smoked salmon instead of raw salmon. Tasted ok. Sashimi box is pretty good deal for $23. Sorry thought I’d taking photo after we already started eating it but figured good to show how much food you get. Photo is missing rice and miso. The Sashimi was good. Aburi same comment as above, tempura, beef teriyaki pretty standard.

Lots great exotic sushi rolls. The service is very good but the staff is small. We ordered the OKOMAN COURSE FOR 2 which includes 2 miso 5 pc sashimi 3, green salad, pc salmon 3 pc tuna, tons of tempura, chicken teriyaki plus dynamite and seared sushi nigiri my least favorite. It is really a meal for 3 people. They also make a great bunch of exotic rolls. Parking: Always alot of parking in the parking lot Wheelchair accessibility: Easy navigation in the restaurant. The door might be tricky .

One can spend a lot more money on sushi if one chooses a fancy place, but for food quality and best value for my dollar, I have yet to find a place that is superior to Okoman. We usually do take out here about 12 times over the past 2 years. This time we reserved and ate at the restaurant.Food: 5/5

Okoman Sushi is one of the many Korean/Japanese restaurants located along the North Road corridor between Burnaby and Coquitlam and is in the same complex as Pho Japolo and Thai Chef Casual Thai Cuisine just on the lower leveL. The interior of this restaurant is a bit dim in spots due to the layout. From the decorations, it looks very much like a typical Japanese restaurant complete with sushi bar and various Japanese-themed items adorning the walls including a large wooden boat above the front door. However, one look at the menu and you see that they serve both Japanese and Korean dishes here. On my first visit, I ordered the Assorted Sashimi $18.95 for 16 pieces which included 3 pieces of seared tuna, 3 pieces of sockeye salmon, 3 pieces of tako octopus, 3 pieces of salmon, 3 pieces of tuna, 3 pieces of tai red snapper. Most of the sashimi here was spot on and had a fairly generous size. The only one I wasn’t thrilled with was the tako which turned out to be a bit too chewy perhaps to be expected. It was good enough that I wanted to revisit and try some other items. This time, I made sure to pick and choose what I wanted with the nigiri. I ordered Hamachi $2.95, Ikura $2.95, Unagi $2.45, Sockeye Salmon $2.45, Toro $1.95, Chopped Scallop with Masago $1.75, Saba $1.75. Again, most pieces were good here… especially the tender unagi and the toro. I did find that the saba mackerel fell apart from the rice though and there was a bit too much rice with the ikura and chopped scallop for my liking. On a return visit in early December, I ordered their Hotate Battera $10.50 which is a pressed sushi dish where the rice is formed into perfectly rectangular pieces and topped with scallop, spicy mayo sauce, and tobiko before it’s lightly torched. There’s not huge pieces of scallop here so the scallop-to-rice ratio is a bit off for my person liking but I did enjoy the creaminess and the slight kick from the spicy mayo. Next up was the Grilled Salmon $8.95 which is made with spicy tuna wrapped with salmon and then baked and served with sauce. There’s no rice on the inside so this is a fairly meaty item. Overall, I did enjoy it but it’s not as creamy as some similar items I’ve had at other sushi restaurants ie. the spoon at Victoria Sushi and the sushi bomb at Hyack. On a subsequent visit in December, I wanted to order their real crab battera but was disappointed that they were out of real crab. Instead, I settled for their Negitoro Battera $10.50 which is made with tuna belly and green onions. I really enjoyed the texture of the minced tuna belly and how it melted in my mouth. I’m a bit mixed with how the Yakitori $5.95 turned out. On the one hand, the meaty skewers of chicken thigh and green onions were quite generous and coated in a sweet tare sauce. On the other hand, I wish that the chicken had more of a char on it. Who doesn’t love a good Chirashi Don? With a price tag of $15.95, you get all the benefits of having an assortment of sashimi pieces plus the added bonus of rice seasoned with furikake and sesame seeds. The one that they serve at Okoman Sushi is practically brimming over with fresh sashimi. Admittedly, it is difficult to get down to the rice below without eating some of the sashimi first. There was a good selection of different sashimi including: 3pc Atlantic salmon, 3pc snapper I think, 3pc wild salmon, 2pc hokkigai, 3pc toro, 3pc tuna, 3pc tuna tataki, tamago, and ebi. You really can’t beat the price and the fish especially the toro and salmon were really good. I suppose one day that I’ll have to return for a visit to try their Korean items.

I got take out from here a couple of times. We usually get their roll bento box and the oshi bento box. It's a pretty good bang for your buck because it comes with a lot of stuff and taste pretty good as well. It's nothing special, but definitely a solid choice for a casual sushi take out place. At this price range I'd choose here over sushi california.
