Okome House - Minneapolis

Based on the reviews on here, I was excited to try this place. We ordered the Tori-don, Buta-don, and the chicken karaage. The food was disappointing for me ????. The sauce in the Buta-don was good, but the pork pieces were very tough to eat. If it were thinly-sliced pork, it would have been perfect. The bowl also came with a soft-boiled egg (egg was very cold) and broccoli salad (it was fine). Despite my critiques about the Buta-don, it tasted better than the Tori-don. The chicken karaage was different than what I'm used to... It was good, but it wasn't great. Mediocre food, but good atomsphere.

Had the tekka maki (tuna sushi) and unagi rolls, it was not the greatest. The tuna was not the greatest color definitely not pink. Curry don was okay but it's litterally golden curry with some veggies sprinkled on top. Tldr Kyoto Sushi has better quality than this If you are looking for sushi.

So we tried Okome just a bit after they opened, and went back just tonight to give them another go. And holy wow, what a freaking amazing spot they have become. Awesome space, great staff, and the food was absolute fire. Get the Tori appetizer and the pork upon ftw

Had the curry udon and avocado Don. Curry udon was like the cafeteria at my Japanese university in hirakatashi, Osaka minus a poached egg. Loved it. Will return.

Okome House has a warm and friendly staff that great my friend and I as we arrived. Then, they proceeded to provide excellent service. Oh, the food was delicious! this was my first time getting onigiri and recommend the salmon one!
