Okome Paisley — Restaurant in Scotland

My recent takeaway experience from Okome was, unfortunately, a major disappointment. The high prices certainly didn't reflect the quality of the food.

My king prawn sweet and sour dish was a particular let down. For the price, I received a paltry portion. The star of the show, the king prawns, were more like anorexic shrimps - three tiny, deep-fried specimens that wouldn't satisfy a toddler's appetite. The rest of the dish was equally underwhelming: a single, undercooked stalk of broccoli, a smattering of beansprouts, sweet &sour sauce that was neither sweet nor sour and the most basic boiled rice imaginable.

Another of my groups katsu chicken offered little redemption. The breaded chicken was more like a pile of mystery meat nuggets, and the accompanying potato appeared to have barely seen the heat. The obligatory boiled rice was, once again, a forgettable addition.

Even the side of fries couldn't escape the curse of mediocrity. They were overcooked and cold, a feat that left me wondering how long they'd been languishing before being thrown on our order.

While I can't speak for my entire groups experience, the silence surrounding their meals spoke volumes. Let's just say the lack of enthusiastic chatter wasn't a good sign.

Overall, Okome's takeaway service was a pricey disappointment. Tiny portions, lackluster execution, and an overall sense of neglect left me feeling like I'd wasted my money. I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a satisfying and flavorful...

I'm so engrossed in everything about Japanese people that two of my business friends and I decided to have dinner here to catch up. It is light and well-ventilated, and it is welcomed. We didn't make a reservation, but we secured a table without any problems (Saturday at 5pm). The table and floor are all made of wood and are decorated with traditional Japanese artworks and items. The hanging display of paper lanterns is fun. There was a seating area (if you have to wait), and the waitress was very polite and respectful. (Why can't we adopt a respectful and humble Japanese style here??? There is something on the menu that suits everyone. I had chicken yakisoba (gorgeous! My friend ate beef yakisoba and loaded fried katsu (both were sure to be delicious!). (). I wanted to have dessert, but my friend didn't, so I refused. The price was very reasonable, the food and waitress staff were nice, and the decorations and overall atmosphere were good. I will definitely visit...

Okome Restaurant, Paisley

Currently sitting in Okome restaurant, enjoying a bowl of their incredible curry ramen—and I couldn’t wait to share how good this place is. The broth is rich, perfectly spiced, and comforting in that soul-hugging way only great ramen can be. Every bite hits the spot.

The food here is not just tasty, it’s thoughtful. You can tell there's real care in the ingredients and preparation. From presentation to flavor, everything feels crafted with love.

And the service? Absolutely lovely. Friendly, attentive without hovering, and genuinely warm. It adds to the relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer.

If you're in Paisley and even remotely into good food, especially Japanese-inspired dishes, go to Okome. You’ll leave...
