Okome — Restaurant in Scotland

Came here twice over two years just to see if the quality's improved - it hasn't. Food looks alright, price is OK and the place looks clean, but looks are deceiving! First tried the 'classic' beef bowl which is actually minced beef (definitely never seen this before) so that was vey disappointing. Came back yesterday to have the tonkotsu ramen - the pork was alright but everything else felt like it came from a packet of instant noodles: tasted like it was mass-produced, full of MSG, salty, egg was overcooked and wasn't marinated, and no depth of flavour which is usually what is sought after in ramen.

The pork quality was not the...

Food is decent, tastes authentic, smallish portions, apart from that this place seems to be trying to disappoint. Staff are brusque (not I suspect the lower level staff) without even being what one would expect in a Japanese place, which doesn't help when its not cheap and niggles like no under a tenner meals with the reward card, blatant decor mistakes like ridiculously awkward mirrors in front of the bar style seating. Hope they can improve their game and stay in business because the chefs know what they're doing even if the management are apparently trying to...
