Okome House

Okome House sits on New Bern Avenue in the heart of Raleigh’s bustling North Hills district, just a short walk from North Carolina State University and the historic Oakwood neighborhood. The sleek interior blends dark wood panels with neon‑blue accents, an open hibachi grill where chefs flambé shrimp, steak and chicken tableside, and a polished sushi bar that showcases a rotating display of colorful rolls. Diners can start with the signature Pink Lady Roll—tender tuna, avocado and a hint of citrus—followed by the Crazy California Roll, a playful mix of crab, cucumber and tempura flakes. Hibachi lovers gravitate to the Steak & Shrimp combo, grilled to a caramelized finish and served with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables. For a classic comfort, the Crab Rangoon (six pieces) delivers creamy crab filling wrapped in crisp wonton, while the Shrimp Tempura Roll offers a crunchy bite of deep‑fried shrimp inside seasoned rice. The menu also features Yaki Udon with chicken and steak, teriyaki‑glazed salmon, and a selection of nigiri and sashimi sourced daily. Prices range from $8 for a simple roll to $30 for premium sashimi platters, making it a versatile spot for quick lunches, family dinners, or late‑night cravings. Open daily from 11:00 am to 9:39 pm, Okome House accepts both pickup and DoorDash delivery, and the friendly staff speak English and a touch of Spanish. Whether you’re a Raleigh local seeking reliable sushi or a visitor exploring the city’s culinary scene, the restaurant promises fresh flavors, attentive service, and a lively atmosphere that captures the spirit of modern Japanese cuisine.
