Kome Express

really nice little eatery. surprised me for sure. korean cuisine but we weren’t very adventurous. we only ordered a selection of wings and chilli chips. we weren’t very hungry and needed something quick. they were reasonably priced and friendly. and a very good location if you are visiting hackney empire. would definitely go back. we got dry (original), and then two marinated styles of honey & garlic and yangnyeam. both were very good and the pictures can corroborate. but the surprise for me were the chilli chips. dry, as in not marinated a huge amount but so much flavour. try for yourself

The wings omg were amazing. I just went in a short while. Extremely hungry and got the teryaki dunbori and the honey and garlic butter wings plus a portion of the chilli chips and chicken bibmap. Those wings were absolutely amazing melt in your mouth flavours and the texture and absolute delight. I find many places which sell breaded wings the texture is somewhat dry and not just very palatable but these wings were without a doubt some of the best I've had in a very long time.
The teryaki chicken donburi was very tasty packed with flavours and the rice cooked to perfection.
The chilli chips were so tasty and the texture was such a nice surprise definitely would recommend them.
The chicken bibmap was very tasty packed full of flavours and the noodles it came with was cooked well and not stodgy or overcooked as I've experienced in other places.

Delicious Japanese takeaway in Hackney Central

I had been @kome_chigwell for several times and the foods were excellent. Recently they open a new shop @komeexpresshackney in Hackney and is located only 3mins away from Hackney Central overground.

WHAT I GOT
🥟Chicken Gyoza
🍗Yakitori
❤️Salmon Lover Set
🍣Spicy Tuna Roll
🐲Dragon Roll
🦆Crispy Duck Bun
🍛Chicken Katsu Don
🧋Black sugar / Matcha bubble tea

Salmon Lover Set is so cute with a heart❤️ shape box. The salmon is very fresh and full of fish oil. Spicy Tuna Roll with perfect ratio of rice to tuna for the ultimate balanced bite. Dragon Roll is a magic combination of avocado and Katsu king prawn. So delicious 😋😋😋

Crispy Duck Bun consists a great amount of duck slices and salad. The duck sauce level up the taste of bun. Chicken Katsu Don is defo the must eat item. The chicken totally covers the bowl and it’s crispy & perfectly match with the curry sauce. Love it😍😍😍

If you love bubble tea, you shouldn’t miss out their selection. I love the strong tea base with the warm & chewy boba pearls. 🥰🥰🥰

How’s the gyoza and yakitori? See my next post on Instagram @ccgyozalover for details 🤗

@komeexpresshackney offers a high quality Japanese foods on a very reasonable price and you can order takeaway or delivery via @deliveroo and other delivery platforms. Try it and you will love it❤️❤️❤️

Small Korean-Japanese place in Hackney. The food was very disappointing, particularly the Korean fried chicken which was mostly made of hard bread crumbled and not much meat. There was very loud music (which the waiter lowered when asked) and the floor seemed completely wet and sticky. Definitely doesn't deserve the high rating. If you'd consider it, only as a takeaway.

It's not always I give away 5 stars. I have to visit a place twice before reviewing it. I am very critical, just take a look at all my past reviews!

However...

Kome Express 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟

Ordered:

- Gyoza Prawn x2
- Japenese Wings
- Banana Style Half and Half
- Round Bowl (Sweet and Sour Dpn)
- Sushi
- Passion Bubble Tea

This was a meal for 2 turned into 3.5! Their portions are very generous and well worth the money you pay for.

The wife and I enjoyed the Gyoza Prawns, fresh off the hob melts in your mouth!

Japenese wings were crispy and spicy, the flavours on the skin are just 👌🏽

Bananas style half and half you get half original style peppered fried chicken and the other half spicy. Uffff tasty.

Round Bowl is very filling, sticky rice with original kome express sweet and sour chicken.

The Sushi was the killer. The wife is the Sushi connoisseur. She loved it so much she didnt want to finish it. Half of it is left in the fridge saving it for tomorrow. She even asked me to take a close up photo so she can work out the filling! That Sushi was ram packed full of flavour and ingredients!

And of course the bubble tea - you cant fault that.

I dont believe in perfect reviews there has to be room for improvement and so here it is...

I had to travel 35 mins from Forest Gate to Dalston and back. Over an hours drive to pick up great tasting food.

Kome Express can you please move to Forest Gate or somewhere in Stratford so I dont have to travel so far!?

Everything is halal except the following items: Beef, Chicken gyoza, Yakitori sticks, Chicken karaage. Everything else is halal.
