Rolling with my favorite people enjoying every bite with my Yo-Hi sis @amy_marksberry and my mahal--this omakase was soy amazing, we're totally hooked! Tucked inside @kuhioavefoodhall @intlmktplace is a hidden omakase gem you can only catch 4 days a week @sushiogame $125 for a 16-piece omakase using premium fish from Toyosu Market--each bite is delicate, flavorful, and thoughtfully crafted by Okame-san. From Waimanalo egg to toro, uni, and a sweet conger eel finale... every course tells a story. read more

This is a unique little spot inside the International Market Place. During the week it's a bar, but on weekends it transforms into a sushi pop-up, which makes the experience feel even more special. The chef was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to, making the meal feel warm and personal. One of my favorite pieces was the squid sushi--it was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. You could tell a lot of care and attention went into every piece. If you're looking for something a little different from the usual sushi restaurants in Waikiki, this hidden gem is definitely worth checking out. read more

We live across the street and it is criminal that we have not been here sooner. We have been to many local omakase and in Japan as well. This is easily the best value for legitimate quality. We will be back. We were just there tonight and my friend is already planning to go for her birthday domo arigato. Itadakimasu read more

I have to say service was really good because we couldn't find parking at all. There was some kind of an event. The manager actually came out to the parking structure and guided us to a parking spot. a small place covered with black curtain. Sushi was very fresh. Because we were late the sushi chefs already made a bunch of sushi. I would come here again for the service. read more

My first omakase! I'm not sure why this place doesn't have better reviews because I had a great experience. The chef was really friendly he tried to make conversation when he could and he explained to us what each dish was, I didn't feel rushed. The sushi was seasoned well and not salty. It does get a little warm so my recommendation is to bring a portable fan which we did (even the other party did as well). It does get a little loud at 6 pm from the live music, but it didn't bother me so much since I was concentrated on watching the chef make the sushi. It wasn't that hard to find at the food court, there was only one bar with a black curtain. Overall I had a great experience. Will definitely come back again! read more

Here's a brief, honest review you can use: Disappointing Omakase Experience Unfortunately, this omakase fell short of expectations. I was rushed through a 16-course meal with barely any time to savor or enjoy each dish. There was little to no explanation about the items being served, which took away from the overall experience and appreciation of the chef's work. While the sushi was decent, it wasn't memorable or up to par with what you'd expect at this price point. Omakase should feel personal and curated -- this felt like a race. Would not recommend for those looking for a true omakase experience.$175 with taxes ans corkage fee. read more

Sushi Ogame - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Service 5/5 -- Server was very attentive. Chef was efficient and kept good timing between each piece Ambiance 4/5 -- Located behind a curtain in the food hall which was difficult to find. Noise level increased towards the end of the meal, live singers performed in the food hall. Dining area was very warm during the meal (perhaps just me) Food 4/5 -- 16-course omakase. Food was good, some really outperformed others. Good amount of soy sauce for my taste, but heavy on the rice and wasabi; it wasn't spread across the rice very well. I got full quickly and left the meal feeling stuffed. Decent value, paid $345 for two including 2 beers + tip. Not the most impressive omakase I've had but a pleasant experience overall. I would consider coming back read more

This place was so good!!! it's a little hidden but if you go into the international market place they have a food area to the right and in the corner that's where you'll find it. The chef made the most delicious dish's and explained what it was, the server was so kind and attentive! Such a great experience read more

There are many Omakase choices in Honolulu but $125- seems like a bargain. Located in the corner at Kuhio Food Hall I wasn't sure what to expect. Turned out to be a cozy spot. It can be a little loud but softens as the evening continues. The 16 courses were interesting and moved right along. We liked it. BYOB for now and validated parking at IMP read more

The sushi chef was very very nice, but the food was salty and over seasoned. The service was ok, but the place was rather noisy. Lastly, the price was pricey based on the experience, $145 per person plus tax. I'm feeling a need but also sorry for sharing/speaking frankly in the review, but I hope to help others who are really looking for a good quality sushi /omakase experience. read more

Sushi Ogame is a must. My friends and I have been here a few times and it's an amazing Omakase experience. He always have Nodoguro sushi on his menu. This is my all time favorite fish found only in the very depths of the Sea of Japan. The owner has the skills of a master sushi chef. The cozy modest location in the International Marketplace with lots of parking is great. The prices are very reasonable and we're certain the return. This is one place you don't want to miss out on. You will not regret dining here with your friends and family. read more

This was a big letdown.. the photos online are *very* misleading, making it seem like a proper restaurant when it's actually tucked into the corner of a food court, with just a thin curtain dividing it. Also was uncomfortably hot, and the AC desperately needs an upgrade. They require a credit card to book, so you can't cancel once you see the place. The food is wildly overpriced; the fish isn't terrible, but mid at best. If youre looking for this kind of sushi exp, I'd strongly recommend heading to SUNTORY instead - we hit this 2 days later. it's in a similar location, around the same price point, but the fish quality is truly exceptional Overall, it feels like a glorified food court bar pretending to be a restaurant. If it were half the price, Id consider it - know this in advance read more

The omakase experience is hidden in the back of the food hall behind a black curtain. It's loud and kind of a speakeasy vibe. The ambiance was actually kind of nice though overall-- surprisingly. Chef Ogame seems extremely nice and dedicated as a chef so I feel bad but my honest review was that the Omakase pieces were just not right. I really wanted to like this place. I did not feel that the food justified the price (I think it was like $125 per person). The pieces were either too salty or unseasoned. Midway through I started feeling apprehensive whenever I saw him add any soy sauce or seasoning to the fish...and I'm honestly someone who likes things more on the salty side. The level of saltiness had me wondering if there was an unhealthy amount of salt in the food --like it wasn't even just about the taste. The egg at the beginning was delicious though (this one was not too salty) which was a redeeming piece. The uni looked delicious but didn't taste as good as it looked. Overall the omakase was not worth the price and there are so many better options in Oahu. read more

Excellent food and service. Some of the best sushi I have had outside Japan. One of only two places, this, and the now defunct Maru Sushi. Service was excellent; timely but not rushed. The food was perfectly prepared, presented and served. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive. This is a pop up which is only open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and therefore being set in a corner of the food hall it can get a little noisy towards the end of the evening, only to be expected. Be prepared for that. There are two seatings: 5:30 and 7:30, the first would avoid the noise but -might- seem rushed as they have to prepare for the second seating. Whenever two seatings are available for Omakase I always choose the second to avoid this. The noise didn't bother me as I was concentrating on the food and service. The price currently, August 2025, is $125 plus tax, tip and whatever you decide to drink. I felt it was well worth it. Oishi. I wiil be here again. read more

Food and service were great except cockroach came out of nowhere on my dish!!! Also no AC in sushi restaurant is not a good combination

A hidden gem! We had a wonderful time. Chef Koichi Ogame prepared an array of the best hand picked blue fin nigiri that I've ever tasted. The ambiance was serene and intimate. I would recommend to get there early so you can find the restaurant behind a black curtain to block out the outside patrons. We even got a quick Japanese lesson from the manager there. Very friendly and professional. We will come back again to see him before we set off to Japan! Mahalo! read more

AMAZING QUALITY!!!! And the service at the bar was phenomenal. We were skeptical seeing such high ratings at a sushi place in an Asian Food Court. But we are customers for life now -- the tuna and salmon were the most incredible I've had outside of Japan. Highly recommended. read more

THE new omakase spot to go to! Right on the busy and bustling streets of Kuhio Avenue, there's a variety of eateries to choose from... but I highly recommend this place of all the restaurants!! The scallop was so sweet... chutoro was so buttery.... the ikura and uni tasted so so fresh. I could go on about how delicious everything was... Unbelievable. I can't wait to enjoy Chef Ogame's Omakase again soon read more

Ogame San ships his unique OMAKASE items from Toyosu Market in Tokyo. His chef skills are of the highest level. We loved his secret recipes and we were extremely amazed. You need to try his food and the cost value is very worth it. Ogame San serves "NODOGURO" sushi in all of his OMAKASE meals. This fish is quite rare and very expensive because it lives in the deep dark oceans of a few areas of Japan. This is definitely a favorite of many sushi diners. Google it and you'll be most anxious to taste it and never regret it. Parking is not a problem with 5 floors of parking. HAPPY DINING. Aloha to all. read more

I think some of the other reviews about this place are bit inflated. It was ok but seemed like the chef was trying too hard just to make something obscure. The service was good and the location was kind of different, but in the end it just missed the mark on the actual food. read more

Noted chef Koichi Ogame prepares Omakase in 2 seatings in a "speak easy" vibe private bar separated from the lively but noisy common space of the Kuhio Food Hall in Waikiki's International Marketplace. You definitely need a rez, and may need directions to this private bar once inside ;) What a bargain for all Japan-sourced traditional seafood dishes (16 items total) at $125. pp! We went to the 7:30 seating (be on time!). My friend and I we were allowed to bring our cocktails from the Tipsy Tiki bar into our seating. Sake and Japanese whiskeys are offered inside the classy intimate space too. In California this quality experience would run us at least $250. each. Intimate with only 10 very comfortable seats. Chef was warm and sophisticated so it felt more classic and traditional which I appreciated. Service was perfect. I have never had more perfectly prepared sushi rice and said so. Chef said he orders a specific rice for his omakase. If you're a sushi lover who appreciates classic unhyped and seriously focused omakase, don't miss this one! read more
