Intimate 9 seat only omakase, each course was delicious and well executed. Great Service and very attentive. We came as a party of 6 last year, all agreed one of best meals we had visiting Hawaii. Came back this year and we felt the omakase was even better!

Been there twice. Both times were excellent. They are super friendly and want to talk to you. The food was ofcourse excellent. Worth the money.

If you know a real omakase in Japan, this should not be called omakase. Servers were not attentive. But if you never experience this kind of dining, it may be worth to try.
Keith
We were late because 1. we couldn't find the parking lot and 2. we couldn't find the restaurant, but they were very accommodating and we enjoyed the entire experience.

Second time here! Came Nov 2024 and now Dec 2025. While it was great value, I would have hoped for more nigiri prices, with less rice per piece. Also looked back at my pics from November and some pieces were the same. Not too sure how often the menu is supposed to change. My favorite was the mackerel, chu toro, and salmon. Can't go wrong with those! Our dessert was so good! It was a cute little spot tho! Service was good! Very tentative!

A fantastic experience, intimate and personable. The food had inventive and also very classic moments. It's advertised as being omakase with a Mexican influence, and i didn't find that to be very true. Maybe in a couple spots, but the food was fantastic and the staff skilled knowledgeable and attentive. 10/10 would do it again and would also refer anyone to this for a great experience

Previous reviews were helpful for us to find the Buho restaurant/bar/dance venue and asking the receptionist who guided us to chill at the bar as we arrived early. True, there is no Fukurou signage on the street and anywhere else so it is like a speakeasy. Buho and Fukurou mean Owl in both Mexican and Japanese. One of the sushi chef came to fetch us along the rest of the eight guests into the back (you'll never find it otherwise). Found ourselves in a small high ceiling room with an L shaped sushi counter, which resulted in an intimate setting. The two sushi chefs, guided us one by one through the 12 courses. Each course was nicely paced and the 12 different morsels were exquisite including the appropriate finishing dessert. Prior to dessert we were asked if we wanted to add on any à la carte sushi, which I asked for Uni gunkan style. Because it was my wife's and another guest's birthday, they brought out a special tray where the sushi chef sprinkled it with Matcha powder and wrote a happy birthday message in it with beautiful flair. Very touching gesture. Each party was asked which one course they liked best and it was hard to choose. Another guest was a returnee and we will go again. In summary, we're going back again for we found both sushi chefs very experienced in their craft and professionally sensitive to the customer's satisfaction. Price? More than reasonable.

Our first omakase experience and it did not disappoint. The chefs were both engaging and loved the small group dining experience, total of 8 guests at our seating. 10/10

Experience was amazing and intimate. The chefs interacted with us all, and made us feel comfortable for our first time omakase. I've never had better fish in my life here in the U.S.
Fabulous presentation, reasonable price and amazing flavor combinations. Definite must try. Located in a former storage closet of a large nightclub so try to skip the Tuesday late seating The club has Taco Tuesdays with extremely loud music which starts just as the late seating starts. The noise is well muffled at the restaurant except for the thumping bass and the wall of noise that comes when the door to the restaurant is opened. It's still an amazing experience, but the artistry of the food deserves more respect

The Omakase experience never fails as we were treated to fresh ingredients, innovative creations, and mouth watering dishes from Chef Miki! Paired with champagne for our anniversary, it was a lovely evening we won't forget!
Thanh
Amazing food and a fun dining experience. This was our most memorable and enjoyable meal in Hawaii.

Similar limited seating like other omakase restaurants but this one has a speakeasy flair. Unique dishes, especially the desert, and all flavorful. You can add ala cart dishes at the end before they serve desert to all patrons. Definitely worth the price!

Always a good experience here whenever I come to Hawaii. This my 2nd time. Will be back no doubt.
始めにかぼちゃとホタテの煮付けが出ましたがとても美味しい。 つまみとしてはそれだけで次からは握りが次々と出て丁寧に説明してくださいました。 2度目の来店でしたが、期待どおり美味しかったです。 できればもう一品つまみが欲しい。 満足できました。
