Reviews Sushi Ogame

Absolutely amazing experience. Each dish was crafted with so much care you can tell how much the owner cares for his Buisness. The sake, every type of dish, and the customer service was amazing. When I visit Hawaii again this place is definitely my go to for a quality experience!

Had an amazing omakase experience, it is obvious that extra care goes into every portion. Beyond fresh and delicious fish, the dishes were creative, with many ingredients cured, salted or broiled for days in advance, and many hard to source additions to elevate the experience. The portions are also quite generous- we left feeling happy and very full. Thanks for a great experience and delicious meal! The address is a little hard to find and reservation is definitely required. It's on the third floor behind a dark/covered door.

We visited this restaurant just over a week ago, and this review took us a while to write, solely due to the fact that our experience was absolutely ineffable. Sushi Murayama truly is a hidden gem in the sense that this piece of heaven was definitely disguised. When we walked through the door, Chef Ryugi’s daughter informed us that they were only doing omakase for that dinner service. We happily joined, and luckily there was an opening for us. Chef Ryugi Murayama guided us through a flavor journey like no other. From extremely fresh ingredients straight from Japan, to a bite that reflected a dish from his childhood, Chef Ryugi wowed us in over a million ways. He also had a true master of tempura on his team. The most perfect tempura we have ever consumed. Every ingredient was incorporated masterfully, and every dish had true passion poured into it. White bait, monkfish liver. Each and every bite was amazing. The fish could not have been more fresh if we had pulled it out of the ocean ourselves. Not only was our omakase experience truly astonishing, but this restaurant hosted two of our favorite bites on the island, honestly two of our favorite bites we have ever had. The house-made ginger was so divine that we now want to start shipping barrels of it to the mainland. The black sesame ice cream was not only the best ice cream we have ever had, but one of the best desserts we have ever been honored to put our mouths on. The sesame butter was so mouth-watering and delicious that we wish it was sold by the boat loads. We came back just before we left the island, on a mission to get more ginger and black sesame ice cream. Overall, Chef Ryugi and his team worked together flawlessly to provide us with an experience like no other. After being completely burned by two other omakases in a row, we were absolutely blessed by Sushi Murayama’s omakase, as well as this team’s utter skill and hospitality. We will make a trip back to the island specifically to revisit Sushi Murayama. We are so thankful for our experience. すごい!!!

Once in a lifetime experience that feels like you could come every day. Chef really shines with his Omakase menu and personal wit. Loved discussing the fish, the prep, and your story with you tonight while out at Murayama. Paired perfectly with our sake I could not have asked for a better feel good experience while indulging in some top shelf sushi. Well done!

There was not even a name of the restaurant posted on the door. What a mysterious place. There were only 4 parties inside when I got in. I bet it was hard to get reservations. Thanks to my friend for bringing me here. There was only a drink menu, no sushi menu. Do not request soy sauce or wasabi to insult the chef please. This is where the chef create his artwork. Each is unique and exotic. There were so many Japanese fish that I've never heard of. He sometimes uses two different types of fish on one sushi. They each compliment the taste and texture. What an experience!

Finally made it to Sushi Maruyama! Thoroughly enjoyed the delicious omakase experience at the sushi counter! Great service from friendly and fun staff! Enjoyed the new and different styles of sushi preparations and new fish we hadn't tried before.

Delicious, inventive, generously portioned—we left feeling stuffed! Service was great too: casual, friendly. If I’m looking for omakase on Oahu again, this is the place I’ll go.

Absolutely delicious!!! We went twice to this place while our stay in Hawaii. Now I want to come back to Hawaii just to eat there! Must try!!! Sushi is extremely fresh and sooooo tasty!! Everything what I tried was just top notch!!! People are complaining about size of the pieces for me it was a plus! The chef could be cheap and cut tiny pieces for the same price but he wants you to enjoy the fish to the fullest. This actually shows how good the quality of the fish is. You would not be able to eat big pieces if it was poor quality. That's one of the reasons many places cut there pieces very small so that rice and souse will take your attention away and you don't notice how bad the fish is. Prices are very reasonable too looking at the quality and the size. The chef is very friendly and made us feel very comfortable there. He also gave us very detailed info about every order he made, where the fish came from and all that. Great atmosphere. I would recommend this place to anyone who understands good sushi! If you want cheap average sushi that's not a place for you.

The omakase was one of the best experiences I've ever had. We came right before they were closing for lunch but they were still very accommodating. The chef was friendly and prepared all of the dishes perfectly. The fish was incredible. My favorite was the hamachi and the chef informed me that he has his hamachi flown in from Tsukijis in Japan. He uses different seasonings for each sushi, including lime and orange zest, different shoyus, and Kewpie mayo. The different flavors are unique but they do not overpower the taste of the fish itself. The ahi was so smooth and the cuts of fish he gave me were humongous! The chef even offered us a free black sesame ice cream at the end of our meal which was so ono! We are definitely going to be getting that the next time we come.
