    Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... Finding a place that none of us had ever been was challenging... but we did it! Using the Yelp app, we found Izakaya Hideyoshi inside of Osoyami Bar & Grill. It turned out better than expected because customers can order from both menus. Some of us got Japan Uni Ikura Don (me), and other people ordered Garlic fries, chicken wings, and a vegan burger (Bruddah Fran). Jackie even got a teriyaki burger, and Irene got loaded tater tots! LOL! We tried to make reservations via Instagram chat, but it's first come, first served. I made sure that I was first to enter the door when it opened at 6pm. Being early also helped with the parking because when we left, people were double parking in the free lot in front of the restaurant. We enjoyed the lively, loud, dimly lit bar environment. There's a cool dragon drawing that runs along the length of the large room! Sadly, there's no karaoke anymore, but the dart boards are still there!

    Business permits.

    What a great place to have a get together! Shout out to Nadine C. for the UYE! Jolene L., Irene M. and Fran C. Izakaya Hideyoshi is truly a hidden gem. It's hidden because the front entrance to the restaurant is within Osoyami Bar & Grill! No visible signage for Izakaya Hideyoshi! IYKYK kind of place. Thank goodness for Yelp reviews! Bar atmosphere here. Nice booth decor and games you may play here. You may order from both restaurants here. Just pay separately. Orders will be brought to your booth. A bit noisy, so be prepared to use your loud voice lol. Fun atmosphere and it gets crowded. Food from both restaurants is tasty. I enjoyed the tater tots a lot. Thanks Irene! My order of spicy tuna roll and teriyaki burger and fries were yummy. Took home the burger and fries for hubby. Fran C's yummy garlic fries and more were great (but his homemade cookies were sooo delicious)! Nadine's sassy ikura and uni bowl was exquisite! Jolene .. I forgot what you ordered . I'm terrible. We were talking so much lol. The best was the friendship and getting together to share a new foodie experience! Thanks again Nadine C. for a memorable experience! Food: 4/5 stars Ambiance: 4/5 stars Service: 5/5 stars UYE experience: 5/5 stars

    Thank you Nadine... For finding this gem that's hidden right inside Osoyami Bar & Grill though you wouldn't even realize this until you walk in and see some of the vibe scattered around including on the tv screens highlighting some of his menu options and since it's walk in only we arrived as soon as they open at 6pm and parking here as we all know majority surrounded by a residential neighborhood is the biggest challenge though they do have a lot which is shared as well is quite small. Ordering from both menus are by QR code which is provided on all tables though we are a party of five (Nadine, Fran, Jolene, Jackie and myself) it was preferred to have several checks which was possible if we walked up to the bar and order individually and pay where you give your name so that when the order comes out know which one is yours. Since I came here to see what was available to offer and was impressed to see so many options including agenasu, jidori karaage, and Teri truffle edamame from the appetizer along with choices from donburi, sushi, sashimi and nigiri sushi. I originally leaned towards the donburi but decided on the "Tuna Tataki"...simple name with a complex build and this stunning work of art was the perfect bite. Tuna Tataki is a block of local big eye tuna that's perfectly seared and is sliced and laid on a bed of julienne daikon, sweet onion, seaweed salad soaked in ponzu sauce...yuuuuuuummy! it's ten topped with drizzled garlic mayo and sprinkled with kaiware, tobiko and garlic chips...absolutely stunning! Absolutely perfection and what a delicate dish regardless of it all it was just the perfect bite and it was a happy happy joy moment. I also ordered the loaded tots from Osoyami's menu since it's a party here why not have a bite of an item that's totally shareable though you need to pay separate since it's from two different biz. Other items ordered from here is the Japan Uni Ikura Don but since we're able to order from both menu is very nice and convenient as well where it was the Vegan Teriyaki Burger, Teri Cheeseburger, Basket-o-fries, Garlic Fries, Fried Kimchi Potstickers and Chicken Wings was ordered. Izakaya Hideyoshi in Osoyami is a wonderful combination that I'm so delighted to have experienced thank you to my Yelpies for the homemade cookies, snacks and treats the evening was just a great gathering night filled with fun and food! Thank you!

    If you haven't been to Izakaya Hideyoshi yet, do yourself a favor and check out this hidden gem located inside of Osoyami Bar and Grill in town. Chef Hideyoshi is the former head sushi chef from Izakaya Torae Torae, and his food is delicious. Made fresh to order, the spicy tuna don is an incredibly flavorful family favorite. We also love the hamachi carpaccio with a wonderful balance of flavors. It's so ono we snagged two pieces before remembering to take a picture. He's added some great hand rolls to the menu, the Hideyoshi and Negitoro Ikura. For now his Happy Hour specials are all night Tues, Wed, Thurs, and Sunday 6pm-midnight and Fri/Sat 10pm-12am. Come soon to catch these great deals, you won't regret it! We love that you can order off the bar menu too, which has awesome burgers, pupus, and other bar grub at great prices. Our kids love the free, old-school arcade games. The drinks are solid, unique, and reasonably priced with $3 drafts and well drinks for happy hour. Chef Hideyoshi believes in only using the highest quality ingredients. If you appreciate supporting our local food scene, please take the time to check out Izakaya Hideyoshi.

    After watching a play, we swung by Izakaya Hideyoshi for Happy Hour specials (10pm to closing)! This was our first time visiting since chef Hideyoshi left Izakaya Torae Torae to start his new venture at Osoyami Bar & Grill and we were excited to finally visit (and use the discounted gift certificates that he has been holding on to for us for 6 months). The food is just as amazing, fresh and affordable as expected. OMG, the portions are way bigger than we remembered. Hands down, one of my favorite Izakaya spots on the island! Our server was really friendly and helpful. At this time, you can't make reservations for Hideyoshi, but you can make reservations for Osoyami if you will be largely ordering from the Osoyami menu. There are 2 menus you can order from: Hideyoshi and Osoyami. We ordered mainly from Hideyoshi's HH menu and then drinks and tater tots from Osoyami. Everything was delicious! I LOVE that you can order from 2 different menus. Portions all around were generous. I then soon went again 2 more times within 1 week. I LOVE the negitoro uni bowl w/ add on uni. It's heaven in a bowl for me. High quality fresh seafood on a bed of delicious sushi rice at a reasonable price. My bf and I also particularly enjoyed the gyudon, hamachi carpaccio, and age nasu). I can't recommend this place enough.

    Cocktails!

    Cute place...total gamers place but we enjoyed the food. Didn't have Hamachi Kama but we did get our Hamachi fix. Loved the eggplant and tuna tataki! Little loud for us but again this was a bar, gaming place.

    Checking out Hideyoshi's Hideyoshi formally head chef from Izakaya Torae Torae went out on his own and opened this spot located in Osoyami Bar and Grill. He has the classic items from Torae but also made a few new items. The service provided by the Osoyami bar wait staff was great, they were attentive and pleasant. Parking is limited, there are maybe 10 or so stalls in front, then it would be street parking. There were dart boards in the bar as well, so bring your darts and hang out after for some drinks

    Carpaccio
    Sang Yoon K.

    Hidden away in Osoyumi is a chef Hide's izakaya menu. From someone who has worked in multiple restaurants (Japanese including +5 years) I found that the chef's food was very refreshing in uniqueness and carried a lot of that local style Japanese flavors, making it not just another sushi restaurant. All the food was delicious and I highly recommend the carpaccio. Its a dish I can see everyone enjoying. The donburi's were all great and adventurous in idea. I can't wait to go back with some friends to try the other dishes. I do recommend that ordering from the osoyumi's if the server says the sushi side is backed up because the food can take quite awhile. The loaded taters and cheese sticks were great fast appetizers from the bar side.

    Donburi
    Sang Yup K.

    Head chef from Torae Torae's new spot Best donburis on the island. Highly recommend try to go when its not to busy as its a one man operation.

    Toro don
    Hanhie D.

    This little spot is tucked inside Osoyami bar. If you're wondering when it opens, i believe it's the same hours as the bar which opens at 6pm. At least that was the case on Sunday. We had the toro don and added Uni ($40+). Also tried the karage and tuna appetizer. It was pretty good but not sure it's quite worth the price and the bowl isn't all that huge either. The staff were super nice and attentive. The ambiance is just bar-y, does not have any izakaya vibes which would be fine if you weren't paying $$$.

    Negitoro ikura add uni don
    Amy A.

    My husband surprised me with a belated Valentine's Dinner and as usual, he knows me and my stomach's desires so well. We used to go to his original spot up the street for special occasions and sometimes just random date nights. We got here probably 15 minutes before opening and sat in the parking lot before lining up (as in one other couple was there). The wait was non-existent to be seated and I'm glad we went when it opened as I know this place gets busy. I like the relaxed bar environment and that one of the televisions had HGTV just in case you didn't want to watch the sports on haha. The staff were attentive, quick, and friendly. There will be separate checks for the bar food vs Chef Hide's but I didn't see any problem with that and liked having so many options. The menu is limited but in a good way. All the oldies are here!! We didn't want to take any leftovers home so we limited ourselves- don't laugh I'm sure this doesn't seem scaled down, but it is for us hehe. I enjoyed the lychee spritz so dangerous. Nice flavor and not overly boozy when you mix it which I tanked at the end. We had the chuuka iidako, ahi tataki, chawanmushi, gyudon, and the negitoro ikura (add uni, durr) don. From the bar we added fries because why not! Fries were crispy and salty but not over salted which is hard to get right. The food tasted just like I remembered. Prices are very reasonable for the portion size. I love iidako and it tasted exactly how I expected and am familiar with. Ahi tataki was fresh and I loved the ponzu lord of daikon with the drizzle of garlic mayo. Chawanmushi was so delicate and flavorful and the uni and ikura on top was a nice touch. Gyudon was perfect, soft cooked egg, mix of meaty and fatty pieces of beef that wasn't too sweet which I personally prefer, and lots of yummy rice to soak it all up! Can never go wrong with the negitoro ikura don with uni... so so good. I seem to recall it coming with a special soy sauce before but maybe I'm thinking of somethin else, either way it was exactly what I remembered and I'm so happy it is still offered. Uni is fresh and doesn't have the yucky aftertaste some bad uni has, never a problem here. We will be back and try more dishes. Arigatou, chef.

    Gyudon, negitoro ikura don, tekka don

    So glad we finally got to try this place! I had heard that the tables are limited and there can be a wait, but we got lucky! We went right at 6pm on Sunday and it was not crowded at all. We got the hamachi carpaccio, spicy ahi roll, and 3 donburi. Staff were super attentive and also it was not a long wait for the food at all. The bar itself is a little dark, or maybe I'm just getting old. Everything was excellent, fresh, and full of flavor. Also, Chef Hide came out to say hello which I thought was so nice of him! We were too full to order more but I guess that means we will be back!

    Gyudon! So good! And filling! Knocks your socks off!
    Jaimie K.

    Service was amazing! Chef Hide is a magician in the kitchen! Best place to hit up izakaya at night! Grab drinks, good food, and the perfect date spot! 10/10

YES CRAB MISO SOUP! ) and one with a mix of everything. They were all delicious. They even have recommendations on how to enjoy them best especially if you get the egg yolk shoyu to add to it. I highly suggest you do - absolute game changer! Our little one enjoyed a small bowl of udon as well. The ambiance is chill considering the seating is very limited (15 seats approximately). It's all bar seating arrangement where you can see the staff cook the food. Oh, by the way, we saw Amy Hill here! You know the auntie with the butcher knife who works at the restaurant in 50 First Dates!

    I understand the hype. The best comparison I can make is this: what Ichiran did for ramen, Totoya…read morehas done for seafood bowls. It takes something familiar, strips away the unnecessary decisions and turns it into a process that's incredibly easy to enjoy. The restaurant is tiny, but everything feels deliberate. The staff keeps things moving without making you feel rushed, our waitress was genuinely wonderful with our kids and even the people waiting around us couldn't have been friendlier. It felt like everyone was in on the same little secret. The first surprise wasn't even the fish. It was the cabbage salad. Shredded cabbage, crispy noodles, miso yuzu dressing. That's it. Somehow it's one of the best salads I've had in a long time. It's the kind of dish that makes you wonder why nobody else bothers to do something so simple this well. Then came the negitoro bowl. The ikura shower is absolutely worth the extra ten bucks. Yes, it's a little theatrical with the bell ringing, but if you're going to pour an avalanche of salmon roe over my bowl, you might as well make a show of it. The crab miso soup upgrade is another easy yes. The crab almost feels like they're apologizing in advance for ruining every ordinary bowl of miso soup you'll have afterward. It isn't perfect but nothing is. The rice was a little clumpy and needed to be broken apart. After a while, the flavors begin to blend together more than I expected and those beautiful sheets of nori lose the battle against Hawaii's humidity pretty quickly. They look incredible, but they become soft before you can really enjoy them. I also wish I could order another bowl of that cabbage salad by itself. Our kids demolished the udon. Perfect texture, comforting broth and probably the easiest win of the entire meal. Will we come back? Absolutely. Totoya isn't trying to reinvent Japanese food. It's taking a handful of excellent ingredients, removing the friction and executing the experience with remarkable consistency. Sometimes that's what great restaurants do.

We sat at a two-person table and still had plenty of room for all of our food, which is always appreciated because nobody wants to play plate Tetris during dinner. We ordered the Wagyu and the chicken tonkatsu, and both were so good. The Wagyu was especially fun because we got to grill it ourselves at the table, making the meal feel more like an experience than just dinner. The chicken tonkatsu was crispy, juicy, and exactly what we were hoping for. I also loved that they offer refills on the cabbage and vegetables, just like in Japan. It's one of those small touches that makes the whole meal feel more authentic. The highest praise came from my preteen, who said it was the best tonkatsu he's had outside of Japan. Honestly, that is a serious review from a kid who knows his tonkatsu. Great food, fun experience, nice ambiance, and a little Japan-in-Honolulu moment. We'll definitely be back.

There was a couple in front of us who said they come here every time they visit Hawaiʻi and that it's a must-do stop on every trip. When you walk in, it's a small place. You can watch a team member washing the noodles and portioning them into bowls right in front of you. Then you choose your bowl size, small or large, and select your broth. After that, you get to choose from a variety of fried items and other à la carte options displayed on a warmer. Seating can be limited because of how busy this place gets. You line up to get your food, pay for it, grab your condiments, utensils, and a cup of water, then find a seat and enjoy. I've already been here twice, and after writing about my experience, I need to make a third visit happen very soon! There are not enough days off in a week to enjoy all of the amazing food on this island, but I'm going to do my best to experience as many places as I can. This place is totally worth the 45-minute commute from Wahiawa.

This place has been a staple for my family ever since we moved back to O'ahu a few years ago. Bottom line? The soba noodles here are utterly fantastic. They are, in my humble opinion, the best on the island, and some of the best soba noodles I've ever had. I don't think anywhere else in Honolulu comes close. You come here to eat soba. Period. In addition to the soba being phenomenal, the other offerings at i-naba are also similarly great. Their tempura in particular is outstanding. I typically order the Jumbo Shrimp Tempura Bowl & Soba or the Dx Tempura Bowl & Soba. Plus an upgrade to a large size soba! The tempura is sooo good. It's crispy, light, and airy. The jumbo shrimp is especially succulent and tender. And the ingredients are always perfectly seasoned with the sweet and savory house sauce. Yummmy!
