About Us

At Okome, we believe that every meal tells a story. Born in the heart of Hawaii, our journey started with a simple passion—to create food that brings people together. Inspired by the delicate balance of traditional Japanese flavors and the vibrant energy of modern cuisine, Okome has become a place where innovation meets authenticity.

Our Philosophy

We cherish the art of balance in every dish. From the delicate, crispy bite of our signature tonkatsu to the fresh, vibrant notes of locally sourced greens, every meal at Okome is carefully crafted. Our commitment to quality goes beyond just the ingredients—we believe in creating a dining experience as warm and welcoming as the food we serve.

Locally Sourced, Globally Inspired

Hawaii’s rich cultural diversity is a constant source of inspiration for us. We strive to source the freshest local ingredients, blending the essence of Hawaii’s local flavors with the time-honored techniques of Japanese culinary tradition. Every bite is a celebration of the land, the ocean, and the farmers and fishermen who make it possible.

A Dining Experience Like No Other

At Okome, it’s not just about the food—it’s about creating moments. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick, satisfying lunch or sitting down with friends to share a comforting meal, we aim to make every visit memorable. Our open kitchen allows you to witness the craftsmanship behind each dish, while our warm, attentive service ensures you feel right at home.

Our Vision

As we continue to grow, our vision remains the same: to connect people through the power of great food. We believe in building a community where everyone can enjoy the simple pleasures of a well-made meal, while also supporting the local producers and artisans who make it all possible.
