Okashi Japanese Arcade

A true hidden gem, I love visiting this place when I have the chance. They have a variety of arcade machines ranging from rhythm games, fighting games, prize games and more both old and new with new machines making appearances every so often. I mostly play rhythm games but they do have a lot of them, if you are a huge rhythm game fan you'll love coming here. The community is very welcoming and it's a nice place to meet new people and make friends. I'm a bit of an introvert so I don't reach out to people bu

As soon as you walk into the Arcade, the vibe is immediately noticeable. I was reminded of the 90's and the arcade scene of those days. It was amazing how many games were packed into that space, but it was surprisingly ergonomic! I especially love how the fighting games are in the back, away from the music games. It makes it easier to focus when you're playing your street fighter or tekken. No matter what kind of games you enjoy, you're sure to find something to pour your time into. Everything was als

I absolutely love this place it's rhythm game heaven! I brought my BF from out of state to visit the IIDX cabinet and we can both say Okashi is better than any arcade even Round 1 ?? the amount imported games is dope! I will say that it probably leans more towards experienced rhythm gamers, but its fun for everyone. All of the games are in good condition, the snacks/ drinks are yummy, and the employees and players here are all super friendly. Okashis got a cool community revisiting it to play often. They

Haven't been to arcade in a long time, so seeing this pop up so close to me was a huge surprise. I didn't quite expect the selection there, but I was genuinely stunned at the incredible display of rhythm games present. There's Project Diva, Beatmania, Dance Dance Revolution, Taiko no Tatsujin, Pop's Music, and many more that I'd never even heard of prior to entering the store. While rhythm games were definitely the strength, there were still quite a variety of other games, like Initial D, Luigi's Mansion, a

Found this place by accident. Was at a close gas station and my wife wanted to know what this place was due to not making out the sign clearly. Went in and saw it was a Japanese arcade. 20 bucks and you can play all day. It's a bunch of rythem games in the front and a few fighting games in the back. My daughters had a lot of fun playing those games. They wish we had something like that where we live??

Lots of rundown games with little explanation for how to play. Not very good variety and the claw machines were not included in the $20 per person to play. Could maybe be worth $10 per person, but at current price it isn't fun and the games are not high enough quality to go. Too many better options elsewhere in the area.

I enjoyed the selection of games here compared to Dave and Buster. But be careful leaving negative reviews about this place owner seems ban heavy. Buying gloves here is overpriced too, stop by a hardware store first to grab a cheap pair instead of spending 10$ here.

Loved all the games, especially wacca and nostalgic. The worker was super friendly, loved the cosplay and customer service. The claw machines are a little buggy and wont go down all the way or just eats the coins. The snack selection was a little limited but overall a great experience. Would come back again!

Great little gem in Pearland! 15 $ all day pass. Store was clean and air conditioner was on point. We had a great time! No sticky buttons or gross seats. Staff is great. Fun products and snacks to purchase. You must take the kids this summer!

Unfortunately a rip off for the amount of games available in the fairly small space, over $40 for 2 people and going in a group you cant take turns playing/watching - dont recommend (even Vegas has a cheaper and bigger Japanese arcade). Go to Cidercade instead, a group of 4 can play for the same price!

Super amazing arcade and it had so many of my favorite games packed in an efficient space. I am starting the maimai grind here to take off the stress from dental school so it truly is a blessing for this to be nearby! Not to mention everyone was super friendly!

This is my regular go to spot for Japanese arcade rhythm games since I found this place as it is pretty near where I live. I met with a lot of friends here and honestly for anyone visiting and planning to return don't be shy to talk to a few people playing the arcade rhythm games, you might make a few new friends

I originally found this place bc it has the only Dancerush Stardom cabinet between here and San Antonio. Imo this is an arcade that has all the good stuff and none of the fluff- given I mostly only go to arcades to play rhythm games so I might be a little biased.

A lot of the games don't give you an option to have the English translation, so we were hella lost on how to play some games and guessed a lot of the way. The games weren't as clean as we hoped either because when touching the games the area was sticky and oily. And my wife tried to use the restroom, but when she came out she said it smelt like a mens urinal. And I know about a lot of different Japanese games, but it seemed like they didn't have too much variety. But $20 and you can come back anytime during

$10 for all day Sunday. Lots of rhythm games. My favorite was Dance Rush and the drum game. Staff was friendly. Nice to have an arcade on this part of town.

Great spot to take the kids. Not crowded. Although the majority of the games are not in English, the kids were able to figure it out. Overall a good time

This place is fantastic - I came mostly to play DIVA but they have a large selection of other rhythm games. All of the cabinets seem to be in great condition. Staff is friendly, and $15 for all you can play is a steal. I will definitely be back!

one of my favorite spots to hang out in houston! tons of rhythm games to choose from, friendly staff, and a good selection of snacks and drinks to purchase. it's the only place in houston i can find some of my favorite games!

Went here played some arcade saw 3rd strike played it for 6 hours. Lol has other arcades which are insanely good , but this place atmosphere is great and would come back

Great little spot in Pearland for all sorts of Japanese games and snacks. We decided to go as a family and loved every minute of it! Some games were not on, but that's understandable, and something normal in arcades! Absolutely LOVED the vibe and atmosphere. Plus open games for 10 bucks a person on Sundays?! Sign me up! Other players were respectful and we all took turns accordingly. Super nice host as well! My kiddo was able to experience what games we used to play and found some new games he loves! A grea

Cute spot. Really enjoyed having more japanese games locally. We did wait ten minutes for someone to come to the front before we had to search for help. We get that though, it happens. Kind of hard to hear a few of the games since others seem far louder. Initial D was harder to hear than midnight. Gundam was really quiet. Games on the left side with circle were almost silent. Along with one near the front on the right. Next time you close be a little less pushy. We read that it said midnight on Google. S

I HAD FUN, especially since I'm a rhythm gamer, not usually "Arcade." This opened a new fun for me. LIKE TAIKO, Hatsune miku, and many other games I could say I very much like this place. Arcade version of the games such a different experience !

Lots of rhythm games to choose from as well as some racing and lekker, fun date night place.

I came here bc my kid wanted to try this. He didn't like it....but I DID!! It was fun. I had never even heard of this type of arcade but I would go again without my kid.

Pretty decent fun. You should bring headphones though for the rhythm games

If you're a rhythm gamer you'll love it here. Huge selection of Japanese rhythm games along with fighting and racing games. The machines are well maintained and I only encountered a couple not working. Prices are reasonable but the discount days are a great deal. The area can get a bit cramped but there's tables to sit down and relax after a gaming session.

A lot of fun, games we in decent condition and felt like a good deal for all you can play.

This is a hidden gem in Houston TX we had a great time here loved the Luigi's ghost hunting game ??

If you're an avid rhythm gamer and happen to be in the Houston area, I STRONGLY recommend trying this place out. They pretty much have every popular rhythm game here, which you can play to the full extent the game gives, something not even Round1 can replicate.

The nice thing about the flat rate all-day pass is that I got to play some new games that I've seen before but didn't want to pay extra to play at other arcades, like maimai and taiko drum master! I also got to play dancerush for the first time and it was unexpectedly super fun :) I came to play pump it up and the machine (running PIU XX) is well maintained, except that the left handlebar is loose.

It's small but I had fun I hope to see more games in the future! ??

As an avid player of Rhythm games, this one is a real hidden gem. If you want to try some new and imported (directly from JP) arcade games, this place is a must. Cost wise it is also very accessible, charging around 20 dollars for as long as you want to stay. I only recommend for those that are new to it, to eventually look into making/purchasing an IC card to save your data.

visited while on a brief vacation and i was obsessed. my only complaint was the gashapon machines were basically all empty (but that could have changed since). it's a flat fee to play games as long as you want. getting to play my favorite japanese game pop'n music was awesome since it's hard to find anywhere in the US!!

I came here while visiting Houston a couple times. Loved the arcade and the machines, however, the Owner got extremely agitated towards me after I made a suggestion and deleted my messages. Will not be coming here again due to narrow mindedness and childish behavior from the owner. Will not recommend at all especially if you have new ideas to bring.

Such a fun little arcade with lots of Japanese rhythm games! My favorite was the 2p zombie shooter. Will be back again!

Checked this place out today as a place for my nephews and niece. The people were cool, It was really cool and the cost was definitely reasonable. If you're into those games I definitely recommend you go and have some fun!

Awesome new location!! the staff and regulars are all super nice. the game variety is super unique and something for everyone. Lots of rhythm games and fighter cabs straight from Japan but also some classics like DDR/ITG and street fighter 3. I go anytime I can and always have a blast. There's no place like it in Houston.

Small but good. Some of the games are getting a little old but they are pretty well kept.

This place on the outside looks like a specialty garage that works with Japanese imports on cars. But inside is where the real fun is at because it is subtlety an arcade full of Japanese arcade games, with a few classic American ones. The arcade may seem small, but they are not short on rhythm games. In fact, Okashi has more rhythm games than Dave and Busters, so if you're looking for games to dance and groove to, Okashi is a must. This is a tiny gem that shines bright in Houston, and most of the time, you

THEY HAVE MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: EXTREME VS. 2 XBOOST! highly recommended game for any gundam fans. ( snacks are kind of expensive & only predicted to rise in price given the proposed...tariff. )

EDIT: When I wrote the initial review, it seems that I have just attempted to go to okashi when it was labeled in a different location. The signage was there but the spot was clearly empty. But past all the confusion they're back in their original spot and there's even an added fighting games spot. Im glad Okashi is back, their one time payment for accessing the whole arcade is the best business practice ever. I don't have to worry about how I'm spending my tokens and it keeps the vibes incredibly chill w

I haven't played Beatmania in a long time, tried driving down here to try stuff. It's a hole in the wall, and it's hard to hear a couple of the machines. But it's $20 to spend the evening with a bunch of great import rhythm games that you can't find anywhere else in Houston right now, and all the machines seemed to be clean and maintained. I'll have to get down here again.

This place was AMAZING!!!! Felt as if I instantly stepped into a portal to a Japan Arcade. The staff was absolutely fantastic and helpful. We will definitely return in the future.

i came here 2 days ago (or so). At first, i felt skeptical of the place, as it doesn't look good from the outside, but i was surprised when i entered. the games were super fun, although most of them were claw machine-type. for each person, you pay $20, but afterwards you can play any game you want. it's just for fun so you dont win tickets or any of that, unless you play one of those luck-based games. i'm a huge fan of rythym games so you can be sure i had a lot of fun. also, the owner is really cute and fr

Gotta say that this place is not worth another visit. 20$ to play trash rhythm games and little variety. Some old Asian guy kept staring at my niece and I while we were trying to enjoy our time which gave me creep vibes. Not coming here again. Better games at Cidercade for 12$

I never leave reviews, but this place deserves a shoutout. Every fan of Japanese culture needs to come and check out these imported Japanese arcade games! They also have Japanese snacks and merchandise, and very friendly staff who will help you learn how to play (some of these games are still in Japanese!). This is a great place for a date, or to hang out with a group of friends. Had a lot of fun tonight, and I'm very excited to see them grow! Anyone who remembers and misses the old Planet Zero arcade -need

I went here a week or 2 ago, they offer a lot of stuff that cider doesn't have and I really like the gachapon selection. It saves me a trip to San Antonio or Austin to play Rhythm Games!

A small somewhat hidden arcade that I've frenquented since I learned about it. In my heart this is a 5 star venue for what it offers as far as japanese games, snacks and merch. They have fined tuned their layout over time and are intent on ensuring their games not only are well maintained but also updated and networked for use with IC cards. The venue does get crowded on weekends and holidays but for regulars and serious gamers who stay till close, this is a non-issue given that those rushes are generall

This is legitimately the best place to play Japanese rhythm games in Houston period. I love to come here every once in a while to chill out and play some of machines that I once thought was impossible to reach unless I'm in Japan. The only thing I wish they have is the latest Taiko cabinet. Sure, they do have the latest software version of Taiko: Nijiro running, but the hardware itself is version 13 (if I remember correctly). This means that I can't use my Namco pass and save any of my scores which sucks s

Nice hole in the wall arcade. All games are Japanese and are all free to play with the admission fee. Good place to kill some time with a bit more involvement than regular arcades.

Good price for unlimited play and lots of Japanese only games. This place would be much more fun if they ever chose to expand or move to larger location.

Had an amazing experience. The taiko cabinet is in perfect condition and was recently updated to include new songs. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Houston!

It's a genuine arcade with Capcom, NeoGeo, and other classics from the Arcade Cabinet era. This place is perfect to try out with friends and the fighting game lineup is also pretty cool. Their imported snacks and beverages are of good quality and I enjoyed the visit. Additionally, the toys they have are also nice looking and I do plan to visit again.

This place is a newly-established hidden gem for Japan and arcade lovers alike. Great snacks and trinkets and around 20 or so arcade games from both US and Japan with some really unique and fun options! It was a great place for an inexpensive, fun date. Plan to be back and hope they consider adding more Japanese crane games as they get up and running!

Amazing Japanese arcade if your into rhythm or fighting games. Lot of anime merch on sale as well. Your entry fee also is all day so if you can grab dinner and then come back if you havent gotten your fix yet. Data cards and gloves are also for sale making your gaming experience even better.

Went to check out this arcade and it was awesome, they have a huge selection of imported rhythm games and other interesting cabs! Will definitely be visiting whenever I'm in Houston again.

Awesome place! They have lots of obscure rhythm games all the way from Japan! They even have an area to play different fighting games, classic and modern! For $15 you can play any game as much as you want

Selection is rather limited, the place is fun nonetheless.

This place is well hidden and looks very much new still. However, the potential is there and it already has a distinct establishment for itself given where it's located. It has an assortment of imported snacks and beverages for sale. The toys and trinkets are also of good quality. They do have some funko pops and yes, they are legitimate too! The other big thing they have here is an assortment of arcade machines. This includes a NeoGeo cabinet, some Capcom classics, and more cabinets that store some classi

The perfect example of a locally owned arcade; The people here are extremely friendly, whether it be the other customers, or the amazing company of Sean, Jess and Tory! The selection of games is amazing, and seems to grow each time I visit, and I can't wait to see where things go with Okashi!

The new location is even better than the old one! Staff is super responsive to machine problems, the game selection is fantastic (especially for rhythm games), and the crowd that goes here is super friendly. PLEASE try Scotto I'm BEGGING you

amazing place with friendly and helpful people! will definitely come again! :) it's a shame that their groove coaster machine wasn't working though.

Great import arcade shop. Lots of interesting games that I haven't seen in many other places (mostly rhythm based). Happy to see they moved to a bigger location recently.

Constant costumer, but the new guy who work there is truly so lazy, legit asked him the same question 4 times and completely ignored it, legit asked for tokens for the machines, he gave me some that didn't even work, was rude when I asked for help with the bills for the machines too, ur job is to help, no to seat around the whole shift watching anime dawg.

This is a really fun arcade to go to if you like rhythm games or fighting games, everyone is nice and friendly and the place is well maintained, the machines are well taken care of and they offer online support to save your data on the go, I will say that the price is a bit high for some but is definitely worth the visit, only downside is the price on weekdays but the Sunday price makes it worth staying until around midnight

Thank you owner! The place is fun to go if you want to play some imported games. Good place for a date and they sell imported cars.

Great spot with plenty of arcade games imported from Japan to choose from, such as Taiko No Tatsujin or Dance Dance Revolution. Plenty of classic American arcade machines too. They have a great curated selection of imported Japanese merchandise as well, saw plenty of official anime figurines as well as model JDM cars for car enthusiasts that can't afford to buy real versions of a Toyota AE86. Great selection of snacks as well, saw some Calpico and couldn't resist to pick up a bottle to refresh myself with.

Great environment, will be back.

Most of the games were broken, there wasn't much to offer, it felt super shady in there, it was crowded and over all probably one of the worst arcades I have been to. We looked around and left.

The only rhythm game arcade in Houston I'd like to save for myself but it's too good GC, Chuni good condition Sdvx as well Taiko is a bit old, but that's quite usual

Amazing games for good prices. Enjoy the arcade experience for the old prices. Amazing staff, modest selection of weeb goodies and snacks/drinks up front. 10/10 would go again

Excellent arcade! Curbs my rhythm game addiction after a vacation in JP/PH. If you're ever around, I highly recommend to stop by.

Fun times but can be busy on the weekends. The games stay updated and they sell the game cards as well, so you can save your progress.

the owner is extremely nice, has cabs you can't really play elsewhere. the fact it's so cheap as well to is a plus. really good place 12/10

This is such a fun place to hang out and play video games! They also have a great selection of drinks and snacks! Definitely a must stop in Houston!

A small place but going for the games that you can't find anywhere else is absolutely worth the trip. All-you-can-play for only $15 makes this a great spot to spend a few hours!

By far the best spot for Japanese games. They have they games PZ including Maximum tune

My friend and I recently visited this past weekend. The AC was broken and it was hotter inside then out. Also a lot of the machines weren't working. So all in all I don't recommend this arcade. Especially for $15

Do you have loving deads house of deads ex

I just loved the video game but one of the games were only Japanese so I couldn't really understand but I really like the piano one because it had "grunge" from LISA and I still have the wristband on ????

Definitely a great arcade experience, they have many Japanese rhythm games to play and even fighting games.

The A/C is back and the additional fans are placed well for DDR and elsewhere in the shop. Glad to revisit so many songs!

Lovely atmosphere for those who wanna try nice games without the loudness of full sized arcades. Incredibly friendly people!

Love the eclectic Japanese games? Don't look for the regular stuff here? This is all really cool Japanese market stuff!

i Love rhythm game Very friendly community, fun all day, and overall great place to be !!!

Every game is in excellent condition and made many friends during my year+ of being a regular including the love of my life, chunithm penguin

10/10 lil slice of Japanese arcade rhythm Heaven would def recommend coming, I hope this place gets bigger and gets more machines in the future

This place was absolutely great the kids enjoyed the video games and the snacks are are wonderfully different and very tasty, the staff is friendly, knowledgeable,as well as helpful they was able to answer all my questions with a smile will diffently be coming back for another visit
