"We could write a whole guide about food in Honolulu’s dive bars: it’s that good. And Omakase by Bobae is one of the best examples of how high our standards are. You can find this sushi bar Monday through Wednesday at the liquor bar of Back Alley Cafe, where the one-woman show serves seasonal nigiri topped with luxe ingredients like fatty nodoguro and Hokkaido scallops dotted with yuzu kosho. Bobae isn’t the only union of a dive and sushi bar you’ll find in Honolulu, but it does stand out for the delicateness of the raw fish and more casual setup than other sushi spots of the caliber. Check the Instagram for monthly specials and bento drops." - Martha Cheng
