Okashi Japanese Arcade - Pearland, Texas

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 also well-maintained and functioned as it was supposed to. Not your typical pizza arcade experience where half the machines are maintained properly. I shall definitely return!

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.

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, and some fun party games, all imported.
There's some fun stuff for fighting/action game fans too, like Street Fighter III 3rd Strike, Tekken 7, and Gundame Extreme Versus. There're also setups for BYOC play.
The staff were also super friendly and there are a nice variety of snacks in the front.
A lot of things to do that you probably will not find anywhere else. An absolute recommend!

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!

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 occasionally change the layout, I believe, to fit more games which is awesome. Although parking is a lil tight I always recommend this place to family for fun and friends who are serious gamers!
( Don't mind how low quality my pics are its a camcorder lol )

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

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!
