Okinawa Pref. Nahashi Nishi 1-7-3

Located in Naha City, Jack’s Steak House is a long-established steak restaurant that opened in 1953, not long after the end of the Second World War. It offers delicious, high-quality steak at reasonable prices, and is popular with both tourists and locals. The interior, which is reminiscent of an American diner, still features the “A Sign” permit awarded to the restaurant during the American Occupation.

Great dinning choice. Food was attractive. Price is great overall basis. Hidden in a corner and thus may take an effort to search for the location.

Okinawa Pref. Kunigamigunonnason Nakadomari 885

Seaside Drive-in in Onna Village, Okinawa Prefecture is an American-style restaurant. It is open 24 hours, and everything on the menu which is a fusion of Japanese and Western is available for take-out. Despite the American-style facade, it is a fun place which has a range of antique toys and an aquarium where you can see tropical fish. It faces the sea so you can gaze at the beautiful sunset in the evening.

Loved the charm of the place. Our Okinawan friend took us here on our way to our hotel and we thought it was a lot of fun and great value for money!

Okinawa Pref. Kunigamigunonnason Serakaki 1669-1

Okinawa soba noodles have various tastes depending on the region. At this store, their hand-prepared and thin 100% wheat flour sea lettuce noodles using homemade sea lettuce without preservatives are popular. The soup base is rich with pork and bonito, but the noodles go perfectly with the simple soup. Fish cakes with sea lettuce, pork ribs, sea lettuce and red pickled ginger are used as topping.

Great service- super quick and tasty food. Awesome outdoor seating although it is in the back and you cannot enjoy their amazing oceanview! It was a nice place for a quick lunch

Charlie's Tacos was the first taco restaurant on Okinawa when it opened in 1956. The original taco recipe developed by the restaurant's founder proved very popular with U.S. military personnel, and Charlie's Tacos has since become a long-term favorite with local people, too.

Okinawa Pref. Nakagamigunchatanchou Miyagi 2-99

This 36-year-old Okinawa soba noodle restaurant is a symbol of Okinawa. Their traditional salty soup that uses no soy sauce has the condensed savoriness of pork, chicken and skipjack, and is popular for its unique irresistible flavor. Their “Hamaya soba” with pork cartilage soki boiled until soft and their “Okinawa soba” topped with cartilage soki and boneless rib of pork are especially popular.

So glad we visited. Its very casual inside - you pay at the vending machine out front and get a ticket - prices are great. The soba was wonderful. The pork is so tender it just melts in your mouth...

Okinawa Pref. Nahashi Makishi 3-1-6 Studydam Building 2F

The long-standing “Steak House88” has its main location in Tsuji of Naha City. This is the Kokusai-dori Street branch.

Its location near the center of Kokusai-dori Street makes it a convenient restaurant to drop by while you’re out sightseeing.

Small flies flying around window side sheets, spotting on top of the sauce bins. Food quality and selection was good in 10 yeas ago, but its no longer valid. This will be definitely my final visit...

Okinawa Areas

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You've arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan's most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
