Exquisite 👌 - Edit
Very nice discovery! For my first dinner in Naha: The Momo gyoza , the original Taco Rice with the seasonal salad was a delight. The staff and the atmosphere were beautifully and charming, and the service was fast. I recommend it!

very fine restaurant/ nice interior too - Edit
It was definitely worth to go there. I tried three different dishes (so far) and a raw cake as dessert.
Read moreThe most I liked the soy meat, it was crispy and very well seasoned.
could eat a whole bucket of it.
I also enjoyed the nepalese Momos and the Thai curry.
Everything is very well presented / decorated. Staff is nice.
I went there at 17:30 and didn’t have to wait for a table.

Soy meat starter - Edit
The dishes tasted very good. I can highly recommend the vegan, fried soy meat. The glaze was amazing and I had to order a second one because it was so good!

Great food - Edit
The food was really yummy with fresh vegetables. The karaage in particular is delicious. The place has a nice atmosphere. Service is kind of slow because they make every meal from scratch but it's definitely worth the wait.

take your time!! - Edit
the food was quite good. however, I ordered the food for takeout, two currys and a salad, and I waited for an hour in the restaurant for everything. the portions in the boxes were a little small as well. we thought they had forgotten the salad, but it was squished in a box next to the other food. I can’t say much about the actual dining experience but for takeout it was meh. the staff seemed friendly and the atmosphere was quite nice. however I would plan a lot of time and money.
Read morePros: flavor, atmosphere, menu
Cons: long waiting times, small portions (for take out), a bit expensive

Perfect! - Edit
All the food tasted and looked amazing. The interior was nicely decorated and it felt a little spacious for a Japanese restaurant. We made a reservation for 6PM and therefore we did not have to wait too long. It might be smart to make a reservation at early hours like we did as it is a small business.

Been here twice and aside from the lovely food my biggest recommendation goes out to the soy lassi with seasonal fruits. The first time I had it was with dragonfruits and the second time it was with local strawberries and I felt like I was drinking heaven both times 😩💕✨💛

1 3/4 hour wait... - Edit
I visited back in October 2019 and we waited almost 2 hours for the first plate of dinner when there was only one other table. Yes the food was delicious, and you could tell everything was made with love and fresh ingredients... but sadly because it was also on the expensive side: I would say it wasn’t worth the wait.
Read moreWish I could rate it higher based on the taste and the friendly staff but I must’ve visited on a bad night?? Good luck

Delicious vegan options near Naha - Edit
Read more in this vegan Okinawa guide: https://itravelforveganfood.com/vegan-okinawa-guide/
Read moreLala Zorba is a vegan restaurant specializing in Asian Ethnic cuisine as well as some local dishes. Keep in mind that it only opens at night time from Thursday to Monday.
You can find dishes like curry plates, dumplings, buddha bowl, soba, desserts and drinks. They also features some set meals with a few courses.
The dumpling set that I tried include an appetizer plate, dumplings, soy chicken, and a spicy fried noodles which I changed to Okinawa soba. The okinawa soba turns out to be my favorite with its varied toppings, chewy noodles, and flavorful soup.
Pros: All vegan, Convenient location, Tasty food
Cons: Overuse soy chicken pieces

Very cozy - Edit
Went with a friend an hour before the closure so the dishes were all sold out, except for the Nepalese Noodles, they were so tasty! I also tried the apple cidrum. Super recommended if you are in Kokusai-dori!

Maybe one of best meals I've had in Japan?? - Edit
I don't know how much of a snob you have to be to leave a bad review for this restaurant. This was one of the BEST meals ive had in Japan. Food didn't take too long. Every dish was shockingly good. In vegan dining I'd say it's rare to find flavours this deep and rich. I don't know how they do it. I went for the Dumpling set and Masala Tofu. Simply put it was amazing, will try go again before I leave to taste the rest of the menu!! 10/10!! P.s oh yeah it's definitely not cheap, but worth it absolutely.
Read morePros: AMAZING FLAVOURS, perfectly delicious! 10/10, Such a pleasant atmosphere, and nice smells., So many options! It was really hard to choose!
Cons: Yeah it's just expensive.

Amazing food! - Edit
We were originally shocked by the prices, so much more expensive than our standard meals here! But once we ate the food, it was worth it, and compared to prices back in the UK, not that expensive.
Read moreWe decided to get a selection of plates rather than a set. We tried the fried “chicken”, tofu tikka masala, dumplings and tofu salad. The salad was fresh and delicious, love the tofu with tikka masala sauce - definitely want to recreate at home, the dumplings had a green curry like filling. Everything tasted so fresh and the portions were big, definitely worth it! The staff are lovely and the menu is available with English.
Pros: Lots of options , Creative dishes
Cons: Expensive in comparison to other options

Nice but expensive food, incredibly slow service - Edit
We were so excited to eat here given the previous reviews. I hate leaving bad reviews - especially for veggie/vegan places, but I wish I’d have known what we were getting ourselves in for!
Read moreWe had to ask for table water which seems quite unusual in our dining experiences in Japan so far. We ordered a beer and a cocktail. The beer came out quickly, but we had to ask about the cocktail and it didn’t arrive until after the first course which was disappointing. There were really long gaps between each course - I appreciate a pause between courses but this was too much.
The food was okay - we had the dumpling set meal. The appetiser was a collection of random things which were quite nice and had a few different veggies in. I’m not so sure how well they all went together. We shared fried gyoza and the dumplings with tomato sauce. The tomato sauce was really lovely but sadly both dumplings were quite watery and didn’t taste of too much. Next we had karaage which was okay too, not the best we’ve tried on our trip to Japan. After what felt like hours, we then received our final course of noodles. They were fine, but by the time we received them we had pretty much given up.
Our meal cost ¥9500 which is by far the most expensive meal we’ve eaten in Japan but sadly it was one of the worst, too. By this point we’d been there for 2 hours so we were just glad to leave.
Pros: Nice, chilled decor, Lots of vegan options (it’s all vegan, I believe)
Cons: Incredibly expensive, Very slow service, Food is just “okay”

Delicious food but very slow service - Edit
An interesting restaurant with a bit of a spiritual vibe. The staff was kind and friendly, and the food tasted great! We had the fried gyoza, the Nepali style friend noodles, the Okinawa soba vegetable soup, and a parfait for dessert. Everything was delicious, but the service was very slow despite the small number of other customers. All of our dishes came one by one with a bit of a waiting time in between, and the dessert took more than 40 minutes that we almost gave up and left.
