One of the best ramen I’ve had in Japan

Would give this 5 stars if I could! Lovely little restaurant, I had the tan tan ramen which was incredible, and the hot ginger ale.

Enjoyable experience

Both the food and atmosphere are good. Would be better if credit cards are acceptable.

Warm & perfect for a rainy day

Flavoursome vegan curry with Japanese udon noodles. It was good to find a spot where you see “vegan” clearly labelled on the menu.

Pros: Flavour , Atmosphere , Freshly made from scratch

Good vegan options

Everything is clearly labeled, so you know what is/isn't vegan, and they have English menus. The prices are good, too. I had the curry udon with a hot spice cocoa. The udon was good, though it could've done with more noodles. The cocoa was tasty. The serving size was pretty good, too.

Pros: Tasty food, Cheap, Good portions

Was okay

Vegan Ramen was okay but the broth had mostly a taste of lemongrass and coriander. So at the end there was just a soapy taste in my mouth. The noodles were a bit hard, little bit tofu and greens and one tomato were in the soup. Was a bit lame.
My partner had the 2 taste currys with rice and soup plate with small appetizers which were tasty.
Prizes are good and service was okay.

Vegan ramen & tan tan

I had ordered the vegan ramen, it was good.
My partner ordered the vegan tan tan and said it’s one of the best he’s ever had.

Come here while In Okinawa!

This place has such delicious food! I came here yesterday and got the vegan ramen (very good) and home-made ginger ale (delicious). Today, I came back and got the vegan curry udon. So tasty! It’s only a 5 minute walk from Kokusai Dori and is a fun, relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Pros: Delicious food, Super-friendly owner, Fun place: books, games, and musical instruments

Great filling food

I liked everything that I ate. The lunch set was affordable (1400 yen with drink) and very filling as it had soup, salad, the curry, and the ice tea I chose. I had the vegan chocolate tart and the candied nuts were a genius addition. This place has enough vegan options to be a proper vegan place, but I guess the meat options are good to have if you have people in your group who refuse to eat vegan food.

Five stars! ✨

I went for lunch on a Monday. I waited less than 10 minutes before being served the new tomato spicy ramen (vegan) and chai with soy milk. Both were delicious - it's not easy to find vegan ramen so I was happy I could eat it after a long time. The bowl had a lot of veggies, some mushrooms and soy curd. The place has a very unique vibe, calming and vibrant at the same time. Definitely recommended!

Pros: quick service, soy milk for all drinks, not just one but many vegan options

Cons: not so many tables, reserve with big group

Good for lunch

Found this on Happy Cow. It is situated in a quiet part just outside the “International Street”. The food was great with appropriate portion. The place is decorated as a cafe style and very comfy.

Pros: Light but tasty options for vegan, Small amount of dishes with fish for non-vegan

Small cafe near Kokusai Dori with vegan options

Read more in this vegan Okinawa guide: https://itravelforveganfood.com/vegan-okinawa-guide/

A few blocks from Kokusai Dori is Saborami, a small cafe that has a few vegan options, including curry rice, toast, ice cream, chocolate tart, and drinks. The food is nice and the staff is friendly. It’s a nice place to sit and have a break as it’s walking distance from the main shopping area.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan options, Friendly staff

Lovely

Great atmosphere (3 legit beatniks @ the bar & everything!). Got a limited edition set - all presented very well & all tasty. Hope one day this place will go totally vegan. Enough vegan options for maybe two visits with different food. Menu had limited vegan options but the menu is rather limited anyway. I'm updating the hours - closed Thursdays, 2 Sundays off the month (couldn't confirm which!) Noon to last order 19:00, 20:00 close.

Pros: Tasty & reasonably priced

Cons: Limited vegan menu

Cozy, tasteful and with warm atmosphere

Great little caffé that is surprisingly very welcoming to vegans. They offer vegan versions of coffee, chai, appetizers, desserts but you can also order main dish. Personally we tried a little bit of everything they're offering and just loved it. The portions are just the right size and the prices are good too. It has nice home-like atmosphere and the staff is really friendly. I'd definitely go with five stars if I could.
But as we noticed on Okinawa in general, opening hours may be kind of tricky, so don't be surprised if the restaurants are closed.

Pros: Really tasty food, good portions, good prices, Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff

Nice place and good food

Nice place and the food was good. Vegan menu mixed with fish on the menu. The apple bread and tomato sauce was absolutely delicious. If you are a vegan and like curry, than this is a place for you.

Pros: Play area for kids , Vegan option, English menu

Cons: Not to many vegan options

nice presentation and friendly staff

Lovely presentation of their vegan curry set. Really only one veg option that I could see for lunch. That said, I came in at 3 pm when everything was closed and they accommodated me with a delicious meal.

Very good for the area

Okinawa and Tokyo in general are not very generous toward vegetarians so far in my experience. I’m very happy to see this place in the heart of the Naha area. The gentleman behind the bar does an excellent job of presenting the food. Flavours are a bit low key for my tastes. But still good regardless.

Pros: location, Display, Atmosphere

Cons: Food needs more flavour

Would have given it a 5 star bomb

Fantastic food. 3 course meal that is 85% filling if you're super happy hungry. Got the dessert, and boy/girl was I happy I did. Vegan chocolate truffle something or other. SOLID. Totes price along with a house beer- 1700 yen. Not terrible at all. Two thumbs up!
