A little oasis in Naha for Vegan dinner

The Okinawan peanut tofu, Okinawan seaweed tempura, Okinawan laksa, Ma Jiang Mian, and sea grapes were all okay.

Okinawa Island Beer (Ukishima Brewing) was good.

Overall, a decent place for dinner in Naha.”

Pros: All Vegan

Best meal of my life

Almost 3 years later, I still think about this place all the time. The owner is so sweet and kind. Food takes a bit to prepare since he runs the business himself. But every dish was fine dining quality, insanely tasty, and with impeccable presentation. The owner was friendly and kind and even played/sang us a few songs. My non-vegan friends came here with me twice because of how delicious it was. This restaurant was my favorite part of my visit to Japan, and I look back on the time I had there so fondly.

Delicious and Vegan!

Very tasty food; great drinks and good service. Very small restaurant but we walked in without a line. We were pleased with the peanut tofu and veggie tempura and the veggie ramen. Highly recommend this place.

Pros: Fresh food, Local produce , Excellent flavour

Cons: Limited menu options

Fave place in Naha

I went there two times because I wanted to try so many things—if I had time, I would have definitely visited a third time!
Arrive earlier that the closing time, I would suggest at least one hour earlier, just to be sure to get served: both times I had to queue to be seated (nothing new in Japan, but it never happened to me in other places in Okinawa)

Lecker :)

Die Portion hätte etwas größer sein dürfen. Wenn ich eine Vorspeise bestellt hätte wäre ich sicher satt geworden😄

Pros: Gute Auswahl , Schönes Lokal , Nette Mitarbeiter

Cons: Kleine Portion

Incredible

This place was the highlight of our Okinawa food journey. We arrived late but they served us quickly. The portions are on the small side but the flavours are so good that you will want to try lots of things. We got to try a lot of local dishes here. Seaweed salad, peanut tofu and tofuyo (It’s like a cheesy miso) are must try’s. My sake was served in a beautiful Riedel wineglass which was a nice surprise! We tried to visit the next night but there was a line and they were closing at 9pm which seems to be the standard closing time now.

Good food

Nice menu with local dishes and ones from other Asian countries.
Good taste, good portion sizes, friendly staff.
The shop is pretty small so it's probably better to make a reservation when coming here, especially is you plan on coming with a bigger group.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant

Everything we ordered was delightful, especially the algae and the Green Curry noodles, the tempura tofu is also to fall for, you cannot order badly here. Dessert was also great and to top it all, the staff is great and happy 😁

Convenient parking nearby, but 220¥ / 20 mins, be aware

Pros: Noodles, Tofu tempura, Staff is very friendly

the best laksa I had !

Laksa curry makes this place worth visiting! The starters are nice, the service is also very friendly (only two guys running restaurant - wow! respect). the portions are quite small, however the prices are also low so it is kind of compensating. however it would be nice to add option of regular and large main dish for instance.

Pros: laksa

Cons: food portions

Great place

Our first night in Naha surrounded by tacky souvenir shops and young tourists didn’t give us much hope for our first restaurant.

We were blown away. Please try the tofuya. I can’t guarantee you’ll like it, but if you do, you’ll want more. And the homemade cola drink was extraordinary.

Delicious. You need to go.

So good and authentic vegan Okinawa food! Got the Okinawa soba noodle soup and it was 10/10. Reasonably priced too at 1100 yen.

The hours are not correct on Happy Cow as I went on a Wednesday evening and they were open despite Happy Cow saying they were closed. However, Google maps did say they were open when I checked before I went.

Love the vibes and the food

Despite being a small hole in the way restaurant, it certainly makes up for its lack of space with their delicious food and great vibes! Everything we tried here was delicious and I can’t stop thinking about coming back again and trying more of their menu 🤩!

Pros: 100% vegan

Cons: A bit small so be mindful if in a large group

Yummy, but smallish portions

Tasty food (had the Seaweed tempura, the Okinawa soba soup noodles and the brown sugar). The soup broth had a quite savoury flavour (which I liked a lot, but might be not for you if you don't like salty food).

The portions could have been bigger in my opinion, and I already asked for a larg(er) portion for the soba, that's why 4 stars only.

Also, one guy managed the whole place alone when I was there. I was impressed with how he handled everything, but obviously not as swift as with more staff, so better don't be in a hurry when eating here.

Really delicious food

The food was amazing and such great flavours. Nice dishes to share too.

Only removed a star as both of us who ate there felt quite unwell the next day. Not sure if it was the food but it put us off going back there unfortunately.
