One of my favourites this trip!

We went to a cozy and a delicious vegan restaurant here in Naha, Okinawa. The food was presented beautifully on unique Okinawa plates, and the flavour on each dish was delicious. We had 2 starters, the Agé Tofu and Mozuku and Sea Grapes. Both are very traditional dishes from Okinawa. For mains we had the Laksa and Okinawa Soba, I loved every bite. The dessert was also very interesting, we had the Okinawa Brown Sugar. It was sweet but very tasty and just enough with a side of coffee.

Highly recommend going here if you are in Naha!!

Pros: Cozy and Calm Atmosphere, Delicious Okinawa Food, Friendly Staff!

Great laksa curry at a cozy space

We tried dumplings, Ryukyu laksa curry and today’s special menu items (fried taro and vegetable fritters) as well as lu rou fan. They were delicious. We also enjoyed talking with the friendly owner. Nice space and vibe.

Good laksa in Naha

It's quite difficult to find good vegetarian/vegan food in Naha, but this a little gem. There's also a great friendly atmosphere.

Pros: good soup noodles, friendly staff and atmosphere

Great Laksa

The Laksa was soo good! The coriander in it wasn't too strong which i really liked!
The soupless noodles were okay but not outstanding.
Unfortunately we got gyoza instead of dumplings. But it was okay, we didn't want them to throw it away, so didn't say anything and ate it. The taste was okay, the sauce wasn't strong.
Overall the portions were too small (my opinion).
Atmosphere was nice, strong smell of incense sticks. Staff was friendly and understands english.
Accepts credit cards.

Pros: Laksa , Accepts Creditcards, Friendly staff

Cons: Small portions

Food artistry at its finest

This was our first restaurant in Japan and wow it was like an art watching them prepare food. There are only two people. They take their time into crafting each dish. Make sure to leave time to experience this restaurant and be in no rush. It’s island time

We got tofu and sea grapes, dumplings for two kinds, and laksa noodle. It was so delicious!

This place is located in a cute ally way. They have limited seating and no place for big groups

Pros: Everything

Cons: Don’t be in a rush if you come here

Soul-filling

The moment I put a spoonful of their laksa broth, I attained enlightenment. The soup is so creamy and flavourful, I just have no words to describe. The dumplings were yumm with the coconut oil flavour really elevating it.

Pros: Food was amazing

Nice Laksa

My friend and I had an intense laksa craving and came here - it definitely hit the spot! The laksa had a Japanese twist to it (maybe some miso in the broth too) but it was delicious. We also had the dumplings (reminded us of a momo) and the mozuku which was super amazing too!

Pros: Delicious, Friendly

I was so happy to have come here for dinner. I got to try new Japanese food local to the area. It was all delicious!
There is a 10% service charge that I was unaware of tho.
Laksa was sooo good!

Best vegan Japanese restaurant in Naha

So far, I found Tamatebako to offer the best Japanese vegan food in Naha. The crispy agedōfu was just delicious. I also had six dumplings and the coconut ice cream (all vegan). I was very very satisfied of my meal and overall experience: I sat at the counter and could see that the chef was preparing each dish with the utmost care.

Apart from one couple, most of the clients were female, and mostly eating solo. The chef can also speak some English. So don't hesitate and just go!

Edit: I went back with a friend and enjoyed even more. We shared dumplings and had the signature dish (laksa noodles). Definitely recommended.

Pros: Excellent food and service, Great atmosphere for female solo travellers

Cons: A bit difficult to find, bigger sign needed

Lovely vegan izakaya in the heart of Naha

One of the few places in Okinawa where you may enjoy local specialties as a vegetarian/vegan. This lovely place is tucked away in an alley and serves amazing food at regular prices. The owner speaks English.
There is also an extensive selection of drinks. Various forms of payment are accepted, including cards.

Best meal in Japan

I really really enjoyed everything that I ate here. The vegan tiramisu cake was so good, it strays away from authenticity by being denser rather than spongy but it was so so good.

A little sanctuary in the city

With not many options around sand frustration at the amount of animal products in all the treats that n the area, it was so nice to sit at this all plant-based little restaurant. It was cozy from the start, our server was nice, and the food was delicious. It was nice to have something other than curry in the area. We order three specials from the board over the bar, not the menu, and sake, then added the dessert set at the end. The fried noodles were the best, but tempura seaweed was great and the stir fry was great as well. The dessert was small, but delicious.

Pros: All vegan, Organic, Cozy

Well worth a visit.

We called in on spec at around 18.30 the only weird thing was no one else there early evening other diners arrived around one hour later.
The food is in small portions so we ordered it tapas style and shared.
It was suggested we tried the tofu dumplings which we did so nice we got more.

Pros: Think it was pretty much all vegan , Lots of small dishes price from 550¥, Delicious and quick service

Cons: Dishes are not enormous

Nice little place with 100% plant based local produced ingredients. The chef invented his own fusion recipe from his extensive travels in Malaysia, Taiwan and more. Coconut laksa was really good.

Delicious

The only thing that was unfortunate was for an izakaya, they had a limited amount of drinks especially if you would prefer sweeter drinks. The gyoza was delicious.

Hidden vegan gem

We weren’t so sure about this place at first seeing that not all places understand vegan can and should be tasty… but this spot hits the mark!

Pros: All organic and plant based, Super tasty, Very friendly

Pleasant surprise

Wonderful small vegan restaurant! Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They also speak English fluently. Food was delicious and prepared with style. Big advantage is that they work until late so can be easily visited. Will definitely visit them one more time to taste the other part of the menu. Wish them full success in promoting the nice and healthy vegan food!

This delicious vegan restaurant is open at night!🌙🍷

I'm very happy that! Because Vegan restaurants are often open only day time.
And they were very delicious!✨
