My favorite Vegan restaurant on Okinawa - Edit
I travel a lot and this place is a real gem! The food is absolutely fantastic, the waitstaff was extremely pleasant. They do have a menu in English and that made ordering easy given my limited Japanese. The atmosphere was also fantastic, I really enjoyed my experience all around.

Lovely cafe - Edit
Got take out from here, but wished I could’ve stayed! Great ambiance; the kind of place I’d want to spend all day in working remotely while enjoying various meals throughout. Got to try 3 dishes and highly recommend the vegan fish sandwich. Really great tastes.

This place has such a nice natural feel to it. We both had the mexican burger, which I loved, and shared a chocolate tofu cake and a icecream sundae, that came with puffed millet. I would recommend.

High-end but satisfying vegan experience - Edit

Read moreUsing seasonal local produce and Japan ‘5 grains’ like millet, Ukishima Garden is a high quality, if not a bit expensive, vegan restaurant in the Naha area.
Their lunch time and dinner time menus are different. At lunch, you can find plates, curry, burgers, and other desserts and drinks. At dinner time, you can choose between a 4- or 6-course set, which includes salad, appetizer, main, desserts and more. At the time of visit, the dinner set already includes a drink and you are not required to order a separate one.
The 4-course dinner meal I tried is great. The famous Okinawa dish, taco rice, is the main I chose for this meal. It uses Okinawa tofu as the mince crumble. Paired with salsa, shredded lettuce and brown rice. The appetizer plate, salad and ice cream are all delicious as well. The set comes to 3630 yen after tax.
The decor and atmosphere is another high point of Ukishima Garden. The outside garden is a great choice to enjoy your lunch, and upstairs tatami seating lets you experience a more traditional side of Japan.
Overall Ukishima Garden is a great vegan restaurant with well-prepared food if you don’t mind spending a bit more.
Pros: All vegan, Beautifully made food, Friendly staff and moody atmosphere
Cons: A bit expensive

Good for fancy people - Edit
They have only course menu, and it was something like 2800yen or 3800yen plus must order a drink. Each plates are tiny portions and good ones and.. atmosphere is very cool and great for fancy date but just not for me who loves one or two mains and feeds well.

Emphasis on local produce - Edit
Great emphasis on local produce, with the possibility of tasting local delicacies like gōyā, the bitter melon from Okinawa.
Read moreDishes we tried included: dolma with Okinawa gōyā, tofu with Okinawan seaweed, carbonara spaghetti, millet balls with veggie stir-fry, and a nice mango cheesecake with avocado ice-cream.
The staff was also very friendly and welcoming.

Delicious! - Edit
A very cute and cozy restaurant serving delicious food. We went there for lunch and had the beet soup, the taco rice lunch set and the plat au millet lunch set. The food was delicious, but I wished there was just a bit more variety for lunch. There were many dishes on the dinner menu that I would have loved to try, but unfortunately we left that afternoon and had no time. I guess I'll have to go back again one day.

High-end vegan place - Edit
Excellent staff, outdoor seating and fancy food. I ordered the plate with a tasting selection of locally grown organic dishes - not all up to my taste, but carefully crafted and beautifully presented. Nice selection of liquor. The place is a bit pricey, but definitely good for a dinner treat.

Tasty food - Edit
Taco rice was really good, the gyoza was amazingggggg! Sparkling wine was nice and the orange cake was okay. My meal came to ¥3,790 - this is isn’t somewhere I would eat every day (just a note I went dinner time - I’m unsure if lunch is cheaper).

Expensive but good - Edit
The restaurant is lovely and quite, the staff nice and helpfull. We went for diner, I got the yambaru mushroom spaghetti with creamy tomato sauce, my husband got the Chili and we shared tofu cheese. Everything was delicious but the portions were quite small. I would recommend the 5 course menu if you’re hungry.

Beautiful place - Edit
The place is very pretty and has a peaceful and fresh vibe. We sat upstairs which has the traditional Japanese floor seating, so be sure to stay downstairs if you got stiff knees. Two of the starters were not available for the day so we had a green salad and vegan dumplings. The salad was plain with only green leaves and a few pieces of carrot and cabbage. We had the hamburg steak which came with no side and the taco rice. Overall everything was nice, but quite plain in flavour. I was still a bit hungry after this meal, good if you wanna loose some waistline and have a healthy, peaceful dining experience but if you’re starving you should go someplace else. Definitely a good place for a date, cosy and beautiful!

Dinner is better - Edit
I tried this place at lunch and it was not that impressive.

I tried it and, it was okay but nothing special.
Expensive wines makes you sober as you drink more.
But I would come back.

Expensive vegan food - Edit
The food was great, but too expensive. I ordered a vegan steak kind of thing at it was 1500 yen and tiny ration with a piece of vegetable. Maybe it’s because it was dinner time and lunch is more affordable.
