The Calif Kitchen Okinawa — Restaurant in Chatan

Lovely, colorful restaurant with a full view of the ocean.

I had a bit of trouble finding this place at first, it's on the third floor, so once you find the right building (google maps) go up to 3F and you'll eventually see the entrance.

Other reviewers recommended making reservations. I hadn't, so left my name and they asked me to return in 20 minutes. Spent the time looking for pokegenic spots and when I got back, was promptly seated.

The taco rice here is premium, with avocado, a good helping of taco beef, all topped with a fried egg. Really enjoyed it and know I'll be craving it when thinking about Okinawa. The pineapple mojito was refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness.

My partner had the breakfast of which I sampled some, thick cut bacon - yum, pancake was lil crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

View was gorgeous, both inside and out were instagram friendly / great for chilling.

Staff have no problem at all...

Good food, but weak drinks. If you order a cocktail ask for a quadruple shot. It’s 650 yen for a rum&Coke - but as it’s only 100 yen more for each “shot” I’d make it a quadruple as I their “double” didn’t phase me (and I really needed to be phased that day). I am pretty sure they don’t use standard-sized shots when they make drinks.

Food is good though. I was reluctant to come here initially as I typically steer clear of American Village. But the food exceeded my expectations.

The jerk chicken was amazing and my wife’s breakfast pancake was pretty good too.

Not to mention the great view of the ocean as we ate.

I recommend it and plan to come back soon. I just won’t order...

Very nice ambience! I went on a Saturday morning, we waited for 10 minutes, but with the view and available tables outside the time flew by. Sitting inside is a combination of couches, chairs, lounge, and tables. The music being played was of a high end lounge bar and not loud. The menu options are simple and easy to decide what to get. The coffee was good. The view of the ocean while you eat was very relaxing. The Staff service was very attentive and extremely friendly. The bathroom was clean and also had a baby changing room. There was a space for children to play with a TV playing old school cartoons...
