SAM’S Anchor Inn Ginowan — Restaurant in Ginowan

This visit was my first return visit since I was in Okinawa several years ago. Our family came here often when we were stationed here. I brought my oldest grandson here for our Valentines Day meal. To say I was sorely disappointed would be an understatement. This definitely was not the Sam's Anchor Inn that I remembered. I had the steak and garlic shrimp set meal. The portion size was great, but the meal itself was unsatisfactory. The vegetables, mainly onions with green peppers and a tiny bit of bok choy, were dry and unseasoned.

Went to dinner with my bf Jan 22, 2018. It was his first time here. Lots of great history with excellent staff and great food! The bean soup was amazing! I had the top sirloin steak while he had the steak combo with shrimp. The non-alcoholic fruit punch is very good, price is reasonable especially with all the extras you get with your meal. We were the last ones to leave because we went there late but where else can you go to get tasty steak and seafood late at night? Here of course! Located in Ginowan area right on the 58.

I loved it (not biased for same name). First tepanyaki ever. Every course I enjoyed. I recommend the escargot. First time trying escargot and I was not disappointed. I loved the interior decor and the old fun environment. The music was particularly interesting. Steak was cooked to my liking. Lobster was delicious and I highly suggest. Only issue is we couldn't get water from the waitresses and they didn't stop to check on us for quite some time. Don't forget to add your name to the novelty reservation...
