琉球海鮮 すし 浜焼 もんじゃ ほろろ — Restaurant in Naha

Atmosphere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The place is super close to the station—actually a local friend in Okinawa recommended it to me! The entrance is on the 2nd floor, so it’s easy to walk past without noticing. Inside, it’s really spacious and relaxing, way more stylish compared to your usual izakaya. The cool part is that they have two areas: a BBQ section and a teppan section. You can finish eating in one area and then move to the other (and the menus are a bit different!).

Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️ In the teppan area, most of the dishes are cooked right in front of you by the staff. We started with monjayaki and okonomiyaki, and also ordered a steak. The steak was grilled perfectly—super tender, it just melts in your mouth. The monjayaki was just as good as what I’ve had in Tokyo, and the staff even gave us mini spatulas 🪏 so we could eat it straight off the grill, which was really fun. The okonomiyaki was a bit salty for me though—I think it would’ve been better with a lighter sauce. Overall, I personally preferred the monjayaki!

Drinks & Alcohol ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As you can tell from the photos, my friends and I ordered a lot of drinks—some even twice. The drinks here are not only cheap but also really solid in quality. The passion fruit cocktail was refreshing and had that Okinawa vibe to it. The orange soda cocktail and peach soda cocktail were both sweet and light, definitely drinks that girls would love since they don’t taste too strong. The red and white wines recommended by the staff were also great, and honestly, considering the quality, the prices were super reasonable—really good value for money. Oh, and a must-try: pair their sake with a dish called hire. It was sooo good we had to order it again. Grilled and eaten with sake, it was just perfect 🍻.

Desserts ⭐️⭐️⭐️ We tried pretty much all the desserts, and they were all good. The one that stood out for me was cassata—the texture was really unique, and I just couldn’t stop eating it. Just a heads-up though: some desserts are only available in the teppan area, so make sure you order them before switching over to the BBQ side!

Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It can get a little pricey if you order a lot, but honestly, the vibe, the food, and the drinks are worth it. I’d say it’s a great spot if you want to try different types of Japanese drinks and enjoy a mix of Japanese dishes in a...

SKIP THIS RESTAURANT IF YOU VALUE YOUR TIME. My family came after our bus tour. Restaurant wasn't crowded, not even half full. We ordered right away and our beer came about 10 min later. But then we waited and waited and waited, watching everyone else get their food but not us. We didn't even get 1 dish. The worst part was we watched other tables get served before us, and those people came into the restaurant way after us. After we waited for nearly AN HOUR, we asked the waiter if we can cancel our order. He said he'd check, and we saw him walk over to the chef and check if our food was made. It didn't appear so. So he said it was fine, we paid for the beer and we left. It was a complete waste of time. I can't really understand why the service was so slow, given the restaurant wasn't even half full and all the other patrons were getting served. I felt it might be because we were foreigners. We were very respectful and well behaved, nothing on our part would warrant this type of treatment. I was not happy that we waited and hour for nothing. We were hungry after our tour and this experience was very disappointing. Please don't bother wasting your time here, especially if you're...

The restaurant is divided into a teppanyaki area and a robatayaki area. Overall, the atmosphere is calm and relaxed, and despite being quite popular with most of the seats occupied, there was no loud, bustling noise typical of izakayas. This made it easy to enjoy both the conversation and the food.

The restaurant is divided into a teppanyaki area and a hamayaki area. Overall, it has a calm and relaxed atmosphere, and despite the place being almost fully booked with a lot of people, it wasn’t as noisy as typical izakayas, allowing for an enjoyable conversation and dining experience. Food:
The teppanyaki and monjayaki were cooked by the staff. Watching them quickly cook with a spatula was impressive. The way they prepared the dishes was very detailed, and especially the salmon and steak were thick and incredibly delicious.
In the robatayaki area, there are small grills where you can cook your own food, which was fun. I didn’t expect to be able to grill eel by myself, so that was a nice surprise. Drinks:
The Okinawan-style sour drinks made with tropical fruits were delicious. There were also beers and sake available. If you enjoy drinking, you can enjoy both the food and...
