Kushikaku Izumizakirotariten — Restaurant in Naha

I come here every time I'm in Naha to visit the relatives. It's easy with a Japanese wife, but frankly the system here is so easy I'd be comfortable coming on my own. This place specialises in all you can eat, all you can drink menu for just under 3000 yen. The dishes can vary but there are some really tasty dishes, some of the others may not be to the Western taste if you aren't used to things like chicken gizzards etc. So just remember the menu is Japanese translated into English. Not every description will be perfect so if you aren't the adventurous type then stick to the things that make sense, anything with a weird translation, is weird :) Contrary to other reviews I've seen, you can bring kids, but you should come early as this is typical Okinawa so people can and do smoke, just like most izakaya, it's local so don't complain. Anywhere you walk in and you notice an ashtray on the table, walk out if you don't like smoking. Japan lags behind the rest of the world with indoor smoking so if you can't stand it then just be observant, or stick to restaurants and avoid the local eats, as most places in Okinawa allow smoking. This place is great, drinks are good and varied for all you can drink, unlike most 'all you can drink' places where 2/3 of the menu isn't available on the all you can drink choice. Go here, drink lots of various local cocktails etc and eat lots of different skewers, you'll enjoy. If you are local, there might be better places, as an Australian in Naha, this ticks all the boxes. Would be 5 star but there are better food places, but for the price and the all you can eat option, this is my favorite! Quick update, the “sour’s“ list here is fantastic, and the high balls are mixed proper strong. This is my number 1 for all you can...

Waiter do not speak Japanese Waiter do not speak clear English You have to pay a Table Charge of 700¥ p.P., what was not informed about.

Only information where from the Waiter: There is a Menue for 2h for an Amount of Money.

Kitchen Chef was hanging in front of the "Restaurant" (after we left) instead of taking care of the kitchen Smoking in the Kitchen was recognized by one of our colleagues.

We had a Place at the Desk and a direct view in the Kitchen. On the second view, it was very dirty. So we left the "Restaurant after 2 Beer and the worst Gyoza ever made.

There can not be a good Review from people, who are really into good Service and Quality of Food.

So...

This place used to be great, and had an impressive selection with reasonable prices. However the menu and food quality seemed to change overnight, which makes me suspect that there was an ownership or management change. I will never...
