Sam's Sailor Inn Kokusai st. — Restaurant in Naha

A fun Teppanyaki restaurant in a busy area of town. Parking may be a problem, and here is why I gave them 5 stars! I stopped my car nearby as my wife went into the restaurant to see if they had a table available (they are busy and reservations were needed). However, we were lucky that a table was available and when my wife asked the manager where we could park, he went out of his way to walk with my wife to the nearest car park and show her the directions how to get into that car park.

Even at payment, the clerk was more interested in sorting his paperwork receipts n all rather than thanking the customers..can try if u crave for teppanyaki or first time here. But there def better food n...
