The Island Food Shack — Restaurant in Yomitan

Kapono & Chris opened a gem of a place for those craving local favorites from either Hawaii or Guam.

Small, family run hole in the wall that has many of the favorites. You can take out or dine in the trailer style atmosphere with a common seating area, surrounded by other bars and shops.

We got there right after opening so service was quick & efficient and food was literally hot off the grill!

We had the grilled chicken which was really flavorful and perfect with the Chamorro-finadene dipping sauce.

We also shared the tinaktak, a stewed blend of ground beef and pork with vegetables and a touch of coconut milk.

All plates are served with a ton of rice and a side of macaroni salad. Their unique twist on macaroni salad includes using corkscrew pasta instead of regular elbow macaroni. There's also a few pieces of Chamorro pickled cucumber, though we got an additional side order of cucumber to bulk up our veggies

Definitely trying the kalua pig and chicken long rice next time, I also need to pre-order Lau Lau for a...

We're currently here on vacation visiting my son, who is stationed here with his family, and we stumbled across this hidden gem while searching for a yakitori restaurant nearby. The moment we saw it, we just knew we had to try it out and support local🙌🇬🇺

The owners/employees are SO friendly and welcoming it reminds us of the warm hospitality you get back home. The service was GREAT, and the food OhMGeeee was SO mungi, SO delicious 😋

My son ordered their special that evening, which was the chicken Kadun pika, and it was the bomb, the PERFECT pika🔥 and the coconut milk YUM! 😋They ARE very generous with their servings. My DIL ordered their soup, and we also tried their empanadas, gof mungi!

If you're looking for some delicious island comfort food, THIS is definitely a MUST try while in Okinawa 🙌
