Okinawa Restaurant Reviews

Okinawa's culinary history doesn't have a corollary to the haute cuisine of Kyoto or Tokyo. A similar aristocratic tradition hasn't prevailed here, and prized local ingredients like soba, pork, and mozuku seaweed aren't necessarily expensive or hard to produce. This isn't to say that Okinawan cuisine falls short on rare delicacies or delicious cooking but simply that great, true-blue Okinawan food can be had on the cheap, anywhere. Greasy-spoon joints will have fare as traditional and as tasty as the fancy gourmet establishments, so go enjoy!

One effect of the American military presence has been to increase English language proficiency throughout Okinawa. Most restaurants and hotels will have some English speaking staff, so feel confident about going into anywhere for a meal or to inquire about a stay.
