Expensive food

We had an expensive evening and left hungry. Food didnt exactly match with the pictures and description in the menu. The soy meat was tasty.

Best vegan food in Naha!

Just amazing food, the best place we tried in Naha! We went there several times and also took take away. Our favourites was noodle soup, Okinawa soba and fried soy meat. All the sauces was awesome!! And the staff was super friendly. Highly recommend 👍

Pros: The food, The staff

Very delicious vegan dinner place

What an amazing food I had here! I had the Biriyani and some soy meat karage. One of my best foodie memories from my Okinawa trip

Good food, a little slow and expensive

I really enjoyed their dishes, but the food was overpriced in my opinion, plus they took a long time to prepare it.

Good enough food but expensive and slow

I waited over an hour for the food, they had told me it would be a long wait and apologised a lot afterwards.

The meal cost almost ¥4000 for a starter, main and drink. Almost twice the cost of every other restaurant I visited in Okinawa.

I got the biryani and the spring rolls and a lassi. I wanted the momo but they were sold out and the spring rolls were fresh rather than deep fried as advertised. The lassi tasted like someone had whipped up silken tofu and added a very subtle amount of sweetener, and not like a lassi. The biryani was subtle, instead of rich with flavour, and tasted good but not especially great. The spring rolls were good but I couldn't quite get over the disappointment of them not being as advertised.

The staff were very nice and other people seemed to be enjoying their meals, but for me the wait, the cost, and the good but not great food, make this experience a miss for me.

If you like slow, expensive, subtle flavours, it might be for you, but it wasn't for me.

店內的氛圍很好、服務親切、點了唐揚雞飯大碗又吃喝!
素食餐廳、需註明要不要加蔥蒜!

Exquisite 👌

Very nice discovery! For my first dinner in Naha: The Momo gyoza , the original Taco Rice with the seasonal salad was a delight. The staff and the atmosphere were beautifully and charming, and the service was fast. I recommend it!

very fine restaurant/ nice interior too

It was definitely worth to go there. I tried three different dishes (so far) and a raw cake as dessert.
The most I liked the soy meat, it was crispy and very well seasoned.
could eat a whole bucket of it.
I also enjoyed the nepalese Momos and the Thai curry.
Everything is very well presented / decorated. Staff is nice.

I went there at 17:30 and didn’t have to wait for a table.

Soy meat starter

The dishes tasted very good. I can highly recommend the vegan, fried soy meat. The glaze was amazing and I had to order a second one because it was so good!

Great food

The food was really yummy with fresh vegetables. The karaage in particular is delicious. The place has a nice atmosphere. Service is kind of slow because they make every meal from scratch but it's definitely worth the wait.

take your time!!

the food was quite good. however, I ordered the food for takeout, two currys and a salad, and I waited for an hour in the restaurant for everything. the portions in the boxes were a little small as well. we thought they had forgotten the salad, but it was squished in a box next to the other food. I can’t say much about the actual dining experience but for takeout it was meh. the staff seemed friendly and the atmosphere was quite nice. however I would plan a lot of time and money.

Pros: flavor, atmosphere, menu

Cons: long waiting times, small portions (for take out), a bit expensive

Perfect!

All the food tasted and looked amazing. The interior was nicely decorated and it felt a little spacious for a Japanese restaurant. We made a reservation for 6PM and therefore we did not have to wait too long. It might be smart to make a reservation at early hours like we did as it is a small business.

Pros: Great Asian food (mostly non-Japanese), Great atmosphere , Nice staff

Cons: Nothing

Peaceful & yuuuuum

The attention to detail they put into the food they serve is apparent❤️ it takes a little bit of time for the food to come out as they only have one chef but the atmosphere is nice to relax in. The blueberry lassi was amazing! As was the taco rice and karrage don. Highly recommend!

Pros: Healthy and very tasty

Hidden Gem

Been here twice and aside from the lovely food my biggest recommendation goes out to the soy lassi with seasonal fruits. The first time I had it was with dragonfruits and the second time it was with local strawberries and I felt like I was drinking heaven both times 😩💕✨💛

Delicious Lunch

The tofu karrage was amazing! Still thinking about how crunchy and delicious it was. Got a coconut curry for main dish and was so flavorful. Chai was perfect as well.

Pros: Flavorful

Great food and experience

This place is nice. You can get Indian, Thai and Japanese dishes, and everything feels top-quality. I had a karaage bowl and loved it. The produce was delicious. But the price is fairly high.

NB: You can eat here for dinner! Just make a reservation on their website first.

Pros: Healthy-feeling , Vegan desserts too, Very tasty

Cons: Expensive compared to other Naha restaurants

1 3/4 hour wait...

I visited back in October 2019 and we waited almost 2 hours for the first plate of dinner when there was only one other table. Yes the food was delicious, and you could tell everything was made with love and fresh ingredients... but sadly because it was also on the expensive side: I would say it wasn’t worth the wait.

Wish I could rate it higher based on the taste and the friendly staff but I must’ve visited on a bad night?? Good luck
