Delicious and relaxing

Such a cute and friendly vegan cafe. English menu and spoken well but they were patient with my bad japanese too.
Food is simply amazing!
I had set menu, hemp cola and the apple and lime pie. It was just divine.


Well worth finding. They use the Harvest Meat range made from millet.

Pros: Menu range, Price , Quiet and cute

delicious natural vegan food

this cozy restaurant has two floors, the first floor has high tables and chairs, the second has tatami floors and low tables. Good location, since it’s close to kokusai doori. They have the happy cow seal and have been in business since 2011. Their dishes are great, very tasty and healthy.

Delicious food but small portions

My partner got burger and I got pasta of the day, both were delicious but the portions were quite small. Wouldn't recommend if you are starving. Also got delicious homemade enzyme soda, so fresh!

Tasty relaxing place

Would be better if kindly told me that gyoza in the plate is the same as side dish. More beverage options would be a plus.

Leckere Gerichte, aber ausbaufähig

Eins vorweg: Essen war an sich sehr lecker & Service freundlich!
Bestellung aber leider über Bestellportal, dass es nur auf Japanisch gibt, Mittags nur Menü mit Getränk, überdurchschnittlich teuer, viele Moskitos im Garten & kleine Portionen (4 Kartoffelecken zum Burger is schon ein Witz..) Schade!

My favorite Vegan restaurant on Okinawa

I travel a lot and this place is a real gem! The food is absolutely fantastic, the waitstaff was extremely pleasant. They do have a menu in English and that made ordering easy given my limited Japanese. The atmosphere was also fantastic, I really enjoyed my experience all around.

Lovely cafe

Got take out from here, but wished I could’ve stayed! Great ambiance; the kind of place I’d want to spend all day in working remotely while enjoying various meals throughout. Got to try 3 dishes and highly recommend the vegan fish sandwich. Really great tastes.

Highly recommended!

Great location, friendly staff, fantastic menu with good quality produce and flavours. The carrot cake in particular was a stand out! Orion beer on tap and lovely interior style. Will not disappoint!

Lovely space

This place has such a nice natural feel to it. We both had the mexican burger, which I loved, and shared a chocolate tofu cake and a icecream sundae, that came with puffed millet. I would recommend.

Pros: All vegan, Lovely space, Excellent food

Cons: Maybe a bit expensive for the size

High-end but satisfying vegan experience

Read more in this vegan Okinawa guide: https://itravelforveganfood.com/vegan-okinawa-guide/

Using seasonal local produce and Japan ‘5 grains’ like millet, Ukishima Garden is a high quality, if not a bit expensive, vegan restaurant in the Naha area.

Their lunch time and dinner time menus are different. At lunch, you can find plates, curry, burgers, and other desserts and drinks. At dinner time, you can choose between a 4- or 6-course set, which includes salad, appetizer, main, desserts and more. At the time of visit, the dinner set already includes a drink and you are not required to order a separate one.

The 4-course dinner meal I tried is great. The famous Okinawa dish, taco rice, is the main I chose for this meal. It uses Okinawa tofu as the mince crumble. Paired with salsa, shredded lettuce and brown rice. The appetizer plate, salad and ice cream are all delicious as well. The set comes to 3630 yen after tax.

The decor and atmosphere is another high point of Ukishima Garden. The outside garden is a great choice to enjoy your lunch, and upstairs tatami seating lets you experience a more traditional side of Japan.

Overall Ukishima Garden is a great vegan restaurant with well-prepared food if you don’t mind spending a bit more.

Pros: All vegan, Beautifully made food, Friendly staff and moody atmosphere

Cons: A bit expensive

Good for fancy people

They have only course menu, and it was something like 2800yen or 3800yen plus must order a drink. Each plates are tiny portions and good ones and.. atmosphere is very cool and great for fancy date but just not for me who loves one or two mains and feeds well.

Pros: Cool, Fancy, Organic

Cons: Pricy, Small portions

Great place!

Arrive early there was a little line up and some people had to come back later. Small place, but really nice vibe. No GMO, no GMS, real good food.
We took the 6 services meals and we did not regret!

Cons: The kombucha portion could be bigger for the price

Emphasis on local produce

Great emphasis on local produce, with the possibility of tasting local delicacies like gōyā, the bitter melon from Okinawa.
Dishes we tried included: dolma with Okinawa gōyā, tofu with Okinawan seaweed, carbonara spaghetti, millet balls with veggie stir-fry, and a nice mango cheesecake with avocado ice-cream.
The staff was also very friendly and welcoming.

Pros: emphasis on local produce , local ingredients

Delicious!

A very cute and cozy restaurant serving delicious food. We went there for lunch and had the beet soup, the taco rice lunch set and the plat au millet lunch set. The food was delicious, but I wished there was just a bit more variety for lunch. There were many dishes on the dinner menu that I would have loved to try, but unfortunately we left that afternoon and had no time. I guess I'll have to go back again one day.

High-end vegan place

Excellent staff, outdoor seating and fancy food. I ordered the plate with a tasting selection of locally grown organic dishes - not all up to my taste, but carefully crafted and beautifully presented. Nice selection of liquor. The place is a bit pricey, but definitely good for a dinner treat.

Tasty food

Taco rice was really good, the gyoza was amazingggggg! Sparkling wine was nice and the orange cake was okay. My meal came to ¥3,790 - this is isn’t somewhere I would eat every day (just a note I went dinner time - I’m unsure if lunch is cheaper).

Pros: Close to my hostel , Good food

Cons: Expensive for what I got, Didn’t have the sangria I wanted to order

Warm atmosphere

Friendly and welcoming service. I spoke in Japanese but staff also speaks English I believe. Music is playing in the background but not very distracting at all.

Pros: All plant-based options, Staff was friendly and allayed any concerns , Taste was great. I ordered to-go for same dish.

Cons: Can be a little pricey , Walk might be a bit far for some people
