What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Okina-do is celebrated for its charming retro atmosphere and its unique Japanese interpretations of Western comfort food. Diners rave about dishes like the crispy chicken cutlets with beef hash sauce and the flavorful pork steak. While the nostalgic ambiance and friendly service are consistent positives, some visitors note that certain dishes might lack distinct flavor or that portions can be on the smaller side.
"I searched for “meal” on Google Maps and chose a place based on its reasonable prices and delicious-looking meat photos. Since it was on the way to Matsumoto Castle’s night illumination, I decided to stop by—and it turned out to be the perfect choice.
The recommended pork steak on the menu was absolutely delicious. The fat was sweet and tasted like high-quality Korean grilled small intestines, but without the unpleasant odor.
The background music in the restaurant was also great."

"(As a French), I was a bit disappointed by the cooking. Once I ordered, it took 20min for my meal to get there. I got the "Omuhan". The hamburger steak didn't have much flavor, and the texture was strange, and the omurice was also quite flavorless, and I found the omelet really thin. The hayashi sauce tasted wonderful, though. But I think this restaurant might be very enjoyable to Asians, especially for the drink selection.
Do keep in my mind that the queue for lunch on weekends starts even before 12PM (and don't forget to write your name on the list)."

"A good classic Japanese Western food. The ambience is retro and comfy. Staff are very friendly.
The pork steak is really good, while the curry packs a punch. A must-go while in Matsumoto. Very popular among Japanese."
