"Very nice authentic Japanese restaurant! Glad to have joined the queue and lucky to have allocated a table sitting. This place seems to be operated by all ladies:) and they were very helpful in suggesting what we should order. The recommended was the all time favorite set for 2 which came in 9 small dishes (including a fish) was indeed enough for both of us. The set cost around 3900yen very reasonable! Join the queue if you are not too hungry as Japanese are very considerate, the queue moves fairly fast!"

"Great place for traditional Okinawan dishes. First we had the Umibudo which are also known as sea grapes. They were delicious and each grape was bursting with jucig flavor.
Then we had the Tofu stir fry with onions in soy sauce and the seaweed tempura.
The champloo had bitter gourd, eggs and tofu which was a very healthy dish as well.
Finished the meal with the deep fried gurukun fish which a Okinawan speciality. The fish had a soft bite with a mild flavor to it. The smaller bones are edible as well."

"Amazing Okinawa izakaya. Since you can't make a reservation, best to come here as early as possible to avoid waiting in line. With a variety of local specialties, best to enjoy it with a cold glass or Orion beer! The fried fish was good, but requires a bit of skills to dismantle the thing. To top it all, amazing cost performance!
Crowd Size: Very High
Payment Method: Cash"
