Been coming here for a long while. Always excellent for the stewed pork belly and the Orion beers, though the highball is a little watered down.
Beautiful Okinawan comfort food... Reasonable prices... Fantastic ambience... What's there not to like!? �
Automatic five star for serving nice ice cold beer with beer mug chilled. The beer is just above freezing temperatures that it has ice flakes floating inside :)
Walked by this restaurant so many times and always thought it is tacky imitation Japanese restaurant until a Japanese colleague suggested it. The food is fairly decent with a large selection of set course options. Highly recommend the Okinawa round donut. The staff says it takes 15 minutes to prepare but it’s worth the wait.
This is a gem for its authentic Okinawan food fare. It is situated in a nondescript corner of Great World City. But the quality of its food punched above its weight. I ordered the grilled pork with cartilage. A sure winner with the right seasonings. The grilled sting ray is another favorite. The tofu dish with pork is rich in taste and flavors. I had the Hamburg burger and it arrived well cooked and tasty. Overall experience is good. Customer service is decent. When you have cravings for authentic Okinawan food - this is the place. The only downside is that I was hit with a minor MSG attack which is quite rare at this joint.
We used to go to both their original locations before those closed and they ended up at Great World City. The quality of the food is the same, though the atmosphere isn’t quite what it was. Okinawan food isn’t for everyone (come on, bitter gourd is healthy!) so it comprises about half the menu and the other half is more traditional Japanese fare. The food is generally good and the pricing is reasonable enough. They also have a nice selection of Okinawan beverages, well, at least the alcoholic variety. The bitter gourd tea is good for a non-alcoholic Okinawan drink. They do get busy so a reservation is recommended. On that note, they really could improve their online presence. I’m not aware of any online booking option and their website tries to direct you to their Facebook page (which has precious little on it) and their Instagram account (which doesn’t exist). Service at the restaurant is fairly good. Worth a visit.
Quality food, taste fresh and nice. Ordered the stir fry bitter gourd, tofu, egg and pork. Bitter gourd slightly bitter than what we usually eat but taste good. The cold peanut tofu has alittle surprise, it taste more like a dessert with the peanut and ginger taste. The seaweed tempura taste good too, hot and crispy. Prefer to eat the seaweed tempura plain without the dipping sauce and sea salt as it too salty for me. Friendly and fast service crew.
The restaurant has a nice and pleasant decoration and is spacious. We ordered #53 Gilled Mackerel ($18), #104 Okinawan Soup Noodle Set Meal ($16.50), #111 Minced Beef Cutlet Set Meal ($16.50) and #109 Stir-Fried Pork Belly Sliced with Kimuchi Set Meal ($16.50). The food has interesting combinations and was unique, unlike those served usual Japanese restaurant. The food was good (and reasonably priced) but not outstanding. Overall, an enjoyable experience and will visit again.
Okinawan cuisine is reputed to be healthy & the secret to the longevity of Okinawans. There are 3x more centenarians per 100k inhabitants in Okinawa compared to the US. They are 40% more likely to cross 100yrs old compared to the average Japanese.
We ordered stir fried bitter gourd with pork, beancurd & eggs ($9.50++ L) and simmered pork belly ($9.80++ for 2 pieces). These are Okinawan classics. Our waitress also recommended us the cold noodles w/ hot dipping sauce ($14.80++) which turned out really well. Nice home cooked feel in a rustic ambiance.
What a wonderful and quaint diner/Izakaya that specialises in Okinawan food. Don’t think there are many like it in Singapore. Food focuses on local Okinawan products and relatively healthy ways of cooking. Interestingly; there are also Americanised items. Drinks menu is extensive and definitely worth a try if in Great World City.
Food and service is good, just a bit pricey. We try out the set and a la carte. Fried bitter gourd, their cold Tofu and seasoned rice are yummy. Seasoned Rice with noodle set Porky must try.(no photo). Recommended!
