Nakadomari Seafood Restaurant

Reviewed By hanyoupei

We visited this restaurant outside of the high season and the place seemed to be very much liked by locals. At the time of our dinner, we were the only (foreign) tourists in the place.We spent four days in the area and this was our favorite place to eat. Service was very good, like most of the time in Japan. Very friendly people too.On a global standard we would rate this with four stars but to local standard certainly deserves all five. Very nice fresh seafood provided; we had local seaweed (a bit like fish egg texture and taste), deep fried calamari, bbq fish, boiled lobster with cheese and local very nice bitter melon. Seafood is fresh and overall very good. Fish was bbqed just with salt and was very nice. Half lobster came with cheese topping and maybe some mayo or so inside, which I would have left away had I known it. The calamari was battered which took a bit the taste away and maybe it was also a little bit overcooked. Still all very good.The restaurant is located on the second floor (or first depending on the culture) in a white two or three story building. Interior is modest but very cozy and the view to the East-China sea is beautiful. In order to enjoy that, please go early before the sunset.Restaurant is located on the beach road somewhere between the Renessance Hotel and the Hotel Moon Beach. Maybe one to two kilometers from both of the places. Walking distance if you like.With a couple of beers we paid USD 70 or so. Without the lobster would have been USD 45. Very nice experience and good value for money. Domo arigato.

タコライスとタコスの有名店です。他の支店には行ったことがあるのですが、こちらのお店には初めての訪問しました。平日の午後2時過ぎに来ましたが、けっこう混雑していましたよ。久々にタコライスチーズ野菜を食べましたが、相変わらずのボリュームですね。

Sushi is tasty and cheap, ¥100 for most dishes. The electronic menu has both Japanese and English language so it's easy to order. They are always busy during lunch time and Japanese holidays so be expected to wait. No kids utensils or cups so be prepared for that but otherwise this is a great family place.

Reviewed By RedSox1967

Huge selection of the freshet fish you can get. They cut fish into sashimi and they also cook a lot of the fish into different dishes. Tourists from other countries come here for the lobster lunch. Great place to buy some fresh sea-food to bring home and cook yourself.

A great buffet We went there twice, one for lunch and then for dinner on another day. Excellent delicious buffet choices. Excellent service by friendly, helpful staff. Need strong legs since it is on the 2nd floor and I haven’t seen an elevator.

I went here with my Japanese girlfriend and the couple running the place were very friendly telling us lots of stories about the island and their family there. It is a little ramshakle so don't come here for fine dining but it is a nice place to drop in for a quick bite and the food was great!

Ryukyu no Ushi

Yakiniku Ryukyu no Ushi is the place in Okinawa for Yakiniku, or grilled meat!The secret to its popularity is of course the tasty meat. Locally-produced wagyu beef has the perfect flavor, and we also serve non-brand beef selected simply for its high quali

Reviewed By alexv59

Easily the best beef I have ever had. We tried the top quality 100g for 6k yen and a set from 5k. Everything was amazing. I would suggest as other did before me buy 1 set and meat. Don't buy the cheapest and probably don't buy the top. It was just as good the assorted version of it. Yes the top one is melting in your mouth but they were all delicious.

So glad that Sakae Ryoriten is here! We live in Uruma city which we often here people complaining about the lack of good restaurants around this area. Sakae has the right atmosphere with very attentive staff and they present Okinawa food to a more refine standard. Our guests were all very impressed and happy.
