Mikasa Matsuyama (Local Diner)
A beloved local diner in the Matsuyama area of Naha, cherished for over 50 years. The 'Okinawa chanpon' here is unique to this shop - ground meat and onion stir-fried and set with egg over rice. The go-to spot for local office workers and daily regulars. Tabelog 3.49/644 reviews, the quintessential 'everyday local diner'. Two locations (Matsuyama, Kume) under the chain threshold. Open from 9am to 9:30pm.
Reviews say 'a taste of Okinawa home cooking I could eat every day', 'great volume for the price', 'eating alongside locals gives you that Okinawa feeling', 'open till late so great for after drinking'. Tabelog 644 reviews - top class among Naha diners - proves its local support.
