About 33 minutes by car from Naha Airport. It is a local diner located in the southeast of Chatan Town. From Okinawan dishes such as Okinawa soba and chanpuru to chicken nanban and stir-fried lebanilla, ordinary dishes are inexpensive and delicious! The restaurant has many repeat customers, both locals and tourists.
Point 1: What is the location of the “Strongest Diner Hanby Branch”?
Saikyou Shokudo Hanby Branch” is located in the southeast of Chatan Town in the central part of Okinawa’s main island.
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Chatan Town is the glittering scenery of “American Village,” but Saikyou Shokudo Hanby is located along Route 58, which is a far cry from the glittering scenery, and is very easy to access by car.
Across the fence from the national highway is the vast U.S. military base at Camp Foster. The scenery is unique to Okinawa.
The exterior of the restaurant is not gorgeous, but the sign “Saikyou Shokudo” written in a strong font next to a sign that reads “Set Meal 380 yen” draws cars in.
Point 2: What is the recommended menu for “Saikyou Shokudo Hanby Branch”?
Saikyou Shokudo Hanby Branch” is characterized by its cheap prices and large portions.
The system is that you first buy a meal ticket, and then you are called to the counter as soon as your meal is ready.
In addition to that, the cooks are also in their home time, so you might be prepared to wait about 20 minutes when the place is crowded.
The menu includes many set meals such as bitter gourd, tofu stir-fry, and Okinawan dishes, but the most popular is the “Chicken Nanban Set Meal” (700 yen).
It looks like it is a very large meal, and a woman would not be able to finish it, but for 700 yen, it is a great deal.
The Okinawa soba is only 400 yen for a single dish and 550 yen for the set meal!
With such a low price, you will be tempted to eat this and that!
Point 3: “Saikyou Shokudo Hanby Branch” also has chanpon!
Saikyou Shokudo Hanby Branch” also offers an Okinawan dish called chanpon.
Generally, mainlanders associate “chanpon” with Nagasaki’s ramen with many ingredients, but in Okinawa, it is not ramen but “rice.
Like Nagasaki’s chanpon, the ingredients are stir-fried vegetables and meat, topped with a thickened starchy sauce.
If you order chanpon and have no prior knowledge of the dish, you will be shocked when you put your chopsticks in the bowl for the first time.
Moreover, the restaurant also offers a “curry flavor” of chanpon.
There is no definition of ingredients and preparation method for Okinawan chanpon, and each restaurant has its own unique recipe, so there are many people who enjoy different chanpon at each restaurant.
