It is about 11 minutes by car from Naha Airport. This chicken specialty restaurant is located in Makishi, Naha City. There are several chicken restaurants in Okinawa, but the problem is that they are both difficult to get to. There are vending machines at other places besides the airport, but they are expensive and you can’t buy them so often. But it is nice to be able to buy half a chicken for about 1,000 yen!

Point 1: 11 minutes by car from Naha Airport! What is the location of Haisai Chicken?
Haisai Chicken” is a chicken specialty restaurant in Makishi, Naha, which opened in November 2021. Speaking of chicken in Okinawa, “that restaurant” in Urasoe and Ginowan is famous as the new soul food of Okinawa. Still, there is also one near Kokusai-dori in Naha! (Of course, they are not affiliated with the same company!)
(Of course, they are not affiliated with the same company!) The best part is that the location is near Kokusai-dori, which is easy to find. (Of course, they are not affiliated with the same company!) It is very easy to find as it is only a minute’s walk from Goodwill Street.
If you are driving, it is 11 minutes from Naha Airport via Umisora Tunnel. Otherwise, you can take the Yui Rail to “Makishi Station” and walk for 7 minutes for only 300 yen!
Walk along the side of Kokusai-dori Goodwill Street for 1 minute. The yellow “Haisai Chicken” sign is the landmark!
Point 2: What is the “Haisai Chicken” round roast like?
The chicken at Haisai Chicken is very similar to that at Urasoe and Ginowan.
The style is to stuff a large amount of garlic inside the chickens, and then cut it into pieces and eat, the aroma of garlic spreads in the mouth, giving it a very rich flavor.
The process is similar, so you can imagine that the taste is not that different.
The price is almost the same as at other restaurants: 1980 yen for a whole chicken and 990 yen for a half.
The difference is that bento boxes are using a quarter of a whole roasted chicken and curry with chicken! This means that you can eat the chicken cooked in the restaurant or take it out, without having to take it home and cook it yourself!
Point 3: It’s dark under the candlestick! There is also a “Tokyo branch” of “Haisai Chicken”!
In addition to the Okinawa branch, “Haisai Chicken” also has a “Tokyo branch” in Toyo 3-chome, Koto-ku, Tokyo as a delivery specialty restaurant! (This Kiba branch has since closed!) (The Kiba branch has since closed!) They can be delivered via UberEats/Delivery Kan. So it’s not just out of the gate in Okinawa.
Besides, they have also opened stores in Yurakucho “Washita Shop” and Koshigaya Aeon Mall “Okinawa Fair”, and in the Kanto area, they have opened Hiroo, Takenotsuka, Ekoda, Kameari, Chofu Shibasaki, and Kawasaki stores all at once!
It is now rather popular in the Tokyo metropolitan area as well!
Haisai Chicken, located in Makishi, Naha City, is a restaurant specializing in grilled whole chicken, just a minute’s walk from Kokusai-dori Goodwill Street. The chickens are filled with a large amount of garlic, and when cut into pieces and eaten, the flavorful garlic aroma is unmistakable.
There are several stores in the Kanto area, but you should visit the Okinawa store at least once!
