Located in Tomari, Naha City, about 15 minutes by car from Naha Airport, this steak restaurant is loved by locals. The prices are modest despite the dynamic presentation, and despite being a long-established restaurant, it can be said to be a steak restaurant for casual dining. It is especially recommended for those wishing to glimpse local people’s lives.
Point 1: No tourists? What is the location of the Pittsburgh Forum?
When you come to Okinawa, you must try “steak” at least once. Perhaps due to the influence of American culture, people in Okinawa like to eat steak after drinking, and there are numerous steak restaurants for tourists and locals not only in Naha but also on the main island of Okinawa.
Pittsburgh Forum” is one of them, established in July 1962. It was established in July 1962 and has been awarded the “A” sign by the U.S. military.
Because of its location in Tomari, Naha City, there are almost no tourists. It is a popular restaurant that is always full of locals.
The interior of the restaurant is reminiscent of the good old days in the U.S., and there is even a jukebox.
From Naha Airport, it takes about 11 minutes by car. It is very easy to find as it is located along a city street via Route 331 and Route 58.
By bus, Ryukyu Bus No. 120, No. 26, Yanbaru Express Bus, and Limousine Bus Naha Airport Line all pass by the store, so you may have seen its exterior.
By local bus, get off at “Kaminoya. It is a 3-minute walk to the store.
There are several buses passing by, so you can get off the bus on the way to Nago or Chatan and drop in at the store!
Point 2: Introducing the recommended steak menu at the Pittsburgh Forum!
The menu at Pittsburgh Forum includes steaks, hamburgers, chicken steaks, lobster, and shrimp.
Tourists would probably be more likely to eat steak, as most people think “steak is a must in Okinawa,” but chicken steak and hamburger steak are popular among locals, except the locals.
Among steaks, the “New York Steak” is an exceptional value at 1,350 yen, which includes a 200 g steak, soup, salad, fried rice, dessert, and coffee!
Also, the tenderloin (fillet), one of the most popular steaks, is 400 grams and comes with soup, salad, rice, petit cake dessert, coffee, and a glass of wine for 4,200 yen, a super service price!
Of course, not only is the price low, but the taste is also authentic, so it is no wonder that people come to Okinawa for this steak.
If there were a restaurant nearby, I could go there every day!
Point 3: “Pittsburgh Forum” 1970s style, bursting with retro interior design!
The “Pittsburgh Forum” has a vintage-quality jukebox that seems to have been in use for a long time and is still working.
You are not allowed to touch it without permission, but you can request a song for 100 yen per song.
If you think an oldie-like song like “Stand By Me” or “Pretty Woman” would be suitable for this restaurant, you will hate that it is in the jukebox.
Eating the best steak in a retro space while listening to vintage tunes. This is the right way to experience Okinawa. Please come and visit us.
