About a minute’s drive from Naha Airport. It is a chicken specialty restaurant located in Kitamae, Chatan-cho, central Okinawa Island. The American chicken is delicious and a little different from Japanese chicken! The burritos also have an authentic taste, and once you try one, you will be addicted.
Point 1: What is the location of Chicken & Papa in front of Ameville?
Chicken & Papa is a chicken specialty restaurant located in Chatan-cho 2-chrome, central Okinawa.
It is located in front of American Village, which is not so crowded with tourists but rather an area where U.S. military personnel in Japan walk around.
Chicken & papa” opened in the Corona Hazama, and although it is not so famous yet, it is very tasty and it will be a matter of time before it becomes a famous restaurant.
It takes about 38 minutes by car from Naha Airport.
By bus, take Ryukyu Bus No. 120 or Limousine Bus Naha Airport Line and get off at “Chatan”. It is a 3-minute walk to the restaurant.
Point 2: What is the recommended chicken menu at Chicken & Papa?
Chicken & Papa offers a variety of fried chicken dishes, chicken plates, mini plates, burritos, and drinks.
The restaurant has a reputation for its delicious Nashville and Caribbean-style chicken, which is slightly different from domestic fried chicken and can only be found in the U.S., attracting many foreigners to the restaurant.
The menu is written only in English, but the staff is Japanese, so you can order in Japanese!
The original fried chicken is crispy fried and each piece is large and very filling.
There is also a hot version with spicy seasoning on it, which is very popular but seriously spicy.
There is also the “F Plate” (1,300 yen), which includes bone-in and boneless chicken with salad, and the “Hot F Plate” (1,400 yen), a spicy version of that with bread and pickles. The “Ultimate Plate” (1700 yen), pictured here with three pieces of fried chicken, Caribbean rice, and green salad, is the most extravagant.
There is also the “F&C Plate” (1100 yen) with two fried chicken tenders and curry, and the “B&C Plate” with stewed chicken and curry.
The “Mini Plate” is a plate of fried chicken, salad, and beans for 400 to 850 yen, and is recommended for those who want to try a variety of dishes but do not want a large portion, as well as for women.
Although there are not many varieties of fried chicken on the menu, the original chicken and hot chicken are the most popular. Once you try them, you will be addicted to them.
The restaurant has an authentic American atmosphere and is an oasis for expatriates living in Japan.
Point 3: “Chicken & Papa” and other menu items!
Chicken & Papa also offers a burrito with fried chicken in it.
The diameter of the burrito is about 6 to 7 cm. It is so thick that you have to open your mouth to eat it.
The burrito comes in two thicknesses: red hot and fried chicken. Even though it is hot, it is slightly less spicy, so we highly recommend the Red Hot.
The harmony of juicy fried chicken, vegetables, and original spicy sauce is irresistible!
The price is 1,200 yen, but the portions are generous, so women will probably find it enough to share by halving the portion.
Drinks are also available in alcoholic form, and we recommend the mojito, which is filled with fresh mint! Red Hot Fried Chicken makes a great snack.
CHICKEN & PAPA, located in Chatan-cho 2-chrome, features fried chicken like you would only find in the U.S. mainland, which is highly praised by foreigners living in Japan.
Its spicy flavor, reminiscent of Nashville and the Caribbean, maybe one of the few restaurants in the country.
Opened in the Corona Disaster, it is not so famous yet, so you won’t have to wait in line, but it is very popular and always crowded with foreigners. You should visit while you can.
