Great place to have some traditional Okinawan noodles with stewed pork! Queue might be long but the people finish their meals quick, or rather the locals.

Absolutely incredible noodles with some of the knots tender pork ever. A wonderful, cheap stop if you’re driving through the area. Thy only serve 3 things during lunch. Small noodles, big noodles and a mixed rice dish called Ju-shi. No vegetarian or halal/kosher options I’m afraid.

In general you can ignore reviews in English for any place in Japan (this one included). The noodles are spectacular, definitely the best part of this bowl of noodles if you ask me. The noodles are handmade and thicker than machine made noodles. Nothing is worse than soft, overcooked noodles but these are perfect - al dente. The broth is also outstanding. The pork is good but nothing special and the koregusu (コーレーグス) is nothing different from what you'll find other places on Okinawa. That being said I'm very happy to eat here. It's over 100 years old and they clearly love their craft. One of the top 10 bowls of soba out of thousands I've had in the last 15 years.

Cosy place with tight seating. We went for lunch at around 1pm and we luckily got the seat straight away. They don't have much options just different size of the soba. Nice seafood soup as the base the noodle texture was good as well. There was quite a long queue when we leave at around half 1.

One of the famous Okinawa soba place. It is good but I don't know why people wait 30 minutes or more to taste soba here. I stopped by because I was too hungry, couldn't find another place to eat.

I know it's super traditional and it's gotten white popular because of that fact, but I personally feel like it's nothing special. I wouldn't line up for it.

Very special home made noodle, not cooked till very soft but still taste nice. The pork was very sweet, taste a little bit closer to Malaysia/Singapore can pork. The soup is very saltish but flavoring. The spring onion was a surprise - I am not a spring onion person but this spring onion was really good. Add the chili soaked awamori (Okinawa sake) onto the pork or into the soup, the taste transform completely. The seat is a little too cramp, and due to popularity you may have to wait for some time for the seat.

There was only 2 choices, small or big noodles and a bowl of rice. There was a short queue of 30minutes outside the shop. Service was fast once seated. Noodles tasted good, but average with no wow factor. Recommended if in the area.

Great little Okinawa Soba restaurant. We got there just before it opened at 1100 and by 1105 the restaurant was full. They have three menu items, a small or large bowl of Okinawa Soba and and bowl of takikomi rice. We had the the soba and it was delicious! Noodles are homemade and the pork and broth were also very good. Service is very fast, but if you don't get there before it opens you will be waiting in line. Just like many soba and ramen restaurants in Japan, they only stay open as long as they have food, so plan on going early or you will likely miss out.

In general their signature noodle menu is not bad, but not worth waiting over 15 mins. Soup is the best in my opinion. I never tried Okinawa noodle at other place but I would prefer the famous udon over this noodle.

Appreciate for your kindness :)Okinawan traditional soba was a little bit salty and not amazingly tasty. But, I think it would be the best okinawan soba cause I heard other restaurants' soba tastes awful..So if you wanna experience real Okinawan soba, this restaurant could be your best choice :D
