After all my previous write ups on this Okinawan holiday having been on establishments serving Western cuisine, this one below is a change.
My wife and I stumbled across Ramen Ryuya when walking around Naha town centre and this was our second visit to this noodle restaurant.
The decor inside is traditional Japanese although not old looking. There are basic tables and stools and also a counter by the kitchen that you can sit by.
I ordered a standard bowl of noodles, of the many variants that they have on offer. The friendly staff gave us a Chinese / English menu when they knew we were not locals.
My food arrived fairly quickly after ordering. The hand made noodles where nice with a slight buttery taste to them. The broth was pork based and flavoursome too and there were slices of pork and sprinkling bean sprouts to add some meat and crunch respectively, to the dish, which were good as well. This was all topped off with a sheet of seaweed as shown in the picture below.
After we finished our noodles we were given a small bowl of flavoured ice, on the house. This was a nice, sweet end to the meal consisting of ice crushed into small pieces and a berry flavoured topping.
A nice touch also were the paper bibs they have available to wear to stop any splashes getting on your clothes.
So this place was quite a find: the food was really good, service was friendly and efficient and it was reasonably priced by Japanese standards.
Scores:
Food: 4/5
Presentation: 3/5
Service: 3/5
Setting: 3/5
Overall: 13 /20
Total bill: ¥1400, about £7 a head.
I ate: Noodles
I drank: Chilled oolong tea, which was freely available.
I wore: Slightly damp clothes, accompanied with broken umbrellas due to the wind.
