Dēng る Xiǎo - 国頭村 日本

Despite being reasonably priced with a basic izakaya menu, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was. The roast beef was satisfying and the tempura was tasty! In particular, the chicken stir-fried with black vinegar (forgot to take a photo) was amazing, almost like something you'd find at an authentic Chinese restaurant. The crispy chicken, wrapped in a well-balanced black vinegar sauce, had a great texture and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. It's also convenient that they're open late. There were plenty of appealing bottles of alcohol displayed at the counter, giving off a real drinking place vibe, but I think it's a great spot for a meal as well. Personally, I appreciate that it's a non-smoking establishment.

Our family of five visited this small izakaya tonight and it was fantastic! There was no English menu, but Google Translate helped us out a bit and I showed them pictures from previous reviews, which helped us have a perfect dinner. The lady who ran the izakaya was very kind. Although we had to wait a little for all of our food to come out, it was definitely worth it. We also ordered fried rice that I forgot to take a picture of. Everything was delicious and so good that we had to order some items twice!
