Reviews
"On a Monday afternoon, I aimed to enjoy the squid ink soup set but found it sold out. I opted for the tuna hamburger steak and today's grilled fish set instead. Both dishes were enjoyable, albeit at a price reflecting quality over quantity. I left feeling satisfied and eager to return."
"I visited the second location of Itoman Fishermen's Restaurant, which has a relaxed atmosphere compared to the busy main branch. My choice was the rich fish broth Okinawa soba, which was flavorful and satisfying. The tempura was crispy, and the rice portion was generous, making it a great value lunch. I look forward to trying more dishes on my next visit."
"After renewing my license, I stopped by Itoman's restaurant. Although it has a slight challenge with direction due to nearby construction, the friendly staff made up for it. I ordered the squid ink soup, and it was wonderfully rich and tasty. The tempura and sides were delightful as well. I left feeling very pleased and excited to return with family next time."
"I discovered Itoman Fishermen's Restaurant's second shop during my Okinawa trip. The butter-grilled fish exceeded my expectations, with a deliciously crispy exterior. The appetizers were inventive and flavorful. I can't wait to visit again for more amazing food and share it with family."
