Sukiya Front
Last night, I felt like I wanted to try some local food. So we decided to go to Sukiya. I have often passed it but never tried it before.
Sukiya offers rice and curry bowls, gyudon (a Japanese dish consisting of a bowl of rice topped with beef and onions) and donburi (a rice bowl with either meat or fish with vegetables).
I was glad they had an English menu (their take out menu). They have some stacked by the register. The food is reasonably priced. They have different sizes of bowls: Small(S), Medium(M), Large(L) and Mega or Double Large (LL).
Sukiya Order
I bought a curry with yakitori (M), which was really tasty. It is a bowl of rice with chicken and some veggies in the curry. Watch out for the chicken skin though, I had a few bits of it on my chicken. I also bought a Kimchi Gyudon(M). Kimchi is a traditional fermented Korean dish, made of vegetables with varied seasonings. My husband got a yakitori bowl(LL) that had some seaweed in it, which was very tasty, too. We paid a total price of 15,400 Yen.
The food came in really good amounts. And the service was pretty good. From the time I placed my order, our food was ready in 10-12 minutes. I didn’t talk to anyone who spoke English, but with the English menu, you just point and let them know how many of each item you want.
There is indoor seating or you can take your food to go. They also have a drive thru.
Directions: Sukiya is a local fast food restaurant. You will see them all over the island. For one near Kadena: From Kadena Gate 3, go straight. Pass Chibana housing and Camp Shields, keep going straight till you come to a T intersection with 329. (It will be 3 traffic lights including the one at Gate 3.) Take a left at that light. And follow till you see Mc Donalds on your right. Sukiya will be on your left.
Hours: It is a 24-hour food chain
Menu:
[…] a stone’s throw from Camp Foster and easily accessed from Highway 58 (it’s behind Sukiya; if you’ve gone past Warp furniture heading north you’ve gone too far!), it has a decent amount […]
This is one of the reason I am so glad to be moving back to Japan. My family loves Sukiya’s. Thanks for the post
Great price, good food and its ridiculous how fast the food is prepared. We typically get the yakitori bowl.
do they take credit cards ??
Yen only but my family of 4 can eat there for under Y2000
We love this place! We eat here often. My kiddos love it. My three yr old who is the pickest eater ever often request to eat here. We always get the gyudon. My daughter and I love the 3 cheese gyudon and my hubby likes the kimchi gyudon and my son gets the child’s gyudon.
I will try this Leeann. You said they are everywhere, is there one close to Lester so, I can just walk there? See you soon!!
Good post btw,.
There is one down 58 in front of Foster near the Coco’s curry house. It’s next to the Furniture store Happy something.
Hehe, yes, 1540Y! 🙂 Must give it a try, good portions, good price 😉
I love this place! I always get the beef curry bowl, which is like 480Y
I sure hope you meant 1540Y as well. They are located all over the island just look for the sign or the pictures and you are sure to find them.
Did you mean 1,540Y? Cause 15,400 is like…well, too much for take out!! LOL
I did want to say thanks!! I JUST had this discussion with my DH on sat – we drove by one and I said “I’ve always wanted to go in there…” — Now I will!!!
