金壷食堂 Chinese buffet restaurant is located near Pottery Street and the Makishi Public Market (maybe a bit difficult to find though). Offers all-you-can-eat buffet priced per person. Most dishes are vegan but better to ask the chef to confirm on the individual dishes. Causal set up. On Sundays only open for takeaway rice cakes. Open Mon-Wed 8:00am-1:30pm, Fri-Sun 8:00am-1:30pm. Takeaway only on Sundays.

Little Taiwan in Okinawa!

Chinese vegetarian dishes at amazing 600 yen!! The owner was so friendly and he wanted to show me some rare Taiwanese vegan ingredients from his freezer. You should definety go if you are in that area, since Okinawa is NOT vege-friendly island, their traditional dishes are pork feet soup!!!

How to get there: yes it's a bit hard, from famous Kokusai street at around center, there is Heiwa dori arcade (very ugly, old passage) enter there and walk to the end at about 10 min. When you see sun shine again, ask somebody if they know Kintsubo Shokudo, vegetarian (BEGITALIAN) restaurant. Should be very close. Only open until 3:00-4:00 pm.

New Cafe

This place has changed hands. It's now an alternative cafe offering a vegan curry for lunch for under 1,000 Yen. It's not open for dinner. The staff were very friendly, but as I don't speak much Japanese and they don't (yet) have a website or phone number I don't have all the information needed to update this, so it would be great if someone else could in the future. As far as I know the menu is mostly not vegan (as the advertisements for "village leather from Nepal suggest) but the delicious curry is still excellent value if you're in the Pottery village. It's just around the corner from the pottery museum.

Pros: delicious, inexpensive vegan lunch set, friendly staff, great location in the pottery village

Cons: no longer all veg (I think)

Actually I think you accidentally went to Soi Cafe (https://www.facebook.com/soi.naha) instead of Kintsubo Shokudo. We visited Kintsubo Shokudo just recently and it was still a Taiwanese breakfast / lunch buffet.

Thank you so much for letting me know. I would update my review but it would move it to the top, which doesn't seem right when I didn't go there.
So please everyone take this as a warning to find the right restaurant! I'm disappointed that I didn't make it to Kintsubo Shokudo.

Simple, tasty, healthy

Perfect buffet, full of vegetables, soup, rice, udon, the, water. Almost everything was vegan, but I think the menu changes pretty much everyday, so, if you are vegan, just say it to the owner and he'll tell you what you can eat. Everything was delicious and very tasty.
The place is small and very simple.

The location on the map is wrong, the right street is the one that runs parallel to the one signed. I took a screen shot on Maps when I was there and I'll upload it.

Pros: Lots of vegetables, Buffet, Vegan choices
