With all the great sushi places on Okinawa, the choices are certainly abundant. Yet, my friend and I found another great one, just a couple of minutes from Kadena Air Base. Delicious Sushi opened in February of 2009. A special feature with your lunch order is a free soup and salad, with homemade dressing, if you do not take your order to-go.
We had no problem communicating with the owner, Touyama Satoshi, while ordering.
Their extensive menu contains all descriptions of food items in English and the calorie count for each.
We tried a variety of sushi that we had not seen in other places and all our choices lived up to the restaurant's catchy name.
Special Note: 979-5425
Hours: 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. and 4:30p.m. - 9:30 p.m. Closed on Thursday.
Location: Down the street from Kitakaisen
Directions: From Hwy 58 take Hwy 23 east and make a right at the first signal. This is the same signal you turn at for the Athletic Complex where Kitakaisen is located. Delicious Sushi is on the right hand side, after you make the turn. It faces the side street, on the backside of Capital Steakhouse. If you are coming from Kadena Gate 2, then go one block past Coco Curry house and make a left at the same signal. Once you make the turn, go past the front of the restaurant and the apartment building next door. You will see parking for Delicious Sushi, with labeled spaces, on the right.
As ever the restaurant looks really nice and clean and the owner, cheerful. But I can really not do fish. Love you. Mom
He takes such pride in his work! I love the Delicious Club!
We did this for the restaurant review in the June Oki Living. They also have pastas and appetizers. The tempura ice cream (which is just fried ice cream) was really good too. Most of his sushi rolls are somewhat “healthy”, too (between 150 and 500 calories.)
I have been curious about this place – thanks for the review! Oh, do they have high chairs? It looks like there is a baby sitting in one of the pics but it might be a small person! LOL!
This place is great and the owner is very friendly! However, he is usually the only one preparing the food, so be prepared to wait quite a while if someone is ahead of you. It is worth the wait though!
yes, super friendly. we came in nearly closing time, and he still suited up, took out all the ingredients, and started cooking. it was yummy and decent price, i even ate that fried noodle decoration! haha.
My family tried this place out for lunch today. It was DELICIOUS!! As previously mentioned, the wait was quite long BUT worth it. We have decided to do take out next time, calling our order in ahead. A bonus with take-out, 10% off menu price! Oh, one more thing, there was no soup or salad today served with lunch…so not sure if that was a special for the day or what.
What did you order in this picture…was that one order or a couple of rolls? Looks amazing! Thanks for posting!
My friend and I enjoyed this place very much. We were the only ones there at the time. We both agreed it was kid friendly and there is room so it would be a nice place to have a little luncheon with the ladies. He mentioned edamame was the special and gave it to us for free along with soup and salad (score)A help yourself water cooler which is always nice too. We tried the rice paper roll with shrimp,avocado, cucumber and lettuce..super fresh, yumm with the chili sauce for dippin, the green salad roll and the okinawan roll..all good cant wait to try the green dragon roll, not on the pic of menu. Super freindly owner and he explained the rolls are so big because typically thats what Americans like. They are monstrous and its hard to fit in your mouth but Delish all the same..he gave us a take out menu and cant wait to bring my kids and husband!
Why aren’t they ever open!? My husband and I have gone there twice to eat during normal operating hours and they are always closed. I would definitely call before I went because it doesn’t seem like the owner ever keeps the place open! Such a shame too because the sushi is really good!
Satoshi usually doesn’t open on Thursdays (unless something has changed) so that might your problem. If he’s sick, he won’t open either since he’s a one man shop but I’m very surprised he was closed. He should be open 6 days a week though. Weekends (Saturday and Sunday) are the best evenings to go in my opinion because it isn’t nearly as crowded. Friday is the worst! The nicest owner though, bends over backwards to please. If you become a regular, will hook you up with treats every time you go.
This is my favorite sushi on the island, but sometimes the owner is just not there and it states he should be open on the door, that is frustrating especially when craving his awesome sushi.
My family and I went here while my mom was in town back in Aug and it was delicious! My husband and I are big sushi eaters, and picky too. The owner was very generous with us and his rolls were made beautifully. His unagi roll is the best I have ever had! I do have to admit that some of his rolls used a bit too much mayo (I can tell he used miracle whip), so it was a little overwhelming, but delicious nonetheless.
A hole in the wall joint, but soooo yummy! I can’t wait to go back soon!
Tried it for the first time the other day. It was absolutely wonderful. Definitely the best sushi I’ve had on island! Yum! I will be going back again and again.
My son and I ate here for the first time, tonight….. amazing, absolutely amazing!! This is definitely a new favorite. Not only does the food taste great, it looks great too. The Chef/Owner is an artist with the food. The food comes out looking so pretty that you almost don’t want to eat it. He’s super friendly and gives you an origami book and paper so you can try your hand at origami while you’re waiting. We will be certain to frequent this place.
I have eaten sushi all over the island, if you can wait the 1.5 hours required to finally get your fresh sushi you will be happy. Just as good as Yoshi Achi.
FYI, there is no free soup+salad with lunch. A friend and I had sushi there on more than one occasion but did not get anything extra in return. I’m thinking that was probably an opening special. Delicious sushi + excellent presentation (some sushi from here was almost too pretty to eat).
I stopped by with my son Tuesday and the food was wonderful. Neither my son nor I are fans of the roll style sushi but his was fantastic. Owner was friendly and the environment was nice and quiet.
