THE GARLIC SHRIMP / Onna Village, Okinawa Prefecture—A Flavor You'll Love! A Specialty Garlic Shrimp Restaurant

”THE GARLIC SHRIMP,” a restaurant specializing in garlic shrimp, is located in Onna Village, a resort area in Okinawa Prefecture.

My first encounter with the owner began with a single email. After receiving a message saying, “I’d love for you to try this,” I drove over. To be honest, I wondered, “Is this place just trying to attract attention with its exterior?” but I was truly moved by the owner’s overwhelming dedication to shrimp. While taste is subjective, we find the garlic shrimp here to be absolutely delicious. It has a 4.8 out of 5 rating on Google Reviews. It’s also extremely well-rated by international customers.

Okibura Reviews

I’ve heard that the owner pays close attention to every detail, from preparing the shrimp to how they look when they’re fried. He said he wants to serve only food that he genuinely believes is delicious.

THE GARLIC SHRIMP is located in the resort area of Onna Village. If you're wondering where to have lunch, be sure to add this restaurant to your list of options! Since it's located along Route 58, you'll likely pass by it while sightseeing.

Looking at the reviews on Google, there were comments like, “I went there three times during my stay in Okinawa,” and “I happened to walk in and try the food—it was so delicious that I came back the next day.” Apparently, there was an American customer who ordered both garlic shrimp and garlic beef at the same time and ate them all by himself, and a Korean woman who found it so delicious after her first bite that she ordered another serving right then and there.
