Sasebo Restaurants

Skinny's has been around for a over 20 years.

When you walk into this small and friendly dinner, you may hear the tunes of Jimmy hendrix or the Rolling Stones or Clapton. It's a 8 barstool counter with a couple of boths to sit.

I recommend you first order a beer, and the owner will break out the coldest mug from his freezer and pour you a Asahi beer from the Tap. Mmmmmmmmm!

Most of the customer are the local sailors that are on there way home or local bargirls eating prior to starting there work night.

Small but a great experience to start your Sasebo night!

Favorite Dish: He only has about 15 items on the menu, but they are all so good and so greasy!

Fried rice the specialty, ghioza and the famous BLT are alll great.

Just a little hole in the wall place just off the Arcade. Excellent food, good sized portions... and Sangria imported from Spain.... Almost as good as the genuine article... gotta try it while you're here

Favorite Dish: I don't think I even have a favorite dish, everything is good. Favorite beverage is definitely the Sangria.... lol

the food there is great!...it is a hambugersteak place served to you on a hot plate!...this restaraunt inside displays a more retro 50's look with 50's and 60's music playing and the place is pretty big for a normal restaruant in Japan

Favorite Dish: hambuger steak with cheese served with fries...I usually get the big hamburger steak...and at 4 dollars you can get a drink of coke in a glass almost as big as a trophy!...there side dishes are okay as well as there deserts...unfortunately they only accept japanese yen so make sure you don't carry American money there...

It is said that the Sasebo is the place where the hamburger was first introduced. This would only mean that Sasebo has created it's own original hamburger which draws visitors around the area to this this little waterfront town just to try out the "Sasebo Burger".

Favorite Dish: Good local burgers.

Street vendor in Saki Town

Favorite Dish: Takoyaki! Most Americans do not know about this Japanese street food at all, but, if you are adventerous, go for it! These are spherical octopus fritters served with a dipping sauce. They make these while you watch and you eat them as hot as you dare. Cooked octopus has the flavor of scallops with a very little bit of toughness.

In Saki Town, there is a place that prepares "okonomiyaki". These are savory pancakes made with fish cake, cabbage and green onions, plus other ingredients. These are prepared right in front of you on teppans by only one person, a Japanese Grandmother! She speaks not a bit of English, but her smile makes you feel like you are family.

Favorite Dish: Okonomiyaki and try the noodle variation, with a Kirin Ichiban! Kampai!

The best way to describe the food would be Asian Fast Food. The shrimp fried rice and Giyoza are great. The chicken is pretty good too. The inside of the place is less to be desired though. While you're eating you might get a visit by one of the local roaches that live in the restaraunt. The food is pretty good though when you're drunk. They also serve beer which is always a plus for me.

Favorite Dish: The giyoza is great. It's kind of like an eggroll I guess. It's a shell with meat and veggies fried inside. Good stuff if you're not worried about a heart attack.

He doesn't clean his knife or use a different one when preparing meals. There is a thing called e-coli.... just watch him cook your food. Try to stomach it after thinking about it. Also its cramped as all hell in there. It can't fit more then 10 people.

Favorite Dish: ............ HAH
