Restaurant: Translates as "The Surprised Donkey"
Dish: Hamburger Steak with pinapple slices and fries.
Cost: 808 Yen for the steak and 298 for a shared plate of fries.
Atmosphere: It looked like a cross between a shack and a sunken ship.
Tastiness: You couldn't drag me back in here -_-
Servers: Oddly enough, more white with green aprons. The servers were friendly, but not very attentive...and none of them understood english, so they had to bear with our crazy rambling Japanese.

Restaurant: Mosburger
Dish: A.....mosburger. Burger, cheese, and onion sauce.
Cost: 380 Yen, 620 with Fries and a Drink
Atmosphere: It was a fast food joint >_> (We decided to replace spiciness in the format because only like half the stuff we ever eat is spicy.
Tastiness: I'll pass on seconds.
Servers: Your standard fare for fast food workers. Highschoolers in little white and green aprons and such. Cute, but nothing special. Server seemed to go out of her way to use her english vocabulary on us, but it was exactly like us using Japanese on a native speaker; confusing and garbled, but hilarious.

Location: Nada, Okinawa
Restaurant: Hotamoto Bento "HottoMotto", yo.
Dish: Bento Box of Rice and Steak Eel Bento (what did you expect?)
Cost: 520 Yen 600 yen (no drinks)
Spiciness: None. At all. Even with "pepper flakes" added. I think this category only applies to curry, bro.
Tastiness: Not too bad, but it was a little under seasoned. Lovely!
Servers: One counter working guy and some cooks in the back. Prompt service and not too long of a wait for a freshly cooked meal. Not too bad.
The counter guy was kind of cute in a geeky way X3 His name was Inamine, which was a bit odd.

Dish: Random sushi!

Spiciness: Very little this time Easy for you to say. That second tuna had me in tears
Tastiness: Delicious sushis
Servers: Same meek but attentive female staff. The chefs weren't crazy "I kill you" old guys this time though. Bonus points! Also, one server kept refilling my water every couple seconds. It was unnerving, but flattering.
It was funny XD We sat closer to the chef this time so I got a better look at the guys behind the curtain, too.

And then there were the dudes behind the curtain who looked jovial enough >> The girls kept our tiny water glasses full which was nice.

Cost: 4900 yen for meal, 250 yen for extra ricebowl
Spiciness: None in the meat, slight in the Kimchee jige
Tastiness: Very good, but for the price...? Honestly, I've had much better
Servers: She was very nice and quite attentive, but obviously nervous when mom started throwing broken Japanese at her *head/desk* Dear mother tries so hard. Though I REALLY felt bad for the male server at the next table (too bad, he was cute). >_>; He got a table full of Marines and Marines' wives who may or may not be worse than Marines themselves. All in all though, I can't fault the staff at all. They knew maybe one or two words of english but tried their very best to make do.

DAWN OF THE FIRST DAY:
Location: Some City in, Okinawa- Nada, Okinawa -_-; A minute or so past Kadena Air Base Gate 1
Restaurant: CoCos curry house
Dish: Tonkatsu Curry rice (Fried Pork over curry) with Nan bread - Same!
Cost: 880 Yen - Same
Spiciness: level 3 of 10 - 1 >>;
Tastiness: Record breaking - Pretty good :3
Servers: One male manager, 6 female servers and cooks. not very attractive, but had cute uniforms. However, whenever they were given an order they all responded in a single chorus of "HAAAAAAAAAI!!!" which was so adorable it almost drew me away from the plate in front of me.
Not gonna lie, when we walked in to a huge chorus of "IRASSHAIMASE!!!" I was a bit intimadated. But it was a funny little place. The guy seems to be the leader. He'd say something and, as Shawn mentioned, the entire place would break out into "HAAAAAAAAAI!"
