The Big Heart Steakhouse chain has locations in Nishihara, Misato Village, Awase and Uruma.

The Big Heart 200 gram special sirloin steak is served with mixed vegetables, steak fries, rice or bread, soup and salad for 1,480 yen

The Big Heart 200 gram cubed tenderloin steak is served with mixed vegetables, steak fries, rice or bread, soup and salad for 1,480 yen

This plate is the current special meal after 15:00 each day; hamburger, chicken, brown onion gravy, egg, French fries, salad, mixed vegetables, rice and soup for just 800 yen

Okinawa City and Uruma City is a bit distant from the multitude of dining choices that dot the Route 58 corridor from Naha to Chatan. If you're looking for steakhouses in this area the Big Heart Steakhouse chain has four central Okinawa locations in Nishihara, Awase, Misato and Uruma. The steaks start at 1,300 yen for cubed steak, and less than 1,000 yen for hamburger and chicken sets. Lunch sets from 11:00 ~ 15:00 are an even better value. Big heart doesn't have fancy decor or a wait staff wearing flair, but the food is first class. I visited the old Misato Village location in northern Okinawa City that is just west of the southernmost intersection of Routes 75 and 224. Big Heart is open daily 11:00 ~ 22:00 and only accepts yen.
