Kuriya Japanese Cuisine & Pub
Very small and super authentic — worth the short drive out of Garapan when you want the real thing.
- It's tiny — don't roll in with a big group and expect seats.

Gualo Rai — Locals' Food Picks
Gualo Rai sits a short drive south of Garapan, and it's worth the trip for a couple of standout spots that don't get the foot traffic the central district does — small, local places rather than the bigger sit-down restaurants Garapan is known for.

The Sushi Spot
The best sushi on island — the chefs aren't Japanese, mostly local, but the food holds its own and the community backs it. A bit pricy, but worth it.
Order: Assorted sushi
- Well worth the drive out to Gualo Rai — just budget for it, it's on the pricier side.
