Salty\u2019s Grill and Caf\u00e9 did not close its doors during the coronavirus pandemic. It has limited its operations but pressed on to continuously serve their unique and scrumptious Chamorro and Japanese dishes.<\/p>\n

Manager Takakazu Tanzawa said they did not close because their business compass is bigger than earning profit. \u201cThe pandemic did not faze us because we continued to stay open to support the local community\u2026 For a long time we did take-out orders only, but as the community progressed in flattening the curve, we were also making changes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cStill subject to government regulations, we recently have opened our dine-in operations, but only for lunch time from 11am to 2pm and not in full restaurant capacity\u201418 people and limited to four people per table and not more than that. We do take-out until 3pm and as for dinner, we are still temporarily closed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Also known as a happy hour hub for locals and tourists, Tanzawa said that the bar is not yet in operation. \u201cOur menu specials that our chef, Suzuki Takeshi, comes up with sustained us. Our famous curry dishes comes in beef, pork, shrimp, and chicken and there is nothing like it on island as my chef mixes the right amount of spices and ingredients.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for health and safety regulations, we adhere to them strictly to protect both our staff and customers who come in to dine. Facemasks are worn all the time by our staff and we sanitize all of our surfaces (tables, counters, chairs, etc.). We also encourage for staff and customers to remain 6 feet apart to support and maintain social distancing,\u201d Tanzawa added.<\/p>\n

Salty\u2019s Grill and Caf\u00e9 is located on Beach Road, beside McDonald\u2019s in Garapan and is one of the few wholly Japanese-owned restaurants and bars operating on Saipan.<\/p>\n
