Navy chow was good. Marine Corps chow wasn't bad usually, a lot of times we ate off "John Wayne Trays": stainless steel, divided portions, 11.5'' x 15.5'' -- capable of stopping small arms projectiles. Never tried the Army's.
I learned to eat Sushi, offbase in Japan, before it became a fad. In the P.I. there was "Monkey Meat on a Stick" [never sure just what it was?] but it was 3 pieces for 5 Pisos. 7 Pisos = 1 US Dollar. Also a San Miguel Beer was 7 pisos.

Chow on Kadena was truly excellent. Our own chow hall at Camp Hansen was decent, not great, but it didn't try to kill us too often. I do have memories of at least two bouts of food poisoning per deployment. However, just outside Main Gate was Kinville, which had some of the best Taco-Rice&Cheese around, not to mention the Yakisoba. Not many Sushi joints outside of Oki-City, but Kinville had some real cool chicken nuggets, half a dozen per serving, all about the size of a plum, and all dark meat.......
