Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Kyushu

The chicken soup is very delicious and generous in portion. The set meal offers many different ways to enjoy it, all of which are tasty. The service is excellent. Reservation is required in advance.

Love the chicken broth that’s been simmered for 6 hours with very good quality chicken. The chicken in the broth was cooked to perfect, love the tender texture and fresh taste. The spring onion was cooked to perfection and we couldn’t stop from ordering one more.

My advice is go earlier. They don’t take away the dishes when you’re done. Probably a personal preference, but I would prefer to drink more of the soup instead of just using it as a soup base.

We went there with our toddler and had a fantastic experience. The service and the food were amazing. The chicken broth was golden and subtle. The ponzu they served was the perfect accompaniment for the chicken. We loved the tebasaki course and the granité as dessert. I highly recommend.

Food here is legit amazing 🔥. Book early online. The basic course is sufficient and their karagae and tempura chicken are to die for. The chicken soup is on a different level of yummy! 🤤

The mizutaki service was incredible! Very delicious - definitely recommend one of the sets they offer. Mr Matsui's service was extremely attentive and made the dining experience an absolute pleasure!

Made a reservation about a week in advance. Had the tenjin set - everything was great. They were able to change the appetizer to fit my dietary requirements. However the porridge at the end tasted a bit too salty. The service is amazing!

Very fresh seafood. Atmosphere of the restaurant was great with fish tanks located in the middle of the restaurant. Food was cooked nicely. Highly recommended if you are visiting Fukuoka. Service was good with waitresses wearing kimono’s which gave the restaurant a Japanese cultural mood.

This is basically a restaurant set in a fish market! The seafood is so fresh and the menu is extensive - from sashimi to tempuras, fish roe congee and everything in between. Go for the bench seats - kind of like sitting in a sushi bar but with tanks of fresh seafood in your sight as you watch the chefs capture and get them prepared. Highly recommended.

Traditional style japanese seafood cuisine and service. High quality seafood with lots live tanks. We mistakenly ordered a set menu and a few extra things and ended up way too full. Lots to see and eat, I have never seen a live squid tank which was very cool. Worth a stop, would repeat

The restaurant is so amazing. We sat in front of the counter and in front of the fish tank. We had omakase and it’s so much that we are all so full. The service is fantastic too

Fish tanks and squid pond within the restaurant. Pricey but high quality fare. Had dinner here on 13 April 2025. Four of us ordered a heartening meal of sashimi premium, porridge, unagi, tempura platter, pork buns, and two glasses of mei-jiu. Total bill came up to ¥22,000 per person.

I had the greatest sashimi experience there. Squid, different fish, etc Can't get any fresher, straight out the water.

Beautiful place to have weekend set lunch at 2,200yen (one option with some add-ons) - delicious and fresh sashimi. The chawanmushi is so soft and delicious!

Arrive there around 5:30pm, the seats are almost full, but lucky no need for waiting. The seating is a bit tight but that's the atomsphere and traditional style old ramen you expected at this price. The food served is fast and hot， no surprises for the dumplings, and fried rice but both are good. The noodle is the classic fine Fukuoka Hakata style with medium softness, but have the chewy stiffness texture, that go well with the soup that taste not too salty and oily and makes me finish the whole bowl. The fried ramen is also good with many vegetables and seafood. Value for money and good portion too.

Really delicious tonkotsu ramen. Soup is very drinkable and sweet flavour like corn. The side of half size fried rice was so good, got good wok energy in there and the Gyoza is nice too. There is a queue at this place but not too long of a wait.

Marvelous ramen. Longer wait means better good. Don't be discouraged if the lines are long. Just grab a couple beer and chill in line.. Ramen is light and full of umami. Gyoza thin and flavorful.

The famous hakata ramen in Fukuoka and it certainly lived up to its expectations. The broth was rich and yet not overly heavy. Noodles were thinner than the usual ones and you can select the firmness of your noodles. And if you like it spicy, be sure to add the chilli oil and perhaps the garlic sauce too. The chilli oil was really good and somewhat similar to the Chinese style chilli oil.

We went at 630pm on weekday. There’s a queue opposite the shop. Was seated within 10minutes. The ramen is relatively thin. Gyoza is good. Fried rice is just fried rice

DIE DIE MUST TRY!!!! A super duper Pork broth and Gyoza. Could have licked the bowl. Queue is super long but they open till 3:00am Totally worth the wait

Really good ramen spot, the 7k reviews already speak for themselves! Also don't be too afraid of the long queue, it moves quicker than it seems! I went here on a sunday at 6:30 pm and got seated within 20 minutes.

The flavour is very different from what you get in generic Tokyo and ASEAN chains. I like it nonetheless. Clean and not too thick. Noodles were medium firm. Not too salty either. Very umami. We joined the queue at 1040 and already there were 30 people in front of us. We ate at 1120. But we noticed the queue was shorter at 2pm and also a lot shorter at 7pm (this was a Saturday) Service fast and good. Update: 5 ramens and 9 days later.... this is still my favourite ramen of the trip

Went on a Friday night around 7pm, from queue to food on the table was approximately an hour. Decent amount of seating. Staff ran the line very efficiently and once folks were seated the food was in front of you in less than 3 minutes. First time trying Hakata style ramen, it was delicious. Broth was very savory, earthy notes and I felt like I was smelling mushrooms (I don't think there are mushrooms involved but that's what I thought I was smelling lol wanted to mention this in case that might be off putting to another diner).

One of the spots to have a good ramen in Fukuoka! Smelly but good! Not for the faint heart theyve got the best side dishes! And diy garlic crusher! Must try in Fukuoka! No lines when we went there! Tastes so good!

Still one of the best ramen I’ve eaten in Japan! The broth is rich and flavorful, noodles perfectly cooked, and every bite feels comforting and satisfying. The quality and consistency never disappoint. Definitely a must-visit for ramen lovers!

I could smell it half a block away and had to wait 20m to get in, so I expected it to be good. That was doubly confirmed when I sat down and had a container of garlic cloves and a garlic press seated next to me. Amazing thin, firm noodles in a frothy broth. I have no idea how they do it, but it's like drinking whipped cream. Pork was pretty tough but my god did the broth make up for it. The grit at the bottom of the bowl makes me think either niboshi, or ground bones were added, but damn it was good.

If it’s your first time trying authentic Hakata-style ramen, this will be a different kind of adventure. Be prepared to adjust your expectations—it’s not your usual ramen. The broth is rich, even creamy, with a flavor that borders on salty but still enjoyable. The noodles are firm, just the way I like them, and the egg was particularly tasty. The broth wasn’t exactly what I expected—it was heavier and richer, but not in a bad way. I don’t think it needs to be watered down, though it could be nicely balanced with a side of gyoza or fried rice. Many people say this is the number one Hakata ramen spot, and I agree. For me, it wasn’t love at first bite—maybe second or third—but the appeal grew on me. It has a certain charm. I wanted to savor it, but I felt rushed—maybe by the pace of the place or the pressure to eat quickly. I’m not sure. I just wish I had more time to really enjoy it.

5 stars because Food- i like the broth. it has a unique smell and taste that either you like it or you hate it. So before entering. Take a deep breath. Like it, then spend and eat with no regrets. 😜 Service - this is not a high class restaurant. This is a smallish business place. Everything has to run like clockwise. So 1. Expect a q. 2. Respect the system. 3. Enjoy the food. (Ramen best to be eaten fast and hot). Its a benefit to know Japanese. When in doubt use google translate to help you. Then you will be fine. I rate 5 star here because i waited only 20 min from q to eat. I am happy. Atmosphere- clean and neat. Functional. I like Additional personal comment- maybe the price is pricier compared to other food. But i feel it is worth it because if the labour cost and food cost. Done- this is a must eat. 😌

My last taste of bills was a cherished memory from Australia, over ten years ago. In all that time, I never forgot the sheer comfort of their famously fluffy pancakes and those incredible corn fritters. Visiting bills Fukuoka felt like a long-awaited homecoming. Naturally, I had to order the exact same classics that stole my heart a decade prior. The cloud-like pancakes and the corn fritters tasted just as phenomenal. It was incredibly satisfying to find the quality perfectly consistent after all this time. That iconic bills taste was wonderfully, reassuringly familiar. Yes, we did queue for about 20 minutes on a busy morning but it was absolutely worth the wait. The anticipation only made that bite of pancake even sweeter. The atmosphere was buzzing but welcoming, and the service was efficient once seated.

I had Bills once when visiting Sydney in 2018. I liked it a lot. It was a pleasant surprise to know that there is Bills in Fukuoka. I told my husband that I wanted to try Bills in Japan, so we came for breakfast on an early Saturday morning. We got seated immediately without a reservation. The restaurant is beautiful, stylish with comfy seatings and relaxing vibe. We ordered the Ricotta hotcake, avocado with toasted Pain Stock sourdough, Yame matcha latte and koji milk spiced chai tea. Everything was absolutely amazing. I appreciated that our server told us in advance there would be a 20 minutes wait for the hotcake. Service was attentive and friendly. Highly recommended.

It’s not easy to find a restaurant where you may enjoy a full yummy breakfast and good quality coffee. In Japan, you may find good coffee, but they don’t serve full breakfast at the same time. So happy to dine in Bills where I get all I want. Good quality of everything.

Servers asked for allergy and missed it in food- forgot about the drink we ordered as well. Usually a little more lenient but had high expectations as the food was super expensive. Portion size and quality of food did not justify prices. All drinks were above 1000 yen as well- everything was so expensive but nothing lived up to expectations the price. We got the ricotta hot cakes which were raved about and the fresh Aussie plate with the sourdough and some garlic mushrooms. I am lactose intolerant and the bread had butter on it and the mushrooms were greasily soaked in butter. Everything had cilantro on it as well, but was not listed in the menu. The butter was also not listed in anyway on the menu about the mushrooms. Overall a disappointing visit and would never go back again.

Probably the best breakfast place I’ve found in all of Fukuoka after living here for 3 years. The pancakes are amazing. Fluffy. Got a full banana tucked underneath them to rest peacefully before it enters my mouth. The smoothie was great. The Aussie plate was a beast. Lots of food too. Japan often times has small portions. This had me full. Definately pricier than other places but it’s worth it. S’good!

Came here for the hype. When we arrived there’s a short queue. Waited for 5 minutes for a table. Friendly service by the wait staff. Ordered avocado toast and also their famous fluffy pancakes with banana. 20 minutes wait for the pancakes. To be honest for the exorbitant price, food didn’t taste great. Just mediocre at best. 950yen for a cup of latte. Ridiculous. Tourist trap place.

Outstanding! The best pancakes I’ve ever had - worth every penny! The pancakes are larger and more filling than they look in photos, but you’ll still be left craving more. The latte was super good, and the full Aussie breakfast was phenomenal. The two plates together are a perfect balance between savory and sweet. We make another reservation before we left :)

The food is good, especially the chicken, chicken skin and tofu. But I don’t like the half raw chicken personally.

friendly, fast, tasty yakitori 🍢

Best chicken skin ever! Nice staff! Affordable price!

We taste everything here, they were so delicious, and price was very cheap. Those staffs were wonderful

Nice flavour and service, you need to try the checken skin! It's amazing!

Really delicious stuff and super fast service while not rushing you.

It's always good. Chicken skin + beer is heaven.

Came on a Wednesday night - due to state of emergency the place was empty. Searched for yakitori on Google maps and it led me here but It's more of a izakaya to me as it has many other items than yakitori such as sashimi and other fish dishes. Food was ok and the service was good but place was showing its age. Found it slightly pricey for what you get. If your hunting a decent yakitori would say keep looking

Very busy place, but fantastic yakitori. Just order the set or "omakase" and you will get a great surprise. I usually don't like inner parts of chicken but here, I changed my mind...!

Do not go to this place if you are from out of town. We came to this place on a recommendation and showed up only to be told they were full. There were 10 places at the counter we could see. They clearly hate tourists. Very disappointed.

A Yakitori restaurant that’s been running for a long time. It’s been always good and still very good. Reasonably priced too.

We really enjoyed this yakitori restaurant. When we were there, everyone (or at least most people) were locals, which is a good sign. Decent selection of grilled meats cooked in front of you. Busy with a lively atmosphere.

Booked this place as it use to be a Bib Gourmad recommentation. Very busy on a Sunday night with a lot of japanese locals. Staff quite friendly and had english menu. Shame the yakitori isn't cooked over a hibachi grill, but the food still tasted great and there was a lot of variety of chicken/beef and seafood izakaya dishes as well Bit on the pricey side, however after paying we realise they had some set menu's on the wall, but it was all in japanese. Overall a great yakitori joint to check out if your staying in Nakasu area (around 10min walk). Spent around 7000Y for drinks and approx 15 yakitori sticks.

Skewers here were great, the stand out was the liver. The intestines were also very good and tender. The service was very nice, the sashimi chef I believe spoke some English and conversed with us for a bit.

This is so far the best meal I had here in Fukuoka. I ordered the Motsunabe (Offal Hotpot) and it tastes so good. The serving size is also big. The staff are very accommodating as well.

Definitely get the miso broth as they recommend. The broth is deep and rich flavored. The cabbage is refreshing and delicious as they were slowly soaking up the broth as you cook your hotpot.

Never expected horse meat to be so delicious but the unique combo of stock, soup and ingredients made it an unforgettable experience. Will be back!

Signature food from Fukuoka and the fragrance of the beef intestine is very good. Staff is patient in taking orders and assisting customers. And food were served in big servings. Recommended

Had lunch there at around 2pm, was seated quite promptly by the friendly staff there. Ordered the Ooyama set for 1 pax along with a side of horse sashimi and drinks to share with my partner, total price came up to be around 6,000 yen. Enjoyed the meal a lot, especially the soup which was very hearty. Definitely recommend trying it if you have the chance and are okay with motsu. Horse sashimi was good as well, especially when coupled with the Kyushu soy sauce provided by the store.

This is my second time to eat my lovely Nabe & Peace!! Love the vibe, service and food!! So good.

I love the beef offal. Especially the meat and the soup! Oishi... 😋

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on my way home from shopping at Iwataya. Perhaps because it was during summer vacation, there were surprisingly few customers, so I was able to enjoy my meal at a leisurely pace. We had the dinner course, which included sashimi, mozuku, chawanmushi, red soup stock, and sushi for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious. (Original) 岩田屋での買い物帰りに寄りました。夏休み中のせいか、意外とお客さんが少なくゆっくり頂くことが出来ました。 ディナーコースというお刺身、もずく、茶碗蒸し、赤だし、デザートにお寿司がついたものをいただきました。 どれも無難に美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) Lunch Course B: ¥5,060 The combination of fatty tuna with soy sauce and garlic is superb. Each sushi topping is perfectly seasoned. The nine pieces are satisfying, of course, but you'll want more and more. (Original) ランチBコース5,060円 大トロに醤油ニンニクの組み合わせが最高。 どのネタもそれぞれにぴったりの味付け。 9貫の満足度はもちろん高いけど、もっともっと食べたくなる。

(Translated by Google) We were originally going to eat at Xu Xuyuan and temporarily changed to sushi. We ordered the 5390 and 2670 noon sushi set meals respectively. We felt that the fish quality of the former was very high. If we have a budget, we recommend ordering the special set meal with sea urchin and salmon roe. (Original) 我們本來要吃敘敘苑臨時改變吃壽司，分別點了5390跟2670的中午壽司定食，覺得前者魚鮮等級很高，建議預算夠還是點特級有海膽和鮭魚卵的定食。

(Translated by Google) Shops I don't want to tell you about, Fukuoka edition. I think my favorite restaurants are all places where the food I didn't like turned out to be delicious and turned into my favorite food. The Inari-san, rolled sushi, mackerel sushi, and shrimp pressed sushi here are the best. Even though I didn't like Inari-san, the balance between the sweet taste and the wasabi here was perfect. It's a little sweet for an Inari shrine, so I can't recommend it if you don't like sweets 😂 This can be taken out, so I take it home with me. It's always crowded at lunchtime. It's super popular. As everyone has written, I've never had it made at the counter, so I don't know, but the taste is really great. Excellent freshness. Ever since I was little, I've only ever been to sushi restaurants that I didn't go to (I'm guessing there wasn't any sushi that I went to when I was little), but I've never been to a sushi restaurant like Edomae sushi where the flavors are matched to the ingredients. I haven't had it before, so it's very fresh and I like it. Moreover, it's not super expensive, so I recommend this restaurant within the price range where you can easily go for sushi! My feeling is 4.5 stars! (Original) 教えたくないお店、福岡編。 わたしがお気に入りのお店は、自分の好きでなかったものが美味しくて、好きな食べ物に変わったという所ばかりだと思います。 ここのお稲荷さんと巻き寿司、鯖寿司に海老の押し寿司、最高です。 お稲荷さんが好きではなかったのに、ここの甘めの味とワサビのバランスが絶妙。 お稲荷さんにしては甘めなので、甘いのが好きでなければおススメできないです😂 これはテイクアウトできるので、お持ち帰りしてます。 いつも昼時は混んでます。超人気です。 みなさんが書いてあったようにカウンターで握ってもらったことはないので、わからないのですが、味はほんと最高。 鮮度も抜群。 小さい頃から回らない寿司屋さん（わたしが小さい頃に回る寿司はなかった説）にしか行ったことがなかったですが、江戸前寿司のように素材に合わせて味がついてるのお寿司屋さんなんてなかったので、とても新鮮で、お気に入りです。 しかもすっごい高いわけではないので、お寿司として気軽に行ける価格帯の中でこのお店はおススメです！ 気持ちは星4.5です！

(Translated by Google) I visited you for lunch✨ There was a line so I waited for a while. My favorite sushi restaurant ever! Sea urchin and salmon roe cocktail🍸My favorite😋 The atmosphere inside the store is 3 stars compared to the main store, but the location is good for lunch while shopping! (Original) ランチでお邪魔しました✨ 並んでいたので少し待ちました。 昔から好きなお寿司やさん！ うにとイクラのカクテル🍸お気に入りです😋 店内の雰囲気は本店と比べると星３つですが、買い物途中のランチへ立地はいいです！

(Translated by Google) Dinner for two to celebrate silver wedding anniversary It was a very memorable and delicious meal. If it was a little more filling and cheaper, I would give it 5 stars. The taste is great as it is expensive. I was able to make a reservation for lunch as well. There is a long line on holidays, so it's best to make a reservation. (Original) 銀婚式のお祝いに二人で食事 記念になるとても美味しい食事でした。 もう少し量が多くて、もうし安ければ星５です。 味は高いだけあって最高です。 ランチも予約できました。 お休みの日は行列ができているので、予約が吉です。

(Translated by Google) Whenever I come to Iwataya, I always go to Tatsumi Sushi. I like to add inari to the A course. The staff are also nice. There is a line at lunchtime, so if you go around 2pm you can get in right away. (Original) いつも岩田屋に来たらたつみ寿司に行きます。Aコースにいなりを追加するのがお気に入り。店員さんも感じ良い。お昼時は並ぶので14時ごろに行くとすぐ入れます。

We found this place thanks to a Google Maps suggestion for good restaurants near our hotel. It turned out to be a hidden gem tucked behind a gyoza shop — to get to Yorgo, you actually have to walk through the gyoza restaurant. We walked in without a reservation and were lucky to get a table, as the place was packed. If you’re going with a larger group, it’s probably best to make a reservation in advance. The kitchen is open and located at the center, with diners seated around the counter, watching the chefs prepare each dish. The food was exceptional, the service warm and attentive, and the wine selection excellent. The restaurant also had thoughtful touches like wall hooks for coats and storage space under the counter for bags. We were pleasantly surprised to find power outlets under the table — a rare convenience for charging phones. The only thing that left us slightly puzzled was the portioning. We clearly ordered one plate per dish, but most of them arrived as two plates. Only two or three dishes were presented as a single plate at first — presumably so we could take photos — before being split into two. At first, we thought about checking with the staff, but the food was so delicious that we told ourselves, “Even if it was a mix-up, it’s worth it.” It’s rare to enjoy French cuisine this refined in Japan.

Good food but terrible hygiene. First off, the food is pretty decent. We really enjoyed the cutlet steak (super tender) and the uni shredded potato. HOWEVER, the hygiene of the chefs ruined the meal for us. It is an open concept kitchen where there is bar seating around the stoves in the middle, and the chefs serve you. There were MULTIPLE instances where the chefs used a spoon to sample the taste, and then put the spoon away without washing or rinsing it. They would then reuse that same spoon to sample other dishes before serving it to customers. If a bit of extra flavour from a stranger’s saliva doesn’t bother you, then this restaurant is the place for you!

One of the best meals I had in Japan. The gyukatsu is a must! Good local wine, vibrant atmosphere. Don’t miss it when in Fukuoka

I go to this restaurant since they opened many years ago. I’ve never been disappointed. Opened kitchen, the food is tasty, all made in front of you like a show. Every ingredients are fresh, the dishes are generous and originals. Good selection of wines too. The staff and the owner are very professional and friendly at the same time. Great experience every time, so I highly recommended this place.

One of the best creative cuisine.

The best.

It wasn't as delicious as it looked

Atmosphere and service are wonderful. I had thought the menu may have too much meat and heavy before, but I found the portion to be perfect and the meats have distinct characters and flavors, so I enjoyed every dishes finally.

The wagyu dishes were excellent, and every dishes were pieces of art. The staff were caring and observing, making the whole dining experience was just amazing. Will definitely recommend to my friends.

This is my third time back to this restaurant and everything is still as good as our first experience! Good meat, good environment, good service. We will be back again!

Yakiniku Sudo serves A5 Black Wagyu beef at a semi-private seating at each table. A staff will be grilling the full set menu for customers. The misuji (ribeye cap) is cut into 8–10 mm slices with visible marbling; 20–30 seconds per side produces a seared crust while the interior fat liquifies. The tongue is sliced to 1 mm and cooks in 10–12 seconds, yielding a crisp edge and tender center. Kalbi and harami are trimmed of excess connective tissue and served at 4–6 °C to maintain fat firmness until grilling. Staff replace grill meshes after every two rounds of meat, replenish charcoal every 15 minutes, and adjust ventilation as needed. Servers demonstrate sukiyaki egg preparation and provide tare, lemon, and salt on request within 60 seconds. Banchan include cucumber kimchi, braised lotus root, and spinach with sesame; a yuzu sorbet is offered as a palate cleanser. Portion sizes, cut quality, and service timing are consistent across visits. Prices reflect reasonably on customer service level and beef quality.

Messy staff communication with customer. We arrived at the restaurant, and the staff informed us about a campaign offering a free drink. We kept asking for details about the campaign, and the staff answered all our questions. After completing the required task, we proceeded to pay the bill. However, the staff did not mention anything about the free drink. It was only after we checked the bill that we noticed the drink wasn't comped. When we asked, they told us the campaign had already ended. It felt like they were tricking customers into leaving reviews. This instantly left a very bad impression. (On a side note, the staff who served us during the meal was very nice, and the food quality was quite good.) Unfortunately, the overall experience was greatly spoiled in the end. My disappointment stems entirely from the staff's misleading practice, not the value of a free drink.

This is the set for 16500 yen. The beef does not taste very good and I believe it is largely due to the sauce. Each of the pieces was paired with some sauce but I have to say most of them do not match too well. Have had better experience with this price. This restaurant is 3.98 on tabelog so we are quite surprised.

It seems that good reviews have led to the owners of the restaurant taking off a bit. You can't visit the restaurant alone - so all soloists: please make a reservation and take a homeless person with you. I find it negative when individual customers are not appreciated - hence this one star. I can't judge the taste. I went to NIKUMARU, a few doors down. They are more relaxed and the food there is excellent.

The queue is always long here, so be prepared to wait—but it’s worth it! Best time to go is between 2–5pm when it’s quieter. The noodles are the thin kind and super tasty. The soup is rich, thick, and flavorful—though a bit on the salty side for my taste. English menu available, which makes ordering easy. Overall, a great spot for ramen lovers!

Excellent Ramen shop where many locals go to as well. Don‘t be afraid of a long queue, we has to wait only 20 minutes for a queue of roughly 40 people. This seems to be the only ShinShin open during lunch, as all the other branches only open at dinnertime.

Best Hakata ramen! Only $820Yen for a standard ramen and you get to choose the softness of the noddle. Love my soft and very thin noodle. Soup is rich but not oily or salty at all. Will definitely come back again!

We first tried to visit the Tenjin branch (the one not inside the mall) on a Saturday around 1:30 PM, but the line was crazy—about an hour-long wait under the heat. Thankfully, we found out there’s another Shin Shin branch inside Parco Mall just nearby, and the queue there was much more manageable—only about a 20-minute wait for two people. I’m not usually a big fan of ramen, but I really enjoyed Shin Shin’s version. It’s lighter and less creamy compared to Ichiran, which I personally prefer. One thing to note: unlike Ichiran, you order through the staff and there’s no option to customize your broth or noodles. But honestly, it wasn’t a dealbreaker for me. Oh—and don’t skip the fried rice, it’s really good :) Definitely worth trying if you’re in Fukuoka, especially since you can only find Shin Shin Ramen here!

It takes a little effort to find this shop. It’s located at B1F of Parco 本館, not the other Parco 新館. From the reviews, it should be crowded. Perhaps I was fortunate as there was no queue on a Monday evening. It’s really salty, it’s very flavourful and has a strong soup based from tonkotsu. I can understand why diners love it for its strong yet very salty base. I could not finish the soup. The stir fried rice was also really salty, combining it with the soup made it doubly salty in my opinion. I saw some lady diners managed to finish the ramen and the rice, but left the soup almost untouched. Perhaps it’s meant to be this way, for the soup to coat the ramen.. because I saw someone who drank much of the soup said it was so salty they had to drink a lot of water to feel better. The best thing I had here was the stir fried ramen with mentaiko which I ordered for takeout which was recommended by the staff. Surprisingly, it wasn’t salty and tasted just perfect and moist. Again the noodle was really good. I also really enjoyed the service of the staff of this shop. It was really very pleasant experience because they were attentive and cheerful, especially staff by the name of 赤星. She is a young staff but really bothered to listen to customers and bothers to smile. She also speaks some English which is helpful though ordering process is simple. The atmosphere and process was also good because the staff take the orders, unlike other ramen shops where they use machines instead, which is a major turn off in terms of service element. I hope the restaurant continues to improve and take feedback from customers to make it better.

Taste good, it's clean broth style, I like it, not too salty, just on point. Luckily we visited after the peak hours, no line and no wait at 3pm. Price is reasonable, staff service is standard.

The line looked intimidating because it wrapped around the corner, but the wait was only ~30 minutes on a Sunday during lunch time. There are also stools to make the wait more bearable. The Zenbu-Nose Ramen 全部のせらーめん Firm (¥1110) was very good. I do not gravitate toward ramen when it comes to Japanese cuisine, but I liked this ramen. The meat had an interesting, subtle sweetness to it that I liked, and the broth was not overly salty like other ramens that I have had.

The motsunabe is tasty but you have to like offal to really enjoy the meal. I ordered the beef offal set The service is fast and good. This restaurant is recommendable.

It was our first time trying beef motsunabe and it was delicious! It’s not too oily and we enjoyed the taste very much! The service was so lovely and staff are friendly. I would recommend to try in this restaurant!

Pleasantly surprised how delicious offal pot is! As this was our first time in Fukuoka, we wanted to give offal pot a try but had no expectations on how it would taste like. A single serving plus an extra order of meat was just the right amount to keep us full (we are light eaters). The staff are extremely nice and offered to take a picture of us after bringing the pot over. This seems to be a service for everyone who comes! Overall, great experience and nice calm atmosphere!

Since it was our first visit to Fukuoka, we really wanted to try the famous motsunabe hotpot and see what the hype was about. We didn’t quite know what to expect, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise! One serving, along with an extra order of tofu and a bowl of rice, was just enough to fill us up (we’re light eaters). The staff were incredibly kind and even offered to take a photo of us once the hotpot was served, it seems like they do this for everyone, which is such a nice touch! Overall, a wonderful dining experience with a cozy and relaxing atmosphere.

best thing i ate in fukuoka.. especially if you like offal.. add the champion noodles! i made a reservation online the day before for a saturday night. it was quiet at 6pm, but quickly filled up by 7pm.

I don’t post very much, but I believe they deserve the post. Hands down. Motsunabe course menu is DELICIOUS! I don’t know how they made even the chives and cabbage taste so good. The tofu at the end was also delicate and flavorful. Food 5/5 The staff are very kind and take the time to explain the food and help cook it to perfection. Service 5/5 Located within the BLOSSOM PREMIER, the vines are very jazz hotel lobby music, with a modern interior. Atmosphere 5/5 Will come back? Absolutely.

The food was delicious and the service was very friendly and helpful! This was the first time my husband and I have been to Fukuoka and it was our first time trying motsunabe. The staff helped us order and made sure it was cooked well. Definitely would recommend giving it a try!

Absolutely GOATED. In my top 3 sushi places of all time. Incredible. Raw lobster sashimi is so fresh, after you're done, they give you lobster miso soup. Many sushi sets available where they sear it a bit and other sets where they add a special salt. Hokkaido uni was incredible and the shoyu stew sea bream was so good. 10/10 would recommend!

(Translated by Google) A sushi restaurant located next to Kashii Shrine. I had lunch on my way home from work. The shop was crowded from noon, so I was forced to go to the counter for a while. Authentic sushi made by a cheerful chef. Salt sushi was also recommended. I recommend it because it's hard to eat sushi with salt. Both the soy sauce and salt were difficult to put on. I had a fun chat with the general and had him show me his skills, so I was very satisfied. I want to go again. (Original) 香椎神宮横に位置するお寿司屋さん。仕事の帰りにランチをいただきました。お店はお昼から混んでおり、ちょっとまちカウンターに通されました。ほがらかな大将がにぎる本格的なお寿司。塩のお寿司もおすすめされました。お塩で食べるお寿司はなかなか食べれないのでおすすめします。醤油、塩どちらも甲乙つけ難かったです。大将と楽しいお話をし、技もみせていただき、とても満足しました。また行きたいです。

(Translated by Google) All the seafood was fresh and delicious. However, the sushi was already seasoned with salt and soy sauce, and as a soy sauce lover, I wanted to add the soy sauce myself. The price was quite reasonable, so I thought it would be a relaxing place for adults only, but then a group of customers with small children came next to us and started yelling a lot, which ruined the atmosphere a bit, which was disappointing. (Original) 魚介類は全て新鮮で美味しかったです。ただお寿司にすでにお塩やお醤油がかかっていて、お醤油好きの私としては、自分でお醤油をつけて食べたい…と思ってしまいました。 結構良いお値段な所なので、大人しか来ない落ち着いて食事が出来る所だろうと思っていたら、隣に小さな子供連れのお客さんが来て、かなりギャーギャー喚いていたので、ちょっと雰囲気台無しで残念でした。

Solid swanky sushi spot. Had a great time learning about the foods in our omakase with the young head chef/owner (and all the food names in DBZ lmao). Sake and wine selection was delicious. We were able to try a wine from Kumamoto that was not on the menu. A standout dish was the Korean saba (chosen for being oilier and denser compared to its Japanese counterpart) smoked with Japanese walnut, as well as the use of aged Chinese vinegar for the sushi rice (made to complement the firmer fish style used in Fukuoka). I enjoyed the well thought out dishes and experience.

Truly impressed me with its incredibly fresh ingredients and the owner’s evident passion for authentic cuisine. Every dish reflects meticulous care and attention to detail. The sashimi is pristine, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The owner’s dedication to traditional preparation methods really shows. just hope business continues to flourish .

Food is delicious, nice environment and very convenience location which is next to Akasaka subway station west exit 2, then walk less than a min. Also, one of the chef can speak mandarin. Highly recommend to who would like omakase

Went for a lunch Omakase course(booked in advanced). Even tho it was quite far away from my accommodation, I really wanted to try not only reviews looked great but also rather than waiting long time in popular sushi shop in Hakata station. Interior wise, it was really neat and fancy, however it seemed staff didn’t plan where to assign one person for seating. I’ve got a counter seat in front of beautiful salt decoration however chefs seemed not happy and confused why am I occupying this seat. Eventually moved to end of counter seat which I got uncomfortable feeling as well despite not even started the course. But staff were kind. Move onto the food part, entree, sushi courses, and dessert were fabulous. Sushi chef tried to explain in Korean as much as he could and sushi itself had good enough amount of rice, nice tare soy on top, and good quality of fish fillets were served. Dessert was almond pudding and it was delicious that I’ve never tried before. Worth to visit if your accommodation is not too far and looking for quiet, neat and good quality of sushi.

Too good…. I’ve done a lot of research about the most rated value for money Omakase in Hakata and I’m glad this did not disappoint Give this a try!

I had a fantastic experience at this sushi restaurant. The quality of the fish is outstanding, you can tell it's super fresh. Every single dish we ordered was perfect. What truly made our visit special was the staff; they were so friendly and attentive. Great food, great service!

Friendly and relax atmosphere. Staff are very nice and helpful. He can speak some putonghua and introduce the dishes for us.

Atsuage Kurobuta roast-katsu zen is superb. Katsu is tender and juicy with the right amount of fat to meat ratio. White rice is fluffy and goes very well with the katsu. Only downside is the cabbage which isn’t as juicy and refreshing.

I was really skeptical before dining as the reviews were mixed. Came at 445pm and there’s still a queue. Waited for about 30 mins for the table and 20 mins for food. Theres plenty of empty seats but not enough staff to clear the tables and move the queue. There’s also 150 yen difference between English menu and Japanese menu. So we referred to the Japanese menu. The meat was surprisingly tender and melt in your mouth. Wasn’t expecting the tenderness. Worth the experience if you don’t mind waiting. Come early! And by 8pm all the queue slots would have been snapped up

I give this restaurant 5 out of 5 stars. I ordered menu 1, the classic pork loin tonkatsu set. The cutlet itself is outstanding. The coating is very crisp and light, but not hard, and the meat inside is juicy, tender and full of clean pork flavour. There is a gentle richness from the fat, but it never becomes heavy. This is the kind of tonkatsu that reminds you why this dish can be a favourite for years. What makes the meal truly special is everything that comes with it and the way you are guided to eat it. You receive a bowl with sesame seeds and a small wooden pestle. Grinding the sesame at the table already smells wonderful. When you mix these freshly ground seeds with the house Japanese Wafu sauce, you get a deep, nutty and slightly fruity tonkatsu sauce that clings perfectly to the meat. Add a little of the sharp yellow mustard horseradish and the flavour opens up even more. One bite of pork with this sesame Wafu sauce and mustard already feels very complete. The cabbage salad on the side is very finely shredded and extremely fresh. It gives crunch and lightness to every bite. I used the yuzu dressing for the cabbage. This dressing has a bright citrus aroma, gentle acidity and a little sweetness, so it cuts through the richness of the pork and keeps the meal balanced. Rice and miso soup complete the set. The rice is glossy, sticky in the right way and seasoned just enough by the sauces you let drip onto it. The miso soup is on the darker side, pleasantly salty, with a comforting depth rather than just plain broth. There are also Japanese pickles and grated daikon on the table. The pickles bring a classic sour and salty contrast. Even if you do not eat many of them, they show how carefully the set is put together. The grated daikon works beautifully with the sauces and with the pork if you want a fresher, lighter bite. The variety of condiments on the table lets you create many different versions of tonkatsu during one meal, from rich and sweet to bright and sharp, and all of them work. The atmosphere is warm and cosy with dark wood tables and all the bottles and small pots arranged in front of you. It feels like a place that takes tonkatsu very seriously but still stays relaxed. The staff are incredibly efficient and kind at the same time. Tables are cleaned and reset almost immediately, orders move from kitchen to guests with impressive speed, and still the servers remain attentive and friendly. You can feel that the whole team knows exactly what they are doing. This meal reminded me why tonkatsu used to be my absolute favourite food and it brought that feeling back completely. Perfectly fried meat, carefully chosen sauces, fresh sides and a very professional but warm service. For anyone who loves tonkatsu or wants to understand how good it can be, this restaurant is an essential visit.

Absolutely worth the wait! Although the queue usually takes around an hour, I was lucky to get a seat within 20 minutes. The tonkatsu was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside — one of the best I’ve ever had in Japan. Definitely recommended for anyone who loves authentic tonkatsu!

The Tonkatsu served here is absolutely delicious, the pork cutlet is cooked just right retaining the softness and juiciness on the inside with a light crispy batter on the outside 😋 You must try this if you are in Kumamoto!

So good that we didn't even take pictures. Free tea refills (there's a carafe at your table). Free Cabbage, miso, and rice refills. The tenderloin donkatsu was the best since we liked the leaner cut and more meat. The yuzu sherbert was really refreshing and Fruity, pretty icy tho. My boyfriend liked the black sesame ice cream because it was so creamy and reminded him of oreo ice cream. They were extremely busy and were a bit slow with us due to the heavy flow of patrons. But overall it was great service and lots of English menu options and speakers. Making the sauce was fun the Japanese style

Whilst i’m not a Tonkatsu person, this has got to be the best i’ve ever eaten so far. The selection of condiments and sauces that pairs super well with the katsu is amazing, it’s having a totally different taste profile unlock every single bite. I went early dinner, so there wasn’t much of a queue, but it does take awhile after being seated for the main to arrive - but was it worth the wait? Totally! Definitely will return whenever i’m back in Kumamoto!

Start by taking a queue number at the reception. Then line up to select your order from the machines. Make payment there. Wait till your number is called by the reception prior to handing your meal tickets to them. This will be followed by getting timers from them and collecting your food. Followed the number indicated to head to the steamer area. Staff will hand you protective gear to insert the food into the steamer. When the timer rings, head back to collect the food. Extra costs for different types of sauces. Yuzu pepper sauce tasted good. Free seating. Credit card allowed. Free parking

Awesome unique experience. Glad i was there with few people, so when i arrived i was able.to order immediately. To my rush, i ordered a meal for 2 :( Steamed foods are fresh and taste good. My only critique is that eventhough i don't order meal with shrimp. It tasted and smells like shrimp. But overall i had fun experience here

Food was ok but the waiting time was long. First, you get a queue number. Then you order you food on the ticket machine. And you wait for you queue to be called. While purchasing the food, you need to purchase the mandatory basket for steaming 🤔. When your number is called, you present your food tickets and collect your food. Then proceed to the steam counters to have your food steam for 15 mins. Limited parking lots available and there isn't any paid parking nearby. For the novelty of steaming your own food, ok la. Otherwise, there's better food options around the area. 😉

That sounds like such a unique and fun dining experience! A restaurant where you can steam your own food using hot spring water is definitely something special. It combines the joy of cooking with the excitement of trying something new. The process of ordering from ahř⁶ vending machine, collecting your food, and then steaming it yourself adds a personal touch to the meal

Came on Sunday and parking was difficult. We made many turns and finally saw some people leaving the parking. We had to take a number which is 90mins wait. With that, we can order our meals and wait for our turn to collect food for steaming. I find the food alright. Prawns seemed over cooked.

Enjoyed this place where you can steam your own food with the geothermal steam from the hot spring. Just purchase the meal coupons (I ordered set 2 and 17) and a ¥40 steaming fee coupon from the vending machine and get a number from the reception. When your number is called, pass your meal coupons to the counter and they will prepare the ingredients for you. It’s free-seating so after securing your seat, you bring your tray of ingredients to the steaming area according to the number on the timer provided. There, the staff will guide you through the process of wearing thick gloves and steaming your food for about 15 mins. They provide salt and ponzu as complimentary condiments but if you prefer other condiments like sesame sauce, you’ll need to add additional ¥200 per sauce.

Love the steamed food here despite expecting the place to be gimmicky & mid, experience is definitely fun & interesting for visitors. Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to try their cheese fondue (16)!

The restaurant is conveniently located near the metro stations and is very spacious with a pleasant atmosphere. The Motsunabe was delicious; we found the flavors of the beef offal to be rich, especially the fats, and it paired well with the miso soup. Overall, it was a very good dining experience, and we would definitely recommend it to those who want to try Motsunabe in Hakata.

"Yamanaka" is the birthplace of miso-flavored Motsu-nabe in FUKUOKA. 3 minutes walk from Akasaka Station! Luxury space like a high-class hotel. Available to choose from 3 kinds of Motsu- nabe taste, but please don't hesitate to choose the miso flavor. You won't regret it! Reservations are essential!

Incredible miso based motsunabe!!! No wonder the restaurant called it a secret recipe through trial and error, as it was absolutely addictive and delicious. I could have it every week especially in the winter! Their plate of vegetables, especially the soft boiled tofu, were very tasty when blended with the soup. I also ordered their Boiled Tongue and Stewed Daikon. Again, it was stewed in the restaurant’s secret miso recipe, and the tenderness of the beef tongue was heavenly! This is one of my favourite restaurants in Fukuoka and I would definitely return next time!!

Very fancy and a bit upscale for a motsunabe place, but the soup is very very tasty. We tried the miso base, and would love to try the other two next time.

It may feel a little upscale for motsunabe but yes, definitely worth it for the foods, service, and ambiance here. The udon at the end to the nabe broth was absolutely tasty.

Amazing hot pot restaurant! Learned about this place from a travel blogger, and was not disappointed. The hot pot is a little on the pricey side, but it's absolutely worth it. We had the miso base and loved it. The miso is the classic and most recommend base to get, but there are a few other options. The atmosphere of the restaurant is quite lovely and the staff was very friendly and nice :)

This Motsu-nabe store is so good !! Make sure you have at least 2 persons coming to the restaurant and booking is preferred For walk-in, the meal time is normally limited to 1 hour and some waiting time is expected.

Ordered the cold udon. Chewy and al dente. Delicious with the dipping sauce. Had the beef topping which I thoroughly enjoyed - thin tender succulent braised beef slices topped with lots of green onions. I added some yuzu kosho- wow!!! The burdock tempura was a slight let down. Crispy but oily. Overall I had a fantastic meal for JPY 800. There was an older lady behind the counter who was absolutely cheerful and welcoming. She might be the owner?

Arrived 20 minutes before opening and got in right away. Had the meat with burdock tempura udon - absolutely outstanding for taste and price. The staff were very helpful once they discovered I could speak Japanese and helped me get in quickly (not skipping the line, just the machine). Loved to see the kitchen staff working to push the food out quickly. Would definitely come here again.

Possibly the best udon period in Fukuoka. I had the cold udon. Nothing will ever beat the taste and texture!!! Even my wife agreed. Must go when you are in Fukuoka.

Yummy! We got there at 11am when the restaurant open and got a seat right away (but there was a line before it opened). The tempura burdock was delicious! Highlight is definitely the soft and chewy fresh udon!

This udon place was recommended to me by a local so I gave it a try. They're only open from 11am-3pm. The line to get in can get long, but it moves fast. After being seated, they took my order and wait time was about 10 minutes. Serving was big so I was not able to finish it all. The udon noodles were cooked just right. Soup was a bit bland for my liking (I got the egg drop soup with beef and burdock tempura).

I arrived in front of the restaurant about 10 minutes after it opened. There were about 7 people waiting in line. I waited about 15 minutes. The staff were nice. Fast service. Udon noodles are very good, chewy and soft, and this meal is cheap.

Great Fukuoka hand made udon, chewy and soft. Staffs were friendly.

Famous mentaiko specialist in the Nakasu area. Service is good and there is large indoor waiting area so you don’t have to queue outside in the heat. Went there during lunch time on a weekday and waited for less than 10 minutes Not sure if this qualifies as a ramen shop, but I ordered the mentaiko tsukemen; the noodles are chewy and slippery, and goes well with the mentaikao sauce. The pudding is also quite nice.

【Mentaiko Specialty Shop in Fukuoka Nakasu: Juicy Umami & Language-Friendly Gem】 During my trip to Fukuoka, I stumbled upon this "Must-Try List" restaurant tucked in an alley near Nakasu Kawabata Station 🍣. The moment I saw the wooden-framed lantern with "めんたい重" (Mentaiko Donburi) glowing, I knew I’d found a winner—it’s a mentaiko specialty shop, and even the paper lantern above the door exudes a warm, homey vibe 🍜. I went straight for their signature Mentaiko Donburi: served with crispy nori that shimmers, the mentaiko is coated in white sesame and green laver. One bite, and it’s a "pop" of juiciness—no overwhelming saltiness, just rich umami balanced with a hint of natural sweetness. The granular texture coats your tongue, and even the tiny nori crumbs pack a savory punch. That said, I found the flavor a bit bold and salty, so pairing it with rice is a must 🍚. I also added a bowl of Mentaiko Ramen on a whim: the broth is rich and savory, and slurping the thin noodles coated in broth offers a different texture than the donburi—creamy vs. hearty. No wonder this shop has been around in Nakasu for 10 years; it clearly hits the spot for locals 👅. 📒 Practical Tips: 1. We got a table right away when we walked in—no wait time for us! 2. They have Chinese menus, so you can just point to what you want. No Japanese needed—perfect for introverts or language learners. 3. For the Mentaiko Donburi, add an extra serving of nori flakes—it doubles the crunch! Highly recommend for mentaiko lovers exploring Nakasu. It’s a no-fuss spot with authentic flavors and zero language stress—exactly what you need when wandering around Fukuoka!

Love the interior design. We came at 9pm on a Sunday, no line up. Very friendly staff. We ordered everything on the menu. The mentaijko was amazing, huge fan. The tsukemen is a close second. Both were fantastic. Loved also adding the broth in the end to finish it off as a soup. The pudding is legendary. Basically a caramel jelly panna cotta.

Really good !!! Will come again Simple menu with mentaiko don and soup together with a mentaiko tsukumen which was unheard of (at least to me ) Queueing is easy just grab a ticket before you start queueing !

The set was absolutely perfect. I normally don’t like mentaiko, but I have to admit it was really good here. everything just worked so well together and tasted amazing.

Must eat mentaiko in fukuokaaaaa. Glad I had it here because it’s so so good. Got the set with both the rice and tsukemen to try everything and that’s definitely the way to go! The tsukemen is rich and savoury with bouncy noodles but of course my favorite was the mentaiko rice with seaweed. So umami rich and well balanced throughout.

We arrived at 6pm and queued up for half an hour. The restaurant is well decorated and has a great ambiance! I ordered the rice box and a pudding, my partner ordered the udon and also two extra raw and roasted mentaiko. Based on personal preference and also compared to our previous experience, both of us find the mentaiko here is quite salty, so pairing with rice is a better way. Pudding is great!

Went with a friend. 2 of us ordered the same course meal for dinner. So some of the photos are portions for 2. We requested just a bit rice at the end as we were full :)

the sushi is really fresh, the only thing bad is that the squid was still moving in front of us it’s lowk scary and brutal (but its good) also u gona try the steak, it is really good

🐙🍜 Unveiling the Squid Magic at Kawataro Delights🍚🎏 🍱🎇 Last month's visit to Fukuoka led us to the unforgettable Kawataro, just a stone's throw from Canal City. This unique spot, adorned with charming kappa statues, offered us a dining experience like no other. Known for its live squid, we ventured to try the Kaisen Donburi with Goma Dare (Japanese sesame sauce) - a first for us. The sesame sauce unveiled a fresh, new taste to the seafood, truly elevating the dish. And the squid shumai? Absolutely a must-try. Additionally, dining next to a water pool with live squid swimming was quite satisfying, adding a serene touch to our meal. A delightful find for any food lover in Fukuoka. 🍴💫"

Kind but expensive. Employees are kind However I guess their system is customer so they can have faster turnover rate. not a good feeling for paying 4500 yen per person. Also the drink is 550 for everything. To me this was 3rd world cheap strategy. Shame on the owner Food and atmosphere is okay

Great vibes and the staff was super friendly. They were nice enough to walk us through their famous local cuisine. The live squid was absolutely delicious. You can try it by itself, with salt, and soy sauce. At the end, you have an option to grill or tempura the squid. The restaurant itself had a unique vibe. Lots of interesting pictures on the walls and very funny statue outside.

this is one of the most famous restaurants in Fukuoka. If you visit Fukuoka, you must visit there seriously. there are so many similar restaurants around squid cooking that don't be confused. And the best time to visit there is during lunch time that you can have lunch menu at reasonable price. It is good place to feel traditional atmosphere and eat comfortably.

We ordered the ¥7000 set menu. Seeing and eating the live squid is an experience but the squid does not have any taste. All other dishes are quite averaged and nothing special. Once is enough.

Good and quick ramen, authentic and for local workers. Lineup was very quick and efficient with the pre-order on the machine. Only one choice of ramen, select size and extra toppings and pay before entering. Choice of noodle cooking. Great atmosphere, definitely recommend as a quick ramen lunch stop.

Traditional Nagahama ramen that opens till late at night A bit far from the closest metro station; probably better to take a bus here

Savor Fukuoka’s authentic ramen: a steaming bowl of tonkotsu broth, tender noodles, and simple toppings. Not expensive Ramen heaven in every affordable slurp!

A taste of 1952! Tourists bros BEWARE: Do not come here expecting modern tasting ramen….it’s very old school recipe. My advice - utilize the pickled ginger, pepper, and sesame seeds to adjust the taste. Soup: very, very light (in a good way) - adjust with the pickled ginger, pepper, and sesame seeds to increase saltiness/flavour. Noodles: classic thin straight, you get a lot. Toppings: someone once told me, the less toppings, the more authentic it is for Nagahama style ramen, this was true here.

Nagahama-style tonkotsu ramen served in a very rustic atmosphere. Ramen has high cost-performance. Definitely lacking in depth compared to the usual tonkotsu, but serviceable for its low price of 550 yen and decent portion size. However, the location is far from usual foot traffic, so I would not recommend people to specifically go out to visit this place.

It is located in nagahama(長浜). It looks quite local restaurant. And fukuoka people usually visit here. It didn't anticipate the taste and quality. But, it was good ramen. The price is reasonable. So, when you go to the nagahama, you can enjoy hakata ramen here.

Simple ramen with loads of scallions and a little pork.

Fresh ingredient! Highly recommend. The best meal of my Fukuoka trip!

There is no shortage of dishes in choices. Portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable given the w i d e varieties of dishes this izakaya put on the menu. Feature is “live seafood” and diners are all treated at the entrance with there big blue aquarium. Can get live squid sashimi (tentacles still move) abalone too are crawling all over the plate. Another good appetizer is local small oysters soaked in ponzu sauce. We also tried horse sashimi (Ba-sashi) , garden salad (loaded literally in a mountain) and minced chicken meatball skewers (tsu-ku-ne) . Most importantly, the staffs were very friendly, but need to have someone who speaks Japanese...

Their menu offered a wide variety of dishes one might anticipate! The sake menu was also quite impressive! If you were to plan to dine there in the evening, just get there early as this place can get crowded by no later than 7pm! Food was quite tasty but a bit pricey!

Their signature mackerel with homemade sesame sauce is the best! 特上魚生 二人前 best quality for just JPY5000

nice. listed our name at 6pm and got in there at 7pm. food were fresh but served little late.

Food was just OK, a little disappointed at the quality and taste as both Google and Tabelog reviews are outstanding. The waitress served us was very pushing, keeping asking us to order sashimi. This is the only hard sell dinning experience we ever have in Japan. Definitely not recommend this place.

Experienced nice service with super fresh squid. We paid about 5000 yen for the squid and beer, little pricey but it was very fresh and tender and definitely worth a try.

Great atmosphere and delicious food. It is very difficult to get a reservation if you're a visitor; however, the food is absolutely worth it. Toro (fatty tuna) just melts in your mouth. I highly recommend this sushi.

Very good fresh quality of food, relaxing atmosphere, excellent service. Not a problem having difficulty communicating in English. Best service-mind. All good experience.

Every staff was very friendly. Little emergency happened but helped me right away. Chef was great. Wine was great and very reasonable price. Thank you for today.

Briliannt chef. Amazing tastes & atmosphere! Waiters are so kind!

I had a lunch. The price was not expensive. Sushi was not only delicious, but also beautiful. I could feel simplicity and minimalism from these cuisines. Additionally, the architecture of the building is really amazing. The inside of building is spacious. The atmosphere made me relax and comfortable.

Delicious, high quality sushi experience. Counter seating is a must. Each dish is served with purpose and care. Can't wait to try this place during lunch time. 💕

As a foreigner I was invited to this great restaurant. Authentic sushi with a twist to stand out amount the many other sushi restaurants. Place is very nice and the service was good. The “Omakase” was excellent and delicious, more than filling. I would highly recommend.

I have eaten an exuberant amount of ramen from all over the world, and I’m not sure why on earth this earned a Michelin star in 2019. It was way too salty and the broth tasted like gravy from KFC. I really wouldn’t recommend trying it, as Fukuoka has so many great options.

**Hakata Genki Ippai – Solid Tonkotsu in a Hidden Spot** You could easily walk past this discreet restaurant—its entrance shows only a **2019 Michelin sticker** and a menu, with no prominent signage. The **thick pork bone broth** is rich and creamy, perfect for cold weather, though very heavy. According to the chef, you should sip the soup before eating the noodles to appreciate its depth. Some recommend mixing in curry sauce, but I found it overly filling. While the ramen is good, it’s **not a destination bowl**—worth trying if you’re nearby, but not worth a special trip. **Cash only**. **Verdict**: A reliable, rich tonkotsu—visit when in the area, but don’t detour for it.

You won't find this place along any commercial street. In fact, I think this was in a low key residential area that we had to walk to from the main road. If we didn't know the significance of the blue bucket hanging outside, we would not have gone in. This "off the beaten path" restaurant was well worth the visit. Locals filled the place while we were there. Since it was our first time, my fiance and I tried their original, creamy tonkotsu ramen. I was curious about their well known curry ramen as well, but that can be an experience for next time 😁 This was unlike any ramen I've ever tasted - and at a value for money price too! Would definitely recommend 🙂

Ramen broth is best that I have ever tasted, rich and fragrant. Maybe is because I ordered a large portion, I totally can't finish it, the meat is thick and soft🤤, not oily, lots of spring onion and black fungus. I am very willingly to pay the price cause after you tasted it, it is worth the price. This place is abit hard to find

Oh lord the broth. It's so frothy and rich. It has a creaminess to it which just sticks in your mouth. Pork was fine, a bit tough. The egg was perfect and the extra onions order was incredibly generous. I love thin hakata style noodles, so these were amazing. Highly recommend for some Thicc tonkotsu if you're chasing that. No wait, service was fine, and it was pretty loud due to other customers.

Cash only! Michelin 2019🌟It is an authentic place with a neighborhood vibe and a simple menu! They offer an English menu. The soup base is very rich, almost like a creamy texture. The noodles are thin but perfectly cooked! The charsiu (pork) is a bit fatty for me, but if you like fatty charsiu, then you will love it.

A twist on ramen that unfortunately just doesn't work. From the first bite, you immediately notice the broth is overwhelmingly thick. Similar to porridge consistency. Taste is underwhelming. Just barely finished the noodles. Even then felt a little sick afterwards. The service is sub-par - pay for napkins, cash only, no bathroom nearby. Would not recommend unless you enjoy an extremely extremely thick broth.

Great quality food at very low price: too good to be true. While there is a line of about 15 people when I visited on 16 Apr 2025, the wait was only 10 minutes. Best udon I have tried. I prefer ramen than udon, but this udon restaurant would be worth waiting in line for. Quick tip: a single person will get seated faster, since there are 12 counter seats facing the food preparation area. Those with larger group will have to wait until the the only two 4-person tables are available. Couples can sit side by side at the counter too. The udon is served in a clay-bowl, and keeps the soup hot for a long time. The flat version of the udon I tried was chewy, and the soup base is light and fragrant, a tinge on the saltish side. Cost me only ¥550 for a bowl with beef & shrimp, and kashiwa-gohan (bowl of rice cooked with mushrooms and carrot). From accents of those who queued, both Japanese and foreign tourists patronised this using restaurant.

Don’t come here if you like sanuki style chewy udons. Here, they specialize in fresh soft udon that pairs great with their savoury dashi broth. We got here for lunch and it was not only packed with people but there was a queue when we left too. I got their hot udon with wild vegetables and it’s really clean and nourishing. The soft nature of the food continues in the mixed rice. I like the marinated simmered kombu on each table.

I couldn’t believe the price for the quality of food I was getting. Handmade udon and flavorful soup base, your choice of toppings. What more can you ask for? There are bar seating and tatami seating for large groups. Menu on the plaques. Service was quick. Can wait to come back again.

Good place get authentic udon if nearby. Really enjoyed the udon served here. Price was really good to despite the quality of the food served. Cash only, so make sure to bring cash. Highly recommended.

Simple no-nonsense udon shop. Don’t come expecting anything fancy or variety of meat, instead prepare for carb-loading and expect a lot of slurping. Choices are freshly made udon noodles (flat type, not thick round type common overseas), basic fried toppings, onigiri and rice inari. Seems frequented by locals and Korean tourists. English and Korean menu available and definitely same price as Japanese menu. Come before 7pm if you don’t want to wait in line too long for dinner.

The restaurant is rather small, but the homemade udon is delightfully soft, and the clear soup is flavorful. We were fortunate to arrive early and avoid the long queues that formed later on. And the price really cheap when compared with the quality.

Another famous food in Fukuoka, Udon Soft and smooth, new experience for Udon try the shrimp or beef cold one also recommend

Was in town for an overnight stay. No idea what we were ordering but it ended up being chicken and it was amazing. Staff were very friendly and the man there was very nice when we had trouble getting the car out of the car park. I would definitely recommend. Don’t think I have had such a succulent chicken meal before. This is democracy manifest!

Delicious! All different cuts of chicken fried to perfection. It's very popular, so usually a queue, but worth the wait

I live in New York and found this place while driving around Nakatsu. I loved the juiciness of the momoniku and teba!!

(Translated by Google) I stopped by while traveling. I honestly didn't have high expectations, thinking that fried chicken would be the same no matter where you eat it, but this is the real deal in Nakatsu. It was even more delicious than I expected. The seasoning was of course good, but the flavor of the fried chicken itself was amazing. It had none of the fishy odor that cheap chicken often has, and it was almost sweet. My favorite was the deep-fried whole piece of meat. You can see how popular this place is from the fact that locals were constantly ordering takeout while we were waiting. The prices are relatively reasonable too. If you like fried chicken, this is a restaurant you should try at least once. (Original) 旅行中に立ち寄りました。 唐揚げなんてどこで食べても同じだろうと失礼ながら期待はしてませんでしたが、さすが本場中津ですね。 想像以上においしかったです。 味付けももちろんおいしかったですが、唐揚げの肉自体の味がとてもおいしいです。 安い鶏肉にありがちな臭みが全くなく、甘いとさえ思ってしまうような鶏肉でした。 1枚肉を揚げた物が１番好みでした。 待ち時間にも続々と地元の方がテイクアウトしていく様子からも人気が伺えました。 お値段も比較的良心的です。 唐揚げが好きなら一度は食べていただきたいお店です。

(Translated by Google) This restaurant won the inaugural Grand Champion award at the Karaage Grand Prix. While I'm not familiar with the selection criteria, the Grand Champion is apparently chosen every few years from among the restaurants that have won the highest gold award at the annual Karaage Grand Prix. It's safe to say this restaurant is one of the best. I ordered the Moriyama Set and the Gizzard Skewer because I wanted to try a variety of dishes. They don't pre-prepare the food; they fry it to order, so the freshly made karaage is piping hot, juicy, and incredibly delicious. The chicken wings are good, but their signature bone-in chicken is especially delicious. I was planning to pass by this restaurant on a hot spring tour of the Kunisaki Peninsula, but since I was passing through Nakatsu, I decided to stop by. It was a good decision. I went right after opening on a weekday, so there was almost no wait, and my food was served in just over five minutes. There's a waiting area inside the restaurant. There's a large parking lot across the street. They have several locations, mainly in Oita Prefecture, and apparently also one in Gakugei University, Tokyo. (Original) からあげグランプリの初代グランドチャンピオンを受賞したお店 選考基準について詳しくありませんが、毎年開催されるからあげグランプリで過去数回最高金賞取ったお店の中から、数年に1回グランドチャンピオンを決めるらしいので、名店中の名店であることは間違いなさそうです こちらのお店の味付けは塩ダレがベースとのこと 色々食べたいのでもり山セットと、砂ずり串を注文 作り置きをせず、注文を受けてから揚げるので出来立ては熱々の肉汁が飛び出るほどのジューシーでホックホクのからあげで相当美味しいです 手羽先もいいですが、こちらのお店の定番品である骨付き肉が特に美味しい 素通りして国東半島の温泉巡りする予定でしたが、折角中津を通るしということで寄ってみて正解でした 平日開店直後のほぼ待ちがない時間帯に行ったこともあり、5分ちょっとですぐに提供されました 店内にある程度人数が入れる待ちスペースあり 道を挟んだ向かいに広めの駐車スペースあります 大分を中心に数店舗あり、東京の学芸大学にも店舗があるそうです

(Translated by Google) I was passing through Nakatsu and came here looking for a good fried chicken restaurant. You can eat your bento inside the restaurant. I also got takeout, and the fried chicken was delicious! The chicken skin is also recommended. The croquettes are also delicious. There was a constant stream of customers, even in the heavy rain. (Original) 中津を通り道、唐揚げの美味しいお店を探してこちらに来た。お弁当は店内で食べても良い。テイクアウトもしたが唐揚げは美味しい！鶏皮もおススメ。コロッケも美味しい。大雨の中お客さんが絶えなかった。

(Translated by Google) I live in another prefecture and there was a branch of Moriyama, but it closed down and I've always wanted to eat there. I recently had the opportunity to come to Nakatsu for work and was able to visit the main store! It's been a while since I last had Moriyama's fried chicken and it was delicious. (Original) 他県在住で、もり山さんの支店がありましたが閉店してしまいずっと食べたいなぁーと思っていました。 今回お仕事で中津に来る機会があり本店に来る事ができました！ 久しぶりのもり山さんの唐揚げ美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) If you are traveling by car, it is better to go to this Suganoya store. The inside of the restaurant is spacious and you can eat all kinds of horse meat dishes, so I'm very happy. There is a large parking lot, so I would like to visit again. (Original) 車で移動するなら、菅乃屋はこの店舗に行くのがベターです。店内は広く、馬肉料理を一通りなんでも食べられるので、とても嬉しいです。 駐車場も広いので、また改めて訪問したいです

(Translated by Google) If you want to eat horse meat, this is the place! We have everything from horse sashimi, grilled meat, hamburgers, and yukhoe. I'm happy to be able to eat horse meat in so many different ways. A buffet of salad and rice is also included. It's located just a few minutes from Kumamoto Airport, so we also recommend it to people from outside the prefecture! (Original) 馬肉を食べたいならココ！　馬刺し、焼き肉、ハンバーグ、ユッケなんでもあります。馬肉をこれだけ色々食べれると嬉しいですね。サラダやライスなどのバイキングもついています。熊本空港から数分の場所にありますので、県外の方にもオススメします！

(Translated by Google) Yakiniku specializing in horse meat near the airport. A restaurant with everything from horse sashimi to yakiniku to salads. For yakiniku, we definitely recommend the special selection with marbling. The assortment of horse sashimi is also good. Sauce, salt sauce, and Amakusa salt to your liking. Although the alcohol prices are a little high, there are a wide variety of flavors, including Hi-no-Kuni Beer, highballs, and various Kumamoto fruit juice flavors. It's perfect for groups to enjoy, but if you add too much, you'll be surprised at the bill... Plan your use... The special selection costs 3,000 yen per person... After eating the special selection, you won't be able to eat average meat anymore... We recommend eating it with Amakusa salt. (Original) 空港からほど近い馬肉専門焼肉。 馬刺し、焼肉、サラダ、なんでもありのお店。 焼肉はサシが入った特選が断然おススメ。 馬刺しも盛り合わせがgood。 タレ、塩ダレ、天草の塩のお好みで。 お酒の値段がやや高いが火の国ビールなど、ハイボールも様々な熊本の果汁テイストが入った物も多く多種多様な味わい。 団体で楽しむにはもってこいですが、追加しすぎるとお会計で驚くことに… ご利用は計画的に… 特選は1人前3.000円します… 特選食べた後は並みの肉は食べれなくなります… 天草の塩で食べるのがオススメ。

(Translated by Google) Both the meat and horse sashimi were delicious. The meat curry in the salad bar corner is super delicious! My companion praised it highly. The soft serve ice cream at the drink bar was delicious, and it was nice to be able to enjoy a variety of toppings. I think it's filling and the cost performance is not bad. Usually, I only used the bakery next door, but from now on I would like to use the restaurant as well. (Original) お肉も馬刺しも美味しかったです。 サラダバーコーナーの肉カレーが超うめぇ！と同行者が絶賛しておりました。 ドリンクバーのソフトクリームが美味しくて、いろいろトッピングを楽しめるのも良かったです。 お腹いっぱいになって、コスパも悪くないと思います。 いつもは、お隣のパン屋さんばかり利用していましたが、これからはレストランの方も利用したいと思います。

(Translated by Google) Once you choose your main dish, the rest is buffet. Salad, soba, horsemeat curry, soup, drink bar, soft serve ice cream, almond tofu, panna cotta, mini bread, and shiratama. There are so many kinds! ! The main course is horse meat hamburger steak and beef stew with cheek meat. The horse sashimi in the picture is an assortment of marbled meat, futaego, and koune for 2,100 yen. Thick and delicious. Very satisfied. I came to the store after 13:00, and there were still a lot of customers, but the store was also spacious. I was able to sit without lining up! ! (Original) メインを選んだら、あとはバイキング。 サラダ、そば、馬肉カレー、スープ、ドリンクバー、ソフトクリーム、杏仁豆腐、パンナコッタ、ミニパン、白玉。とにかく種類が豊富！！ メインは、馬肉ハンバーグとほほ肉のビーフシチュー。 画像の馬刺しは、霜降り、フタエゴ、コウネの盛合せで2100円。肉厚で美味しい。 大満足。 13時を過ぎて来店しましたが、まだまだお客様いっぱいですが、店内も広く 並ばずに座れました！！

(Translated by Google) I feel like the amount of individual dishes is small compared to the price. I don't think it would be easy to notice because there is a Viking. I would like to use the large lawn in front of the store as a parking lot. (Original) 値段のわりに単品料理の量が少ない様な気がします。 バイキングがあるのでなかなか気づかないとは思いますが。 店の前の広い芝生も駐車場にしてほしい。

(Translated by Google) I had the horse sashimi, and it was delicious because the taste varied depending on the part (*^^*) The yakiniku was also horse meat and the drinks were free drinks, so it was a good deal (*^^*) (Original) 馬刺しを頂きました、部位によって味わいも異なり美味しかったです(*^^*)焼肉も馬肉で飲み物はフリードリンクでしたのでお得な感じです(*^^*)

This is our second visit to Japan and this is the best Tonkatsu we have tasted. So fresh and beautifully cooked. Recommend the house speciality pork cutlet with charcoal and cocca crumb - delicious! We had to wait outside for about 15mins at 7pm on a Friday night but it was worth it. Most seating was along a counter but a couple of rooms were available fro groups. Staff were attentive and friendly.

We were lucky to find 2 seats at this place, cause usually is always full, sadly we were late to try the shabu-shabu cause the place was closing soon. We took two kurobuta Katsu sets with the black breading, the pork was really tender and juicy, they offer miso or katsuo signature sauce for the Katsu. Also two different dressing for the cabbage, the soup had pork chunks and mushrooms, everything was delicious. Price are in the range of the other kurobuta serving places and the stars was kind and helpful, they have English menu.

Exactly the kind of place we hoped to find here in Kagoshima Oishi! 😋 We had been recommended to try the black pork. And it was very good. Arrived around midday without a reservation. Shown to a bench table (2 next to each other). QR code got us a menu in English, and the sauces were helpfully labelled in English too 🥰 My black pork set lunch was delicious 😋 The pork crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Homemade dipping sauce was very good, but I found the miso sauce even better ☺️ Pickles, rice bowl and miso soup all tasty. Ebisu beer (Oishi!) and a shochu tasting for drinks Great service. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended

Amazing food at very, very reasonable prices. The kurobuta was excellent; would highly recommend the sirloin (~¥3000) set meal. As other reviews have noted, the accompanying condiments are exceptional. Tiny gripe: the draft beers are a little small for the price. Feels a tiny bit like gouging. Which is weird, given the decent prices for everything else! If I come back to Kago, I'm coming back here.

Ordered both sesame and normal black pork katsu. This is the best pork katsu I had - crunchy on the outer, juicy on the inner. Tried all the 3 sauces and still preferred their home made sauce which brought out the taste of the pork. We also ordered a lunch time special of black pork shabu shabu to go with. It also came with 3 sauces and the japanese style sauce is surprisingly better than the sesame ponzu, or the salt sauce.

The ambience is warm and the room we sat in is decorated like an old Japanese home. We ordered the black crusted pork loin and fillet tonkatsu because of their varying amount of fat. It is a utter disappointment. The crust falls off the meat readily and before eating the meat looks not juicy like normal pork cutlets but bone dry. I don’t know why perhaps the meat is too overcooked. The service is good but a little rushed. They have to clear the table for the next customers. Nice atmosphere but the food disappoints! Service acceptable because they are busy!

Very tiny restaurant, i think they can accomodate up to 10 people. So be prepared to wait (i was quite lucky in that regard). I got the pork tonkatsu and the pork was cooked quite nicely (however it could have used a bit of seasoning). Sides to the dish were also quite tasty and so was ice cream

The only disappointing part was that there was no free wine tasting. Be sure to climb up to the highest point above the vineyards to get a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains.

Wine tasting is free. But the wines on offer were not at all to my taste. And the prices listed were higher than what they deserve.

Wonderful

(Translated by Google) Unlike before, tasting now costs 1,000 yen per person, but there's no limit on the number of samples you can try, so you can relax on a bench outside and compare different wines. They also sell brandy-flavored soft serve ice cream, which is also delicious. One suggestion: I'd like them to sell coffee and other drinks to drivers so they don't have to waste time. The waiting time is quite long. (Original) 以前と違って、テイスティングには1人1000円支払うシステムになりましたが、 試飲の制限もなくゆっくり外のベンチでくつろぎながらワインの飲み比べ出来ます。 ブランデー風味のソフトクリームも売っていて、こちらも美味しい。 ひとつ提案として、ハンドルキーパーも時間を持て余さない様にコーヒー等を販売してもらいたい。待っている時間が結構長いんですよね。

(Translated by Google) This is my favorite winery in Kyushu. I almost always attend the new wine festival and barrel opening. All of the wines are delicious, but more than anything, the air here is pleasant. If you visit early in the morning, it's even more refreshing than during the day, and you'll be soothed by the beautiful songs of the wild birds. The historic glassware on display in the barrel storehouse is gorgeous and beautiful, and it's fun just to look at it. While the paid tastings are fun, the brandy soft serve ice cream sold at the shop is a recommended dessert that you should definitely try. (Original) 九州のワイナリーで一番好きなワイナリーです。 新酒祭や樽開きはほぼ参加します。 ワインはどれも美味しいのですが、何よりもここの空気が気持ち良い。朝早い時間で訪れると昼間とは違い、一層の清々しさと美しい野鳥の声に癒されます。樽庫の中で展示されている歴史あるグラスも華やかで美しく、見ているだけでも楽しいです。有料試飲も楽しいですが売店で売っているブランデーソフトクリームは是非食べてもらいたいおすすめスイーツです。

(Translated by Google) You can sample over 10 different wines without a time limit. 🤤 However, the sparkling wine served first, which wasn't available for self-tasting, was delicious! lol The brandy-flavored soft serve ice cream was also fragrant and delicious. 🙌 (Original) 時間制限なく10数種類のワインを試飲できます🤤 ただ、最初に出されるセルフ試飲のないスパークリングワインが美味しすぎｗｗ ブランデー風味ソフトも香りよく美味しかったです🙌

We usually dine at their other outlet in Tenjin but decided to dine here as we wanted to visit the Daimyo area. Even after arriving at 1020 am before the shop opened, there was already a queue, so much so that we missed the first sitting. Ordering is easy - you select and pay at the two machines at the door, wait for a seat to be assigned and then present the tickets to the staff. The tempura were super fresh and cooked to order, and the ebi were especially good, being large, firm and sweet. Moreover, the tempura were not oily at all and the batter was just nice. The colourful set came with a large battered chicken and a slightly fishy piece of fish. Sets came with a bowl of rice, a small dish of sliced and pickled squid and a bowl of soup. The picked sliced radish was really good.

Tempura served fresh, one piece at a time — right in front of you! The highlight here is definitely the freshness and perfect crispiness of the tempura. While the flavor might not be super bold or unique, the experience of watching the chef fry and serve each piece directly to your tray is truly enjoyable. The side dish of fresh squid with yuzu was also surprisingly good — refreshing and flavorful. You’ll need to order from a vending machine first, but the process is easy and food comes out fast. Definitely worth a visit for tempura lovers looking for quality and a fun dining experience.

We are visiting Japan from the USA for the second time, and we decided to come back to this restaurant a couple years after our first visit because we enjoyed it so much the last time. I’m happy to report that we were equally pleased with the experience. There is a little bit of friction for visitors like us that don’t read Japanese. While they do have English (and other languages) menus available online via their website or QR code that links to that site, the site loads slowly, the menus items don’t have clear descriptions until you open a subpage from the menu item name for more info, and even when you figure out what you want you will also need to figure out what button to press on the ticket machine which is in Japanese. I got mixed up and pressed the wrong button but I’m not a particularly picky eater and have no dietary restrictions so I just had that instead, which ended up being very good. Once we managed to get our tickets, we sat on the waiting bench until called to the counter. We presented our tickets, washed our hands with the damp towel, and was promptly served our drinks and food. The tempura comes out one piece at a time so by the time I was ready for the next one it was just cool enough for me to eat it comfortably. Because everything is paid for in advance, after dining there is no need to go to a register. I was originally going to order the 7 vegetable set, but ended up clicking the button for the Tempura set meal which is the only meal set that has mackerel, and is a fish focused set. I wish I would have figured out what I wanted and what button it is on the machines before I even came to the restaurant to make getting the ticket easier but I’ll try to keep that in mind next time. I think a good change would be to add menu item numbers to the buttons on the ticket machines so if you know you want meal set number 7 for example by looking on the English menus you just look for the number 7. We had a wonderful meal, and when I am blessed to visit this city again I would very much like to eat here again.

Try to get there 30 minutes before the main meal rush hour. It’s great that there is an English menu to help you navigate the vending machine. Only cash is accepted.

We ordered sets from the vending machine (there was the option for individual pieces too). Each customer gets to see the kitchen action of portioning rice, soup and then getting served with freshly fried tempura pieces! No need for fanciful sauces.. the fermented squid side dish was lovely too.. no fishy/briny taste unlike what we tried at other restaurants. Overall, a very satisfying meal.

For me, tempura tastes almost the same but the different will be from fresh ingredient inside and the cruchiness outside They will serve piece by piece with rice and soup If you are not tempura lovers and don't want to line up, come early or find some places else

Each piece of tempura is served fresh from the fryer. Despite tempura’s reputation as a pricier dish, this place offers an incredibly affordable menu, making it a standout in the area. The wait is well worth it, as every piece is meticulously prepared. Also, their いかの塩辛—an absolute rice thief! perfectly complements the rice and tempura. For quality, affordability, and an unforgettable culinary experience in Fukuoka, this shop is a must-visit.

A thoroughly enjoyable fine dining experience. This elegant restaurant upholds high standards in classic French cuisine, delivered with finesse and precision. The calm, continental-style setting is beautifully appointed—posh linen, artful decor, and an ambiance that invites you to slow down and savour. The food was delicious across the board, from the amuse-bouches to the dessert—each course thoughtfully composed and elegantly presented. Service was a highlight. Special mention goes to the sommelier, whose warm hospitality and professionalism greatly enhanced the evening (apologies for missing his name). A polished and memorable experience from start to finish.

French restuarant. We made a reservation for weekday lunch a few days in advance. Came here for our 12pm reservation and we were promptly seated. We first ordered out wines, and then after our wines arrived on table we got the food menu and chose our set. They gave choice of 3 sets for lunch. JPY4k, JPY6k and JPY10k, elall excluding tax and service. We chose the JPY4k set as it is a special for weekday. Food was very good. Wine was good. Service was excellent. Very good

The presentations of food are superb and taste was so yummy!! All staffs are very caring and professional. The restaurant atmosphere is so beautiful and special! The price was quite affordable and I feel like I paid a lot less than I was treated there. Thank you so much for all your great hospitality!!!👍♥️ Definitely , I wanna come back!!!

I had the set dinner with friends here, I ordered the dinner set which is around 12000 yen, drink is around 1000 yen. The dinner got six courses plus petite four. The appetizers are tasty, the fish in cream sauce is particularly good! The duck breast is juicy and tender, and the strawberry dessert is lightly sweetened. The petite fours are delicious too! Service is good, and we had a good time.

When in Fukuoka this is a must visit esp if want change from Japanese cuisine. High quality and top service. Limited wine list but covers all regions. Standard similar tonall sister restaurants

I'm afraid to say but slightly disappointing. Lack of creativity. Great staff and atmosphere can't make up for that. I love other restaurants of this group for had higher expectations from the "mother ship" coming from tokyo, amongst other things for this restaurant.

We are travelers, made the reservation online just at the previous night. Our lunch course had high quality food for everything, no mention dishes, even bread, coffee were excellent. Way over our expectation, very satisfied, highly recommend.

The udon is too soft. I think the chef cooked too long. The katsu don taste good. Fried chiken wings are also tasty. Otherwise, the other dishes are so so.

This is an amazing spot for hand made udon with tempura and a rotating menu of sides. I would highly recommend the tsudachi udon. Cold udon on a rich dashi broth with thinly sliced citrus. Perfect for a hot day. The tempura is also impeccable with gobo that is basically free. Very small place so I imagine it can get pretty busy but definitely worth it.

What a great place to eat! Kamakiri Udon is one of the top udon restaurants in Japan and offers extremely tasty dishes. The udon are soft on the outside and firm to the bite on the inside. I definitely recommend trying the side dishes or one of the sets on offer. The price/performance ratio is excellent.

Rating 3.5 out of 5 stars I had the udon with clams and a plate of sashimi. The sashimi was made from the daily selection of fish that the restaurant offered on that day, and it was outstanding. The quality of the fish was excellent. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and clean. The flavors were rich but never too fishy, which I enjoyed a lot. It was served with soy sauce, a slice of lime, and wasabi. The portion and presentation were beautiful and it was a pleasure to eat. For the main dish I had the udon with clams. I have to admit that I am not a big fan of udon in general because the chewy texture is not really something I enjoy. That is also part of the reason for the rating. The dish itself was good. The amount of clams was impressive and they all had a deep and very flavorful taste with great quality. The broth or liquid was extremely light and delicate. I could not fully tell if it was meant to be a broth or more of a cooking liquid, because it did not carry much flavor and tasted a bit watery. Because of that I did not end up drinking it. The main issue was that the dish did not create much synergy between the ingredients. When you ate the noodles you tasted only noodles. When you ate the clams you tasted only clams. The flavors did not blend together as much as I hoped. The restaurant itself is located in a beautiful and calm area with a nice natural atmosphere. I enjoyed the breeze coming in and the environment felt very pleasant. The service was extremely friendly. You place your order with the staff and pay at the machine at the end. Overall it was a good experience. The clams were excellent and the sashimi was delicious. Udon simply is not my favorite type of noodle, and the dish could have used more depth and harmony. Because of that I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Taste I’ve never tried before. Noodle has chewy texture. Tart flavor of sudachi really goes well with the umami of the broth.

Really delicious udon with beef. Tasted great even when delivered through Uber Eats!

We had mentaiko, sashimi with sesame sauce, and gobo tempura. They were all delicious. Then mentaiko udon, which was quite spicy. Everything was delicious!

SO MUCH TOFU!!! I had my lifetimes worth of tofu and the food just KEPT COMING. We ordered a bunch of lunch sets and split it. OMG! Definitely an experience and I do recommend. However, it is a bit on the pricy side of things and I wasn’t a fan of the taste of all the dishes. Quite bland, but if you love trying new dishes it’s amazing. The serving portions aren’t too big so it great. Also, I’m vegetarian and this was great.

Amazing experience. Favorite thing was tofu skin, so different from any I had before. The waygu hot pot was also to die for.

(Translated by Google) Use it at the beginning of your meal. Each dish was delicious🤤 Courteous customer service and hospitality. The price was so good that it felt cheap considering the service and quality ( ˊ̱˂˃ˋ̱ ) I call it a souvenir, or rather, even if I don't use it inside the store, there are various things for sale in the showcase next to the cash register, so I sometimes buy some to take home. Really delicious😋 (Original) お食い初めで利用。 一品一品美味しかった🤤 丁寧な接客とおもてなし。 価格もサービスとクオリティを考えたら安いと感じるほど良かった( ˊ̱˂˃ˋ̱ ) お土産というか、店内利用じゃなくてもレジ横のショーケースに色々販売してるのでお持ち帰りでもたまに買ってます⚡️ ホンマに美味しい😋

(Translated by Google) I decided to visit this restaurant after considering various conditions for a family celebration. We reserved Kotobuki Kaiseki and a private room for dinner and held a ㊗️celebratory banquet. All of the meals were delicious with a mellow seasoning, and the portions were plentiful and satisfying. The food served in a three-tiered box had an impact on its appearance. In addition, the standard tofu dengaku and yuba dishes, as well as the lava-grilled Japanese black beef, were delicious. It was also good that I was able to choose sekihan at Kotobuki ㊗️ Kaiseki. The parking lot 🅿️ is affiliated with the Fukuoka Bank tower parking lot or the Bon La Pass Takamiya store parking lot.

(Translated by Google) I went there on a weekday without a reservation. I confirmed the day before, but they initially refused me because they didn't have a reservation, citing a change in circumstances. I accepted the 40-minute wait and waited inside, but I was seated fairly quickly and it wasn't particularly busy, so I wondered why they turned me away? However, the food was delicious. I ordered the seasonal lunch and changed the rice to shrimp doria for an additional fee! Everything was delicious! (Original) 平日に予約無しで行きました。前日確認して行ったんですが状況が変わったという理由で最初は予約がないからと断られたんですけど、40分位待つことになることを了承して店内で待ったんですけど、割とすぐ案内されて特別混み合ってもなくなぜ断られたんのか？って感じでしたが、食事は美味しかったです。季節限定のランチにしてご飯を追加料金でエビドリアに変更しました！どれも美味しかったです！

(Translated by Google) It's easy to get to, just a short walk from Takamiya Station. It's on the second floor of an old-fashioned building, so you might wonder, "Is this really where it is?", but once you go upstairs, you'll find a restaurant with a lovely Japanese-style atmosphere! I've always gone to the Tenjin location, but the Takamiya location had better service and reminded me of the old Ume no Hana. We had a wonderful time relaxing in a private room and enjoying some well-prepared tofu dishes. It's also very child-friendly, so I recommend it. It's understandable since it's been around for a long time, but it was disappointing that there was a bucket in the room to cover water leaks and some areas were not cleaned properly. (Original) 高宮駅から徒歩すぐで利用しやすいです。昔ながらのビル2階なので、ここにあるの？と思いますが、2階にあがると和室の雰囲気が良い店内が広がります！いつも天神の方を利用していましたが、高宮店の方が接客が良く、昔の梅の花を思い出しました。個室でゆっくりさせていただき、安定した豆腐料理をいただけ素敵な時間になりました。子連れでも非常に行きやすいのでオススメです。 昔からあるので仕方ないですが、お部屋に水漏れのためのバケツがあったり、清掃が行き届いていない箇所があったりするのが残念でした。

(Translated by Google) The cost performance is good, but the customer service from the staff is not very good. The atmosphere of the shop is nice, but they explain things mechanically and indifferently, and they won't let you get tea unless you ask. The food is consistently delicious, such as raw gluten dengaku and yuba. No chemical seasonings are used, so you can rest assured. If the customer service improves, I expect it to be 4 stars in the future. <PS> November 6, 2019 Still bad customer service. The clerk at the cash register is friendly and has good customer service, but the clerk who brings the food is a bit timid and doesn't have a very good customer service attitude. Also, this dish contains a lot of additives, so when I got home that day, the area around my eyes was red. Although I was not feeling well, I doubt that many plum blossom dishes, which have a healthy image, are loaded with additives. Also, there is eel rice among the rice options, but I think it's a good idea not to tell them that it's made in China. Nowadays, questions are being raised about the hygiene and safety of Chinese-produced ingredients, so if you are using them, wouldn't it be a good idea to explain their safety as a service? I'm a little disappointed. (Original) コスパは良いのですが、店員の接客があまり良くない。 店の雰囲気は良いのですが、機械的に淡々と説明し、お茶なども言わなければ入れてくれない。 お料理は生麩田楽、湯葉など安定した美味しさ。 化学調味料を用いてないので、安心して頂けます。 接客が良くなれば4つ星だけに今後期待します。 <追記> 2019年11月6日 相変わらず接客悪い。 レジにいる店員さんは愛想も良くて接客も良いのだが、料理を運んでくる店員さん　ちょっと根暗で接客態度あまり良く無いですね。 またこちらのお料理に添加物が沢山入っているので、この日だ帰宅してから目の周りが赤くなっていました。 体調不良だった事もありますが、健康的なイメージの梅の花のお料理が添加物を沢山使われていることには疑問。 また選べるご飯の中に鰻ご飯も入っておりますが、中国産という事を伝えないのもどうかと思います。 昨今中国産の食材の衛生面や安全性に疑問の声が投げ掛けられている中、使用しているなら安全性を説明するのもサービスではないでしょうか？ 少し残念です。

Shabu course for dinner comprises of meat, vegetables, ramen, and ice cream. I think it is a bit pricey. Beef is very nice, but pork is not that fantasy. Good ambience and nice service.

excellent ambience with such a delicious food also superb services we got our best experience and also enjoy this rich meat with fresh vegetables being served one by one followed along with filling rice then we are satisfied till the very end with this imo ice cream its my favourite because my sweet tooth said so

Good quality of beef. Nice place. Good test. Must try. Price a bit high.

Service and food are pretty good, each table has separate room is a plus

Delicious food with reasonable price. Service was great.

We ordered Kagoshima black beef sirloin (sukiyaki) course for 2 people. Although beef is solid, it is pricey to spend 26400 yen for 2-people sukiyaki course just on DIY.

Delicious Kagoshima beef and pork loin. But its pretty weird to me they use 'pure water' to make hot pot! Yes, you heard me! Pure Water! If you have no problem of having the beef cooked in pure water, this is the one which deserves five out of five! Service is excellent to be fair!

One of the best Izakaya restaurants that we dined in our trip to Fukuoka. Ambience is casual and comfy, staff are all very polite and helpful in our choice of dishes. Food is well seasoned and well cooked, offering superb satisfaction to taste buds!

We were incredibly lucky and get a seat as walk ins and the restaurant blew us away. We got the omakase and each dish was magical. But what is even more special is the people working the. You see the passion in their faces and they joy they have to see you like the food. The food was so good, that we ended up ordering another plate of some courses at the end. Hands down the best meal in Japan.

Not easy to find the restaurant; not easy to order either. So we choose the “course” as recommended. Quite impressive, almost each one come out with its own delightful experience 👍👍

Great izakaya resto in the neibourhood. We didn’t make reservation, but very lucky to have two seats, after several hours shopping in the CBF area. Staff are polite and helpful - and here my sincere apology to a young staffer there, I was too into the details of the English menu, and being too arrogant for the inconsistency against my expectation. Highly recommend this resto to world travellers.

Thank you for serving us. Food was decent, I and two of my friends have made a reservation one month in advance but it turns out that we have to squeeze in a small table which is the size for one person compared with other customers. Disappointed.

This izakaya delivered one of the best dining experiences we’ve had across all our visits to Japan. We stumbled upon it by chance, and from the moment we walked in, both the front of house and kitchen staff made us feel like part of their family. The warmth and hospitality were exceptional. Every single dish was prepared with such passion and attention to detail. The food was outstanding and beautifully showcased Fukuoka’s local culinary traditions. We spent two wonderful hours there, enjoying fantastic drinks and memorable food that sparked genuine joy with each bite. If you’re in Fukuoka, this is without question one of the best dining options in the city. Highly recommended.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Might be one of the best meals I've had this far in Japan, at a fair price the ambient is movie like, service perfect and the food is one of a kind. Not every day one finds such a complete and joyfully experience

Fit all the criterial for Michelin 3 stars, although Michelin not operate in this area anymore. Good wine and sake pairing, some additional items can order. Booking is relatively easy for a Tabelog top 10 sushi in Japan plus a gold award. Endomae style, at least 30% cheaper than same level restaurant in Tokyo.

This is a pretty traditional sushi restaurant in that they do not serve unusual fish or novelty dish, but the ingredients quality, the service and the care put in preparing every dish is immaculate. One of the best sushi experience is the world.

Everything was good - definitely with the visit (as long as you get a slot)

Note: the entrance to the establishment is a bit hard to find on Google maps so please get there a few minutes before your reservation just in case! The restaurant is immaculately clean. Food was excellent and service was great. Patrons were offered an option for smaller/half portion rice with sushi, which is great for those watching their carbs intake 😂 One of the servers was a bit clumsy and knocked a patron's half glass of beer over. They then gave them the same amount (half a glass) of beer in a smaller glass. The toilets were very clean and packeted mouth washers were also available

Honestly bang for the buck! Stellar fish quality, shari, and service! The slightly warm and more flavorful shari brings out the kuruma ebi’s full flavor. Kanpachi zuke , akami zuke, chutoro and anago were a few of my favorites.

One of the best sushi experience, real authentic. Only 12 persons per round is accepted. Recommend to additional order Sake pairing as Sake served here are really really good.

Shokunin of Sushi. Not many sushi restaurant is awarded 3 stars on michelin guide. Sakai was in the 3 stars list in 2019 and received Tabelog Silver award on the latest 2023 list. The hospitality, the quality of ingredient, the expressing of the flavor, decoration and cooking skill are in a mastery level. Not so many restaurant make you feel happy in every dishes and Sakai is one of those. No doubt that Sakai is on the top 10 list of sushi restaurant in Japan. Heavenly bite!!

We had the ¥5000 menu, with all you can drink. Sake was great. 100 types available ( not all were on the all you can drink menu though) delicious food.

Fresh mackerel, so sweet

Fresh & reasonable price

more than mackrel~

(Translated by Google) I went in for lunch. I heard that the sesame mackerel set meal is no longer available at lunchtime. It's a shame, as I came all the way from Tokyo just for this! The staff were very friendly and I was able to relax in a private room, but it's still a real shame... The hot towel and cold water that came were not even a millimeter wet, but they did replace the hot towel as expected. I ordered the fried chicken set meal. It was freshly fried and crispy. Even from a rice shop kid's perspective, the rice had just the right amount of moisture and was very delicious. The miso soup was a scrambled egg soup with wakame seaweed and green onions, and had a strong dashi flavor. By the way, refills of rice and miso soup are free for 850 yen. Good value for money. The fried chicken can get a bit oily as it cools. You might want to eat it all in one go, or choose the mackerel miso or salted mackerel. (Original) ランチで入店。 ごまさば定食は昼はやらなくなったとの事。東京からこれ目当てできたのに残念！ 店員さんの対応は良く、1人個室でゆっくりできたが本当に悔しい…。 水気が1ミリもないおしぼりとお冷がきたが、流石におしぼりだけは変えてもらった。 唐揚げ定食をオーダー。 揚げたてカリカリ。米屋の子どもから見てもご飯も水分量がちょうど良く、とても美味しかった。 お味噌汁はわかめとネギが入ったかきたま汁で、出汁が効いていてうまい。 ちなみに、ご飯とお味噌汁はおかわり無料で850円。コスパよし。 唐揚げは冷めてくると油が厳しい感じ。とりあえず勢いで食べ切るか、さば味噌もしくは塩さばの選択がいいかも。

(Translated by Google) I've become addicted to the deliciousness of Fukuoka's mackerel, so this time I came to Sabaro, a restaurant specializing in mackerel dishes. There are so many different mackerel dishes to choose from, it's hard to choose. The classic sashimi options include wild mackerel and farmed mackerel, and both are delicious! The farmed mackerel is fattier, though. Personally, the fresh spring rolls with mackerel were the best! The meat dishes were also delicious. This is a restaurant I'd definitely like to visit again. (Original) 福岡の鯖の美味しさにハマりまして、今回は鯖料理専門店の鯖郎さんにきました。 色々な鯖料理があって迷ってしまいます。 定番の刺身は天然鯖と養殖鯖がありますが、どちらも美味しい！養殖のほうが脂がのってますね。 個人的に鯖が入った生春巻きが最高でした！ 他に肉料理も美味しかったです。 ぜひまた来たいお店です。

(Translated by Google) The mackerel bento and the atka mackerel bento are a little more expensive than the other bentos, but they are very delicious. They are well worth the price. The mackerel is fatty and of high quality, and I think they use good quality mackerel. I recommend the grated daikon radish ponzu sauce. (Original) 鯖弁当とホッケ弁当は他の弁当と比べると少し高いですが、とても美味しいです。価格相応の価値は十分にありますね。脂が乗っていて、その質も高く、良いサバを使っていると思いました。オススメはおろしポン酢です。

Seven years after watching the Japanese drama 忘却のサチコ, my wife and I finally visited Suginoko. I had the Kurobuta Pork Belly set meal, and it was honestly the best pork belly I’ve ever eaten—melts right in your mouth. We also shared the Miyazaki charcoal-grilled jidori chicken, and among all the charcoal-grilled chicken I’ve tried in Kyushu, this one really stood out for its incredible flavor and texture. 👍👍 I also tried the famous hiya-jiru soup with rice for the first time—highly recommend it to anyone visiting Miyazaki for the 1st time!

Felt really welcomed from start to finish! We had chicken nanban and grilled chicken meal set with local cucumber soup - they didn't disappoint. 😀 Staff can speak English so that's a great addition.

Best food I had on this trip to Japan! Absolutely gorgeous. Plus friendly owners and stuff and great sake to accompany the food. I would love to come back again soon to have more of this great food!

Quite good, nice food and relax place.

(Translated by Google) We had a large group and rented the entire second floor. Everything was delicious, especially the meat. They had a wide selection of alcoholic beverages and a fair number of soft drinks, but it seemed like they didn't have many low-alcohol options. The Hyuga Natsu juice was very popular with everyone around me, and I thought it was delicious too. (Original) 大人数で2階を貸切で使わせて頂きました どれも美味しく特にお肉は絶品でした お酒もたくさん種類がありソフトドリンクもそこそこ数がありましたが度数が低めのアルコールはあまりない様子 日向夏ジュースは周りの方にもとても好評で自分もとても美味しいと思いました

(Translated by Google) I used it for entertainment with an important business partner. When you enter the building, you can feel the atmosphere of a long-established restaurant from the entrance, and take the elevator to the upper floor. The room we were taken to was a private room with table seating. It feels exactly like a reception. The meals are courses, which include appetizers, soups, sashimi, grilled dishes, fried dishes, and simmered dishes. Just a full course Japanese meal! Sashimi is my favorite amberjack. It's thick, thick, sweet and delicious. Miyazaki beef is also tender and the flavor of the meat spreads in your mouth. Then there's alcohol. Enjoy the Nichinan Musume recommended by the chef. It's refreshing and mellow, and goes well with the side dishes. It was a great dinner, with delicious food and delicious drinks, and great conversation. (Original) 大事なビジネスパートナーと接待で使わせてもらいました。 一棟ビルの入ると入り口から老舗料亭の雰囲気がてでおり、エレベーターで上階へ。 通された部屋はテーブル席の個室。 まさに接待にふさわしい感じ。 料理はコースで、前菜、吸い物、刺身、焼き物、揚げ物、煮物と続きます。まさに和食のフルコース！ 刺身は僕の大好きなカンパチ。肉厚であぶらがのって甘味があって美味。 宮崎牛もやわらかくて肉のうまみがじゅわーっと口の中に広がる。 それからお酒。大将おすすめの日南娘(ひなむすめ)をいただく。すっきりまろやかで、これが肴といっしょにグイグイ進む。 美味しい料理と美味しいお酒で会話もすすみ、とてもよい会食になりました。

The sushi is great and the chefs are very well trained to focus on making good quality fine-dining sushi. A must try spot for everyone who loves seafood and Japanese sushi craftsmanship. You may take a small walk to reach the spot.

Very strong shari that balanced well with some fish and not so much others. Otsumami were great, good value overall. Lots of comments about limited interaction with the chef. When he dropped our pieces he simply said the name in Japanese-I don’t expect anything else. Then an assistant brings an info card which is a bonus. The chef did spend the entire 1.5 hours talking to a couple wearing APs like they were having a dinner party, annoying for me and I imagine the chef as well.

Managed to book on tabelog about a week in advance. The meal was so beautiful and definitely filled us up. Only one chef serving 10 seats.

This was definitely on the more formal end, with an almost military-like hierarchy among the chef and the apprentices. The atmosphere was slightly intimidating, though the food was good. The abalone risotto in particular was amazing, and the squid sushi was delicious. Some things that could have made things better... - we felt the course was rather rushed. We are ok with 15 sushi that you eat as soon as it is in front of you, but it's more like we were served chawanmushi, but before we could finish, the next sushi was in front of you. Same with a fish ball in broth - before we could finish, the anago sushi was in front of you. - the large prawn was delicious, though I think the sand vein was not removed, resulting in a grainy texture - although having pictures and names of the fish is appreciated, it would be more helpful to know the typical preparations, culinary notes etc, rather than identification characteristics like length, position of fins etc - we were surprised to be charged for tea, and also for top-ups of the tea... Having been to a number of high end omakase before, I had expected the tea to be provided as part of the meal, instead of being charges 2000yen extra for four very small glasses of cold oolong tea

First of all, my booking was at 11:00a.m. and we arrived at 11:05 and completely sat down at the restaurant around 11:10a.m. Other 5 customers already started their meal when we sat down. We were late and it was our fault. However, we finished the meal within an hour as the picture I took after the meal outside the restaurant has a time stamp of 12:06p.m. The meal was supposed to be 90 minutes according to the booking and we ( a group of 5 persons) felt the rush. There were a total of 15 items in the whole lunch set. And there were a few occasions that there were 2 sushi in front of me. Also, the chef did not even try to talk to us, but he talked to the other customers next to me in Japanese. I'm not sure if it was because we are foreigners. Or he was too busy to catch up with the schedule due to our lateness. The apprentices (or assistance), though, did greet us and shared with us some fish information about the sushi using a tablet. When we got out of the restaurant, the assistance also stood in front of the restaurant to say goodbye. This restaurant makes sushi rice with red vinegar as we can see the darker rice. It also brought stronger sourness in the sushi than usual. I m not an expert with sushi, but it is not my cup of tea. Having said that, I do like the non-rice part, in particular the shellfish and the prawn, which were full of umami. The environment was clean, simple, and tidy with a large L-shape Japanese wooden bar top table and 10 seats. Pretty cozy.

One of the best sushi experiences in Fukuoka. The omakase goes beyond the traditional Edo-style nigiri menu, with unique fish we hadn’t seen elsewhere in Japan. The taishō runs the counter like a star, with staff moving around him like a perfectly conducted orchestra. Excellent sake selection too. We’ve been told that locals don’t usually go for upscale sushi in town and tend to go outside Fukuoka, so expect to find mainly Chinese/Taiwanese patrons alongside you.

Strongly recommended by local friend. The food was amazing and it is well explained by translated paper. The staff's are very professional and full of hospitality. Strongly recommended to everyone.

We had the lunch omakase here and really enjoyed it! The chef and solo waiter were really welcoming and attentive. We had 10 pieces of nigiri, a chawanmushi, a set of 3 pieces of sushi at the end with tamago and two slices of watermelon for dessert. Everything was delicious and very fresh. Not the most outstanding omakase I've ever had in Japan in terms of the different techniques shown but very enjoyable and good value for money

The ingredients are very fresh, especially the steamed eggs and soup . But I don't really like the bitter and fishy taste of sea urchin, so maybe sea urchin is not in season!

Sublime sushi, the squid and scallop were especially good. Intimate and friendly.

very very delicious sushi. loved everything that was prepared for us during our lunch omakase.

Best sushi I've ever had in my life!

God..

Excellent place for a tea experience! They allow walk-ins, but there is an extra fee if you don’t have a reservation. To make a reservation, you have to call them.

When I get there, it was not full at all, still have plenty more seats, and i walk in and said I don’t have reservation, they didn’t even mention anything, and just said I could come in and have a seat in the bar table. I ordered a tea set menu, and beyond that, I chosen one tea with extra cost, like 500yen. The tea set just one tea section, they boiled water and give me 3 cups of tea, that’s all. It comes with one piece of strawberry, one wagashi, one bite size of date, and couple one bit beans and dry fruit, that’s all they have in the tea set. This set is about 5500 yen. - In the middle, I was told I have to pay table fee, 1000yen. But they also charged 10% service fee at the same time. - In the end, the bill is such confusing, total Is like more than 7200 yen. It’s kind like i paid tax, over tax and over tax again again again. Coz I’m confused about the bill, and they even didn’t provide me a clear receipt??? I’m asking for a receipt, they just show me the hand written note without any annotation?? EXTRA confused! - I would say this is good place, but all the fees and unclear receipts all make me feel not worth to try it, coz there are so many super great tea place with reasonable price out there!

Ambience was very nice, professional in Japanese tea service, the tea cocktail was excellent. But the menu is in Japanese only.

Worth the experience, I ordered full set with extra mandarin tea cocktails. Very nice place to sip hot tea and relaxed but the room is not big, one table around 10-12 seats. Better book in advance but love it!

It was a unique experience that I recommend to those wanting to try green tea or elaborated cocktails in a peaceful and tranquil environment. The is slow music playing, the staff moves with grace and everyone speaks in low voices and take their time. That is the whole experience of drinking tea. To show respect, use Google translate, speak slow and low and don’t do any noise and you’ll be able to enjoy this very unique and lovely place. I had roasted tea with the most amazing mocho dessert and then ordered a cocktail.

We got the plum and tangerine cocktails. Nothing to write home about - no interesting taste or flavor. We got three sweets - the white bean, green tea jelly and black jelly. The green tea jelly was the most interesting because of the powder served with it but the other 2 weren’t special. They’ve done a good job with the interiors but definitely not worth the price because the quality of the cocktails and sweets really wasn’t great. Unfortunately, the lack of quality of the cocktails and sweets and the high price left a bad taste in my mouth and made the experience feel pretentious.

Perhaps one of the most precious tea houses in Yame - sourcing excellent tea from many nearby reputable farmers. Very much worth a visit to experience the depth of tea from Yame, known as “Yamecha.” Things to keep in mind as a foreigner: - Reservations are highly recommended. As a foreigner this is impossible (as you know.) If you go as a walk in you might be able to squeeze in, but don’t be disappointed if you can get in. - Photos are not allowed in the shop - except for top down photos of the tea itself. Just keep this in mind. The shop is beautiful so you’ll want to do photos inside but it’s not possible. Anyhow, my favorite tea house in Yame!

FOOD : Good! PLACE : Good. SERVICE : Not Good! TOILET : Ok. PRICE : Fair. Once again “Google Map” made me being here. The Japanese Staff, was not friendly and unable English. The other Staffs (probably Pinoy Lady) difficult also in english and seem confused while handling Me. Luckily the Menu was in English and had pictures. Anyway, The Gyoza was Good Taste. At last I met the Whale Fish Sashimi here and Horse Meat Sashimi (surprisingly its very Tasty). They have different soy sauce for these foods. This place was crowded but it had a nice atmosphere eating here. The Toilet was not too clean. Price was fair for this Good Food. You can try eating in here for the rare Sashimi.

This restaurant scores 3.49 in tabelog, a Japan app rating restaurants. We ate this because there’s a long queue outside the restaurant. They serves mainly dumplings, both fried and soup. Out of my expectation, the dumplings tastes awful. Mushy dumpling dough, little filling with overpowering meat flavour. No texture and no flavour at all. Other dishes like chicken wings and spring onion fried eggs are ok. I won’t think it is a worth eating restaurant in Japan given there are so much more better options.

It’s an unassuming dining hole but the food is unexpectedly good!

gyoza is not as good as expected it to be. staff were not as accommodating. restaurant allows indoor smoking

The gyoza was awesome! They just melted in your mouth and had the right amount of crunch. The flavor was addictive and went well with a glass of beer. The chicken skin was also a nice surprise. The flavor was smoky, fatty, salty and vinegary. It is a great drinking snack. Overall, I would highly recommend to visit.

Good gyoza; crusty skin type-their specialty.An order for 1 pax serves 7 little portions.Other small eats available also.Basically a watering hole and small eatery of sorts.Avoid if you are adverse to cigarette smoke.

Nice location for an impromptu get together with some friends over some ice cold beer and freshly prepared gyoza with friends.

Very nice

Nice beef

Very Nice

Great experience! chicken thigh is crispy outside and juicy inside, beer is sweet, squid is tender. Great value and flavor, friendly service.

(Translated by Google) Overrated I admit it's reasonably priced, but if you ask me if it's delicious, I'd give it a question mark. Whenever I went it was always full and they asked if I had a reservation, so I was super excited when I just dropped in and it was empty, but despite my high expectations I was disappointed that it wasn't that good. I now understand that the reason it's always full isn't because it's delicious, but because you can reserve a bottle of shochu for 2,000 yen. I now understand that there's no way a restaurant could be delicious if it has a sign on the entrance door that says it has Japanese-style toilets. It's very disappointing, as my expectations were high. (Original) 過大評価 リーズナブルなのは認めるんですが、めちゃめちゃうまいかって聞かれたら?マーク。 いつ行っても満席で、予約してますかと聞かれてたんで、ふらっと行って空いてた時はすこぶるテンション上がったんですが、期待が大きい反面、たいして美味くないのにはがっかりしました。 いつも満席の理由は美味いからじゃなく、焼酎ボトルが一本2,000円でキープできるからなんだなぁと納得した次第です。 飲食店の入り口ドアに和式便所ですって書いてある美味い店があるわけないなと納得した次第です。 期待値が高かった分、非常に残念です。
