Fantastic food, great service and a really good atmosphere. We came here twice in our week-long stay in Hakata-ku. The crowd was a mixture of couples, single people, families and business groups.

Kyushu Fukuoka seems to be a forgotten destination; especially so during/after the pandemic. Tourists have started to return, but there aren’t many current reviews on TripAdvisor & that doesn’t help! We had a delightful dinner for 3 of us. English menu available on ipad! (the menu on their websit...e is a little outdated) Service was prompt & helpful. The meal…. Salad - crispy bed of leaves topped with dried seaweed & this fantastic chewy kimchi flavoured dried meat that spiced up the salad perfectly! Broiled Squid Sashimi - raw squid thinly sliced plus sliced onion too torched at the dinner table; the moment the squid started to curl, we were more then ready to eat. It was barely just cooked, not tough & overdone but nice & succulent. Grilled Scallops topped with Ikura - indescribably good! (see photo!) Cheesy Prawn Hotplate - fondue at your table, see the prawns turn pink & cheese melt then toss it altogether & eat, heavenly! Deep-fried Spring Chicken done to juicy perfection served with a mayo dip. Chicken Pot Meal - rice cooked with chicken cubes & vegetable slices, flavoured with Jerusalem artichoke, best eaten with the unique chrysanthemum potato sauce (nice meal ending) And it wasn’t overpriced,
