As it was Happy Hour from 5pm to 6:30pm, we got beer, whisky with soda and Oden (my recommendation is radish!) at half the price!! All dishes were high-quality and reasonable!! If you want to try Japanese dishes in Kokura, you should try this restaurant!!! Muy delicioso!! 맛있었어~~추천이에요!!

My wife and I were determined to try a different restaurant in Kitakyushu on our trip there this time so we decided to walk around the main shopping street area and its alley to see what was available. We walked by Robata Aoki the first time and looked at the menu. It was in English and was very t...empting but we had just started exploring. After a little while, we headed back to Robata Aoki because the food looked good and they seemed English friendly. When we walked in, we got all the usual greetings and a very friendly waiter sat us at the bar. While most of the waiters did not speak English well, it was enough for us to order along with some finger pointing at delicious looking pictures. The English menu was quite extensive but probably not as extensive as the Japanese menu. There was plenty to pick from and the variety ran the range from great looking seafood to excellent yakitoris. They also had delicious oden. It was definitely a good place to get a beer or sake along with excellent tapa-style japanese food. We started with 10 sticks of the chicken yakitori and it was excellent. We then moved on to the grilled squid and beef tongue which were also cooked perfectly. We finally finished with a light bowl of oden. I could have probably eaten more but I was more than happy with what we had. Kitakyushu has definitely gotten more tourist friendly over the past few years. Robata Aoki is definitely one of those that seem to be interested in bringing in the tourist business. I think the friendly staff, the English menu, and the absolutely delicious robata/yakitori will have me coming back in the future!
