Friday night in June 2023 - My daughter loves Jolly Pasta and always asks to go there for lunch this time of year. She's a big fan of the cold Capellini dish. But she's only free at night due to her part-time job, so we had to go in the evening. I wanted to have a drink since we were driving there, but had to give up on that. When we arrived, I noticed they had switched to ordering with tablets. Each menu item had a number assigned to it, so you had to input the number. Prices are all tax-included. My daughter ordered the luxurious Uni and seafood cream sauce Capellini, garlic toast set, spinach and bacon butter sauté, and special tiramisu. She ordered so much! I had the Uni and seafood cream sauce Capellini, onion gratin soup, and a drink bar. My husband ordered the creative Japanese-style pasta with assorted meats and a pizza set with a choice of mayo corn pizza. Surprisingly delicious! The cold pasta had more Uni than usual, and it was a tasty and enjoyable meal. Thank you for another great year, Jolly Pasta!

When I suddenly crave pasta, I always go for the convenient Jolly Pasta and usually order something in a tomato-based or aglio e olio style. Today is hot, so I ordered the "Cold Capellini with Shrimp and Salmon Roe in Spicy Cod Roe Sauce." It was refreshing and the saltiness of the cod roe was just right. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

◉Genre: Pasta, Pizza ◉Area: Hakata, Kokurakita-ku, Kitakyushu City ◉Access: Within 20 minutes from JR Tobata Station ◉Parking: Available ◉Credit Card Payment: Accepted ◉Frequency of Use: Multiple times ◉Number of Reviews: 1st visit On this day, I casually visited "Jolly Pasta Hakata Store". ◇Exterior and Interior This pasta restaurant is located in Hakata, Kokurakita-ku, Kitakyushu City. It is a large chain with multiple stores nationwide. The exterior has a unified Western-style design. The interior is predominantly wooden with scattered Western-style elements, and the background music also follows the same theme. The restaurant is non-smoking. ◇Seating There are about 70 seats in total, with tables of various sizes. The seating arrangement is relatively close. ◇Menu Structure The menu consists of regular items and seasonal specials. The regular menu includes pasta, pizza, risotto, gratin, appetizers, desserts, etc. They also offer lunch menus, and seasonal specials are introduced through commercials. I ordered the following item: - Chicken and Grated Spicy Cod Roe with Butter Soy Sauce (730 yen) → Including tax 803 yen As the title suggests, I fell for the commercial hook! I originally intended to try the "Japanese-style Carbonara with Fragrant Black Sesame and Shichimi Pepper" (tax-included 1,199 yen), but I decided to try a new addition from the regular menu, a Japanese-style pasta that I don't usually eat. The dish had a savory soy sauce flavor with added butter, creating a rich Japanese-style taste. In simple terms, it was a combination of soy sauce, butter, and chicken, with the addition of spicy cod roe for a unique touch. To balance the richness, grated daikon radish, shiso leaves, and radish sprouts were added. The flavors were all over the place in my mouth, creating a messy yet intriguing pasta dish. ◆Strong Points Consistently good flavors. ◆Service Polite... I guess. ◆Summary My wife always falls for their commercials, and now I have fallen for them too. Looking forward to the next new release. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience. Thank you for the meal.

The store is located near Seinan Women's University in Ogura Kita Ward, so I think there are many young women customers here. During tea time, the atmosphere is quiet with sparse customers compared to lunch time. I had a craving for cream pasta and decided to visit the Shirohagi store after a long time. Although the space is not very big, the sunlight was shining through the window on this day, making it a pleasant experience. The crab carbonara pasta had a good crab flavor with a creamy sauce that coated the noodles well, providing a satisfying meal. I enjoyed scooping up the leftover cream sauce with garlic toast. The drink bar area was neatly organized, which was impressive. I relaxed while sipping on sparkling Chardonnay (made from red and white grapes) and hot black tea (using a cassis orange tea bag).

Well, it's just average.

I passed by the store on my way to work, so I came to eat once (*￣∇￣)ノ However, at that time, I didn't use Tabelog, so I didn't take any pictures Ψ(￣∇￣)Ψ(￣∇￣)Ψ This time, I visited after a long time, and they were having a "Sea Urchin Fair," so I enjoyed a pasta with sea urchin (゜∇^d)!! The old men sitting next to me were like, "I won't eat pasta" "Oh really? Then what will you have?" "Oh, I'll have pizza" "Well then, I'll have spaghetti." ...It's fine, but when my order of luxurious sea urchin soy sauce pasta for 1,090 yen and chowder with a drink bar set for 420 yen arrived, they were like, "Ohhh |ﾟДﾟ)))" and looking at it, and they left half of the pizza they ordered... And then on the way out, "If I say I'll pay, I'll pay" "Thank you for the meal" "Here, I'll pay, do you want to eat the leftover pizza?" ...You guys are so annoying... Oh, the drink bar has Earl Grey, Cabernet, Chardonnay, and sparkling water (*￣∇￣*)

[Menu, etc.] 1500 yen limited-time pasta + salad, etc. [Store Features ① <Taste & Interior, etc.>] When it comes to local pasta in Kyushu, Jolly Pasta is the place I used to visit near my high school. So, I still use it often because of the familiarity! The taste is classic Italian with basil, tomato sauce, pizza, all having a quality that is not like homemade, but rather like a specialty store. There are various sauces that evoke the seasons. The interior is Western-style with a calm atmosphere, wooden tables, and light orange lighting. [Store Features ② <Users, etc.>] Couples use it a lot, but it is mainly popular among mom friends, girls' gatherings, and high school girls. It might take some courage for a man to visit alone. [Access Situation, etc.] There is a clear sign in cursive above that says Jolly Pasta. The store faces a main street, so access is easy! However, the nearest station is Kokura Station, which is far away. [Points to Note When Using, etc.] First of all, it doesn't seem like they welcome solo customers... It's a family restaurant, so if you really want to eat pasta, don't stop by! The taste is authentic and high-quality! However, it might be a challenge after eating because there are many female employees. [Impressions ① <Recommendations, etc.>] If you want to casually enjoy authentic pasta, Jolly Pasta is the go-to place in the local area. However, it might be a bit intimidating for men... So, if you're not alone, you can feel free to walk in. Also, the seasonal limited-time items are recommended! Enjoy the unique flavors of the season by visiting the store. [Impressions ② <Key Points>] For local residents, Jolly Pasta is the place to go when you want to indulge in a luxurious treat once in a while, apart from the homemade taste of pasta at home. It's a pasta specialty store known for its authentic pasta, a go-to spot for family restaurants.

Caesar salad for around 745 yen, and a hearty Bolognese with plenty of beef (noodles & extra sauce) for 1231 yen. I made a reservation online and went to buy it. I had tried the Bolognese before and it was really delicious with lots of beef chunks. The Caesar salad was also tasty with fresh vegetables. I thought I would try a different menu next time. Today, on April 15th, is Helicopter Day. This day was established in 1986 by the All Japan Air Transport Business Federation. It is in honor of the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci, who was born in 1452 and invented the principles of the helicopter. The purpose of the day is to promote the importance of helicopters.
