I visited this place for the first time. The entrance was a bit hard to find because the sign was small, and 3/4 people passed by without noticing it, haha. Once inside, the atmosphere was better than I expected, and it was a smoking-friendly place which was great for smokers. The food was delicious and had a wide variety. I left feeling satisfied with the cost performance! Especially the bonito straw-grilled dish and mackerel hot pot rice were exquisite beyond their price. There was only one person serving in the hall on the day I visited, so it was a bit disappointing that they were slow to respond when called, but despite that, I would definitely visit again!

■ Overall impression I attended a study group with the same members before and had a good time, so I decided to go again for a different occasion. This time, it felt like the grade was a bit lower. Last time, everyone was into drinking, but this time it was a bit more subdued, which made the atmosphere of the drinking party quieter. However, time flew by quickly, so I felt a bit unsatisfied. I still opted for the all-you-can-drink option this time. The menu was mostly the same, so I was unsure about what to write in my review. But I wasn't as drunk as last time, so I believe this review is more accurate. ■ Homemade Chawanmushi This was the homemade chawanmushi that was also available last time. It had that familiar, gentle taste that I enjoy. ■ Seasonal Fresh Vegetable Caesar Salad Just like last time, the Caesar salad with fresh seasonal vegetables was delicious. Starting with a salad felt like a girls' night out vibe. ■ Seasonal Sashimi Last time it was carpaccio, but this time it was sashimi. It's nice that it changes according to the season. ■ Today's Fried Dish This menu was the same as last time. The impression was that it tasted better last time. This was the reason for the overall decline. I wonder what was different. ■ Garlic Sauteed Enoki Mushrooms and Cherry Tomatoes This was different from last time, but looking at the photo and tasting it, it felt the same. Hmm. ■ Kumamoto Herb Chicken Charcoal Grilled This was the specialty dish. I thought the straw was for flavoring, but my companions had no reaction at all. It seemed like it had been a while since they had dined out, and I felt like we were on opposite ends of the spectrum. ■ Seasonal Clay Pot Rice This was the last dish. Personally, I still prefer to have dessert, but oh well. Thank you for the meal.

I used this restaurant for a study group members' drinking party. It was my first time using it, but I remember the old name was "Kura-In ZONE." I think there used to be a place called Kura-In on the west side over 10 years ago. That place was quite stylish, and this one was amazing too. Even though it was a men-only drinking party, it had a vibe that was very popular with women. It felt like there was a pond nearby. So, I think it's good for that kind of use. By the way, the food was of a very high standard and ranks high among the izakayas on the Chikushi side. You can add an all-you-can-drink option for an additional 1500 yen, which helps keep the cost down. ■Homemade Chawanmushi It's cool that the chawanmushi is transparent. The era of eating with your eyes is over, huh? Well, I like chawanmushi, so I'm personally happy. The taste is gentle and nice, not too strong, which is more appealing to women (since many men tend to like strong flavors. *I'm okay with both strong and light flavors as long as it's delicious). ■Seasonal Fresh Vegetable Caesar Salad When I ask the women what kind of salad they like, I feel like Caesar salad is probably the most popular (I feel like there are no izakayas near Hakata Station that don't have Caesar salad). I think it's because both the dressing and the vegetables need to be delicious. And here, both were good. ■Sashimi or Carpaccio I think it was yellowtail. The carpaccio was firm and that was nice. Also, the spacing between the dishes was good, so you could pick up the food with chopsticks even without serving chopsticks. ■Today's Fried Dish Personally, the best was this one. It was crispy, but more importantly, the delicious young corn was a sure thing. ■Ajo Blanco Shrimp and eringi mushroom ajo blanco is another sure thing. A memorable quote from the junior colleague I was with was, "When I had ajo blanco for the first time, it was so delicious that I drank up the olive oil." The combination of garlic, chili pepper, and olive oil makes it incredibly delicious. ■Meat Dish Specialty!! Itoshima pork and herb chicken straw-grilled. This is the main dish. It looks nice, and straw grilling is mainly for flavoring, as it's actually cooked normally (it's impossible to cook thoroughly with straw). Grilling chicken takes time, but if it's tasty chicken, it's OK. ■Rice Seasonal clay pot cooked rice. This mixed rice at the end was also delicious. It was a nice finish. Thank you for the meal.

It's a 5000 yen all-you-can-drink course. Starting with sashimi of locally sourced sea bream from Nagasaki, and ending with mackerel clay pot rice. Featuring delicious ingredients from Kyushu and chicken grilled over straw, as well as mushroom and shrimp ajillo. The fact that all rooms are semi-private adds to the cozy atmosphere. Thank you for the feast!

It was very relaxing and calm, and the atmosphere was great once I settled down! It's a smoking-friendly restaurant. I tried the recommended course and it was delicious! I want to try other dishes next time, so I will definitely come back.

The sign said "straw-grilled" but the bonito tataki was not grilled, the charcoal-grilled shiitake was cold and also not grilled. I was surprised to find a restaurant like this, so I paid and left because I felt like my time was wasted.

Dining Waranohi is a hidden gem near Hakata Station, with a concept of great taste, atmosphere, and reasonable prices. The restaurant mainly offers private rooms where guests can experience exquisite dishes and excellent culinary presentation by walking on a stone path. Once you visit, you will truly feel that there are no lies in the saying "No lies to food researcher Smiley."

I was surprised by the unique method of first grilling with straw and then lava grilling when I visited this restaurant for the first time.

The menu is extensive with many unique dishes! The food was delicious and the staff was friendly and welcoming (ˊo̶̶̷ᴗo̶̶̷`)

I was able to relax and spend a leisurely time in a calm atmosphere.

The grilled dishes and staff service were excellent!

The rice was delicious, and everyone was delighted to have the straw-grilled dishes prepared right in front of them.

Great atmosphere. Excellent service. Good value for money. Suitable for a date.

It was very delicious! The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice too! However, the food took a long time to come out.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was great and the staff were friendly. However, there was poor ventilation during the straw-grilling and the menu sometimes differed from what was listed due to sourcing issues. I also wish they had more options for the all-you-can-drink menu.

Atmosphere: Cost performance ratio

Caesar salad, grilled straw, sweet and savory chicken skin, delicious.
