I visited the restaurant right after it opened in the evening, and there were only two groups of customers before me. The interior of the restaurant is very spacious, and I was allowed to choose where to sit, so I chose a table by the window. I remember there used to be a restaurant in front of Ijiri Station when I was a child, maybe (I could be mistaken). I also visited the branch at Hakata Station's Daimaru, but it closed, which is a shame. I have visited the main branch here a few times when it was in the old building. It has been an important restaurant in my life. It is a slightly upscale Chinese restaurant, but the lunch and individual dishes are not too expensive. I was undecided on what to order, but the staff recommended the Hakata Champon, which costs 1,100 yen including tax. I love Champon, so I decided to try it. The Champon came in a big bowl with lots of vegetables. I was surprised to see that the shrimp and squid had a coating on them, like fritters. This was a pleasant surprise as I had never seen this before. The soup is likely made from chicken bones and is rich, with a layer of oil forming if left untouched. The noodles were thick but a bit soft, breaking easily. The revival of the Suan La Tang Mian on the menu caught my attention, and the Eight Treasure Vegetable Dish also looked delicious. I will have to visit again to try them. It's a shame that the branch at Hakata Station is no longer there. You tend to appreciate things more once they are gone.

Hakata Yakusenkaku is a great place to eat - delicious, quick, and affordable. The parking is easy and the cost performance is good. We ordered A A's sweet and sour pork with mixed vegetables lunch set, as well as another order of A A's mixed vegetables and Yu Lin Chi lunch set.

■Overall impression I feel like I have been to this place before, but it seems like it was a newly opened restaurant with a different name, so I decided to give it a try. By the way, there was a long waiting line. Also, I felt that the food was tastier compared to the restaurant I visited before. ■Dan Dan noodles + Fried rice There are various combinations available, but I decided to go with this combination. Personally, I prefer the fried rice at another restaurant, but it's still great to have affordable Chinese food around Hakata Station. Thank you for the meal.

There were many people wearing suits around. There seems to be more variety than at Hsien-Ku. The appetizer platter, char siu, and the unusual fried rice were provided very slowly. Maybe they were busy. Other dishes were served smoothly. I think the dishes served are more delicious than at Hsien-Ku.

I visited a reasonably priced Chinese restaurant located in Hakata-ku, Hakata Station Higashi, Fukuoka City, about a 6-minute walk from Hakata Station. The place had a large storefront, but the prices were reasonable, catering to weekday office workers who couldn't afford expensive meals. I arrived at around 11:30 AM and decided to splurge a bit by ordering two dishes: Sweet and Sour Shrimp Stir-Fry for 1,100 yen and Char Siu Fried Rice for 1,000 yen. I realized later that there was a half portion of fried rice available, but it was too late. The dishes arrived promptly, with a plate of about 10 shrimp tempura coated in a sweet and sour sauce. The shrimp seemed to be frozen, lacking the desired texture, but the sauce was delicious. I finished all the precious shrimp without leaving any behind. The separate plate of fried rice contained plenty of diced char siu stir-fried with leeks and eggs. The fried rice was cooked well in a hot wok, with a perfect balance of soy sauce and salt and pepper seasoning. The small pieces of char siu left a pleasant sensation on the palate, and the egg was cooked beautifully. They say you can judge a Chinese restaurant by its fried rice, and this one certainly lived up to that reputation. My taste buds were definitely pleased. I won't disclose how much I ate, but I took digestive enzymes right after. I plan to visit again to try the lunch set that the office workers were enjoying. The restaurant has a convenient parking lot, making it a practical choice for dining out.

(2022.08.12) Located about a 5-minute walk from Hakata Station on Chikushi Street, which is home to Fukushinrou, established in 1904 during the Meiji period, and Peace Rou, which unfortunately closed in March this year, is one of Fukuoka's leading long-established Chinese restaurants. In 2011, in an effort to bring in a new vibe during the building renovation, a new restaurant called "Lotus Soh" was opened on the second floor of the same building, produced by Chef Wakiya, a pioneer of Nouvelle Chinoise. However, the contract for Lotus Soh ended last year in May, and it was renovated into their own brand, "Rainbow". I used to visit Lotus Soh many times as an acquaintance was the chef there, but since the restaurant changed and the chef returned to Tokyo, I haven't had the chance to visit. However, the other day, after having lunch nearby, I peeked in to see what had become of the place, and to my delight, my favorite dish, the "Spicy Dan Dan Noodles", was still on the menu. The restaurant itself remains unchanged, with its sophisticated and stylish atmosphere intact, but it seems that due to the pandemic, the seating has been slightly reduced. Today, being a weekday, they were offering a special menu for the Obon holiday, including options like White Sesame Dan Dan Noodles, Extra Spicy Dan Dan Noodles, Char Siu Noodles, and Char Siu Fried Rice. I decided to go for the "Select Lunch" where you can choose one dish from the select menu, and I opted for the Extra Spicy Dan Dan Noodles. Although it is listed as Extra Spicy Dan Dan Noodles, it actually refers to the Spicy Dan Dan Noodles I was aiming for. It felt a bit odd that the product name varies depending on the menu or promotional materials, and I think it would be better if it were unified as Spicy Dan Dan Noodles. The dish not only has a spicy kick from chili oil and Sichuan pepper, but also a deep sweetness from the chili peppers, allowing you to experience the complex umami of various spices used. The straight thin noodles with low water content that the soup clings to perfectly balance the dish, making it a satisfying and well-balanced delicacy that you can enjoy time and time again. The fried chicken served with three appetizers was decent enough for a local Chinese restaurant, but it had a hint of broiler smell and the coating was a bit too stiff, possibly due to excessive use of potato starch, which was disappointing for a restaurant of this caliber like Fukushinrou.

Visited again. Stayed at a nearby hotel on a secret trip. Got a meal voucher for 5000 yen and a local coupon for 2000 yen, so I could stay for 5500 yen. Ordered the expensive shark fin dish I saw on the menu last time. A warning from the staff that it's a lot, but I ate it all by myself. They said it would take about 40 minutes, but it arrived in 15 minutes. As I mentioned before, it's a nostalgic Chinese restaurant. Enjoyed the leisurely pace of the meal. All dishes were satisfying. When I feel tired from work, I want to come back here for a change of mood!

Cold Appetizer Trio + Hot and Sour Noodles - 2300 yen This time, I visited a restaurant that I don't usually go to. When I looked at the menu, it had a lineup of nostalgic Chinese dishes. I was curious about the cold dishes at this kind of restaurant, so I ordered them. The main dish was the hot and sour noodles. First, they served the trio of appetizers. Wow, it was truly classic Chinese cuisine. Everything was well-prepared. Also, they asked if it was okay to wait for the hot and sour noodles before serving them, which was wonderful. The taste was as expected and it was good. Sometimes it's nice to appreciate the old while embracing the new.

I found a restaurant affiliated with the long-established Chinese restaurant (Hassenkaku) that has several locations in Fukuoka. I missed lunch and searched for a place nearby that was still serving lunch even though it was almost 2 pm. The restaurant had a stylish and open atmosphere, similar to the previous restaurant that was here, which was called ○AKIYA. I had been to the previous restaurant a few times to try their "shark fin" dish, but now it seems to have taken a more casual route. The menu offered sets where you could choose a main dish, as well as sets with noodles and rice bowls. I opted for the set where you could choose two main dishes (1000 yen including tax). The weekly special dish was "sweet and sour pork," which had a slightly sweet miso sauce that was delicious. The sweet and sour pork was a classic dish and had a consistent flavor, with tender pork and a tasty sweet and sour sauce. The daikon radish salad was crunchy and refreshing. The egg soup had a nice thick consistency. The rice was tasty, and I was told that refills were possible. The almond jelly dessert was also delicious. The spacious environment allowed for a relaxing dining experience, even for solo diners.

Hakata-style plate udon with tempura of squid, scallop, and shrimp is delicious with a gentle and refined taste. The fried rice has plenty of small pieces of pork, making it very flavorful. I usually order my favorite dishes, but today I tried the lunch set. The flavors are elegant and delicious.

I used to go to a Chinese restaurant that was in this place before, but it closed down. In its place, a restaurant from the Hassenkaku group opened up. The interior remains stylish like the previous restaurant. Hassenkaku's Shrimp Chili (Beijing style) in sweet and sour chili sauce is delicious ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hassenkaku's Hakata plate udon ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hassenkaku's Chanpoko ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The taste is just like Hassenkaku, simply delicious and nostalgic. Thank you for the meal.

I tried the Spicy Tan Tan Men at the authentic Chinese restaurant, Hoshikai at the Chinese Eight Immortals Pavilion this time. The place is beautiful from the entrance and it's a stylish Chinese lunch spot. I wanted something spicy, so I chose this dish based on its appearance. The smell and appearance make you expect it to be really spicy, but it wasn't that spicy, haha. The taste is good though. Just lacked a bit of punch. The almond jelly for dessert was soothing. #Hakata lunch #Spicy Tan Tan Men #Chinese cuisine #Eight Immortals Pavilion #Not very spicy #Normal portion #Next time I'll try a different menu #Lunch course

Thank you for last night. There was a small mishap, but Matsuyama-san and the other staff members were warm and flexible in their response. I will definitely come back after working hard for a year. Thank you very much.

Fukuoka's long-established Chinese restaurant is sophisticated and reasonably priced. The plate udon and jumbo noodles are excellent!

I confirmed my visit to the main branch of Hassenkaku with a same-day reservation, but was unable to visit because a prior reservation was required... (perhaps due to the COVID-19 emergency situation?). However, it was mentioned that it was possible to visit Restaurant Nijiiro (Tsai Fon) without a reservation. It was my first visit to the Western Gas Building! The interior was like a hotel or department store, and I entered through an escalator while touring the building. As expected of Hassenkaku! Although it is a restaurant, it had a luxurious atmosphere with the hall staff welcoming us. We sat by the window overlooking Chikushi Street. Due to the COVID situation, there were only a few customers in the restaurant, and there were many empty seats. I imagine it would be bustling if not for the current circumstances. I had a refreshing draft beer, crispy chashu fried rice, crunchy spring rolls, mapo tofu, and mayonnaise stir-fried shrimp.

We used the restaurant with a group of 12 people. From the time of booking, we received advice on the menu and on the day of our visit, they accommodated our last-minute requests. We are very satisfied.

I used the beer garden. It was delicious.

The waiter's behavior was wonderful. It was a great impression of service. I had a great time!

The food was delicious, the service was excellent with attentive staff. It was great.
