Grilled dumplings x 2 (570 yen each) + boiled tripe (498 yen) + draft beer (600 yen) = 2238 yen. I had an early dinner. When I casually walked in, the restaurant was almost full. It seemed like a group was having a lively party. I was seated at the only available spot at the end of the counter near the entrance. It was scorching hot outside, but the air conditioning inside felt nice. The cold beer tasted great on my sweaty body. The boiled tripe with vinegar soy sauce and yuzu pepper was refreshing and suited my mood. The bite-sized dumplings, 20 pieces for 2 servings, were so delicious that I finished them in no time, although I felt like having more. Since it was a lovely night in Fukuoka, I decided to resist the temptation and try another place. When I went to pay and leave, the staff apologized for seating me at the corner. I hadn't even noticed, so I felt embarrassed. Such a comment might be a sign that they pay attention to their customers.

On the way back from drinking with colleagues at a company, we decided to stop by and have a little more to drink. We had grilled dumplings, boiled dumplings, and vinegar tripe as snacks with beer. There are many delicious dumpling restaurants in Fukuoka, but this place has been popular for many years and the taste is consistently good. We were lucky to be guided to a tatami room, which was full of customers. Truly impressive, like Temujin! Personally, I really like the boiled dumplings as a way to finish off the drinking session. They were delicious as always on this day.

Mr. Temujin, the owner of this place, serves the best small-sized dumplings. We ordered 15 pieces per person and they were gone in no time, excellent! The vinegar motsu is also excellent! The leek and egg topping is the best! The fried chicken wings are crispy and delicious! This time, we also tried the hormone udon, which left a strong impression. Thank you for the delicious meal (^｡^) #FukuokaGourmet #PopularRestaurantWithLines

It's been a while since I visited. Temujin, with its main store in the young people's town of Daimyo, is a great place to grab a quick meal. There were many tourists around, but I noticed a few people dining alone at the counter, both men and women. I was also one of those solo diners. It's nice to be able to enjoy a quick drink and meal by myself.

I tried walking to Nakasu for a solo drink after the first round, but couldn't find a place that seemed welcoming for solo customers. After walking 20,000 steps, I ended up back in Tenjin next to the first venue. I ordered a draft beer and a plate of 10 pan-fried dumplings. The restaurant was surprisingly empty, probably because it was a Sunday. There were no condiments like vinegar, soy sauce, or seven-spice chili on the table, so I added some chili oil to the dumplings. The dumpling skins were very sticky, but the flavor of garlic was strong. Despite that, the meat and vegetables inside were light and easy to eat.

It had been a while since I last visited Temujin. This was my first time at a famous restaurant. There was always a line in front of the store, and when I arrived, there were about 5 people ahead of me. The turnover was fast, so I was seated in about 10 minutes. First, I ordered the grilled dumplings, boiled dumplings, and leek omelette. The dumplings were being cooked in a large iron pot behind the counter. They were bite-sized, so I could easily eat them. The thin skin was crispy on the outside and filled with plenty of vegetables and beef inside. I dipped them in vinegar soy sauce and chili oil. I immediately felt like eating white rice, so I ordered a rice set. There was no option for rice alone, it came with soup and pickled vegetables. I ordered about two more servings for two people each, so I think we had about 50 grilled dumplings in total. I wanted to order fried rice as well, but I was too full, so maybe next time.

This shop has started lunch service about a month ago. Today, I was planning to go to a restaurant a little further away, but I couldn't resist my hunger and ended up entering this place. In May, there were tourists coming in, and at times there were lines, but luckily it was not busy today. Looking at the menu, they offer two types of Gyoza set meals: 10 pieces and 20 pieces. Surprisingly, there are also menu items like Chicken Nanban and Karaage, not just Gyoza. I wish they had an option to add a few Gyoza to other menu items, but you can only choose between 10 or 20 pieces of Gyoza. I ordered the 10-piece Gyoza set for 850 yen. The Gyoza that came out were small, and I felt like there was not enough satisfaction. You can get free rice refills, but since I needed more Gyoza, I finished my first bowl of rice with the side dishes and then moved on to the Gyoza. It would be nice if they offered Gyoza in a regular size or even a jumbo size instead of sticking to the bite-size tradition.

After visiting two izakayas, it's time for the third spot! Even though we've eaten a lot, when alcohol is involved, we can always eat more. The perfect pairing with a cold beer - grilled dumplings to finish off the night! The restaurant has about 50 seats, including counter, table, and tatami seating. Without even looking at the menu, we ordered the specialty along with some cold beer. After a short 10-minute wait, the grilled dumplings arrived at our table. They were perfectly browned and looked delicious. Dipping them in vinegar soy sauce, we took a bite. The aroma of the filling spread in our mouths - a mix of pork, cabbage, leeks, and a hint of garlic. The crispy vegetables and chewy skin were a great combination. Instead of chili oil, they offered yuzu pepper as a condiment, which was a nice touch. With each bite of dumpling followed by a gulp of beer, we felt content and happy. Besides dumplings, they have a variety of other appetizers to enjoy, making it a great spot for a first stop as well. Next time, we'll have to try more dishes!

After work, I visited Temujin Daimyo-ten for the first time! I had vinegar motsu, grilled dumplings, tonkotsu soup dumplings, and yangnyeom chicken. When Kanto people go to eat Hakata dumplings, they often say they are small! These cute dumplings are bite-sized and have a reliable and delicious taste that makes you want to eat as many as you can. You can also watch the cooking process at the counter. It's a great place where you can even enjoy drinking alone. Thank you for the meal!

It was my first visit in a while and I felt like the restaurant had become cleaner! This time, I ordered grilled dumplings, fried rice, boiled dumplings, fried squid legs, leek and egg, mixed noodles with spicy cod roe, and vinegar tripe. The dumplings were quite garlicky, and the grilled dumplings' skin wasn't crispy. If you imagine a cast iron pot dumpling, you might feel like "it's not as crispy as I thought," so please think of it as a different dish when you go. The boiled dumplings had a gentle soup, and the garlicky dumplings paired well with it. Personally, I thought it was tastier than the grilled dumplings. I would have preferred the tripe to be cut thinner and smaller. Surprisingly, the leek and egg dish was delicious, with a good balance of soy sauce and pepper seasoning that made you crave white rice!

I ordered the grilled dumplings (480 yen), a bite-sized Hakata specialty with a mild flavor. I enjoyed it by rubbing red yuzu pepper on it. I come from Utsunomiya, so I tend to prioritize cost performance. I also ordered the limited quantity grilled liver (540 yen), which was nicely cooked and had a flavorful liver taste without any unpleasant smell. I wish there were more pieces though. Lately, I've been into fried rice, so I ordered the popular menu item at Temujin, the grilled rice (750 yen). It had a simple appearance (moist type), but the unique flavor and richness made it a very delicious dish. It was even better with yuzu pepper rubbed on it. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. I also ordered the special sauce for the beef sagari (1,100 yen). The beef sagari had a rich flavor, and the special sauce lived up to its name. It's a menu item that will definitely make you crave for white rice, so be careful. I wish I had left some fried rice... I regret it.

Temujin is famous for their delicious dumplings, so we ordered about 40 of them to share. They were so tasty that we could have eaten even more. The dumplings had garlic in them, which added to the flavor. We also ordered a few side dishes. The restaurant was busy, but the staff were friendly and helpful.

While exploring the area around Daimyo, I suddenly craved some pan-fried dumplings and ended up at this restaurant. It was past 8:30 PM, and the atmosphere at the counter was very relaxed. I watched as they stretched the dough and wrapped the dumplings right in front of me before cooking them. The chewy texture of the dough was amazing and I enjoyed watching the process. I ended up ordering 20 dumplings but couldn't resist adding another 15 because they were so delicious.

Hello, it's Ribot here. Fresh review. Until 5/1 it's Ramadan, but work wasn't going as planned and I was getting frustrated, so I decided the day before that today I would either go drinking or have ramen! As soon as the clock chimed, I punched out my time card and left work. On the way from the office to the station, I happened to meet a colleague and friend from Tobata and vented my frustrations to him. He said, "It's rare to hear you complain like that - alright, I'll join you for a drink!" So, without getting off at our usual station, we stayed on the train all the way to Hakata Station. I briefly thought we might end up in Omuta at the end, but my friend vetoed that idea (laughs). We decided on a place to go somewhat randomly, but my friend suggested going to the main branch of "Temujin." He's a true-born Kitakyushu (Tobata) local, but I also have connections to Hakata, so I've been to this place a few times before, but hadn't posted on Tabelog, so I agreed. It's a super famous shop from way back. We ordered bottled beer, vinegar tripe, and yakisoba. And also both pan-fried and boiled dumplings. The vinegar tripe is a classic and still delicious! A Fukuoka specialty that you only occasionally see in Osaka. Why isn't it more popular when it's this good? I promptly ordered another beer. The yakisoba has a taste that's like a typical Chinese dish in a casual way. To put it simply, it's like "Gyoza no Ohsho" style. But with ingredients like kamaboko, it has that Fukuoka touch. The dumplings have a reliable, stable taste. The boiled dumplings are also tasty, but the real highlight is the bite-sized pan-fried dumplings! We've decided to go all out and hit multiple spots, but we can easily down two pieces in one go. As for the title story, there was a time when back then, when Ohsan, who was the manager of the Daiei Hawks at the time (not Softbank), came in and I was surprised. At that time, the Hawks culture wasn't as established as it is now, so it didn't cause a big commotion. I'm a die-hard Hanshin Tigers fan, so I wasn't particularly interested in Ohsan because he came from the enemy team (Giants). (Back then, cell phones didn't have cameras, and digital cameras weren't as common (revealing my age (laughs)), so I didn't take any photos or get any autographs, but I do remember being a little moved by how gentlemanly he was with the staff and the hardcore fans. ===========

I dropped by the restaurant around 6 o'clock in the evening. I ordered a serving of dumplings and a beer. The small-sized dumplings were delicious as always. I also ordered fried rice as an extra, and it made for a quick and satisfying dinner. The fried rice had eggs, fish cake, onions, and green onions, giving it a spicy and flavorful taste.

I arrived at "Temujin," located about a 7-minute walk from Akasaka Station in Fukuoka Prefecture. Among the many izakayas in the area, I was looking for a place where I could drink from lunchtime, and I found this place! They serve lunch until 3 pm, with last orders at 3:30 pm, so I just made it in time. When I arrived before 3 pm, I saw solo diners enjoying a late lunch and groups having a good time drinking. The clientele was diverse! I ordered the grilled gyoza (480 yen), a must-try when in Fukuoka. It had a strong ginger and garlic flavor, with a crispy texture. The skin was not too chewy but rather soft, with a strong wheat taste. The first bite had a juicy impact from the black pork used in the filling. Next, I ordered the limited quantity item, "kimo steak" (500 yen). This was my first time seeing this menu item. The grilled liver had a crispy texture and a savory aroma, with the umami of the liver spreading in the mouth. It was a perfect dish for drinking. Overall, it seemed like a great place for a casual drink or a lunch outing. Thank you for the meal!

(Visit 3 in 2022) In the latter half of March on a weekday. I came to Fukuoka again this season to watch the preseason games - Part 4. The game for the day had ended, so it was time for dinner (even though it was already around 9:30 pm). However, I wasn't really hungry because I had been drinking and eating since noon. The restaurant I was aiming for was there, but I decided to prioritize the restaurants I had been looking forward to trying during this trip, so I headed to a place near my accommodation where I could eat something light. I arrived at "Gyoza no Temujin Daimyo Store" (^_^)♪ Address: 1-11-2 Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City Business Hours: Weekdays 5:00 pm - 12:00 am, Saturday 11:00 am - 12:00 am, Sunday/Holidays 11:00 am - 11:00 pm Closed: Irregular holidays Seating: 50 seats Parking: Not available Smoking: Smoking allowed The restaurant is located about a few minutes southeast from Akasaka Station on the Fukuoka City Subway. The Daimyo area has narrow streets and many small buildings, creating a cozy atmosphere. The restaurant was established in 1963. The first-generation owner, who trained at a gyoza restaurant in Nakasu, opened this restaurant independently. The seasoning of the gyoza is his original recipe, different from the place where he trained. The name of the restaurant comes from the childhood name of the Mongolian hero Genghis Khan, "Temujin". (Originally suggested to use the name Genghis Khan, but it was considered too intimidating, so the childhood name was adopted) There are a total of 8 stores in Fukuoka City, Tokyo (Ikebukuro), and Osaka (Umeda). I arrived around 10 pm. I checked with the staff if it was okay to enter, and they said it was fine, so I went in. The counter seats were not yet available, so I sat at a large table to the right of the entrance. There were also sunken kotatsu seats, but they were occupied by a group having a small party. - Draft Beer Gyoza goes well with beer! - Vinegar Motsu (tripe) I used this as an appetizer while waiting for the gyoza to cook. They explained to adjust the taste with the ponzu sauce and spicy yuzu pepper on the table. I put on a moderate amount and enjoyed it. - Pan-Fried Gyoza The gyoza was served after waiting for about 5-6 minutes. The color of the pan-fried gyoza was a bit lacking (sorry!), but let's try it. It's a bite-size gyoza, a local specialty. I expected it to have a punchy flavor based on the restaurant's name. However, it turned out to be rather light. It made sense that they provided spicy yuzu pepper on the table. Adding a bit too much was just right (*^^*) I quickly finished the remaining beer and ordered another drink. - Highball For the second round, I had a highball. The fizziness goes well with the gyoza. There were other menu items I wanted to try, but I was already full, so I called it a day. It was a long-established gyoza restaurant that also serves as an izakaya. Thank you for the meal♪

Visited around 8 o'clock on a normal day. Apart from group tables, all seats were taken. Ordered a serving of 10 dumplings and a beer. The dumplings were delicious without any complaints. The skin was small, slightly chewy but not too thick, filled with finely chopped filling. I enjoyed them with yuzu pepper. I couldn't stop eating, but managed to finish just one serving that day. It cost 1030 yen. Honestly, the cost performance may not be the best. However, what impressed me the most was the service provided by the lady who seemed to be the owner. Despite the restaurant's popularity and busyness, she provided a lovely service... It made me feel really good. Thank you very much!

Temujin-san, at the main branch, I had gyoza, stir-fried beef skirt, garlic chive and egg dish, tantanmen with special sauce, udon, fried rice. The food was delicious, the strong heat from the wok created a wonderful aroma, and the sound of the wok was also appetizing. They make the gyoza skins right in front of you, it's amazing. Just as I remembered, the food was impressive. It's great to experience the main branch, each location has its own menu so trying different ones is a good idea. There are also branches in Umeda and Ikebukuro, but the one in Shinjuku is gone. I used to like the Tianjin rice in Umeda. Sometimes the taste can vary depending on the staff as they are part-timers. I wonder if it's a franchise? Knowing the deliciousness of the main branch is essential.

I visited Temujin in Fukuoka, a famous gyoza restaurant. I was surprised by the low prices. Sitting at the counter, I could see the staff wrapping the filling right in front of me, which added to the experience. I ordered gyoza and grilled hormone. The food arrived quickly. When I tried it, I could taste the perfect sweetness of onions and vegetables, as well as a unique sweetness from using beef. I also sensed garlic, although I'm not sure if it was in there. It wasn't overpowering, but everything was just right and delicious. Thank you for the meal!
