Located within the premises of Tanpopo Market in Umi Town, Tori Yakiniku Kalbiya is a restaurant operated by a local butcher shop, offering the best value for money lunch options. The place is known for its affordable and delicious evening yakiniku, but I decided to revisit for lunch this time. Despite being newly opened, the restaurant was quite popular, with a short wait for a table. The interior is bright and clean, with both table seating and private rooms available. Children under elementary school age receive a free ice cream, which is a nice touch. I was seated in a private room and although I couldn't relax too much due to the waiting customers, the privacy of the room was comforting. The menu is extensive, offering a variety of options such as yakiniku lunch, tori yakiniku lunch, steak bowls, hamburgers, steak, beef sagari steak bowls, various set meals, donburi, yakisoba, curry rice, ramen, and more, all at very affordable prices. I ordered four different set meals that caught my eye. The Karaage Set Meal with extra rice and a miso soup upgrade to motsu soup was delicious, with juicy karaage and tasty kimchi on the side. The Tonkatsu Curry Set Meal with extra rice was also great, with crispy tonkatsu and flavorful curry. The Double Hamburger Set Meal with an egg on top and a miso soup upgrade to motsu soup was a hit, with delicious hamburgers, kimchi, and motsu soup that complemented each other perfectly. Lastly, the Beef Steak Bowl with extra meat and a miso soup upgrade to motsu soup was tender and tasty, especially when paired with kimchi and motsu soup. Overall, the restaurant offers amazing value for money with delicious food, and you can even shop for meat at Tanpopo Market on your way out. If you get the chance, definitely give it a try! #ToriYakinikuKalbiya #Yakiniku #UmiTown #TanpopoMarket #FukuokaGourmet #BestValueForMoney #PrivateRoomsAvailable #FreeIceCreamForChildrenUnderElementarySchool #Lunch #Curry #Karaage #Hamburger #SteakBowl #RamenLoverGarsoSan

I visited during the Obon holiday lunchtime. It was quite crowded! I think we waited for about an hour. We chatted with my friend while waiting and our turn came w. We were guided to a private tatami room, very relaxing. This place seems to be run by a butcher shop, offering high-quality meat at a reasonable price. We had the Steak Don with extra meat for 1511 yen. You can get free extra rice^^ There are many other attractive menu items as well. The flavor of the sagari beef in the Steak Don is irresistible. It's great to be able to enjoy this at this price. This place is definitely worth a repeat visit! Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by for lunch during work. I had seen this popular restaurant on TikTok or YouTube Shorts before and wanted to try it out. There were already several groups waiting when I arrived around 11:30. I ordered teppanyaki, where you cook your own meat on a hot iron plate according to your preference. It was a bit of a luxury for a work lunch, but I was satisfied.

Before heading to Uminomori Campsite in Umi Town on the weekend, I couldn't resist stopping by the highly recommended yakiniku restaurant "Karbiya" for lunch. Located inside the familiar Tanpopo Market JOINT premises. Despite the lack of the weekday 550 yen lunch menu on weekends, the place was quite busy. Luckily, we were seated in a private room since we were with kids. The menu was so enticing that many people had a hard time deciding what to order. The lunch sets ranged from 680 yen, and after much contemplation, we ordered the following: - Beef Steak Don (300g) with extra meat (1380 yen, free extra rice) - Hamburger Steak Set (680 yen, add hamburger 200 yen, change to motsu soup 150 yen, free extra rice) - Fried Chicken Set (680 yen, change to motsu soup 150 yen, free extra rice) - Pork Cutlet Curry (730 yen, free extra rice) - Soft Drink (150 yen) We shared two orders of each between two people, and the choices were overwhelming! The curry had a familiar, easy-to-like taste, similar to the popular Nile Curry, with a simple texture and no chunky ingredients. The pork cutlet on top was freshly fried and delicious, with just the right thickness and a perfect balance with the curry. The Fried Chicken Set was a hit last time we visited for dinner, so we decided to go with that this time, along with changing to motsu soup (150 yen). The extra rice was a nice touch, especially for families with kids or teenagers who love to eat a lot. The Double Hamburger Steak Set was also directly sourced from the meat shop, known for their quality meat products. Two sizzling hamburger steaks were served with a sunny-side-up egg and grilled vegetables, which were a delightful addition. The grilled vegetables were fresh and sweet, sourced from a nearby farm at the JOINT supermarket. We also changed the miso soup to motsu soup (150 yen) for this set, and it was delicious. Lastly, the slightly luxurious Steak Don (150g) for 800 yen or the extra meat option (300g) for 1380 yen were both great choices. The quality of the meat was excellent, with a tender texture and a savory sauce that made the extra rice disappear quickly. The generous portion and reasonable price made it a steal compared to other places. I usually order alcohol with my lunch, but this time, I was so satisfied with the food that I opted for a soft drink instead. The 150 yen soft drink came in a large glass, making me wonder if they were okay with such generous portions. Additionally, kids can get a free ice cream on the way out, which is truly a "godsend" in these times. I highly recommend visiting this place for a great meal experience! #yakiniku #highcostperformance #Karbiya #familyfriendlylunch #FukuokaYakiniku #FukuokaLunch #FukuokaGourmet #UmiTownGourmet #UmiTownYakiniku #KasuyaGourmet #KasuyaYakiniku #KobayashiFood #JOINT #Fukuoka #FukuokaGourmet #FukuokaTrip #FukuokaFoodie #Yakiniku

Located next to the meat shop "Kobayashi Shokuhin" in Umimachi, Kasuya District, there is a popular yakiniku restaurant run by the same meat shop, called "Tanpopo Market" (Super Joint). We visited with our family on a weekday evening. The lunch menu changes daily and costs 550 yen, which seems to be very popular, but the evening seemed relatively quiet. The restaurant has private rooms and booth seats, and the interior is much larger than it appears from the outside. Each private room is equipped with air conditioning and even power outlets. There is a gas grill in the center with a large duct to prevent smoke. The menu is extensive, with individual items available as well as set courses ranging from 1500 yen. This time, we opted for the course menu with all-you-can-drink option. The luxurious course for 3000 yen included white cabbage kimchi, chicken skin with ponzu sauce, edamame platter, vegetable salad, fried chicken, fried potatoes, a variety of meats, grilled vegetables, rice or chicken rice, and dessert (vanilla or lemon ice cream). We started with a platter of appetizers, fried chicken, and fried potatoes, along with beer. The fried chicken was exceptional! The platter of 7 meats included thick slices of beef tongue, Arita chicken, sausages, beef harami, wagyu chuck flap tail, Kinunokuni pork belly, and chicken thighs. Each meat was delicious, especially when paired with the two types of sauces provided. We also ordered some additional items like miso soup with plenty of tripe, horse meat yukhoe, kimchi, fried chicken, onion rings, and more. The meal was satisfying, and we ended with rice dishes like chicken rice, grilled rice with miso soup, and Karubiya ramen. The staff were always smiling and provided excellent service throughout the meal. The quality of the meat was exceptional for the price, and the overall experience was very pleasant. We even received complimentary ice cream for the kids at the end of the meal. We had a very satisfying dinner and would love to try their lunch menu next time!

Located in Umi-machi, Kasuya-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture, Toriyakiniku Kalbiya Joint Tanpopo Market offers generous portions of delicious meat at a reasonable price. With a wide variety of menu options and ample parking space, it's a must-visit spot for meat lovers. I visited on October 17, 2022, and was impressed by the quality of the food and the overall experience. If you're a fan of steak, barbecue, or just good food in general, this place is definitely worth checking out. #FukuokaGourmet #FukuokaLunch #FukuokaIzakaya #FukuokaYakiniku #FukuokaSteak #KasuyaGunGourmet #KasuyaGunLunch #KasuyaGunYakiniku #KasuyaGunSteak #UmiMachiGourmet #UmiMachiLunch #SteakLunch #GetAwayFromTheCity #MeatLover #SorryCows #MeatLovingCouple #AnythingSharingCouple #FoodieCouple #CouplesOfInstagram #GourmetInstagram

This is a yakiniku restaurant located along Prefectural Route 60 in Umi Town. I had lunch here before crossing the Shouke River. I was dining alone and was seated in a private room. I decided to order the yakiniku set meal from the lunch menu. After a short wait, my 748 yen yakiniku set meal was ready. The miso soup in the set meal had carrots and fried tofu in it. I ordered the 300g regular portion of yakiniku, which turned out to be more than enough to fill me up. The restaurant is located next to Joint Tanpopo Market.

I finally had the chance to visit Karubiya, a place I had been curious about on Instagram for a long time. It's a meat shop run by the butcher themselves, offering good quality meat at reasonable prices! I was particularly interested in their beef steak bowl. Of course, I had to order the beef steak bowl!! I decided to go with the regular size as I thought I couldn't handle the large size, but the staff kindly offered to upsize the rice for free. When we asked if even women could finish the large size, the staff assured us that many women can finish it easily. So, all three of us girls immediately said, "We'll take the large size!" (laughs) The portion looked bigger than in the photos. I poured the sauce over the meat, added wasabi, and enjoyed them together. Hmm?? The meat had a lot of gristle and seemed overcooked. The sauce was sweet, but the sweetness was just right when combined with the wasabi. I wish there was a bit more spiciness in the sauce and more wasabi available. The price seemed fair. By the way, they give a small ice cream to young kids as a treat on their way out. I was expecting a tiny ice cream, but they actually have Gari Gari Kun and other regular ones! That was a pleasant surprise. Thank you for the meal.

I ordered the 300-gram beef steak bowl that I had been interested in on Instagram. I was worried it might be too much, but it turned out to be just right. The taste was delicious. It looked like less than in the photos, but I guess that's how it is. There are many other menu items that caught my eye, so I would like to go back again. Today, I made a reservation for 11:30 and went. When I arrived, there were already several groups of people waiting, so I think making a reservation is a good idea for peace of mind.

I arrived at around 2:00 PM and the restaurant was full, but I was seated within a few minutes. I ordered the steak bowl (extra meat) and it was delicious, I even had to order extra rice because it wasn't enough. Next time, I want to try a different menu item. Steak bowl (extra meat) ¥1,518, extra rice for free, additional rice ¥110. August 16, 2022.

Yakiniku restaurant located on the premises of Joint in Umi Town. I had tonkatsu and my partner had a large beef steak bowl. The miso soup, rice, and tonkatsu were all piping hot. They offer a free upgrade to a large portion of rice, but it seems like it would be a huge amount. The tonkatsu meat wasn't too thick. I was concerned about the breading. The steak was tender and delicious. Despite being busy, the staff's service was excellent. I'm sure the kitchen staff are sweating. We were able to enjoy our meal very comfortably. It seems that young children can get ice cream.

First visit. My son and I wanted to eat a lot of meat, so we went to this place. It seems like a butcher shop is running it. Since it was our first time, we ordered the regular size! It was tender and easy to eat, so we finished it in no time. Next time, we should try the large size. We also want to try the yakiniku. It's affordable, so it's good for growing kids!

Two weeks ago, I visited a yakiniku restaurant for lunch. I had a disappointing experience last time, but I decided to give it another chance this time. I had already decided on the menu I wanted to try. Last time, I went late and had to wait in line, so this time I went on a Sunday and arrived early. The restaurant is located in a quiet suburb on the outskirts of Kamimushihara, Umi-cho, Kasuya-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture. I arrived at 10:40 AM, the first customer in line. The wait until the restaurant opened at 11:00 AM felt long under the hot July sun. I bought a drink from the vending machine to quench my thirst. Before opening, a few more customers had arrived. As soon as the restaurant opened, I was seated at a table by the staff. I decided to order the Tonkatsu set meal for 858 yen including tax. I wanted to try the pork loin meat from a meat wholesaler's direct store. This time, I was confident it would be better, but I was curious about the 200g of meat. The dish was ready in less than 10 minutes. The pork loin meat on a large plate was cut into 12 easy-to-eat pieces, with a slightly over-fried appearance. The meat was about 1 centimeter thick, without much visible fat, a bit dry but not too tough. It lacked sweetness, but it was chewable. It may not be suitable for those who care about the taste of meat. I tried it with a rich tonkatsu sauce and mustard, but it didn't bring much joy. The side vegetables included cabbage, lettuce, and thinly sliced carrots. I won't say whether I ate them or not; they could be reused for the next customer. The miso soup had plenty of ingredients, with lots of vegetables and konjac and thick fried tofu. For a palate cleanser, there was delicious authentic napa cabbage kimchi. It was tasty, but I wished there was more. Recently, there has been a tonkatsu boom, with many restaurants offering thick and tender meat for over 1500 yen. I can't afford such expensive options, but there are places that can accommodate my budget of 1000 yen. Is this price reasonable for the quality? In my opinion, 750 yen would be a more appropriate price. After this experience, I concluded that it would be difficult to visit this restaurant again.

Hmm, I wonder if this menu that claimed to be a 300g yakiniku set is a deception? I came to this restaurant in Fukuoka, Umi-cho, and it's located next to a supermarket along the prefectural road. The restaurant is also connected to a meat wholesale store. It's a holiday, around 11:40 AM, and the restaurant is full. I put my name on the waiting list and after about 20 minutes, I was seated. I ordered the yakiniku set (300g) for 748 yen including tax. The menu clearly stated that the weight was correct. The meat was a bit disappointing, with small pieces of beef belly, cabbage, onions, and green peppers cooked in a sweet and savory yakiniku sauce. It looked more like a meat and vegetable stir-fry than a proper yakiniku dish. The meat seemed to be around 100g, not the promised 300g. I was a bit puzzled and disappointed. The miso soup had plenty of ingredients like daikon radish, onions, carrots, burdock root, and konjac, but it lacked pork, which would have made it a proper pork soup. The portion of pickled white cabbage kimchi was also small. The rice, on the other hand, was delicious. It was not just freshly cooked, but the firm texture and sweetness made it reminiscent of freshly milled rice. When I asked at the register, they said they use special grade Iza rice from Kagoshima. Despite the disappointment with the meat portion, I might give this place another chance to try a different menu item and see if it's worth revisiting.

During a work break, I stopped by a restaurant I had known about but never tried because I thought it would be expensive since it was a yakiniku (grilled meat) place. However, this time I had some extra money, so I mustered up the courage to go in. Looking at the menu, I saw lunch sets priced similarly to regular diners, so I ordered the fried chicken set. I enjoyed the delicious fried chicken and savored the miso soup. As someone who values cost-effectiveness, I was satisfied with both the price and taste.

Umi Town debut first time here looking for lunch and came across what seemed to be a directly operated store, Karubiya. Pit stop in the mountains. Beef horumon set meal for 780 yen. The sweetness was mild with a base of red miso sauce, probably containing 3 types of horumon, cabbage, onions, and green peppers in a well-balanced portion for 3150 yen. Extra large rice portion for free at 3150 yen! The horumon had a perfect texture with no unpleasant smell. The grilled meat set meal for 300g at 680 yen was even more cost-effective. The lack of typical menu photos that make you look twice is also a plus. The homemade menu items seem genuine. Definitely worth a visit when in this area!

I went for the first time and it was great! The staff were excellent, there were private rooms for a calm meal, and they offer all-you-can-drink options. The quality of the meat was good, so I definitely want to go back to this restaurant.
