I had dinner at a restaurant in Higashi-Hie, Hakata, and walked about 5 minutes from Higashi-Hie Station on the subway airport line. I ordered the tantanmen for 800 yen (excluding tax). It was just before 8 pm on a weekday, and there were two groups of customers already there, enjoying some drinks. I sat at the counter and waited for about 5 minutes for my food to arrive. The meat miso was served cold, with large pieces of ground meat. The noodles were thick Chinese noodles, and the soup was on the spicy side. The dish had a generous amount of toppings, and I felt like I was eating a lot. The soup was a bit salty, so I couldn't finish it all, but overall, it was delicious.

The sesame oil chicken set meal for 800 yen is consistently delicious, but the spiciness can be unpredictable. Today, it was just right! The final treat was pouring the side dish of mapo tofu over rice to make mapo don. The high quality of the mapo tofu made the mapo don naturally delicious. I am happy.

Today, I was in the mood for Chinese food, so I decided to revisit this place after about 3 and a half years. They have a wide variety of authentic Chinese dishes, so I wanted to try a few different ones. The restaurant has 9 counter seats, 4 tables, and seating on the second floor as well. Many Chinese customers also frequent this place, so it seems to be popular among locals. After browsing the extensive menu, I decided to order the following items: - Boiled dumplings (880 yen) - Sweet and sour pork (980 yen) - Sapporo Draft Beer Black Label (600 yen) x2 I originally wanted to order pan-fried dumplings, but they were sold out, so I settled for boiled dumplings. The draft beer came with fried peanuts on the side, which complemented the salty taste of the beer. The boiled dumplings arrived at the counter after a 15-minute wait. The portion was surprisingly generous with 10 dumplings. They were filled with plenty of chives, flavorful meat juice, and even star anise. I really enjoyed the boiled dumplings and would love to have them again next time. Next, the sweet and sour pork arrived. It had a miso aroma with a spicy kick, and the ingredients included pork, cabbage, onion, bell pepper, carrot, and wood ear mushrooms. The stir-fry was cooked on high heat, giving the vegetables a crunchy texture. The dish went really well with the beer, so I moved on to my second glass. By the time I finished everything, I was stuffed. Looking at the menu again, I noticed other tempting dishes like stir-fried chives with liver, sweet and sour pork, mapo tofu, pan-fried dumplings, tan-tan noodles, stir-fried pea shoots, braised pork belly, and more. I also saw that they have my favorite Sura-tan. While I still have a long way to go to try everything, I look forward to revisiting and sampling more dishes in the future!

It's been a while since I came around here. I was debating where to have lunch and was in the mood for Chinese food, so I decided to go to "Ryuko." But when I arrived, the name had changed!! They even offered to make the lunch spicier and it was a cheap and delicious Sichuan-style Chinese restaurant, so I was disappointed that it had changed. However, I didn't have much time so I went in. But once inside, I heard Chinese voices coming from the kitchen and it sounded familiar. Maybe they just changed the name of the restaurant? I ordered the lunch special of mapo tofu and it came with a side of stir-fried pork, which was a pleasant surprise. Both dishes tasted just like they did at "Ryuko." I'm convinced that it's still the same place, just with a different name. I should have asked for it to be spicier. I'll have to confirm the truth next time. Well, it's probably true. Why did they change the name!?

The oil-drizzled chicken set meal costs 750 yen and is delicious. I visit about once a month, and over 90% of the time, I order the oil-drizzled chicken set meal. The chicken is covered in a spicy sauce that really stimulates the appetite. It comes with a small portion of mapo tofu, which tastes great when poured over rice at the end. They used to include almond jelly, but unfortunately, that's no longer available.

The dishes are more Chinese-style, but they have been adjusted to suit Japanese tastes. The spiciness is not too strong, and there are no overpowering seasonings. It's a bit disappointing for those who like spicy or strongly seasoned dishes, but it's still delicious. Please note that you may have to wait during lunchtime, and the service may take some time.

While walking from Hakata Station for work, I noticed a long line and decided to stop by. The kitchen staff and servers were all Chinese. They had daily specials, but I ordered my favorite dish, the sweet and sour pork set meal! It arrived in 5-6 minutes! The meal included the main dish, salad, mapo tofu, egg soup, and pickles. It was a typical set meal, but I was surprised when I tasted it! The sweet and sour pork and mapo tofu tasted just like the authentic flavors of Sichuan Province, and it was very delicious! It's a Chinese restaurant that makes you want to come back again!

I visited this restaurant because I had been curious about it for a while. Luckily, they were having a renewal campaign on the day I visited, so the beer was cheaper than usual. The menu was extensive, with many dishes I had never heard of before. This was probably because all the staff at this restaurant are likely from the original country. To celebrate the renewal, guests from the original country kept coming in one after another, so everyone except us was Chinese (laughs). Of course, there was a lot of Chinese being spoken, making it feel like we were on a trip abroad! In the midst of this, the shrimp chili, Sichuan-style mapo tofu, and crab and lettuce fried rice that we ordered were brought out one after another. The flavors were all delicious, especially the mapo tofu with its addictive spiciness from the Sichuan peppercorns. And the fried rice was fluffy and light, making me wonder if it was made with a different type of rice. It was a town Chinese restaurant where you could enjoy authentic flavors.

Today I decided on Chinese food. This is my third visit. I chose the daily special, which was sweet and sour pork set meal for ¥750. Although not shown in the photo, there was a good amount of pork underneath the vegetables. The vegetables were crunchy and delicious when mixed with the sauce. The cabbage, green peppers, onions, and mushrooms were all tasty! The egg drop soup and small dish of mapo tofu were also great. The almond jelly dessert at the end left a refreshing feeling in my mouth. It's always crowded whenever I come, so it's definitely a popular restaurant. Thank you for the meal!

Today I went to Fukutatei for the second time. I had the daily special Taiwan ramen set, which came with Taiwan ramen and rice. The noodles were thin and straight, and the soup was not too spicy, making it easy to eat. After finishing the noodles, I mixed the rice in as usual and enjoyed it. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I visited a different restaurant than usual, Fukutatei, located across the Mikasa River. The place had a typical Chinese restaurant vibe, which made me excited to try their food. They had a wide variety of lunch menu options, so I felt like I could come here frequently without getting bored. The restaurant was almost full, with people waiting outside as well. The turnover seemed fast, with customers coming and going quickly. For my first visit, I ordered the Mapo Eggplant Rice Bowl set for ¥730. I wasn't sure about the portion size, so I went with the regular size for the rice. The dish was served in about 5-6 minutes, which was quite fast. The rice portion was generous, so I was glad I didn't opt for the large size. They also served some sides like Mapo Tofu, which I added to my bowl. The pickled vegetables, soup, and almond jelly dessert were all delicious. I will definitely be back soon to try their noodles next time. Thank you for the meal.

This is my first visit. It's about a 10-minute walk from Hakata Station. The staff at the restaurant are all Chinese. You can enjoy authentic Chinese flavors here. There were many dishes that I had never seen before. The most impressive ones were the mapo tofu, fried rice, and lamb skewers, which were delicious. You can also adjust the spiciness level of the mapo tofu. Most of the dishes are spicy. I wondered how many chili peppers they used while eating. The last dish was a fish head, which was huge! Thank you for the meal.

It feels like Tokie's development is coming to an end soon. I noticed this place when I passed by before because there were a lot of people coming in and out, so it seemed popular. However, the timing never worked out. It was just before 1 pm. There were mostly male customers. There were various daily specials, but for some reason, my eyes were drawn to the mapo tofu. Even though I may not have a high tolerance for spiciness, I like it. It must be a Chinese dish, as Chinese words were flying around in the kitchen. The food came out quickly. The portions here are quite generous, just like most places in Tokie. In the corner, there was a cute almond jelly. It was quite stylish. Now, let's try the mapo tofu without a high tolerance for spiciness... The first bite was a bit spicy. But it wasn't a lingering spiciness. It naturally faded away, and from the second bite onwards, it was relatively easy to eat. The fried chicken was freshly fried and round in shape. It was quite large. Eating this made me appreciate how sweet the almond jelly was. The subtly cute dessert was really a pleasant surprise. 750 yen is cheap, right?

I rarely have lunch in this area, but I happened to be close to a training venue so I decided to come here. It was lunchtime and the place was crowded with customers. Luckily, there was one empty seat at the counter and I was able to sit down right away. Looking at the menu, there were various options such as Chinese noodles and fried rice sets, but there were also plenty of set meal options. I was torn between choices but ended up ordering the Green Pepper Pork Set for 750 yen. It was served promptly. The portion of rice was a bit small, I wish they offered refills. I was happy to see 2 pieces of fried chicken. Both the Green Pepper Pork and the fried chicken were delicious with rich flavors. The dessert was a bite-sized almond jelly. Thank you for the meal.

I have visited this restaurant once during the state of emergency, as I work in the medical field and don't have much time to spend leisurely at restaurants. I usually eat quickly and leave within an hour (before the requested shortened hours end). This restaurant is run by Chinese owners and serves mainland Chinese cuisine. I ordered Mao Zedong-style braised pork belly and another dish, but strangely, a chicken soy sauce stir-fry was served instead. It had a teriyaki-like flavor that went well with rice. I was expecting the pork belly dish to be spicier, but it turned out to be soy sauce flavored. I wonder how it differs from the other soy sauce dish on the menu. Maybe it's just the addition of garlic? The menu mainly features Sichuan, Northeastern, and Hunan cuisines, so I plan to come back with a larger group next time and try a variety of dishes. I only tried two dishes this time, so I'll reserve my rating for now.

Mei Cai Kou Rou (Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard Greens) is a Taiwanese dish. The tender pork belly with the flavor of preserved mustard greens is a perfect match. Makes you crave for some white rice, right? Of course, I ordered some! I also tried the Lamb Skewers, which had just the right amount of spice and flavor. I wanted to order more, but I decided to stop after ordering some Taiwanese Ramen. The restaurant's hours are 11:00-14:30 and 18:00-23:00. The prices are around 1000 yen for lunch and 2000-3000 yen for dinner. The dishes I ordered for dinner were Mei Cai Kou Rou for 1680 yen, Lamb Skewers for 150 yen each, Taiwanese Ramen for 750 yen, and a large bowl of white rice for 200 yen.

Today's work was in Higashi-Hie, Hakata-ku! During lunchtime, I went to Gusto on the old Route 3, but it was full... There was a restaurant right across the road, so I decided to visit. The interior was crowded during lunchtime, but I was seated at the counter and checked the menu. They had set meals and noodles for lunch, all reasonably priced. I chose the "Tantanmen Set 750 yen" which caught my eye! The set lunch came with white rice. Although the restaurant was busy, the food arrived in a few minutes! The soup looked spicy with chili oil on the surface. When I took a sip, the sesame-based soup had a good balance with the chili oil. The toppings were carefully placed on bean sprouts, with minced meat and green onions, and spinach on the side. The sesame flavor, spiciness from doubanjiang and chili oil, and the slightly high-water content curly noodles were a great combination. The noodles went well with the soup. I enjoyed it more than I expected. At the end of the meal, when I paid 750 yen, the Chinese staff said in broken Japanese, "It's 700 yen." I left the restaurant and saw a sign saying "Daily Tantanmen Set 700 yen." It's a convenient Chinese restaurant for everyday use. Thank you for the meal.

After finishing work, I felt like eating Chinese food after looking at reviews on Tabelog, so I decided to visit this place for the first time! (I feel like there are few Chinese restaurants in the Higashi-Hie area...) The interior of the restaurant is spacious with a counter and tables! I received the menu and searched for something that caught my eye. Huh? No set meals...? Only individual dishes at night...? (Although I feel like there might be a separate menu for set meals... haha) In that case, I love mapo tofu so I'll go with that! - Mapo Tofu Donburi (750 yen) Looking at the menu, there are many authentic Chinese dishes...! Come to think of it, there are many Chinese customers here... If authentic people come here often, then my expectations are high...! After waiting for about 10 minutes, the dish arrived at the counter! The appearance and aroma give off a spicy vibe... Let's dig in! The silky tofu and the spicy miso sauce... The spiciness is just right, making me sweat a bit towards the end (my metabolism is too good though...). The ingredients are minced meat, leeks, and simple mapo tofu...! The rice is firm and I personally like the texture! It goes perfectly with the flavor of the mapo, and I finished it in no time. I would like to try other dishes like sweet and sour pork or stir-fried pork with green peppers... I wasn't sure if they have set meals at night this time, but I felt that it would be a nice place to enjoy Chinese cuisine with 4-5 people while having some drinks! Thank you for the meal!

To busy days with a rushed lunch. I was on my bike and looking for a place to park and eat quickly, so I headed to "Fukutatei" in Higashi-Hie. It's a Chinese restaurant with a menu that includes Ma Po Tofu Ramen set for 750 yen or just the dish for 650 yen. I opted for the set, but it turned out the set only came with a small portion of rice and I had to pay an extra 100 yen for a larger portion. I should have just ordered the dish on its own. The Ma Po Tofu was spicy and the straight noodles were good. The taste was decent. Overall, go for the dish on its own. The restaurant is located at 2-1-19 Higashi-Hie, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City. Open from 11:00 to 14:30 and 18:00 to 23:00, closed on Sundays and holidays.

Oil-drizzled chicken set meal for 800 yen. Today's spiciness level was high. Service had a Chinese style. One dish was forgotten this time.
