I felt like eating Tantanmen and it was my first visit. It's a good value lunch! The fried rice is a bit oily to make it crispy, but still delicious! I didn't know what the black in the Tantanmen was, but it had a good level of spiciness and was tasty! The dumplings were big but light, so I could eat a lot of them.

This time, I visited the Chinese restaurant "Tenshunro" for lunch. It is located in the northern part of Fukuoka City, right next to Nekehoku Elementary School. Previously, there was a ramen shop called "Nagahama Ramen" in the same location! I used to visit "Nagahama Ramen" often, so it's a shame that it's gone... Anyway, I knew that a Chinese restaurant had opened there, but this was my first visit. There is a private parking lot with space for about three cars on the left side of the store. Inside the restaurant, there are five tables on the first floor and about six tables with floor seating on the second floor. The restaurant is run by people from the continent. I quickly looked at the menu! The daily lunch special is 750 yen, and various set meals range from 800 to 900 yen with free rice refills! There is also a great value set menu with a choice of "Ramen" or "Tantanmen" and "Mapo Don," "Chuka Don," or "Chahan." ● Tantanmen + Mini Chuka Don 880 yen It took about 10 minutes for the food to be served. The Tantanmen has minced meat and green onions as toppings! You can see bits of red pepper floating in the soup. When I slurped the soup, it had a spicy kick from the chili oil and red pepper. The base seems to be chicken broth, with a unique blend of spices giving it a refreshing taste. The noodles are medium-thin Chinese noodles with a chewy texture. The minced meat is flavorful and not overpowered by the spicy soup! The crunchy fresh green onions are a nice touch. The Chuka Don is a light dish with about a bowl of rice and ingredients like pork, wood ear mushrooms, shrimp, carrots, and cabbage. The Chinese broth sauce coats everything nicely and tastes delicious. I would like to try the regular size next time. The Mapo Don that my companion ordered seemed spicier with plenty of minced meat. I will definitely visit again! Thank you for the meal.

This is a photo of the liver and leek set meal (around 890 yen). The daily special set meal is around 800 yen. It's nice that it comes with salad, soup, and almond jelly in addition to the main dish and rice. The main dish can be delicious or just okay. The best part is that you can get free refills of rice, so you can eat until you're full!

There was a Chinese restaurant that had opened in Minohama without me noticing. I rarely come to this area, so I didn't realize it. I think this place used to be a ramen shop before. It is run by a Chinese person who is fluent in Japanese. - Sweet and sour pork set meal (880 yen including tax): The amount of pork is small, but the quality is good. The taste is average. It seemed a bit lacking as a main dish in a Chinese restaurant. - Shredded pork with green peppers set meal (770 yen including tax): I usually choose shrimp, but I also like shredded pork with green peppers. There are a lot of green peppers in this dish. The pork is marinated, but it seems a bit salty due to the lack of oyster sauce. Both meals come with salad, pickles, soup, rice (refillable), and almond jelly-like dessert. Additional order: - Pan-fried dumplings (418 yen including tax): The wings are amazing. These are delicious, and it was a good addition since the main dish was a bit small. The restaurant seemed popular as customers kept coming in. There are only 3 parking spaces, so if you are driving, it's best to arrive before 11:30.

I visited this restaurant after finding out that many places around Niecehama are closed on Wednesdays. It's a Chinese restaurant serving dishes like sweet and sour pork and stir-fried pork with green peppers for lunch. Intrigued by the name "Five Flavors," I decided to try the daily special, Five Flavors Fried Rice set meal. When the fried rice arrived, I noticed that it had regular ham instead of Jinhua ham or roasted pork, and the oiliness bothered me a bit. Perhaps opting for a different set meal with more volume rather than the daily special might be a better choice next time.

I casually dropped by a local Chinese restaurant. It was around 9 pm, quite late, so there were no other customers and it seemed quiet, but I was warmly welcomed. It's nice that they are open until 11 pm in a residential area. I ordered a draft beer, char siu, stir-fried choy sum, and boiled dumplings to start my evening drink. The service speed was normal, and the food was decent, no complaints there, but the beer may need some improvement. The taste of draft beer depends on proper cleaning! This is important. I also ordered a highball, two cups of 10-year-old Shaoxing wine, and spring rolls as extras. In total, it came to 5,800 yen. Maybe I went a bit overboard for a solo evening drink. Set meals might be a better deal here.

I was really hungry so I ended up ordering three dishes: - Five-ingredient fried rice: Simple and easy to eat with a salty base - Sweet and sour pork with black vinegar (large): A favorite of mine with a good balance of sweetness and sourness - Chicken with green onion sauce (small): Tried it for the first time, the green onion sauce has a slight tangy taste and not much of a strong green onion flavor. It's light and easy to eat, maybe because it's not too strong in flavor? I ordered too much and almost couldn't finish it all... I should have just taken the leftovers home instead (you can ask the staff for a takeout container if you order too much, so remember that for next time). Also, be prepared for a bit of a wait when it's busy with groups or lots of customers (maybe they only have one chef on weekdays?). Just be patient and enjoy the wait!

After enjoying the ramen at Tenshunro Chohama, a new Chinese restaurant has appeared in the area. While Italian restaurants were more common in Chohama, recently there has been an increase in Chinese options. Before shopping at Best Denki and Good Day, we decided to have lunch. We ordered a noodle and rice bowl set with tantanmen and mapo tofu rice bowl. When asked about the level of spiciness, we decided to go for a slightly spicy option since it was our first time at the restaurant. The tantanmen had a spicy soup base with chili peppers and chili oil, lacking the sesame flavor that many tantanmen dishes have. The base soup seemed to be made from chicken bones or pork bones, and it paired well with the ground pork. However, the spiciness made it a bit difficult to slurp the noodles without feeling a burning sensation. Both the chili peppers and chili oil dominated the flavor, without the presence of Sichuan peppercorns. Instead of Sichuan peppercorns, the spiciness came from the chili peppers, numbing the tongue and throat. The ground pork's umami flavor gently enveloped the spiciness. The mapo tofu rice bowl had a similar level of spiciness, with occasional hints of a sweet and delicious flavor, possibly from sweet bean sauce. The large amount of ground pork in the mapo tofu was delicious. Next time, we would like to try the mapo tofu with a milder level of spiciness to fully enjoy the sweetness.

I think it's a relatively new restaurant. The exterior looks expensive, so it may be intimidating to enter, but once inside, it's a modest, ordinary eatery run by a Chinese couple. There is a TV on the wall, making it easy to dine alone without feeling out of place. The place has mostly 4-person tables and one 2-person table, so if you're dining alone, it's best to avoid peak times to not inconvenience the restaurant. I ordered the Chinese rice bowl, which was packed with ingredients - 2 large shrimp, pork, cabbage, bok choy, carrots, wood ear mushrooms, and quail eggs. The taste was not your typical Chinese rice bowl, with the flavor of pork and cabbage standing out, more like a stir-fry. It was delicious, and at 680 yen (excluding tax), it's quite affordable considering the generous portions. All dishes here are reasonably priced, with a slight increase in price making them seem more standard. Other dishes like Kung Pao Chicken, Liver and Chive Stir-Fry, Chicken Karaage, Mapo Tofu, XO Sauce Stir-Fry with Squid, Shrimp, and Scallop, and Shrimp Chili are all priced similarly. The Liver and Chive Stir-Fry had a tasty but slightly salty sauce, which may be acceptable to some. The Mapo Tofu had a unique sweet and savory miso flavor. I recommend trying the Sura Tangmen, a noodle soup with large shrimp and plenty of other ingredients, with a strong scent of chili oil. It's quite spicy, so be careful while slurping it down. About 30 minutes after eating, you'll feel warm and flushed, possibly due to the chili oil. Despite the great value, I worry about how they can sustain this pricing. Definitely worth a visit.

I always go to this Chinese restaurant for the common people. Every time I go, I definitely eat the "Black Vinegar Sweet and Sour Pork", so it always ends up costing more than 1,000 yen haha.

Delicious dishes at a casual Chinese restaurant. Personally, I recommend the "Sweet and Sour Pork" with black vinegar and the fried rice, which are my favorites!

I didn't know what kind of restaurant it was until I opened the door, but the interior was clean with about 4 or 5 four-person tables. It was more spacious than I thought. I ordered the mapo tofu set meal with extra spiciness. It had a sweet initial taste, followed by a deep flavor and a quiet spiciness that crept up afterwards. It was a new sensation for me. It's likely to become addictive.
