Magic realism is an expressive technique that looks at society from a different angle, using fantastical elements to heal the harshness of reality. Having a deep appreciation for this expression led me to wanting to tell stories through film. Film director Jeremy Troyu. Today, I visited "Lalaport Fukuoka" to carefully explore the lunch options. While I had only briefly visited before, this time I was determined to find a lunch spot. The food court on the 3rd floor was spacious and quite lively, but not crowded enough to worry about finding a seat. After some consideration, I chose "Original Hakata Specialty Nikuniku Udon." They had a self-ordering and self-checkout system using touch screens. After placing my order, I was given a buzzer to notify me when my food was ready. I ordered the "Nikuniku Gobou Tempura Soba" for 1,000 yen. Since I was in Hakata, I really wanted to try the gobou tempura. The tempura consisted of three large pieces, freshly fried with a crispy texture and a moist, flavorful coating. The substantial presence of the gobou added to the dish, and the increased amount of ginger gave it a strong and punchy taste. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. Of course, I couldn't resist taking a picture of the giant Gundam statue. As I make my way forward, I will continue to strive and move forward without regrets.

I wanted to eat tempura burdock, so I ordered meat udon with a black soup. The soup was sweet and savory. There was a generous amount of meat in it, making it a delicious dish as meat udon. Adding just a little bit of topping chili made it spicy, and combined with the hot soup, I ate it while sweating.

There are so many different restaurants in the food court, and although there were many new ones I hadn't tried before, I couldn't resist the temptation and ended up choosing a familiar one. The food was delicious as always! Next time, I'll try something new for sure!

I discovered this set of fried chicken and beer! I'm going to try it, because I was in the mood for beer miraculously. Oh, surprisingly it doesn't taste like frozen food, it's delicious (laughs). Next time, I'll go eat champon and udon. Thank you for the meal! ＼(^o^)／

This time, I visited the original Nikuniku Udon in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, at 6-23-1, 3F of Lala Port Fukuoka. I had lunch there. It's getting colder, so naturally, I crave something warm to eat. I ordered the standard Nikuniku Udon for 800 yen. The ordering process was done through a touch panel and you can also pay with PayPay. The food was served in less than 10 minutes. The soup was sweet and savory, with a good balance of ginger. The thick and chewy noodles were satisfying, and the meat seemed larger than before. It was quite filling and warmed me up. Thank you for the meal.

■ Overall review At Lalaport Fukuoka, there are actually three types of udon available, and one of them is here (the other two being Udon University and Bakuro Meat). This was my first time trying meat udon at a chain restaurant, and I was pleasantly surprised. While I usually enjoy Hakotaro udon from Kitakyushu, this one was not bad at all. ■ Meat Udon I ordered the standard meat udon. The udon itself was not particularly chewy, more on the firm side. However, the ginger added a nice touch. Whoever came up with that idea is amazing. I once had udon with Sanuki shoyu in it, and it was delicious. Also, because it's Lalaport, the prices are a bit on the higher side. Thank you for the meal.

I love the original meaty udon, the spiciness of shichimi togarashi is great! It's probably my favorite among the Doki Doki Udon dishes. The monitor screen was a bit dark and hard to see, but next time I'll make sure to check the toppings and choose my menu carefully! Thank you for the meal.

I went to the food court on the 3rd floor of Lala Port Fukuoka around 12:30 on a weekday. Despite it being a weekday, all the restaurants in Lala Port, which have been open for less than a month, had long lines. Even the food court was crowded, making it difficult to find a seat. Finally, I found a seat and decided to try Niku Niku Udon, which had no line. You order using a terminal in front of the counter. The prices are quite high compared to restaurants in the suburbs. I ordered Niku Niku Gobo Tempura Udon for 940 yen (tax included) and Niku Niku Udon for 800 yen (tax included), received a buzzer for when my order was ready, and returned to my seat. You can also input the amount of noodles and ginger on the order terminal. After a short wait, the buzzer went off, and I went to pick up my order. It was the usual delicious Niku Niku Udon - flat udon noodles in a soy sauce-based broth with chunks of meat.

The udon was 490 yen and the extra noodles were 200 yen, so it was a bit pricey haha. It's been a while since I've been to LaLa Port haha. I bought a parka from U haha.

"Simple udon for 440 yen, extra noodles for 150 yen. It had a strong flavor of ginger and soy sauce. Should be able to handle the drive back without any issues haha."

I arrived around 7:30 PM and ordered the tempura set meal exclusive to the Lalaport store. The udon noodles were delicious as always. The tempura was also crispy and tasty.

Mega portion size!
