I visited with my father to celebrate the birth of my nephew. The exterior of the restaurant is quite beautiful, which is rare in this area. We had made a reservation but had to wait an additional 20 minutes for cleanup. The interior is also luxurious, with bottles of Yamazaki and Hakushu displayed and an automatic piano installed. The buffet in the center had a good variety of dishes, and they would replace your plate each time. We tried the Yukhoe, liver, kalbi, and specially selected Matsusaka beef. The Matsusaka beef was incredibly tender and melted in your mouth, the liver was large, and the rest were a bit tough. The Yukhoe was delicious and I couldn't resist finishing it. Taking into account the cost and taste, I gave this restaurant this rating. #Yakiniku

A friend or relative recommended a restaurant called Arirang that I had been curious about for a long time. It's a yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) restaurant. We decided to use it for a family celebration. It seems to be a popular place, as there was a wait time of about 30 minutes even with a reservation. We arrived early, but there were already quite a few people waiting. We were able to use the Fukuoka Prefecture's meal coupon, which we had prepared in advance, to order our favorite items! Since we had a large group, we chose the best course and the middle course for 7-8 people. We also added bibimbap and cold noodles. The meat itself had a good flavor, and everything was indeed delicious! The salad bar was well stocked and fun to choose from, making it a great place for families to visit. The waiting area even had some toys for children to play with, and we saw many families coming in. It may be a bit pricey at night, but it seems reasonable for lunch, so I definitely want to try going there for lunch as well.

I had yakiniku for lunch. It was comfortable because we had a private room with chairs. I chose a set with a salad bar, so I could enjoy a variety of vegetables from fresh to seasoned. There were also fruits and jellies for dessert. If you have a membership card or app, you can get a mini dessert for free! It was the best lunch yakiniku experience.

I was looking for a yakiniku lunch and stumbled upon this place. It had a classy atmosphere with a piano playing automatically and private rooms. I ordered the beef cheek and harami cheese bibimbap set, which was around 1600 yen. The Chorogi salad was only 180 yen, very cheap. The salad bar was 350 yen, but I didn't choose it this time because it was a bit of a hassle to get up and get it. My husband chose the cheese curry and we shared it with the bibimbap, which was enjoyable. The meat, sauce, and rice dishes were all delicious. Most importantly, the private room was comfortable, and we were able to relax and enjoy a leisurely lunch in the middle of the day.

Good morning. Yesterday, I went out for drinks with my wife in Zao, which I haven't done in a while, so I woke up today feeling hungover and extremely thirsty. I might try brewing some dokudami tea to help with that. Anyway, this time I went to a yakiniku restaurant called Arirang Betten, which I've been to a few times before. Each time I go, I always discover something new. This time, I decided to take a closer look at the menu and realized the greatness of this place. I had the liver brian, and it was delicious. This kind of moderately priced high-end restaurant is perfect for locals, and I'm thinking of opening a similar place myself.

First visit. I went for my child's graduation celebration. Each table is in a private room so you don't have to worry about the surroundings. There is a salad bar, but nothing particularly unique, just average. It's a perfect place for special occasions or when you want to eat luxurious meat. It was delicious. I would like to try it for lunchtime!

On New Year's Day, followed by dining out on the New Year's holiday. This will be the first step in appeasing my companion (laughs). Despite the visit being after 1 p.m., on January 4th, many restaurants were closed due to the holiday, so there were quite a few cars parked in the parking lot. There was also a security guard, so parking was smooth. As we passed through the bubbly entrance, we were immediately guided to a private room by the staff. It seems that when it's crowded, you need to input the number of people at the reception machine at the entrance. In the private room, we ordered the Special Selection Three Types of Grilled Beef Set (premium loin, premium kalbi, lean meat, kimchi, Korean seaweed, soup, rice), and the Beef Tongue Set (premium tongue, fatty tongue, green onion salted tongue, kimchi, Korean seaweed, soup, rice). Both sets came with a salad bar and drinks. We were promptly served with salad bar plates, so we chose our favorite salads. The drink bar seemed to only have orange juice and oolong tea (bitter smile). When we returned to the private room, kimchi, Korean seaweed, soup, and rice were served. Next, the Special Selection Three Types of Grilled Beef Set and Beef Tongue Set were served. First, we tried the premium tongue. The premium tongue is eaten with lemon salt provided on the table. The meat didn't seem to have much seasoning, perhaps because they were confident in their beef. The lemon salt was not too sour, which was just right for me as I don't like sour flavors. Although the tongue was not thick, the light fat and texture of the tongue were delicious. Personally, I think it would be best if they added a little more salt and pepper for seasoning, but the thickness of the tongue was just right. Next, we tried the green onion salted tongue. We put green onions on it when it was grilled, but I thought it would be even more delicious if the green onions had a stronger flavor. However, it was delicious with the mild spiciness of the green onions. Lastly, we tried the fatty tongue, cooked like a steak. It was grilled well on the outside and slightly pink on the inside, making it incredibly tender and allowing us to taste the fat of the tongue, which was very delicious. The grainy mustard also added a nice touch. Next, we tried the premium kalbi in a sauce. The good fat of the meat didn't make us feel heavy. It goes best with white rice! When you eat it with rice, the rice becomes even more delicious. Then we tried the premium loin. When you take a bite, it melts in your mouth. It was light and easy to eat after the kalbi. Eating it with rice made the rice even more delicious. Lastly, we tried the lean meat. It was a great idea to have this light lean meat at the end! We could feel the umami-like flavor after absorbing all the fat from the kalbi and loin in our mouths. It had been years since I had had a yakiniku lunch. It was great to be able to eat white rice with yakiniku, which I thought was the standard. It had a bubbly atmosphere, but it was also a private room with high hospitality. Next time, I would like to enjoy it with drinks at night. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this yakiniku restaurant based on a family request as they had enjoyed it for lunch before. It is a completely private room restaurant with a salad bar as its main attraction. Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed a salad bar in the center of the hall and an automatic piano on the right side. We were led to a private room and when we looked at the menu, we saw a wide variety of meat options along with numerous other menu items. Since my family was having a hard time deciding, I suggested ordering the following set which seemed like a good choice: ★Family Set (for 3 people) ¥7,480. First, we were served rice, soup, and plates for the salad bar. We quickly checked out the salad bar which had a variety of vegetables, fruits, jellies, etc. It looked appealing, but the contents were fairly standard. When we returned to our room, we were served tongue and salt-grilled meat. We enjoyed it with wasabi and salted kelp. Next, we received hormone, kalbi, and pork belly. It came with sausages and vegetables, and the portion was quite generous. The jar pickled kalbi was particularly voluminous, and it had so much sinew that we couldn't chew it all, so we ended up leaving it. We had planned to go for seconds at the salad bar, but we were too full after the first plate. The service was polite, and although there were no major complaints, it didn't quite meet our expectations. Since the lunch menu seems reasonably priced with a wide variety of options, I would like to visit again for lunch next time. Thank you for the meal.

We visited the restaurant where our daughter and son-in-law live for dinner. Last time, we had to give up because of the long wait in line, but this time we were lucky to be able to enter without a reservation at a good time. Our newlywed daughter, who rarely gets to eat meat even though she is a member, was all smiles with the family set with collagen-rich pork cheek meat, and we had a fulfilling time with cheese jeon as the finale. When we returned home in a slightly tipsy mood, we realized, "Oh, they were our neighbors!"

This is a great place to enjoy both salad and yakiniku. You can order a lunch set and add on items like tongue, kalbi, and tripe for around 6000 yen for two people. You can even choose Saga beef if you're willing to pay. The meat in the lunch set is decent for the price. You can enjoy the salad, get extra rice, and finish off with coffee from the drink bar.

First time visiting this restaurant! I have always been curious about it as I pass by this road occasionally. Finally decided to have lunch here... I ordered the Upper Kalbi set meal, salad, soft drink, and dessert buffet! The salad was well-stocked with leafy vegetables like lettuce and shredded cabbage, which is great considering the high prices of vegetables lately. The drink and dessert options were also varied and constantly replenished. The meat was incredibly delicious. This lunch set is quite a good deal, so I am thinking of trying their dinner menu next time.

In August 2021, after about 1 year and 3 months, I visited Fukuoka again, along with Typhoon No. 9. On this day, I had lunch at "Koshitsu Yakiniku Ariran Bettei" in Dazaifu City. The restaurant has a luxurious atmosphere from the entrance, and you are greeted by automatic piano music. I ordered the Bettei Gozen (including tax, 2068 yen) from the abundant lunch menu. The set included grilled dishes such as tongue salt, Wagyu upper kalbi, Harami, local chicken, shrimp, and vegetables (shiitake mushrooms, bell peppers, pumpkin). It also came with kimchi, seaweed, a salad bar, drinks, and a half-size portion of Bettei cold noodles (you can choose). The salad bar and drinks are free to refill, and this salad bar may be a popular secret. The deliciousness of the meat goes without saying. The Bettei cold noodles, despite being a half-size portion, had a generous amount. The soup was clear and full of umami, with Korean noodles, kimchi, and more, making it delicious. I was completely satisfied and full. After paying the bill, I received a candy for a refreshing treat. Eating yakiniku together with everyone is truly delicious. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I came to eat yakiniku even though I can't drink alcohol, and I heard that this place is a trendy yakiniku restaurant. I don't know much about yakiniku, but I'm looking forward to learning more about it. Lately, many restaurants have been opening second branches with the equal cooperation money they received. This has led to a high demand for properties in suburban areas that were previously overlooked. Unfortunately, this has made it difficult for me to find affordable properties in prime locations. Anyway, this is my second visit to this restaurant. I ordered a variety of dishes, including a platter of wagyu beef which was delicious. The rice was also very tasty, so I ate a lot. The bibim noodles were especially delicious and had a strong spiciness that I enjoyed. Overall, it was a good meal, but the restaurant was surprisingly empty, probably due to the impact of the pandemic. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I took a day off in exchange for working on a holiday and wandered around the area near Futarumachi with my partner. We checked out a restaurant for lunch, the elegant Aki Ranbetsu-tei Dazaifu store. The restaurant was clean and had a high-class atmosphere. The dining area had private rooms, and there was a salad bar with salads, soups, and fruits in the center near the register. We received attentive service, were escorted to a private room, and ordered lunch (they had various lunch options, but I forgot the exact names, sorry). We ordered meat (kalbi and harami) and noodles & rice (stone bibimbap and jjangmyeon). The food was served quite quickly, and we started with the noodles. They weren't as spicy as they looked, and the soup was drinkable. The stone bibimbap was also delicious. As for the barbecue, we tried it with various sauces like soy sauce, miso sauce, and ponzu. Both the kalbi and harami were incredibly delicious and tender, satisfying even with my mediocre grilling skills. As mentioned earlier, they have various lunch options, so I look forward to going back again.

I finally went to this new restaurant. I'm someone who runs a steakhouse, but I'm not really interested in meat, so I'm not very knowledgeable about it. But I feel like you can still enjoy meat even without being an expert. It was crowded on Sunday afternoon. They had Matsusaka beef, but not many people can tell the difference (laughs). I don't know much about it either, but it was recommended, so I had the special kalbi lunch, and also ordered a dish with tongue and yukhoe-like beef. It had sea urchin and caviar on top, which seemed a bit excessive (laughs). I felt like it wasn't really necessary, I would have preferred it with an egg yolk on top (laughs). I savored the Matsusaka beef and enjoyed my meal. The menu overall seemed quite affordable (@_@). The lunch I ordered for my child was under 1000 yen, but it was really delicious. I will revisit this place at night. However, the only thing available for a palate cleanser is the salad bar, so I might not be able to eat much. Thank you for the meal. I was impressed by the high level of staff education. This restaurant is a place where you can learn a lot.

Second visit to the villa (｡・∀・)ﾉ It was quite crowded even on a weekday, probably because it's right before the Bon Festival. We splurged a bit with Matsusaka beef and the villa's special set menu, using the COVID relief money. Matsusaka beef was delicious, but as someone who isn't an expert, I can tell the difference compared to Kagoshima or Miyazaki black wagyu. The free rice refill was a nice touch, and the freshly cooked rice was top-notch. We added extras like tripe, skirt steak, lunch ribs, ribs, intestines, and hormone, and ate until we were full. The salad was served buffet-style, despite the ongoing pandemic. Overall, it was a satisfying meal, and the final bill will depend on your level of satisfaction (｡・_・｡)ゞ

We went to the restaurant with six people on Mother's Day: my wife, children, mother, sister, and niece. I ordered the special set meal, my mother and sister had the Kalbi lunch, my wife had the limited edition Matsusaka beef hamburger, and my niece ordered something like ramen. The private room was beautiful and there was a kids' space, which was great for families. The food was delicious, with a variety of meats in my set meal. The pork and chicken were tasty, while the domestic beef Kalbi was exceptional. I chose cold noodles from the options, which was a satisfying portion. The salad bar was also good, as I went back for seconds three times. The Kalbi lunch for my mother and sister had generous portions of meat and the hamburger was also delicious. The price for the lunch was reasonable, around 8,000 yen for five people. For dessert, the women received strawberry cake for Mother's Day, but as a man, I didn't get any, which was a bit disappointing. I ended up buying a cake from a bakery. I would like to try the restaurant for dinner next time, as they have a variety of meat dishes on the menu.

A new yakiniku restaurant has opened in Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. It is spacious and has a luxurious atmosphere, and it seems to be bustling every day. I visited the restaurant alone for lunch around 1 pm. As I entered, a group of 4 or 5 older ladies were being escorted to their table. I waited for a moment, but two staff members walked past me without acknowledging me. I noticed a check-in terminal to my left, so I assumed that was for walk-in customers and started using it. A female staff member passing by asked me, "Are you a customer?" Eventually, I was led to a table at the back of the restaurant, which was fully booked. The staff seemed apologetic and led me to another table, which was also full. After a few more attempts, I was finally seated at a vacant table. I ordered the Roast Beef Bowl, which was served with fresh vegetables and egg yolk and was delicious. Despite the initial hiccups, the food was the saving grace of my experience. The staff who served me were friendly, but the overall experience was somewhat marred by the seating situation. As I left, what struck me as odd was the system of asking customers, "Are you a customer?" It left me feeling a bit puzzled.

At the end of last year, a yakiniku specialty store opened in Taizaifu City, Oita Prefecture, becoming the 9th store in the Ariran Group, which has its headquarters there. As you get older, you inevitably start to lack protein, so you have to eat meat. Yesterday, for lunch, I came to eat yakiniku again, this time in Oasano, Taizaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. I heard from my friends at the super sento that they serve high-quality meat here. I went there right away, just before noon on a weekday. The atmosphere seemed a bit high-class, with a sign for Matsusaka beef in front of the store. I don't mind imported meat, but let's go inside. The inside of the store is spacious, and I was guided to a private room by a young female staff member. A lunch menu was prepared. I decided to order the same thing I had at another store yesterday since the price was the same. I ordered the Kalbi lunch, 150g for 1280 yen (excluding tax), which came with rice, kimchi, nori, and soup. I heard that you can get a free refill of rice, so I was looking forward to what would be served. Since the price was the same, I could compare. The smokeless roaster in front of me was ready to cook the meat. When I saw the meat they brought, I was surprised at how much there was for this price. There were about 10 thick pieces of Kalbi meat, and the quality seemed good. I shouldn't complain about the uneven shapes. When I started eating, the taste was the same, so I didn't mind. I laughed bitterly when I saw that there was only one slice of pumpkin among the vegetables. The seaweed soup and two pieces of Korean seaweed with finely chopped daikon kimchi were served. There were two types of yakiniku sauce, the original sauce and miso sauce. Now, I will grill and eat it. I want to enjoy it slowly, so I'll cook it over low heat. The incredibly tender Kalbi meat was completely different from the one at the store I went to yesterday. The right amount of fat gave it a sweet taste, and the light taste of the original sauce was amazing. This Kalbi meat is amazing. The rice went well with it. Of course, I asked for a refill. The rice was cooked well, and the firm texture was perfect for yakiniku. Due to budget constraints, I couldn't order additional meat, but the joy of grilling and eating domestic wagyu slowly filled me with happiness. Inside the store, there was a drink and salad bar available for an additional charge, but it was beyond my budget as a pensioner. I told the female staff from the beginning that I wouldn't be able to use it. I could see myself coming here once a week if I had been eating noodles all the time. I really liked this place.

I caught a cold over the New Year's holiday, but finally regained my appetite, so I decided to treat myself to some yakiniku at this new restaurant I had been eyeing! The restaurant had a splendid appearance, with no trace of its former "Kappa Sushi" days. The interior was completely private rooms, and the modern and stylish atmosphere was really nice. They had quite a variety of lunch options, from yakiniku to set meals. I ordered the 150g kalbi lunch and the 150g lean meat lunch! I also added some tripe, wagyu kalbi, hormone, and lunch kalbi for an extra 250 yen, which came with access to the salad bar and drinks! The salad had a chic feel to it and was delicious overall. Especially the "potato salad," which was my favorite! The kalbi at lunch didn't specify if it was domestic or wagyu, so it was probably imported, but it was tasty without any unpleasant smell. In the end, it cost around 5900 yen for two people (we didn't drink alcohol). Whether you see it as expensive, cheap, or reasonable is up to you. The high points were the restaurant's atmosphere and the salad bar, so it felt fair to me. In terms of meat quality, "Dai Shoen" is better. If you're willing to spend without restraint on the grand menu, you can enjoy Matsusaka beef or Chateaubriand, so you can really indulge!
