I visited a chain restaurant where you can enjoy fresh oysters and seafood at reasonable prices for the first time. Since they open at 11 AM, I arrived around 11:30 AM and was the first customer. Looking at the menu, I saw the Seafood Platter (4 fresh oysters, 2 oyster cocktails, 4 mussels, 10 shrimp cocktails, smoked salmon, 2 red shrimp, and scallop carpaccio) available for half price—regularly 7,238 yen, now 3,619 yen. Since mussels, which I love, are included along with oysters, I went for this option without hesitation. The seasonal sweet oysters were delicious, and the oyster cocktail sauce was also tasty. The mussels were just okay, but overall, I felt like I got a great deal. I chose a lemon cream pasta with oysters and spinach, as I thought a tomato sauce might be too fishy. Typically, I don't go for cream sauces, but this one was light enough to enjoy. The set came with a mini salad and a cup of soup, though the soup was somewhat bland. The seafood chowder was rich yet not too heavy, and I enjoyed it as well. My wife and I shared all the dishes. We ordered a glass of white wine and a glass of sparkling wine, bringing the total to just under 8,000 yen, which felt like a bargain. Ordering was done through a QR code.

I sometimes visit when I'm craving oysters. This time, I went for lunch, and since it was a bit late, I was able to get a table without any wait. I ordered a set that included raw oysters and pasta. That day, it was half-price raw oyster day, so I initially ordered two, but they were so delicious that I ended up getting two more. There are various origins for oysters, but I don't really know much about them! On that day, I particularly enjoyed the ones from Kamaishi. I definitely plan to come back when I have a sudden craving for oysters again.

I came here because my friend loves seafood. I don’t eat oysters very often, but it was delicious since it had been a while. The pasta was spicier than I expected, with quite a kick from the chili. The salad was refreshing with the tanginess of the oranges, which I really liked. I didn’t drink any alcohol, but I wish I had tried a beer.

I received a notification that my wife’s post-surgery follow-up was over, so I headed to Solaria Stage. I aimed for Tonkatsu Hikaru, but on the way, I discovered this restaurant and decided to change plans. I visited around 11:40 on a weekday. There were two groups ahead of me, consisting of two ladies and two businesswomen. Since I only had a 60-minute lunch break, I chose from the lunch menu. I ordered the Oyster Double Lunch for 1,380 yen (1,518 yen including tax) and was tempted by the half-off promotion, getting one each of the raw oyster for 730 yen, reduced to 365 yen, and the Hiroshima oyster for 690 yen, reduced to 345 yen. The "double" in the double lunch refers to two fried oysters and two herb-grilled oysters. Essentially, I was enjoying the three oyster brothers: raw, fried, and grilled. I placed my order using a tablet device. The raw oysters were larger than those from Itoshima; one bite filled my mouth completely. I squeezed fresh lemon on it and took a bite. It was sweet, creamy, and delicious. The fried and herb-grilled oysters were also excellent. (I apologize for my limited vocabulary!) I learned that the lunch menu is available on weekends too. Next time, I plan to try the Oyster Pair Set for 5,680 yen. My wife thought the “Sipping Set” (which includes wine, two raw oysters, and three appetizers) for 1,480 yen might rival the wine from the Hotel Okura and tempura Araki. We found a great restaurant. I highly recommend it!

There is a General Oyster restaurant in Hakata as well. I heard that the building closes at 21:30, and since there was little time, I ordered everything at once. I decided to skip the raw oysters for now and went for the grilled oysters, which were 4 pieces. I also ordered the seafood ajillo, which was loaded with 7 oysters, and of course, I had to get some baguette with it. I ordered a draft beer and a Chablis (Renaud Manuel) at the same time too!

I usually visit the Rekai-e store at Hakata City, but this time I came to the Solaria Plaza store for the first time! This restaurant is located on the 7th floor and it’s very spacious with a lot of seating. I had reserved the seasonal 30-piece oyster set in advance. I got to enjoy my favorite raw oysters with a variety of toppings, with seven different options to choose from! I thought some of the toppings might be a bit hit-or-miss, but every single one was delicious and exceeded my expectations. They also offered baked and fried oysters, and I particularly loved the deep-fried ones! This time, there was a half-price promotion, and on top of that, the Solaria Plaza store had a special deal that included a free drink and pasta, making it a great value for me! I enjoyed sparkling wine from lunchtime, treating myself to something special. I definitely want to visit again! (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

I visited "8TH SEA OYSTER Bar," located on the 7th floor of Solaria Plaza in Tenjin, Fukuoka City, around 1:30 PM on a Sunday with a friend. I wanted to enjoy some delicious oysters in the Tenjin area and found this place through Tabelog, which looked promising. The restaurant is bright, spacious, and open, with around 50 seats. The sofas are equipped with soft, large cushions, making it comfortable to relax. Upbeat female vocal pop songs filled the air as background music. I later learned that this restaurant is operated by General Oyster Co., Ltd., a publicly traded company. I looked over the lunch menu and found the Oyster Pair Set for 6,028 yen (tax included) to be a good deal, as it includes fresh oysters, warm oysters, a salad, soup, and a choice of two main dishes. I chose today's oyster pasta and a gratin for the mains. The set includes: - Seafood Platter - Salad - Oyster Soup - Hot Oyster Plate (choice of two mains) - Rich Uni and Bacon Carbonara - Oyster, Bacon, and Okra Peperoncino - Today's Oyster Pasta (Tomato Oyster Pasta) - Oyster and Cheese Cream Gratin with two pieces of bread - Oyster and Shellfish Risotto Additionally, by following their Instagram and posting with a specific hashtag, we received a complimentary drink, so we ordered sparkling wine and yuzu sour to toast and enjoy. The sparkling wine was smooth and delicious, while the yuzu sour was sweet and refreshing. The drink menu included: - Sparkling wine - Glass wine (red/white) - Highball - Lemon sour - Grapefruit sour - Plum sour - Yuzu sour Soft drinks: - Coffee (hot or iced) - Tea (hot or iced) - Oolong tea - Orange juice - Grapefruit juice First, the salad and oyster cup soup were brought to our table. The salad, made with lettuce, purple cabbage, and radish, was fresh and tasty, while the soup was warm and flavorful. Then, the seafood platter arrived, and it was quite impressive! It featured three types of fresh oysters along with mussels, shrimp, and crab, making it a generous serving: - Okayama Prefecture - Mushiake Venus Oyster (raw) - Hyogo Prefecture - Gaki Taisho Oyster (raw) - Lemon sauce and salmon roe oysters (raw) These carefully selected fresh oysters were creamy and delicious, and I happily enjoyed them with a squeeze of lemon. The name "8TH SEA OYSTER" refers to oysters cultivated in marine deep-sea water, which provides an ideal environment for growing oysters, differentiating them from oysters sourced from the world's seven major oceans. Next came the Hot Oyster Plate, which was equally impressive. It included: - Grilled oysters - Garlic butter baked oysters with herb bread crumbs - Fried oysters (served with tartar sauce) The potato and oyster gratin that followed was served in a small dish filled with plenty of potatoes and cheese, along with rich oysters. It came with French bread. Finally, the tomato oyster pasta arrived; the pasta was al dente, and the rich tomato sauce paired well with the oysters, making it another delicious dish. I left feeling completely satisfied after indulging in a feast of oysters. "8TH SEA OYSTER Bar" in Solaria Plaza, Fukuoka City, is bright, clean, and relaxing, offering a great selection of fresh and warm oyster dishes. I highly recommend it!

I often use the Hakata location, so I have a good impression of it. I visited for lunch and became a member, which got me a gift of oysters. I managed to eat 8 oysters by myself for lunch. Since they were fresh oysters, they were obviously delicious. However, I would like to see improvements in the service. It's true that the rules say you can't have a soup refill, but the soup really lacks ingredients. After spending nearly 4000 yen, if I were a staff member, I'd want to let customers drink as much as they want. The cost is super low, and it would ensure the customers are satisfied.

I took my mother, who loves oysters, out for lunch! We made a reservation for a lunch course, and it was more than enough to fill us up. The raw oysters were delicious, and we didn't experience any issues. I particularly enjoyed the oyster spaghetti aglio e olio; it was really tasty.

I visited because I wanted to try the cocktail oysters, but they were all just okay... Well, it was half price, so I guess that's to be expected? The prosciutto salad was quite salty, and since it was by the glass, the white wine wasn't that great either. However, the raw oysters I ordered as a single item were delicious.

I've been here many times, but this is my first experience with an all-you-can-eat. It really is delicious! This time I had oysters from four different prefectures, and I could really taste the differences in flavor depending on the region. I chose the premium option, and the best dish for me was the ikura lemon-like one. I went back for seconds several times. I definitely want to go again!

It's raining. (^^; In times like this, I often move for lunch through the Tenjin Underground Shopping Area. I visited "8TH SEA OYSTER Bar" located on the 7th floor of Solaria Plaza. I happened to find this place recently. The time was 11:45. On my way, the underground dining area at Parco was bustling with long lines, but here, the 7th floor had plenty of available seats. Solaria Plaza might be an unexpected hidden gem! Anyway, from the table I was shown, I ordered the "Tomato Risotto with Oysters and Shellfish (1,408 yen, tax included)." The ordering is done via a QR code scanned with a smartphone. Before long, the salad and a cup of oyster soup were served, followed by the risotto as the main dish. First, I tried the soup. Personally, it reminded me of a broth with no solid ingredients, evoking a sense of the sea. I wondered where I had tasted something similar before… Upon looking it up later, I found out that this place is part of the same group as "Le Quai Oyster Bar JR Hakata City." The tomato-based risotto came with two oysters and plenty of small clams. The menu photo showed scallops as well, but maybe they increased the clams in this dish, as I couldn't find any scallops this time? (laughs) If I hadn't seen the menu photo, my satisfaction level might have been a bit higher. The risotto was delicious, enhanced by olive oil. The staff were polite and even gave me a service ticket that I can use next time. With oysters becoming more delicious as the seasons change, I definitely plan to visit again. Thank you for the meal!

I used to frequently visit the oyster bar that was at Hakata Hankyu and also the one at Hakata City, so I was excited to try the new location at Solaria for lunch. When I ordered red wine, I received a sweet wine with ice in it, and it seemed the staff didn’t understand the difference between sangria and red wine. The red wine they served had spilled and stained the bottom of the glass as well. I ordered the oyster course for ¥2508. The raw oysters were delicious, but both had pieces of shell in them. On my way out, I saw a young female staff member working hard and struggling to shuck oysters, which made me understand the situation. The fried oysters were overcooked and greasy. I also ordered the oyster gratin, which I had enjoyed at another branch, but it was entirely different this time, resembling a loose, simple stew. Since I can enjoy delicious raw oysters here, I would be thrilled if the quality matched that of the other locations.

I usually go to Rekai-e at Hakata Station's Ku-ten, but this time I visited a branch that recently opened in Solaria. I prefer raw oysters over grilled ones, so the oysters I had at the oyster bar were delicious. The oyster ajillo and the oyster pasta were incredibly flavorful and very tasty.

I had been to the Ginza location before, but the Solaria location has a slightly different atmosphere inside the movie floor. However, the taste is good! It seemed busy, and the service was a bit delayed. You also order from your smartphone, which is convenient. (At the Ginza location, cheerful staff take your orders.)

At Solaria Plaza, I headed up to the 7th floor for lunch and noticed beautiful flowers at the entrance of a new restaurant. Apparently, this place opened on November 20 in the space that used to host an Italian restaurant. The menu reminded me of the "oyster restaurant" at Hakata Station's Kuuten, so I wondered if they were part of the same group. With oysters being in season, I thought it would be a great opportunity to check it out. The interior still reflects the previous establishment. I arrived just after 1:30 PM, and although the counters were nearly full, I was seated in just a few minutes, which was nice. ◆ Menu ◆ As a grand opening special, they are offering half-price "fresh oysters." I was tempted by the oyster course, but it seemed like too much for me, so I opted for the ◆ Double Lunch (1,518 yen) with an added ice coffee (220 yen), totaling 1,738 yen (tax included: cards accepted). ◆ Oyster Soup: I could barely taste the oysters; it felt more like a consommé soup. ◆ The meal included oysters prepared in two different ways. You can choose between bread or multi-grain rice, and I went for the multi-grain rice. ◆ The dish featured two fried oysters and two herb-baked oysters, served with some vegetables drizzled with French dressing and topped with "onion chips." ◆ The herb-baked oysters had a delightful butter flavor that I enjoyed. ◆ The fried oysters were on the smaller side, but paired with tartar sauce, they were tasty. However, for some, this portion might feel a bit lacking as a main dish. ◆ The multi-grain rice was served in a lighter portion. ◆ The ice coffee (+220 yen) was generously sized. It's great to enjoy oysters in two different preparations. I'd like to try the "fresh oysters" if I get the chance.

I ordered using mobile ordering. The oysters were delicious, but the other dishes were overall quite salty, which was a bit disappointing. On the positive side, the seating was spacious and nice.

The taste is decent. However, having mainly oysters can get monotonous after a while. Also, the prices are quite high...

A plate of 30 oysters. Enjoying fresh oysters and grilled oysters with various sauces this season feels like traveling abroad. It's the best!

It was delicious! I hope they have all-you-can-eat raw oysters regularly.

The restaurant has become larger.
