First visit! We went to a restaurant on the 3rd floor of the Gallery Hakata Building, right outside Hakata Station Chikushi Exit. They offer a 120-minute all-you-can-eat and drink option for 2500 yen (excluding tax), which is quite a bargain, so I went with my friends. Apparently, there are 100 items on the all-you-can-eat menu, and you can eat as much as you want from them! For those who want to drink beer, you can upgrade to a premium all-you-can-drink option for an additional 550 yen! They offer a wide variety of dishes including salads, sashimi, appetizers, teppanyaki, fried foods, specialty items, hot pot, rice dishes, Chinese cuisine, oden, and desserts! I ordered miso-flavored motsunabe, nori salt potato, consomme potato, tofu salad, tamago kake gohan (egg over rice), fried chicken, mapo tofu, yangnyeom chicken, ice cream, and many more. The portion size for each dish is not too big, which is great because I wanted to try various dishes. I was torn between soy sauce and miso flavors for the motsunabe but ended up choosing miso, which was delicious! The hot pot portion is slightly smaller than a regular serving, which was a relief as I didn't want to get too full just from the hot pot. The tofu salad was really tasty! I don't usually eat a lot of vegetables, so it was nice to enjoy them in a delicious way. The menu listed milk ice cream, but we actually got round fruit ice cream, which was a pleasant surprise as I preferred fruit ice cream after eating a lot. The restaurant has 152 seats, and there were many people having company gatherings and celebrations, creating a lively atmosphere! Since it's an online ordering system, we didn't have to flag down a waiter, which was very convenient! Overall, it's a cost-effective and user-friendly restaurant. Thank you for the meal.
