"Fukuoka's Soul Food" is a menu that most Fukuoka residents were unaware of until the secret Kenmin Show fabricated it. It consists of small pieces of pork belly-like meat and cabbage stir-fried with a large amount of garlic, and served on a hot iron plate in a style called "yakiniku." The dish is mainly cabbage, with over 90% of it being cabbage, and it is unclear how it differs from a vegetable stir-fry, but it has been known as "yakiniku" here. Originally, it was a menu item that existed in the area around JR Minami-Fukuoka Station in the southern part of Fukuoka City, mostly from individual shops. Now, with the imitation of the Kenmin Show by local TV stations, branches and copycat stores have emerged, so it has become more widespread, but it remains a local food in the southern part of Fukuoka City. The original store has recently expanded and opened multiple branches, including one in the central area of Fukuoka City. The shiny new store has a counter facing the wall and table seating in the back. The menu consists only of "yakiniku." The portions are displayed in "sheets" for some reason, with four options: "1 sheet," "1.5 sheets," "double," and "triple," with rice available in large, medium, and small sizes with miso soup. I chose the "1.5 sheets of yakiniku (1,300 yen)" with medium rice (200 yen) and a medium bottle of beer. After about a 10-minute wait, the sizzling iron plate arrived. Steam rose up vigorously, filled with the smell of garlic. The meat scattered among the mountain of cabbage. I tried the cabbage first, and it was spicy. The large amount of garlic gives it a volatile spiciness that stimulates the tongue. This spiciness reminded me of something, and then I remembered that it was the same as "patan" from Episode 2 of "The Lonely Gourmet Season 3." It had a strong spiciness (or rather, stimulation) with a lot of minced garlic and soy sauce dressing on pasta-like noodles. And the bite-sized meat was firm. It had quite a chewy texture. However, as you chew, the umami flavor seeps out, indicating that it is offal meat. The cabbage, which had become soft, and the tough meat felt somewhat strange when eaten together, so I ended up eating them separately. Another distinctive feature was the spicy miso and the long, thin wooden pieces on the table. You place these wooden pieces under one side of the iron plate, dissolve the spicy miso in the oil accumulated on the other side, and create a kind of chili oil. When you dip the meat or cabbage in this mixture, it adds a different spiciness and umami flavor, allowing you to enjoy it without getting tired. The overall flavor was rich, and the rice and beer went well with it, making it easy to eat. It's perfect for a leisurely dinner alone. The price of 1,500 yen for 1.5 sheets with rice may seem a bit high considering the toughness of the meat, but I recommend experiencing this local B-class gourmet food from the southern part of Fukuoka City.

The deliciousness was as great as ever. The tables and chopstick holders were clean. Electronic payment was not working, so only cash was accepted. A customer who didn't have cash couldn't buy a meal ticket and had to leave. It's common for systems to have malfunctions or issues, whether it's QR codes or credit cards. It's a good idea to always bring cash. It's a shame for the person who came all the way to the restaurant but had to leave without eating. Bikkuri Tei is the best.

I saw this restaurant on a TV show and wanted to try it out. Even though it was still a bit early for dinner, there were a few customers already inside, showing that it was popular. The cabbage was delicious. I preferred not to use the miso on the table. The floor inside the restaurant was sticky.

Quick, delicious, and affordable! I ordered 1.5 servings of meat with a side of rice (with miso soup) and a beer. Eventually, I also ordered a lemon sour, which was refreshing and satisfying. The draft beer is Sapporo. For women or light eaters, the regular portion is probably enough, but for men, 1.5 servings is just right. The spicy miso goes well with both the beer and the rice. It was really delicious. The restroom is average but they provide mouthwash. After finishing the meal, your breath will definitely smell like garlic, so it might be too strong for those who don't like garlic. Self-service water is available in the middle of the restaurant. The only downside is the smell - it sticks to your clothes and hair, so I wouldn't go in the winter. It's best to go in warm weather, when you can easily wash your casual clothes afterwards. It's a personal choice, but I wouldn't go in a fancy dress. I went on a holiday around 5:00 PM and it was relatively empty. You have to buy a meal ticket in advance. They don't accept cards. They also offer takeout.

Bikkuri-tei Honten Akasaka branch in Fukuoka, a famous restaurant often featured on TV, serves a popular soul food dish. It consists of pork, sagari (skirt steak), and cabbage cooked on a hot iron plate. A wooden clog is placed underneath the plate, which is then tilted to drain the excess fat. A secret miso sauce is melted in the accumulated fat, creating a deliciously spicy and garlicky flavor. The dish is quite rich and satisfying, with the option to choose the amount of meat in four different levels. The restaurant is open all day, making it convenient to visit. Please note that there is a possibility of lingering smells due to the cooking process. For more details, visit https://lit.link/Ryoki. Provided by: Ryoji Yoshida.

Wow, delicious!! This soul food is so addictive. It was also featured on a secret regional TV show. Tamori-san likes it too, and many locals in Hakata recommend it, so I decided to try it out. It's a simple dish of stir-fried meat and cabbage served on a hot iron plate. They give you a paper sheet to protect from splashing oil. They place a wooden stick under one side of the plate to make it slant. The flavorful oil collects at the bottom, where they mix it with their secret spicy miso for dipping. It's so good with rice, you won't be able to stop eating! The restaurant is filled with smoke, and the smell sticks to your clothes. The dish has a strong garlic flavor, so be careful about your plans after eating. Be cautious of a similarly named but unrelated restaurant. Even after finishing, I want to eat it again! I'm addicted to it now!!

In the evening, I went in the rain. I was able to enter the restaurant without waiting as it was early. There were many staff members, but the servers in the hall were not Japanese. Orders were not taken verbally, and for beer refills, you had to get up from your seat and go to the order machine near the entrance to pay, which was a bit of a hassle. I enjoyed a hot and smoky Hormone Yaki with plenty of cabbage on the sizzling hot plate, along with dipping sauce and spicy miso. It was perfect with rice and beer, a great dish for grilling. The restaurant got busier later on with families, couples, and students. It's a hearty meal, but even solo female diners were there, so it's suitable for anyone looking for a satisfying meal!

I entered the restaurant around 5:00 PM. It was not crowded. I ordered a 1.5 serving, beer, and rice set. The food was consistently delicious. However, the ventilation was not good, so the smell tends to stick to your clothes and hair. I wouldn't recommend going in the winter for this reason. You might end up having to dry clean your down jacket because of the smell, haha. But the food is so good that I still go despite this. Eating with spicy miso sauce makes the beer and rice irresistible. Even women could probably handle a 1.5 serving, but if you add rice, it's quite a lot, so maybe start with a regular serving. I recommend the 1.5 serving for men! As the weather gets warmer, I'll probably go more often since it's easy to wash clothes right away. In the summer, I recommend going in a T-shirt. It's easy to wash. Other than the smell issue, everything else is great. I'm satisfied with the portion size, taste, and service!

I used the counter seats. It was Sunday afternoon, but it wasn't too crowded and I was seated right away. The portion was generous, with plenty of vegetables and meat, recommended for women. The unique way of eating, dissolving miso in oil, was interesting.

When you come to Fukuoka, you can't miss Bikutei. I usually went to the main store during the day and lined up, but this time I tried the Akasaka store at night. No line! Maybe because it's night? I ordered using the touch panel at the entrance. I got a double with rice. If you order rice, it disappears halfway through eating (laughs). It's a hassle to go back to the touch panel at the entrance every time you want to add more rice, but it's okay because it's delicious.

Before going to Fukuoka, I checked out this restaurant, "Bikkuritei Honke Akasaka Store." It seems to be a soul food of Fukuoka. It has been featured on TV shows like Kenmin Show. I ordered the following at the ticket machine: 1 piece of grilled meat for 900 yen. I'm on a diet, so I didn't get rice. It turns out rice and miso soup are not included and are sold separately, which isn't very cost-effective. When the dish arrived, there was a lot of smoke coming out from the iron plate! It seemed like the smell could stick to you. The main dish was cabbage with a little bit of meat mixed in. It had a salty garlic flavor that made me crave rice! The meat was tough and not that great. It was a bit disappointing as I had high expectations. It was like a Tokyo-style "juju-yaki." I was surprised. The service was good though. Thank you for the meal.

Fukuoka's soul food!!! I grew up eating this, so when I go back home, I have to go there. The Akasaka branch is new and the interior is beautiful and calming. The taste is consistently delicious no matter which branch you go to!!! The garlic and spicy miso make it irresistible. It's addictive. I highly recommend trying it out!!!

I finally had the opportunity to try teppanyaki grilled meat, which I had been curious about from TV shows like Kenmin Show. What I was looking for was more about volume and impact rather than taste. However, as soon as I entered the restaurant, I was greeted with a different kind of impact. The inside of the restaurant was smoky, the floor was slippery, and the tables were sticky, giving off a disappointing vibe from the start. I ordered 1.5 servings of meat (1,300 yen) and a medium portion of rice (200 yen), which was not cheap. When the food arrived, the volume was decent, but it was mainly cabbage, so it wasn't as much as I had hoped for. At first, the garlic punch and saltiness made it enjoyable to eat, but it started to taste too salty as I continued. As described, when you tilt the teppan and add the spicy miso, it becomes even saltier, raising your blood pressure. Rather than being rich in flavor, it was just salty. The price was not cheap either, so overall, it was a bit disappointing. To make matters worse, my food was served before the person next to me, creating an awkward situation, so I hurriedly finished eating and left. Considering the hygiene aspect as well, I would rate this experience as mediocre.

I went in because the menu board looked delicious, but unfortunately, it turned out to be disappointing. I ordered the garlic soy sauce cabbage stir-fry for 1,300 yen, which was 1.5 times the price of 900 yen, and was charged extra for rice. I felt that it was expensive compared to the portion size. The taste was also disappointing, as the spiciness was too overpowering and the flavor was too strong. I regret going in.

I'm from Fukuoka prefecture, but honestly, I don't know much about Fukuoka, so I often learn about it by getting recommendations from friends. I went to a restaurant recommended by a friend as Fukuoka's soul food. Here is my review of "Bikkuri Tei Honke Akasaka Store": "Bikkuri Tei Honke Akasaka Store" is said to be Fukuoka's soul food, but I had never heard of it before. It seems to be a famous restaurant that has been featured on TV shows like "Himitsu no Kenmin SHOW", but as a true Hakata girl, why didn't I know about it? Are there any fellow Hakata girls out there? Since it was the end of the year, I was worried if it would be crowded, but I found out that it was not, so I thought it was fate and decided to go, thinking that I couldn't end the year without trying soul food. You order in advance using a touch panel system at "Bikkuri Tei Honke Akasaka Store". The menu is simple, offering options like BBQ (1, 1.5, double, triple) and rice (small, medium, large). For payment, you can use cashless options like PayPay, auPAY, Merpay, BankPay, YuchoPay, d Payment, or cash. Credit cards are not accepted. I paid with PayPay. The interior of the restaurant is cozy, with a counter seat setup similar to Ichiran. It's not very spacious, and you can even see the kitchen from your seat. The place is filled with the smell of garlic, so I recommend not wearing your best clothes. I ordered a small rice (comes with miso soup) for 150 yen and BBQ (1 piece) for 900 yen. The portion size of the rice was sufficient even for the small option. The BBQ surprised me with its generous portion. The key to enjoying the food is the special miso seasoning, similar to the seasoning used in Korean dish Tteokgalbi. When mixed with the fat, it transforms into a delicious flavor that keeps you coming back for more. The restaurant is located near Akasaka Station on the Fukuoka subway. It has good access, but I wonder if tourists would go out of their way to visit Akasaka. As a local, I don't really have a sense of that area. After leaving the restaurant, I was surprised by how much I smelled like garlic. Could that be why the restaurant is called Bikkuri Tei Honke? If you're thinking of visiting "Bikkuri Tei Honke", I recommend planning your schedule accordingly. It's a popular spot, so be aware of the many imitation restaurants that have popped up. I felt like a true Hakata girl after trying Fukuoka's soul food (laughs).

On a Saturday evening before dinner time. There is a counter and tables, making it easy for solo diners. You can get your own water and hand towels. They accept PayPay at the ticket machine. I ordered 1.5 slices of yakiniku for 1300 yen. When I tried it, I found it to be salty! It seems like it's meant to be eaten with rice (or beer, etc.). Following the recommended way of eating, I dipped it in the oil and miso sauce and it was quite delicious. I recommend getting a large serving of rice when you're hungry.

In December 2022, I visited the original location of "Bikkuri Tei Honke" in Akasaka, Hakata. This restaurant specializes in teppanyaki-style yakiniku and was established in 1963 in Minami-Fukuoka. Despite the smoky atmosphere and the greasy feeling that sticks to your clothes, I was prepared for it and didn't mind as I had changed into casual attire. The menu is simple, offering only yakiniku, rice, and miso soup. I ordered one piece of yakiniku with rice (medium) and miso soup. The dish arrived, consisting of meat stir-fried in special garlic sauce with plenty of cabbage. It was a simple yet satisfying meal that went well with the rice. I also enjoyed changing the flavor by adding the secret miso sauce halfway through. Overall, it was a delicious meal, and I even felt the garlic effect on the train ride back the next day.

"Fukuoka's famous B-class gourmet restaurant 'Bikkuri-tei Honke'. Last time I tried to have lunch there, but it was too crowded on a Saturday, so I gave up. I went around 8:30 pm this time, but the restaurant was full and there were two people waiting outside. I ordered grilled meat for 1300 yen. They put wooden clogs on the hot plate, and you dissolve the spicy miso in the accumulated juice to eat it. It's originally very garlicky and salty. The restaurant is quite popular and often appears on TV, but it didn't impress me that much. The meat had a lot of gristle and was tough. I regret not getting more quantity. If it's going to cost over 1500 yen with rice and miso soup, then... I don't know. Also, the ventilation in the kitchen wasn't working well, and smoke was coming into the dining area. I might not visit again anytime soon."

After watching it on TV, I was curious about this place. Excitedly opening the door, I was greeted with a white cloud of smoke rising from the hot plate, obscuring the view inside (laughs). Leaving the door open, the smoke eventually cleared and I could see inside. Glancing around, I noticed that the crowd was mostly young people! And no wonder, with the generous servings of garlic-infused teppanyaki. Mixing the special miso and oil, I savored the flavors. The meat was delicious, of course, but the cabbage was also great. I left feeling full and satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

This time, I went to Bikkuri-tei in Fukuoka Prefecture to try their local B-grade gourmet dish, Yakiniku Teppan. Yakiniku Teppan is a grilled dish with garlic-flavored meat and cabbage cooked on an iron plate. The iron plate is tilted with wooden blocks underneath, oil is poured to one side, and spicy miso is used to dip the meat and cabbage. It's a style that captivates everyone. The location is near Akasaka Station in Fukuoka Prefecture, and there was plenty of space in the restaurant around 7:30 PM on weekdays. The Yakiniku dish (1.5 servings) costs 1,300 yen. It's a perfect dish to enjoy with alcohol as a single item menu. The restaurant was filled with smoke from cooking, but don't worry, the portion of meat was actually quite generous. First, I tried the meat as it is. The meat was Sagari, offering a firm texture with a good balance of saltiness and garlic flavor. The oil-coated cabbage was also delicious. Next, it was time for the wooden blocks! By tilting the iron plate and melting the spicy miso in the oil, dipping the meat in the sauce and eating it was just amazing. The spiciness and richness added to the dish made it irresistible, and it was perfect with alcohol. It was a delicious meal, and Fukuoka never disappoints when it comes to food.

When I went to Fukuoka, I decided to try Bikkuri Tei, and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was! I ordered the meat set with 1.5 servings of rice, but ended up getting a second helping of rice because it was so good! Mixing in the secret miso sauce made it even better! However, the smoke inside the restaurant was quite intense.
