I visited this restaurant for the first time. Ended up having a casual drink while waiting. Had some edamame, highball, and chicken skewers to pass the time. It's interesting because it's a combination of a curry restaurant as well, and there are quite a few people eating curry here. At first it was a bit strange, but it's like a double sign feeling. The menu is quite extensive, so they have everything here, like a very convenient store. Thank you for the meal!

I passed by and was intrigued by the chicken ramen, so I decided to visit. The lunch menu offers a variety of options such as daily specials, chicken ramen, cold chicken dipping noodles, champon, plate udon, pork cutlet rice bowl, fried chicken rice bowl, chicken nanban rice bowl, ginger pork rice bowl, seasonal grilled fish rice bowl, chicken tenderloin rice bowl, fried horse mackerel rice bowl, assorted tempura rice bowl, hamburger steak rice bowl, hormone (offal) teppanyaki rice bowl, etc. The recommended items for lunch are the chicken ramen (large) with Set C (fried rice and fried chicken), the mega-sized fried chicken rice bowl, hamburger steak rice bowl, and hormone teppanyaki rice bowl with black curry sauce. The chicken ramen features a rich soup base made from boiled chicken, and the noodles are chewy and easy to eat. The chicken ham is light and tasty. The mini fried rice is satisfying in portion. The 10 pieces of garlic soy sauce flavored fried chicken in the mega-sized fried chicken rice bowl are quite filling. The hamburger steak rice bowl and hormone teppanyaki rice bowl with black curry sauce are both delicious. The black curry, which includes beef, is tasty. Overall, this chain izakaya restaurant offers a solid and convenient lunch option.

I went to the "Buaiso Hakata Sumiyoshi-dori Store" located near Yoyogi Seminar on Sumiyoshi-dori in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City on May 23, 2021 (Sunday). They offer various affordable lunch options, and there is also a drink service which makes it quite a good deal. I was tempted by the Nagasaki plate udon, but decided to go with the Chicken Ramen with Half Fried Rice Set priced at 890 yen (tax included). I also ordered an iced coffee for the drink service. The Chicken Ramen with Half Fried Rice Set arrived, and it was quite a generous portion, more like two-thirds of a full portion. It came with four large pieces of chicken chashu, and the flavor of the seaweed was also nice. The soup was delicious, rich and flavorful with the essence of chicken. The medium-thick noodles had a chewy texture that paired well with the rich chicken soup. Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for ramen at an izakaya, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. After finishing the meal, I enjoyed a hot cup of iced coffee. It was a very satisfying meal. The store is located at 4-3-18 Hakata Ekimae, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City. They are open every day.

Fukuoka-based izakaya Buaiso, which has now expanded nationwide, is a long-established restaurant. I visited Buaiso for the first time in a while, where I ordered a set of bite-sized gyoza and motsunabe. The bite-sized gyoza had exaggeratedly large wings, but tasted delicious. The motsunabe had larger pieces of motsu than I expected, with a chewy texture and a slightly sweet soy sauce-based soup. As always, the prices were reasonable.

I visited for the first time in about 20 years, but I won't be going back. The taste is not the issue, but the attitude of the staff is unacceptable.

I went there without a reservation, so the staff seemed busy, but the food was delicious. The omurice was fluffy and tasty, and the gyoza was also delicious.

The perfect place for a company drinking party. It's great fun to be in charge of organizing, as even big eaters and drinkers won't be a problem with just ¥3000 per person. They have classic dishes like salad, fried chicken, omurice, pasta, and motsunabe that everyone loves, so you can relax and enjoy.

At GTE's point.

The motsunabe was delicious! The seared mentaiko was the best! It would have been even better if there were some individual sashimi options, but it was still a night where I could enjoy the taste of Fukuoka! Thank you!

All-you-can-eat and drink for 3,500 yen! The motsunabe (tripe hot pot) was delicious. There were also plenty of side menu options, so I was able to eat to my heart's content.

I used the all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink deal for 3300 yen. I think it's a good value. The taste is okay, neither good nor bad.

I continued my activities in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, and before I knew it, it was past noon and I suddenly felt very hungry. (*´Д`*) I thought, "Uh-oh!" and decided to look for a nearby restaurant where I could have lunch. I found a place called "Buaiso Hakata Sumiyoshi Street Store" on the first floor of the Sun Life Center Building on Sumiyoshi Street, which was open for lunch, so I went inside. I sat at a vacant table and saw a sign above the counter that read "Buaiso - without love or hatred," with the meaning of "I wish I could live like the wind, without love or hatred" written on it. While sipping water at the table, I ordered a dish that caught my eye from the menu. After waiting for about 8 minutes, my order of Oita Nakatsu Karaage Set for 720 yen was served. The set included a regular portion of rice, miso soup, pickles, a small plate of pickled tofu and okara, a salad with fresh vegetables, and karaage on a single plate. I poured dressing on the salad and tried the Oita Nakatsu Karaage Set. The freshly fried Oita Nakatsu Karaage was crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside, with meat juices oozing out as I bit into it. It was incredibly delicious, and the rice and miso soup tasted great as well. I finished the meal completely satisfied! The Oita Nakatsu Karaage Set already had a good amount of food, but they also offer a "Mega Portion Menu" with the Oita Nakatsu Mega Karaage Set for 980 yen, in case you want to enjoy more karaage. It's worth considering if you want to have more of this delicious karaage.

I don't usually pass through the area around Hakata Station 4-chome. I had some business there after a long time, so I decided to have lunch as well. There aren't many restaurants around, so I ended up going to "Buaiso" near the bus stop. It brought back memories... Buaiso, the place we used to go to after high school. It's like a traditional old man's restaurant, right? I wonder if it's still the same. The daily lunch special was 670 yen. I chose the fish option, which was grilled horse mackerel. It was quite salty, typical of a pub-style grilled fish. Well, it can't be helped. It would have been nice if there were more vegetables on the side. The side dishes and miso soup were average... oh well.

The location is right next to a busy bus stop, so there are no issues with public transportation. The restaurant has a typical izakaya atmosphere both on the outside and inside. I sat at a table which was reasonably spacious and comfortable. I used a coupon to order the 'all-you-can-drink' option for 888 yen. The alcohol selection was not the best, but for the price, it was acceptable. I also ordered various dishes, all of which had average taste but were cheap. However, the standout dish was the 'Shanghai Seafood Yakisoba' for 682 yen. It was excellent, with a unique flavor and plenty of seafood like shrimp and squid. Highly recommended dish!

I often see this restaurant in Fukuoka city, so I visited on a weekday. I ordered beer, sashimi, and motsunabe. Since it was a late weekday, the service was quick and the taste was decent. They have a variety of dishes and drinks, so it's good for when you want to try different things or for company parties. The prices are reasonable, so it might be good for student gatherings as well. They have a good capacity. However, since they have multiple locations, the service quality may vary depending on the staff. (That's understandable though) It might not be the best place for a quiet drink or a date...

<December 2010 revisit> The company's year-end party was at Buaiso, where we enjoyed all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink for 2980 yen for 2 hours. We could order our favorite items from the food menu individually. The first two items were salad and fried chicken & potatoes, which were delicious. After that, everyone enjoyed eating and drinking according to their preferences, from older to younger guests. The motsunabe (offal hot pot) was a special reward for those who made reservations in advance. The drinks included bottled beer, wine, shochu, highballs, fruit liquor, cocktails, etc. Shochu was served in a 5-cup bottle with glass set. Desserts were also all-you-can-eat, with a variety of bite-sized options to enjoy. <June 2010 first visit> I decided to try Buaiso Hakata store for lunch, as it was open on weekdays. I ordered the daily lunch special, which was a bit different from what I expected. The lighting was dim for a lunch place, but it was understandable since it's mainly an izakaya for evenings. I was seated at the counter and observed the kitchen while waiting for my food. Despite having a good number of staff, the service felt a bit slow. The daily lunch special was priced at 650 yen and the simmered hamburger steak was not as satisfying as the neighboring table's fried chicken set. The tray and dishes lacked balance, and it would have been better if they had left a water pitcher on the table. Even when I finally managed to ask for a refill, it took a while for the server to come and pour the water. Overall, the experience was a bit disappointing, in line with the name of the restaurant itself.

Head to Buaiso Hakata store! Founded in Fukuoka in 1975, this izakaya has a 35-year history. With affordable prices, it's easy to just drop by. The interior is spacious with 100 seats, including hori-gotatsu and counter seats, as well as a tatami room for up to 44 people. Many people were ordering motsunabe, so we did too! It was packed with plenty of "motsu" and very filling! They have a wide variety of menus representing Hakata, including street food options, making it quite enjoyable!

I go to this restaurant occasionally with friends! We often go for the all-you-can-eat and drink option (*´∀`*) The other day, we ordered dishes separately and I really love the mentaiko omelette, it's so delicious! (≧∇≦) Just that alone can make you full~ haha. I also like motsunabe and fried cartilage. The food is pretty good, but the staff can be a bit iffy...（ ; ; ）I used to work in customer service, so I don't think I'm being too harsh. I just wish they would try a bit harder~ (〃^∇^)o_彡☆

It was very reasonable and I used to use it a lot when I was a student with no money. I happened to pass by and felt the urge to go in after a long time, so I had lunch feeling like a student. I thought I was in a student mood, but of course, since it's near Hakata Station, most of the customers are working adults. The restaurant is more like a family restaurant with tatami rooms than an izakaya, with a refreshing interior. There were many choices for lunch, and I had the fried sardine set meal. There were also many hearty set meals such as cutlets and hormone grills, as well as several types of noodles. It's a bit disappointing that there are more fried meat dishes and fewer fish dishes, but since it's an izakaya, I guess that's how it is. The fry was a large fillet the size of a man's palm, with a crispy coating. And two pieces came out. Of course, it was freshly fried, thick and delicious. It was a lunch from a chain izakaya, and the price was cheap at 650 yen, so I was satisfied with a full stomach. If there were more grilled fish or refreshing dishes, I think I will use it again from time to time.

At Yodobashi Camera on the Hakata Station side, I searched for wireless earphones and it was past 3:00 PM. I decided to go to "Buaiso Hakata Sumiyoshi-dori Store." Their light drinking set includes one drink, a bite-sized gyoza, and motsunabe for 1,000 yen, so I had to go. When I arrived at 3:20 PM, I was the first customer as there were no other customers yet. I sat comfortably at the counter. I ordered a fragrant ale beer and added a Beam Highball, which was only 100 yen (excluding tax) during Happy Hour. It was a wallet-friendly price. After a while, I was served Hakata bite-sized gyoza in a hot iron pot with the crispy side facing up. At the same time, the motsunabe on the table burner started to boil. The motsunabe had a soy sauce base and no smell of offal. It had plenty of cabbage, as well as leeks and burdock. As it simmered, the fat from the offal melted into the soup, enhancing the flavor. When I used the yuzu pepper that came with the gyoza in the motsunabe, it added a refreshing taste. If you ask the staff, they will add more soup for free. The bill came to 1,110 yen. Thanks to the light drinking guide, there were no cheap appetizers like at the Chikushi-guchi store, so I think this was the most satisfying Buaiso experience. It was delicious. Thank you.
