Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan Food Guide: 10 Japanese food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Fukuoka
Reviews on Japanese food in Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. Fukuoka is a gourmet paradise... "providing you're not vegetarian," say travelers on our Fukuoka forum! It's right on Genkai Sea, and the seafood is fresh and abundant. So is Fukuoka-style ramen, which you can find at the city's famous yatai (outdoor stalls) as well as modern restaurants. Walk off your meal at Ohori Park and the nearby Fukuoka Castle ruins.

Hard to find but worth the getting lost underneath the station for this place. No English menu - you have to pick from the pictures outside - and then purchase tickets from the vending machine!! But food is great quality and staff are super friendly. Lots of great vegetarian options too - in fact the restaurants 'special' is vegetarian tempura and it was yummy!

Ippudo, our ramen restaurant, was first established in 1985 in Hakata, Fukuoka. Currently in 2017, we have over 100 stores throughout Japan. In 1990, our founder, Shigemi Kawahara, entered the Hall of Fame for winning the the ramen competition of the show

Bit more expensive than most ramen restaurants and probably not worth going out of the way for...but it's still great ramen and its convenient location in Hakata station was perfect as we had an hour to kill between trains...the staff were friendly and all spoke pretty good English...

i stumbled on this lovely restaurant in Fukuoka @ the Parco department store B1. We actually had intended to dine at one of the Yatai stalls that evening, but the weather was appalling and it seemed that the particular stall didn't open. Anyway, we were fortunate enough to try the restaurant and had their famous Hamburger steak and Wagyu style steaks as well. The meal was excellent, absolutely loved the whole DIY bbq concept. The meats were well seasoned and came with a choice of dipping sauces. We went for the standard bbq sauce and a Ponzu one as well. I only noticed this place as it was the only restaurant that had a constant queue. I know the japanese like to queue, but this was WELL worth it!!!!! It's worth mentioning that there are a chain of these restaurants dotted around, not sure exactly where, as the website is in Japanese, but would assume that it could be found in other major cities like Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.

Based on positive reviews we tried this local favourite and was not disappointed. We had the motsunabe shabu shabu style which had a delicious soup broth and a side dipping sauce that was an excellent accompaniment to the various meat parts in the stew. There was also a lot of vegetables and tofu that helped fill you up for lunch or dinner. Highly recommend this place.

I agree with a previous reviewer that this was the absolute highlight of my visit to Fukuoka. An authentic but accessible Japanese seafood experience. Very friendly service including a waiter who spoke fluent English and an English menu. A subtle but exquisite setting sitting at a bar around fish tanks, watching them get caught. The sashimi was divine, including fugu. The local sake also the best Iâve had in Japan.Almost worth coming back to Fukuoka just to come here again!

Bream Cha-Tsuke, katsu , tempura, sashimi lunch meals were all 1080 yen each. 1.5 x more bream set for 1620 yen.Don't miss trying the dried fish powder which can be sprinkled on rice.We reserved the only live squid available on that day, eaten as sashimi and head part as tempura.Ika Tsukuri would range 3000-10000 yen, depending on its sizeThe place was filled at 12 noon with nearby office workers, better to go at 1 pm after the peak lunch hour.Instruction of consuming Bream Cha-Tsuke:first bowl - mix bream with sauce and wasabi, pour onto ricesecond bowl - addition of green tea onto riceEnglish menu available

Hands down, hand on heart the bestest best unagi I have ever had. So yummy! Perfectly seasoned and grilled to a slight crisp. Do yourself a favour and order at least 4 pieces. There is no difference between the different options for the unagi. Either go for the donburi (bowl) with the eel served on rice or the kabayaki which serves the eel separately. As many have stated, they accept only cash. Ambience is peaceful and comfortable. Western seating in a traditional setting. This will be my must go eat in Fukuoka!

I was recommended by local to this best tempura place in Fukuoka. Originally we wanted to visit Tenjin's branch but it was closed. When we arrive on a Sunday night, there is quite a long queue and we waited for at least 30-45mins for that.They served the item one by one. Once it comes out from the deep fried, it served to you immediately. So it is fresh and nice. I like the batter, mine slightly oily but my friend's one just nice. There are 4 kinds of side dishes, most table have 3 only, probably because the sweet potatoes are not available anymore. I like the Daikon and sweet potatoes. Tempura is really nice with the generous sauce they gave. If you are here and transport is not an issue(of course with long queue), you should try this.
