Hakata Amano — Restaurant in Fukuoka

The worst. Unkind, Discriminatory, Unsanitary They didn't give us the menu before entering, and after we sitting in the guiding seat, no one come until we asked for water. The cup we received had a fishy smell, maybe not washed enough. (We were the only ones who had different black cup compared to all the tables, and we could see the cups -provided as a base- on the table near the kitchen.) When they served the food, we called the staff for the cup exchange. But they ignored us. They seemed to discriminate against foreigners, considering that they provided water and napkins to other customers before and next from us, and also provided water refills on their own. They also use informal language, such as asking my party (including me, two people) "なに?" When we pay food. Among all the places we visited during our trip, the worst... I'll never ever go here again. Especially CoriAㅏ에서 ...

Prices were fair and the portions were generous; I just wished the flavor on the mentai was a bit heavier. Overall a good experience, but nothing to...

First trip to Kyushu. First meal in Hakata upon arrival from Fukuoka Airport via the Airport Subway Line. Chose this restaurant among many others as my wife wanted to try the Mentaiko dish. Service is reasonably good. The Mentaiko is fresh but very salty. It comes with a small pot of dried seaweed stock to pour over the preserved fish roe. The other dish is the pork katsudon with onions and egg. Their version is more soupy inst5of a sauce but very sweet. Extreme opposite. Overall, it is still a good meal. Will visit again on our final part of our trip...
