Matsuya — Restaurant in Fukuoka

I wanted to experience the life the way locals lived it. what better way to start your day at the budget food chain that is open all the time!.

The machine that you will use to place an order is multilingual. BUT that is pretty useless, as they have explained most of the things in english alphabet, but still in japanese. So you will know how to pronounce it, BUT you will not know what it is till you eat it.. NEVERTHLESS there are photos that all look the same, as they are all deep fried in the same oil.
