Red Rock Hakata Daimyo — Restaurant in Fukuoka

🍖 Red Rock Fukuoka – Where Beef Meets Bliss & Beer is the Sidekick 🍺

Tucked away in the bustling heart of Fukuoka, Red Rock isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a meaty pilgrimage. And if you’re a fan of tender beef, cold beer, and satisfying plates that hit like a flavor freight train, this place is your culinary temple.

Let’s talk about the steak donburi first: a glorious lacquered box filled with perfectly sliced, medium-rare beef so tender it practically sighed when I picked it up with my chopsticks. Each piece is lightly kissed with a savory soy-based sauce and garnished with a delicate sprinkle of sprouts, laid out like edible origami over fluffy white rice. It’s simple. It's elegant. It’s deliciously dangerous—because you will want a second one.

Then there’s the Japanese curry rice, crowned with a sunny-side-up egg that was practically glowing with yolky optimism. The curry? Rich, smooth, and packing just the right level of spice, coating each grain of rice like a warm hug. Add in a fresh salad drizzled with creamy dressing and you’ve got yourself a full flavor spectrum on one plate.

And to wash it all down? Sapporo on tap—tall, crisp, and ice-cold. Honestly, this beer is the MVP. Light enough to complement the heavy-hitters on your plate, but bold enough to make you say, “Kanpai!” with enthusiasm.

The Vibe? Cozy and casual with the low buzz of happy diners and sizzling plates. It’s not fussy—it’s focused. On flavor, on portion, and on giving your tastebuds a reason to high-five each other.

Final Verdict: 🥩 10/10 for the beef don. 🍛 9/10 for the curry magic. 🍺 11/10 for that frosty Sapporo.

Red Rock feels like a stone cold restaurant compared to most places in town. Starting with no menus at the rather small tables but a machine in front of the door outside. The staff seemed rather bored and barely said a word either. In general, the restaurant made a quiet impression.

The food, however, made a great first impression! It looked delicious, but the flavor and texture were somewhat...

The food was good. We got the roast beef don and it was very tender. It was smaller than expected and we ordered the large. The pictures made it look bigger. The waitress/staff was rude to us. She slammed the cups on our table. No one did their normal greeting of welcome or thank you. I would rather go to a different location than to go back to this one. I wouldn't recommend this location to...
