Yayoiken Chikushiguchi — Restaurant in Fukuoka

Wanted to try this place cause we had one in Sydney. I was in the area Nov 2022. I walked in alone wanting to get a early dinner around 5:45pm, store was pretty empty. Ladies at the counter( not very friendly) told me they were full and said no place for me. Not sure if this was because I spoke English to them, I was very polite, never had an issues with other restaurants before on the same trip, everyone else were friendly. 🤷🏻‍♀️The 2 Japanese ladies behind me were...

Really liked the standard set we ordered - Sukiyaki set and Chicken Nanban set. Water and rice (yes rice) are free flow. The service staff don’t really speak English but you probably don’t need to speak to them cause the machine with which you order your food has an English version. The tables we had and those we saw are very clean as well. It’s a good place to grab a quick meal before heading off somewhere...

Visited YAYOI Chikushi Entrance Branch やよい軒 筑紫口店 in October. The serve up a variety of set meals.

You order at the vending machine inside the front of the restaurant. We got the pork loin with shrimp set (1010 yen) and the eggplant and grilled fish set (1050 yen) and a ginger ale (150 yen). Pretty good price for the food you get.

Liked the sauce on the eggplant. Had silky soft tofu...
