The food was absolutely delightful, and the service staff were incredibly friendly. This restaurant would be a fantastic choice for a romantic date; the atmosphere was serene and relaxing. Interestingly, one of my Chinese classmates from Kumamoto University's Japanese class invited me to join them for dinner, and we ended up here. The moment I walked in, I realized it exuded an air of elegance and sophistication, perhaps tailored for business meetings with a formal dress code. I felt a bit self-conscious because I was dressed casually, but I didn't want to disrespect my classmate's invitation. What's even more amusing is that when we placed our orders, my classmate, who didn't speak any Japanese, was caught off guard. The waiter, seeing this, switched to English, which only made my classmate more anxious and pointed to me to take over. I nervously attempted to use my limited Japanese skills to put the waiter at ease. Despite the initial awkwardness, we had a great time, and the food was especially enjoyable for me since my classmate covered the bill. 🤣

This is the restaurant where the famous Kumamoto dish "Taipi-en" originated. It gets crowded because both locals and tourists want to try the famous dish, but you can get a numbered ticket on the first floor and come back at the estimated time. The dish is made with a light seafood stock soup, topped with glass noodles and plenty of vegetables. During the summer, a version filled with lots of summer vegetables is available for a limited time only.

Had the clam taipien and the normal one, both teishoku. Had to add 100 yen for the clam seasonal one. There was 3 tiny clams in it, but the soup base was the same as the normal taipien. So don’t recommend changing it to the clam one, unless you really want to eat three tiny pieces of clams for 100 yen. The noodle in the soup was very little There wasn’t much queue maybe because we came early and on a working day. The restaurant is more classy than I expected, overall it was quite disappointing for me. If you look at the photo, can really tell the difference between clam and normal.

After sightseeing at the Kumamoto castle, we found this place, 10 minutes walk from the tourist area. We had to wait for around 25 minutes but it was worth it, the food was very good presented, the size of the portions, reasonable and everything was delicious. You also get a free pot of delicious cold tea with your meal. I would definitely go back. Reserve in advance if you want to avoid waiting.

このお店は非常に人気があるため、私たちは数週間前からネットで予約を取りました。日曜日の夜に来店したとき、大雨の影響か、お客さんはいつもより少なかったです。 店内の装飾はとてもきれいで、高級感があり、窓際の席もとても快適でした。私たちはワクワクしながら、スマホで注文を行い、送信しました。しかし、注文をした後から悪夢が始まりました。 周りのお客さんは来ては帰り、私たちより遅く来たお客さんも食事を終えて去っていきました。注文から40分が経過しても、私たちの料理は一つも出てこず、その間も何の説明もありませんでした。 我慢の限界で、呼び鈴を押して店員に尋ねたところ、驚いたことに、厨房には私たちの注文が届いていなかったのです!(スマホでは送信成功と表示され、先に注文した無料のお茶は出されていたのに) 結局、私たちは40分も無駄に待つことになりました。店員は状況を説明し、私たちのスマホで再度注文を送り直しました。 その後、注文を送信してから約1時間後に、全ての料理がやっとテーブルに運ばれました。こんなに待たされるとは思いませんでした。お祝いの気分もすっかり失せました。 こんなひどい待遇を受けたのに、店側から何の謝罪もありませんでした。このような価格帯のお店で、これほどひどいサービスを受けるなんて、本当に耐えられません。 料理についても、特に感動するものではありませんでした。チャーハンは香りが足りず、太平燕の味も平凡で、特に印象に残るものではありませんでした。 絶対にもう二度とここで食事をしません。 ———————— 因為這家店非常有人氣,所以我們提前好幾週就在網路上訂位了。週日晚上來店的時候,可能由於下大雨,客人比平常少。 店裡的裝潢很漂亮,有種高級感,窗邊的座位也很舒適。我們懷著興奮的心情,在手機上點餐後送出。沒想到,點了餐之後,才是噩夢的開始。 周圍的客人來了又走,臉比我們晚來的客人,都用完餐離開了。直到下單40分鐘後,我們的餐點卻還是一道都沒上。而這期間也沒有任何服務生來關心我們。 忍無可忍的狀況下,我們按鈴向服務生詢問,才驚訝的發現,廚房根本沒收到我們的訂單!(但明明手機顯示送單成功,先前點單的免費茶水也都有送上桌) 於是,我們像笨蛋一樣,白白等了40分鐘。店員說明狀況後,用我們的手機把所有下過的訂單重新送出一遍。 最後,在我們送單後將近一個小時,所有菜才全部送上桌,從來沒想過會等一頓飯等的這麼餓又無奈。慶生的心情都沒了。 受到這樣的差勁待遇,店家也沒有任何表示。這種價位的店,卻是這樣差勁的服務,真的讓人無法忍受。 料理的部分,對我來說也不是太驚艷。炒飯缺乏香氣,太平燕的味道也平平淡淡,印象不是特別深刻。 我絕對不會再來這裡用餐了😡

Korantei is located in the heart of the Shimotori shotengai. We went for dinner and opted for the set menu which was generous. The set menu had taipien which is a local Kumamoto specialty. Everything tasted amazing. I was slightly surprised by the anchovy fried rice. The service is perfect, great view of the shopping arcade. Arrive early on weekend, Korantei gets busy really fast.
