Hakata Gion Tetsunabe

We went for dinner around 7:15pm on a Thursday night when it was pouring rain. Saw some people outside and was worried there would be a wait, but there was no wait. We were seated right away. The place was packed with locals, which is always a good sign. Hakata Gion Tezuka was one of the first restaurants to offer Teshimeji gyoza, which are basically dumplings in a round pan. For the two of us, we got 3 orders of 8 pieces each for 500 yen each. So it was 24 pieces for 1500 yen.

The seats in the store are very comfortable and soft. It can be seen that they pay attention to user experience. The waiters respond quickly, which is really good.

This place opens at 5pm and stays open until the next morning... So I went there at noon but it was closed...
