" I had high hopes for this restaurant due to its popularity but left quite disappointed. The dishes, while flavorful, were incredibly overpriced for what they were. The seating was cramped, and it was hard to enjoy the meal with the noise levels around. I found the service to be lacking, as I felt ignored at times. It's a shame because the authenticity in their menu is clear. I might come back, but not with high expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" A unique find! The fried oysters were outstanding, bursting with flavor and freshness. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of authenticity in the dishes and the atmosphere. My only complaint was that service felt quint little distant. Would recommend for a fun night out with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightful experience! The skewers were mouthwatering, and I savored every bite of the grilled meats. The miso soup was warming and perfect for the weather. The staff were genuinely friendly, despite being busy. My only wish is for more variety in their drinks menu. But I'll certainly be returning for that incredible food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went expecting the best izakaya and found a place that was just average. The flavors weren’t as deep as I expected, and the portions did not match the pricing. The busy evening could have contributed to the service being a bit lacking. I can’t say I would return eagerly unless I hear dramatically better things about it. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Hakata Izakaya HERO, and I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience! The ambiance felt authentically Japanese and lively. We ordered a selection of appetizers and were blown away by the freshness and flavors of the sashimi. Our server was also very helpful in suggesting drinks to pair with our dishes. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for genuine Japanese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had a birthday dinner here, and it did not disappoint! The flavors were spot on, from the spicy miso soup to the various skewers. I opted for a glass of sake, and it complemented the meal perfectly. The service was friendly but slightly overwhelmed, leading to a slower experience. Regardless, we enjoyed every minute. The only issue was the noise level; it can get really busy and a bit hard to converse. Overall, I'd highly recommend it for special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love exploring new restaurants, and Hakata didn't disappoint! Their dishes were incredible, especially the spicy tofu which had an unmatched flavor. The atmosphere was nice and calming. I'll definitely be back for more special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)
