How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

Review brief
What reviews not flagged by Revdict say
Reviewers report that this Fukuoka teppanyaki restaurant delivers a flavorful, garlic-heavy combination of pork and cabbage served on sizzling hot plates. While many praise the fast turnover, energetic atmosphere, and convenient parking, others cite issues with long wait times, high salt levels, and inconsistent service.

Consistently delicious. It was so delicious I even had seconds of rice! 🍚 The restaurant has a lively atmosphere, which makes me feel good, and the service is fast, so I have no complaints! There's ample parking space, and they even offer...

I went there since it opened. You buy meal tickets from a vending machine. You can use credit cards, public transportation cards, PayPay, etc. There is a counter and tables. It's quite small. There were 7 or 8 employees. You have to he...

I decided I would definitely go there when I came to Fukuoka after watching a YouTube video, and today I finally got to enjoy a double portion at the Branch Hakata store. The grilled meat on the teppanyaki grill at the original restaurant w...

Fukuoka's B-grade gourmet restaurant, "Bikkuri-tei Honke," has newly opened!! I visited after 2 PM, and it was full! It's truly a popular restaurant. The customer turnover was quick, and I was seated soon after. The restaurant was lively,...

I usually go to the main branch, but this one opened nearby, so this is my second visit. As I thought the first time I visited, it's too salty! 💦 I wish they'd make it closer to the main branch's taste. The taste seems to change every ti...

Caution. Seriously, it's extremely salty and bad for your health. It's like eating an entire plate of salted squid. If you absolutely must try it, start by sharing one serving between two people to get a taste.

The Osaka branch closed due to COVID-19, so I went to eat there during my trip to Kyushu. I was looking forward to the familiar taste, but it was way too salty! It was a struggle to finish. I don't remember it being this salty...
Long Wait Times and Disorganized Queueing
Reviewers report lengthy delays for food, skipped orders, and disorganized seating systems when the restaurant is busy.

Credit cards and PayPay accepted. The serving time seems quite long compared to the main store in Minami-Fukuoka and the Chikushino location. I waited about 20 minutes for my order to finally arrive, so I thought they'd forgotten about me....

I bought a ticket and was immediately shown to a seat. More than 30 minutes passed after ordering, and my food still hadn't arrived. Other customers were being served one after another, so I checked to see if my order had gone through, and...
Greasy Floors and Warm Environment
Complaints mention slippery, grease-coated floors and a lack of proper air conditioning that leaves the dining area uncomfortably hot.

I'm a semi-regular. The extra extra garlic is the best! ✨ The only thing missing is the air conditioning! This is one of my favorite places!!

The service from the young female staff member was disappointing. She spilled miso soup on my clothes, but didn't apologize properly. She might have been a part-timer, but it's unacceptable. Perhaps they should retrain their staff. Also,...

It's very delicious. I don't like meat, but they have a "stir-fried vegetables" menu without meat, and you can choose how you want the vegetables cooked—whether you want the cabbage to be crisp or well-done—so it's not just a simple teppanyaki restaurant. I usually order the stir-fried vegetables an...

I've been a fan since the store manager was at the main store! After watching YouTube features and such, I drove all the way from Oita to the Branch Hakata store just for Bikkuri-tei! 🚗 The staff were so energetic, and I'm hooked again on the same great taste and addictive flavor! ✨ It's so del...

The rich flavors of the meat and cabbage were delicious, and it was also tasty with the addition of spicy miso paste.
