HAKATA FOOD HALL is a roughly 300-seat dining zone on the third floor of Fukuoka Airport's International Terminal. It opened on March 28, 2025 and brings eight Fukuoka and Kyushu food specialists together near the departure gates.
The important restriction is location: it is inside the departure waiting area after security screening and immigration. Only passengers departing internationally who have completed those procedures can use it; arriving passengers and visitors without a boarding pass cannot enter.

All eight current restaurants
Kamakiri Udon serves Hakata-style udon and rice bowls. Reilly specialises in hamburg steak and burgers. Takenoya offers yakitori, its spiral chicken-skin skewer and eel dishes. Umino Shokudo serves Nagahama-inspired seafood bowls. Yatai Maruni covers tempura, grilled gyoza and rice bowls. The remaining three are Hakata Motsunabe Rakutenti, tonkatsu specialist Anzu and Hakata tonkotsu ramen shop Kocchan Ramen.
What to choose before a flight
For a light, quick meal, Hakata udon is generally easier than a full hot-pot course. Seafood bowls suit travellers wanting local fish, while ramen and motsunabe offer a more strongly Fukuoka-flavoured farewell. Yakitori, gyoza and tonkatsu are useful when companions want different dishes. Allow enough time to eat hot food without rushing to the gate.
- Light and fast: Hakata udon
- Local seafood: Umino Shokudo
- Classic Fukuoka: tonkotsu ramen or motsunabe
- Meat-focused: Reilly, Takenoya or Anzu
Hours and boarding time
All eight outlets list 7:00 opening and 20:30 last order. That last order is not a guarantee that a traveller can remain until boarding: follow the airline's gate-closing time and any terminal announcement. Morning and evening departure banks can create queues. Order only after checking the gate number, walking time and boarding status.
Do not confuse the two airport food halls
HAKATA FOOD HALL is in the International Terminal after screening. The foodtimes is a separate eight-shop food court on Domestic Terminal 3F before security and is open to non-passengers. The terminals are not connected on foot; a shuttle bus links them. Choose the guide that matches both your flight terminal and your position before or after security.
