Tabelog ratingHUNGRY HEAVEN Fukuoka imaizumi ten (ハングリーヘブン 福岡今泉店) has earned a loyal following for its substantial, American-style gourmet burgers. What sets it apart is the careful combination of its three core elements: thick, juicy, hand-pressed beef patties, a distinctive dark-toasted yet soft bun, and the signature sweet and savory onion-tomato "Heaven Sauce".
Guests consistently praise the generous portions, with options to stack patties from single to triple. The juicy, chewy texture of the beef is a frequent highlight, as is the house sauce, which reviewers find pairs perfectly with the crisp-edged bun. The menu is extensive, with variations including tartar, curry, and wasabi cream sauces. Many also appreciate the free small drink offered with lunch orders between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM, making it a strong value proposition. Foreign visitors report that staff are friendly and helpful, with English menus and a willingness to accommodate special requests like lettuce-wrap burgers.
While overwhelmingly positive, a few reviews mention occasional slow service or lukewarm food. Opinions on the fries are mixed, with some finding them too soft or salty. Reviewers recently paid between ¥1,100 and ¥1,800 for a burger; examples include the Hungry Heaven Cheese for around ¥1,300 and the Bacon Egg Cheese for ¥1,780. Most agree the price is fair for the quality and size.
