What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A charcoal yakiniku restaurant in Matsubara, Saga City, unanimously called 'the only choice for Saga beef at this price' by locals. Certified as a Saga Beef handling restaurant, it proudly serves carefully selected lean wagyu and premium short ribs grilled slowly over charcoal in a casual, down-to-earth style. With 4,482 Tabelog saves and a TripAdvisor score of 4.3, the restaurant is so popular that reservations are reportedly needed a week in advance. In the ¥3,000–5,000 range, many diners say 'this quality at this price is unbelievable, even in Saga.'

'Mind-blowing value for money. Only place to eat Saga beef at this price.' 'The 7pm slots are always full—no walk-ins possible.' 'The Special Maruju Set is worth more than the price.' 'I go every month. Maruju is the first call when I want yakiniku in Saga.'
