I tried the famous Hakodate burger spot, Lucky Pierrot. The vibe is nice and the food’s good for the price.

Visited the Lucky Pierrot branch at Tōgeshita and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere was quirky and full of character, staying true to the brand’s playful charm. The burgers were hearty and flavourful, with generous portions that certainly satisfied. The beer was refreshingly crisp and paired perfectly with the meal. Service was swift and friendly. A great spot for a casual bite if you’re in the area.

Came at 6pm on a Friday, there wasn't a crowd. No queue and plenty of seats. Interesting place to have a meal. My burger taste good but the aka carte Chinese chicken is way too salty! Milk shake is also too sweet. Will come back another time to try their curry rice and don.

Biggest, coolest, fastest, but worst staff. I've been going to all the Lucky Pierrot shops to collect all the stamps. The Togeshita branch is by far one of the coolest ones. The theme is "Amusement Park Aviary', which is kind of weird... But how else are you going to mix merry-go-rounds and geese? There was a lot to see, and its very photogenic. I went early on a weekday to avoid the crowds, and sure enough there was no line and nearly no one dining so I could take quite a few pictures and videos without troubling anyone. Our food was out very quickly compared to the other stores, probably again due to the fact that no one was there at the time. However, by the time we were leaving the lines had already begun to form. Despite no one being there when we arrived, the staff already seemed impatient and dismissive. The person taking our order seemed frustrated when I asked what was recommended and we felt really rushed. I also had a weird interaction trying to get the stamp. I asked one of the staff members (in Japanese) to point out where the stamp was, and she just said "ない" (We don't have it). I was surprised, and thought maybe she didn't understand me, since all the stores have a stamp. I quickly opened my stamp book to show her what I meant, and she went to ask another staff person, who also said ないです. On my way out I was taking pictures of the waiting area, and I noticed the stamp pad behind a waiting bench. Funnily enough, the staff member had come out to call someone waiting for an order as I was stamping my book. I said to her "見つけた" (I found it). She blinked and quickly walked away. Maybe because this location is a popular tourist destination, the staff has become kind of apathetic from dealing with crowds. I get that, but it really is such a stark contrast from every other Lucky Pierrot in Hakodate which is filled with such hospitable and charming staff.

This is a burger chain that is only available in Hakodate but every branch is different. We went to a very large restaurant with lots of seats for customers. I tried the lucky egg burger, the special potato and a beer. All the food was really tasty and arrived quickly, really good prices too.
