Why Travelers Love Sapporo Ramen

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.8 / 5.0(3,180 reviews)

One of the must try ramen in Sapporo. The staff is very humble and very polite. Service is 10/10. There are only 2 staff in service so they will definitely need time to prepare your meal, be patient. My friend J like their spicy ramen the most as the weather is getting colder and the spicy 🌶️ flavor warms the body. Jane and I took the miso ramen and the scallop ramen. Yummy 😋 there is one thing I need to compliment the shop, they offer half size portion, this is the best thing for a girl that can’t eat a full size portion and avoid the food waste 👍🏻 Accidentally discovered this ramen alley with this top rated ramen shop on family trip. My dad and I arrived here before dinner time and holy...it has a line already. Out of curiosity, dad went ahead to see the inside of the shop from the windows, total 9 seats in there and its crowded just like any local authentic Japanese restaurant and yet people are lining up, it must be good. After 1.5 hr wait, we finally sat down (surprised my nearly 80 year old dad was willing to wait). Both of us ordered different kind of ramen so we sure enjoyed and finished it without any drip in the bowl. I've eaten so many ramen from Kyushu to Sapporo, this is definitely the top 3 if not #1, its definitely worth the wait, if I'm not mistaken, they offer season menu here, so perhaps in winter time when you go, you can try something else rather than my post. My husband visited this place 5 years ago and always told me it was the best ramen he’d ever had. This time, he brought me here — and he was right! We went around 6:30 pm for dinner and waited about 1.5 hours in line since the restaurant is very small (only about 10 seats inside). But honestly, it was absolutely worth the wait. The broth is incredibly rich and flavorful, and the noodles are on another level. Hands down the best ramen I’ve ever had too. The chef and staff were also super friendly, which made the experience even better. Definitely worth coming back again — and definitely recommend!

One of the best ramens in Japan!! We got the Miso Ramen and it was delicious- the noodles were just the right consistency, the flavour of the miso broth like no other, and the pork melted!! Oh and the eggs were delicious too! We also tried the Garlic Ramen which was definitely a more intense flavour but if you like Garlic then you will love it! The portions are quite large, that said, if you have space for some Gyoza we loooved them too. Highly recommend!

Our first meal in Sapporo after a long day in transit. We couldn't have chosen a better spot! Sapporo Ramen Haruka always has a line outside and the place itself is very intimate. A proper ramen bar with its 10 or so seats surrounding their kitchen. It was almost 11 in the evening and we waited for around 30 minutes but it was worth the wait. We ordered their miso ramen with Hokkaido butter and corn and it was the most comforting thing to have after waiting in the cold. Also got a cold Sapporo Classic to complete the experience!
