This midtown ramen joint is bustling during lunch when hordes of workers come for the authentic ramen and delicious gyoza.

good/tasty and cheap eats!!

by guest100

this place is great...and cheap yet tasty. we were coming back from times square and all the restaurants were filled up with tourists. we were hungry and when we were walking back to the hotel we took a peek and there were lots of asians inside enjoying their food. at first i thought it was a sushi place but it wasnt. the menu is full of noodles in soup and ramen and lots of curries... yummmm!! i had the one with pork chop curry and it was delicious and cheap my mother had the cold noodles she liked them and thought it was mighty tasty. and this place was full of locals and regulars and was cheap.

• Pros: tasty/ cheap/full of locals and regulars. right off of times square
• Cons: more variety and have some sushi and cash only establishment

Staff likes to embarrass patrons

by djcamara

I felt so bad for a fellow patron at this place that I doubt I'll return any time soon. A young man (twenty something) at the table next to mine paid the check and left a tip amount that evidently did not satisfy the waitress as she felt it necessary to declare in front of all of the patrons in the very small restaurant that it was inadequate. The man was bullied into forking over several dollars more. I know waiting tables is hard work but there's a right way and a wrong way. And I can't think of a worse way than what I witnessed at this classy joint.

• Cons: attitude

reminds me of my college days!

by icemancometh06

I used to buy 3 cases each time I went home & would survive on this with fresh cut veggies in my dorm. Now that I am working, I come home to ramen every so often. I prefer this vs. udon or soba. Low class huh?! For value can't be beat, it's as tasty as "when I used to cook it up for my roommates!", a "great ramen cook I was. Now I let Sapporo do my ramen cooking! And the variety is a big plus. Lousy decor, feels like a greasy spoon out of old chinatown! but hey we're paying for quick tasty eats not the paint job!

• Pros: ramen choices, inexpensive, not far from ofc
• Cons: decor, lunch crowds

love that ramen

by kosherburrito

I've been eating lunch at Sapporo's for years. Their soups are delicious, hearty concoctions. Particularly satisfying on a cold winter day-- and they have a great cold summer soup during those months when the temperature rises. I've tried at least 5 different soups and never been disappointed. That said, it still pays to read the descriptions carefully, since some of the soups contain odd fishy ingredients that are tough on the average american palate. Disclaimer: I've never had anything except the soups and the gyoza, but friends who have dined with me seemed to enoy their non-soup meals, such as curry rice.

This is NOT a good place to bring a date, however. The ambiance leaves much to be desired: rickety furniture, overly-speedy service, and rather ratty looking decor all contribute to the correct impression that this is a DIVE, and not a fine-dining experience.

• Pros: great soups, easy to get a table, inexpensive
• Cons: lousy decor, overly quick servers, loud

authentic, good price

by newyorkvolleyball

This place is as authentic as the places in St. Mark's but without the ridiculous wait. Although it's known more for a lunch place, you can get the same dinner as the restaurants down in the East Village but without waiting an hour for a table.

If you're hungry...

by dokbok

It's ok. Try the butter soup. The wontons aren't bad.

• Pros: modest pricing
• Cons: modest tasting
