Maybe I didn't order the right thing, but I wasn't impressed with the ramen here. At the recommendation of a friend, I tried the Butter Ramen, but I ate less than half the bowl. I know this place is so many people's favorite, so I have to go back to try another bowl just to make sure. Service was quick and friendly. ”

| “ This place has been around forever! I know. I've been going here for probably over 20 years! It hasn't changed a bit in my opinion. Ramen is still tasty and the portion is huge. There's a lady in there that has been working for over 20 years! We asked. Obviously, she is an owner. I like the miso ramen even though the broth can be somewhat thick and salty. The tempura is good, crispy, average. I've had the maguro sashimi and it hits the spot also. And I love the pickled cabbage they give you as an appetizer. I can't get enough of it. I always go here when I want to be full on a tight budget, plus to bring back a little piece of nostalgia. ”

| “ One of the best Ramen noodle houses, and the only one that serves freshly made noodles. Can't go wrong with the Cha-siu Ramen....great on a cold night. You will pay a little more than other restaurants for Ramen, but it's worth it. They open later than most of the other restaurants in J-town.

| “ Order the Tempura Ramen with the miso broth add an order of gyoza and you are a happy customer. On rainy days it's a great place to stop as you browse the halls of Japan Town. Gyoza are the best I've had since Tokyo.

| “ Sapporo-ya serves up a mean miso ramen! The broth was delicious, not too salty nor flavorless like some other broths can be. And it wasn't too "fatty" either. The noodles were cooked to perfection. Although not as cheap as some other places are, it won't set back the wallet too much (expect $8-$10 per bowl of ramen). We also ordered a spicy tuna roll, but that, unfortunately was not too impressive. The flavoring of the fish was excellent, but the rice was too abundant and too hard for my tastes. It's an unpretentious place, good for when you need a bowl of ramen to hit the spot. Also, if you're into ramen, I would recommend Santa Ramen in San Mateo. And it has a lot of delightful sides to accompany your ramen as well! ”

| “ An unexpected treasure lies hidden behind this rather ordinary looking schnell-Imbiss in Japantown, MISO CHA SHU RAMEN at Sapporo-Ya. After one particular late opera rehearsal, I ended up testing out this noodle soup at Sapporo-Ya in the Japan Center. I was totally stunned by the huge bowl presented filled with delicious noodles swimming in miso soup with cha shu, absolutely stellar thin slices of roast pork. The rich and velvety miso broth was enhanced by bamboo and a boiled egg and one sip will send you into delirium. It seemed like there was a ton of garlic, or something, irresistible flavors shooting out at you, and when I brought my opera colleagues to try this King of Soups, their eyes and gullets popped out as well. Miso Cha Shu ramen still remains a special late night treat, or for lunch or whenever. The California roll, the sashimi, the gyoza and the other larger dinner plates are delicious as well. Wash it all down with a delicious japanese beer for a decadent treat. ”

| “ This place is upstairs in the building housing the Kabuki Theater. It specializes in ramen--the real thing, nothing like that dried stuff from the super market. My favorite is Cha-shu: a large bowl of meat-flavored broth with made-on-site noodles, greens, sliced egg and large slices of roast pork. They also have other japanese items--I often accompany my ramen with an order of gyoza (japanese potstickers)--but, frankly, if you don't want ramen I'd go elsewhere (you only have to walk a few feet to several "regular" japanese places). For me, though, nothing beats a steaming bowl of ramen on a cold, foggy night before or after the movie (they are open late). ”
