  Fantastic and cheap ramen. The staff is really nice! It's my go-to place for ramen!
  
  One thing to keep in mind is that they can get very busy at certain times during the day and there can be a long line, but the wait is totally worth it, especially for the spicy miso ramen.

  I'm torn with this review but after much contemplation this place is just average for ramen. The lure for us was they accepted cards unlike many others in the food court/mall area.
  
  I order the tan-tan men ramen which I usually get from one of our favorite spots in Providence. Prices were decent but the ramen was flavorless. It was a tiny bit spicy but really lacked flavor. Very disappointed.
  
  My husband got the classic and loved the pork but also commented on it's lack of flavor. We split gyoza, they were tasty but really oily tasting.
  
  Service was attentive. Ambiance is obviously lacking since it's almost like a food court and tables are close together.
  
  With all of the other options we will pass on this place next time and bring cash to try another place.

  Unfortunately times have changed and there are far better options in town these days. Sapporo is the original ramen spot in Boston and was once upon a time the best.
  
  The fabulous tan-tan mein, against which all other ramens have been compared, is now reminiscent of the horrible, overly peppered version served at snappy ramen in Davis. The most recent bowl contained so many sesame Seeds that they were a food group unto themselves. Strange black flakes floated ominously across the thin, less flavorful broth. The noodles themselves remain solidly cooked, springy and chewy.
  
  The house ramen was severely under flavored with a almost peanuty flavor overwhelming the also too thin broth.
  
  What's funny is the main chef is the same guy who's been there for 12 years. It's too bad to see such a decline.
  
  As we left, it was noted how unsatisfying we all felt.

  A solidly average ramen place. We were planning on trying Tampopo next door, but we didn't have enough cash. Luckily, Sapporo takes card!
  
  I got the house ramen. The broth was actually quite rich and delicious; A+ for the broth. The noodles have a nice chew to them and were pretty good as well. The meat was not as great; it has a slightly sweet taste that doesn't really go well with the broth, and I could tell the quality was not very high (it was on the tougher side). The egg was WAY overcooked; almost to the point of looking hard boiled.
  
  The bowl was pretty filling and was affordable at $10. Service was super friendly and quick. I would say this place is more of a 3.5, but I'm going to have to round down this time. Still, this is a passable ramen place where you can get a cheap and decent meal. (If you have more time, you should go to Santouka)

  I've seen this line many times so I decided to try it out for once and it was sorely disappointing.
  
  I was part of the first set of diners to eat there that night and as such I was expecting a clean place. Nope! Entered to find a somewhat sticky table. Not a good first impression! Service was decent when I ordered. Menu options are nothing to write home about - they're standard.
  
  The food, though, was horrid! Uninspired and more greasy and heavy than Ramen needs to be. Served in an unappetizing bowl. I get that this is 'street food' style but that's no excuse for the food to look dead on arrival.
  
  Post meal, my GF and I both felt bloated and disgusting. This doesn't happen with any other Boston ramen place.
  
  Never coming back.
