I had a sudden craving for Ankake Yakisoba, so I came here. It's a shame that Estas has closed down and it's not as easy to go to restaurants and food courts anymore. There aren't many lunch options on the north side, so I'm not sure what to do next. Ankake Yakisoba seems to be popular. It had plenty of vegetables, with a moderate amount of meat and seafood, but overall it was a satisfying portion. The dish arrived piping hot from the kitchen, which made me tear up with joy! At first, I ate it as is, but then I enjoyed the flavors and added plenty of vinegar to cool down the sauce. It was delicious, but there was one disappointing aspect... not related to the service or anything like that, but something I shouldn't write about here. I'll keep it in mind for next time. Nevertheless, thank you for the meal!

I arrived around 2 o'clock. I was able to enter without waiting in line, but the restaurant was constantly busy with customers. Most of the seating was at the counter, with only about 8 table seats available. Groups of 2 or 3 were either seated together or separately at the counter. Since I was on a trip to Sapporo, I ordered Sapporo ramen. The portion was quite large, so those with small appetites might not be able to finish it. It had sweet potatoes in it. There was solid butter on top, so I was able to enjoy it as buttered potatoes. It's a bit of a walk from the station, but you can access it through an underground walkway, so you don't have to worry about rain or wind.

The restaurant is open until 22:00, but they close once they run out of noodles. I was able to just make it in around 21:00. I ordered the popular Ankake Yakisoba. The squid and shrimp were nice and chewy! The noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce had a rich yet light flavor, creating a unique and unforgettable taste. It was a delicious dish that I couldn't get enough of! ♡

Because it's Obon, the options for lunch are very limited. Additionally, in the 2 o'clock hour, the choices are even more limited, so I went to Apia for the first time after returning to the office. Due to Obon, everywhere seems crowded even at this time. Apia was also almost full. Actually, the fried rice here is delicious. Personally, I think it's the best in Sapporo Station. It may not be suitable for those who like their fried rice to be fluffy, but it's highly recommended for those who, like me, prefer a moist and slightly greasy style. The ingredients are simple - char siu, green onions, and egg - but that's what makes it great. Even with a large portion, I finished it in no time. Today, there may have been a bit too much lard. Still, in Sapporo city center, I think Apia, Nanafuku Shokudo at the Central Bus Terminal, and Men no Hinako at Sosei East are currently the top three for fried rice.

It's midsummer outside, but Apia is cool with air conditioning. Eating hot ramen in such a cool environment is a luxurious experience. Today, I chose the normal miso ramen and fried rice set. The miso ramen is pleasantly ordinary, a classic Sapporo style ramen (similar to Ho-ryu and Yoshino). This is good. For people visiting Hokkaido for the first time, starting with this kind of ramen as a standard and then exploring various ramen shops in Sapporo can make the experience of Sapporo ramen even more enjoyable. And then, the talk about fried rice that has been mentioned by others. I really like the fried rice here! Slightly oily, lots of egg. Green onions and chashu... It has a simple and mild flavor, but it's addictive. While ramen tends to steal the spotlight, the idea of making fried rice the main dish at a ramen shop is definitely worth considering.

"I went on a business trip to Sapporo and decided to have some Chinese food for lunch. I went to the popular restaurant called 'Seiryu' and ordered their highly recommended Ankake Yakisoba. I really like this dish. After a short wait of about 5 minutes, a generous portion of the dish arrived. I was excited to try it. I started eating the noodles coated in the sweet and salty sauce. It was delicious. But it was very hot! Well, that's a common thing with dishes like this. I mixed in the vegetables, seafood, and other toppings and enjoyed the flavors. The soup that came with it was nothing special. The slightly burnt edges of the yakisoba, along with the chewy texture of the squid and shrimp, were really good. I finished the dish while it was still piping hot, scooping up the sauce with a spoon until the very end. Now I'm curious to try their fried rice and ramen next time."

Sunny on July 30 ☀️ A shop that is recommended on various sites for their fried rice. Yes! It's really good! You can even go for the large size because this fried rice is so addictive! It's a bit disappointing that not many people seem to be ordering fried rice. Definitely give it a try. Thank you for the meal!

I went to "Ramen Seiryu" for lunch after a long time, and the highlight of the day was the seasonal limited cold ramen. The toppings included seaweed, shredded omelette, ham, wood ear mushrooms, cucumber, and pickled ginger, which are classic toppings for cold ramen. I also had mustard on the side. My favorite way to eat cold ramen is to put plenty of mustard on it. The seasoning was just right, not too bland or too salty, with a stable taste. Next time, I might try the Jajangmyeon or the popular ankake yakisoba. Thank you for the meal!

There was a high rating review saying that the fried rice was delicious, so I went to try it. I'm not a fan of fried rice that is too hard and requires effort to eat. However, I really liked the perfect texture of the rice and ingredients combined at Seiryu-san. The thinly sliced and small pieces of char siu mixed in subtly were exquisite. I will definitely go back again! Thank you for the meal!

I like this restaurant because it serves traditional Hokkaido-style ramen that reminds me of the taste I had when I ordered delivery in the past. I also enjoy their ankake yakisoba. When I wanted to try cold noodles because of the heat, I ended up trying their new menu item, Jar Jar Men. The sweet miso minced meat and crunchy cucumber provide a nice texture.

On June 26, 2023 (Monday), I had lunch at Seiryu, where I had their classic soy sauce ramen and char siu rice bowl set for a satisfying meal. I can't remember when was the last time I visited this place, but I had a good experience this time. The restaurant is located at B1F of Apia Food Walk in Sapporo, Hokkaido, with operating hours from 10:30 to 22:00 and no scheduled days off. The menu offers delicious ramen options such as salt, soy sauce, and miso ramen, which are perfect for ramen lovers like me. The establishment is worth a visit if you're in the Sapporo Station area.

At the end of work, I was asked to work overtime, and I couldn't say no. To fill the void of dissatisfaction, I decided to treat myself to my favorite food! Enter Seiryu Ramen! I ordered the spicy miso ramen (large size, with an extra slice of chashu) and rice. It arrived in about 7 minutes, and it was packed with lots of vegetables and chashu. The ramen was really spicy and delicious, with a hint of sweetness. The large portion was satisfying, and I became a happy, full-bellied person. Eating my favorite ramen helped alleviate the emptiness I felt. Tomorrow, I have to wake up at 5 am again, so I'll take a bath and get ready for bed. Tired!

5/2023★ Chinese Rice 900 yen at Suidobashi Station APIA. After work, I had dinner at this famous restaurant in the historic district. This ramen shop has been around since the Showa era and offers a wide variety of dishes, catering to both tourists and locals. I initially came for the ramen, but after seeing the neighboring table's An-kake, I changed my mind and ordered the "Chinese Rice" with half the rice portion. The food was served quickly, as this place values efficiency. The An-kake had a thick and sticky texture, but the flavor was not too strong. It was delicious, with crunchy vegetables and tender pork and seafood. Despite the frozen appearance of the ingredients, the taste was not affected, showcasing the skill of the chefs. The half portion of rice was around 100g, which was enough for someone with a small appetite. The soup had a mild and gentle flavor, providing a nice break from the savory An-kake. Writing this review makes me want to go back for the Chinese Rice or maybe try the Cantonese noodles next time. Thank you for the meal!

After work, I suddenly felt like eating ramen again. Today, I decided to stop by a ramen shop in Apia at Sapporo Station that I had never been to before. When I walked in, I didn't see any tourists, but the counter seats were constantly filled with customers. I was seated at a table and ordered the miso ramen. It arrived in about 5 minutes. The soup had a rich miso flavor, and the generous amount of bean sprouts added a nice touch. There was also plenty of bamboo shoots. The chashu was a bit tough, but it was large and satisfying. The noodles were medium-thick curly noodles. I added some chili pepper from the table for a bit of spice. The crunchy bean sprouts and firm noodles were to my liking. I rescued the chashu and found it to be a bit tough even after warming it up, but its thickness provided a satisfying chew. I would like to try the ankake yakisoba next time I visit.

Wandering new curry mania / rookie ramen mania, a solo middle-aged man. This is a memo-like review from the old man. If you want to see "concise information" about the restaurant & food, please move on to other people's reviews around here. One weekend, I headed to a bookstore in town to continue reading the historical novel at a surprisingly high pace. I was unexpectedly hungry from before departure (before noon). I had to fill my stomach at the Chinese restaurant recommended by my companion, "quantity over quality." It was close to the bookstore. I also confirmed in advance that they were open on Sundays. However, when I arrived, it was "closed for personal reasons." Oh no. But, I had prepared for this and picked out a backup restaurant from the internet search. One recommended by a local who likes fried rice. Looking at the recommended lineup again, more than half were unvisited. Some were difficult to access. So, I decided to try the fried rice at a place that I had visited decades ago. First, I started with the "easy to go to / curious" place. It is located at 2-chome, Kita 5-jo Nishi, Chuo-ku. More like, it is in the food walk of "APIA" that is directly connected underground to JR Sapporo Station & Sapporo Station on the Namboku Line. It is next to "Yoshigyu" in the passage near the subway station. About ten years ago, I used to pass through this "APIA" passage frequently for work-related reasons, and I knew this "ramen shop." But... it seemed to be a "tourist-oriented" place. So, I never used it and quickly went to "Yoshigyu." I arrived at the restaurant a little before 12:30 (Sunday) and the inside was full. I waited with a couple (tourists) in the passage. Still, we were able to enter in about 3 minutes. I was guided to the counter seat in front of the kitchen. There were portable partitions. Maybe it's just for peace of mind. I looked at the menu and checked the prices. Ah, if you order a large portion, it's an additional 150 yen. Hmm, I'm curious about the "handmade dumplings." So, I ordered ▼ Fried rice (large portion) ▼ Handmade dumplings (5 pieces), for a total of 1,330 yen including tax (800 yen + 150 yen + 380 yen). The dishes arrived in about 10 minutes. Even though it was a large portion, it was not an overwhelming amount. The "handmade dumplings" were a little late and arrived with a "soy-based sauce." I wanted a small dish to eat the "handmade dumplings" with "vinegar and pepper," so I looked up and the young male staff immediately responded, "Can I help you?" Maybe they are well-trained because it's a busy restaurant. So, I took a bite of the fried rice. It was neither dry nor greasy, slightly moist and fluffy. It had a good saltiness and a stable umami flavor. There was also a somewhat sweet aroma in the scent that came out of my nose. Maybe the quality of the lard is good. I really liked the taste of the fried rice. I'm convinced that it's recommended. The ingredients were simple: scrambled eggs, diced char siu, and green onions. There was quite a lot of "scrambled eggs." I'm happy about that. Even though the price of eggs is rising. Hmm. I was wrong to assume it was "aimed at tourists." It's busy for a reason. Maybe the ramen here is also delicious. Well, the prices are "reasonable" though. Next, I tried the "handmade dumplings." The size was typical. The skin was thin and delicate, almost as if it would tear if handled roughly when removing it from sticking together. First, I tried it without anything, and the filling didn't have a strong taste. So, even when I tried it with "vinegar and pepper," it was like... And when I tried it with the "soy-based sauce" provided in the set... It was delicious. It's not just soy sauce ===========

Located in the underground shopping area called Apia, directly connected to Sapporo Station in Chuo Ward, Sapporo City, Hokkaido, this ramen shop has been around for a long time. I visited on February 23rd, the Emperor's birthday holiday, around 1 pm. The place was almost full, but I managed to get a seat at the counter without waiting. The interior has an L-shaped counter surrounding the kitchen and a few tables, with partitions for COVID-19 measures. The menu includes miso, salt, soy sauce, spicy, and tourist-friendly "Sapporo Ramen" with unique ingredients like asparagus and butter. I ordered the Ramen Set A for 1100 yen, choosing miso flavor. The ramen had a rich miso broth with a classic taste, and the noodles were chewy with a nice texture. The thick-cut chashu pork was tasty, and the side of fried rice was flavorful and satisfying. I always go for miso, but next time I want to try the salt or soy sauce flavors.

I visited this restaurant to find station-side ramen near Sapporo Station!!! If you want to grab a quick bite before hopping on the train, I recommend this place! You can enjoy the classic Sapporo miso ramen here! It's perfect for starting or ending your trip!

I went to a restaurant in the Apia restaurant area at Sapporo Station Underground Shopping Mall, towards the Asti 45 side, after seeing a review on Tabelog that their ankake yakisoba is delicious. I ordered the ankake yakisoba in large size. The regular size is 900 yen, and the large size is 1000 yen! Sapporo has many delicious restaurants that serve ankake yakisoba in large portions, but this one was quite normal in size. The taste was amazing!! The noodles were cooked perfectly. Many places serve softer noodles, but the ankake yakisoba at Seiryu-san is quite authentic! It would have been perfect with some mustard. Although mustard didn't come with it, they may provide it if you ask. I highly recommend the ankake yakisoba!

Lunch after 3 o'clock. During the year-end and New Year holidays, it was always full around this time, but today it's empty. I just had the fried rice. Last time I had it with ramen, but today I wanted to eat a lot of rice. There were plenty of chashu pork pieces and it was delicious as always. Thank you for the meal.

I came back again. It was cold and I really wanted to eat here. I regretted not ordering the Ankake Yakisoba after ordering salt, but I didn't have time so it's all good. Salt is light and delicious after all. It's always crowded whenever I go, so it's hard to get in when I want to.
