I often use this place for lunch when I don't have much time because the food is served relatively quickly after ordering. I had the twice-cooked pork set meal (800 yen) this time. It's slightly spicy but the flavor goes well with rice. I wish they would add a bit more meat though (lol). If you order it as a set instead of a meal, you can get a half portion of ramen for an extra 180 yen, which is a good deal, but I didn't have time to eat it this time so I just got the meal. I want to try the set meal next time and eat a lot (*'ω'*).

Visited in July 2023. The popular evening drink set for 3.44 people costs 1,200 yen. Chose beer (medium bottle) for 580 yen (Asahi), sweet and sour pork for 600 yen, and 3 grilled dumplings for free. Also ordered a small bowl of rice for 180 yen, bringing the total to 1,380 yen. I wanted to have a drink and meal at a local Chinese restaurant. After doing some work on Saturday, I headed there. Despite being in the basement of a building, the exterior was quite nice. I've seen this chain in Sapporo before. Upon entering, the compact interior had 3 other customers. I sat at a 2-person table in the back. I initially wanted a set meal with beer, but the evening drink set was available even at this time, so I chose a bottled beer and sweet and sour pork. It came with 3 dumplings as well. The staff informed the kitchen, "An evening drink set, please." The beer arrived quickly, it was Asahi. The complimentary snack was delightful, a classic pickled plum snack. After a 4-minute wait, the sweet and sour pork and dumplings were served. The dumplings had thin skin and a mild filling, served with a light sauce. The sweet and sour pork lacked a strong miso flavor but had a nice spicy kick. Enjoying oily Chinese food with beer is the best! However, I also wanted rice with my Chinese meal, so I ordered a small bowl. It arrived piping hot and was delicious. I left satisfied and enjoyed my Chinese meal. The background music included Queen, Simply Red, Michael Jackson, and Sting, creating a nostalgic atmosphere that didn't quite match the Chinese setting, but I personally enjoyed it. Next time, I want to try a Chinese restaurant above ground instead of in a basement.

After enjoying delicious sushi and sake, I felt a bit peckish and decided to visit this place. The successor to the closed Kagawa-ken restaurant caught my eye, but when I arrived, there was still a "tenant wanted" sign. I entered the restaurant and found a few customers scattered around, so I sat at an available table for two. I ordered the only option, the soy sauce ramen, from the waitress. Soon, more customers arrived and the place was almost full. Before long, the ramen was served, and it looked delicious! I took a sip of the soup, which was made with traditional chicken broth and had a slightly sweet taste, bringing back nostalgic feelings. The noodles were classic medium-thin curly noodles, and they were tasty. The chashu had a firm texture, just like in the old days. The green onions, seaweed, and bamboo shoots were also included, and I was surprised by the affordable price. Overall, it was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

Cantonese set. It's on the main street, or rather, near the TV tower. I've been here before. I felt like eating ankake, so I came. However, it allows smoking. A bit disappointing. It's a counter seat, so I can't see behind, but the smell is there. The Cantonese set includes Cantonese noodles and half fried rice. The ankake is hot as expected. There's plenty of pork, and it's delicious. The half fried rice is also good, despite being lightly seasoned. Thank you for the meal. I want to try various dishes, but it's hard to come back if smoking is allowed.

Today, in order to not lose to the cold weather, I went to Gohyakuman and had a lot of nutrients. The vegetable stir-fry set meal and the yakisoba with thickened sauce were delicious. The vegetable stir-fry had the perfect seasoning of salt and pepper. The yakisoba with thickened sauce had a great texture, flavor, and soy sauce taste.

Visited around noon on a weekday. The counter was empty so I was seated right away. The chairs were a bit awkwardly high. The mapo men is recommended here, made with a soy sauce base. I ordered the mapo men with half rice for 850 yen. It arrived quickly. It was a cold day so the sauce stayed warm, which was nice. The noodles were delicious, being from an established Chinese restaurant. However, it was spicy!! I love spicy food but it was quite hot. Still, it was delicious. The dish also came with pickled vegetables. Smoking is allowed, so non-smokers might want to avoid. Thank you for the meal!

A busy salaryman's go-to spot, Goban-san. The ramen here is only 580 yen per bowl, making it very affordable. The taste is simple yet delicious, like a faithful classic Chinese soba. I usually don't add pepper to my ramen, but this one makes me want to sprinkle a little. Enjoying a simple and tasty ramen, let's work hard for the rest of the afternoon!

I visited Goju-ban-san for lunch in the basement of a building (*'ω'*). The 50-ban set (900 yen) includes half fried rice, half ramen, fried chicken, salad, and yogurt, all for just 1000 yen with change. The taste is a delicious mix of Showa-era and home-cooked flavors. I left feeling full and satisfied (*'ω'*). I have fond memories of being taken care of here during my student days, so I sometimes crave the nostalgic taste. As a fan of Goju-ban, I will definitely visit again (*'ω'*).

After having a light drink with my junior colleague, I felt a little hungry on the way back. I remembered this place and decided to stop by. A bowl of soy sauce ramen for only 480 yen, which means zero calories, right? I arrived around 7:30 pm. There were 3 groups of customers already there, with a good distance between them. I sat at a corner table. Soon, the soy sauce ramen arrived with chashu, green onions, bamboo shoots, and seaweed, all for 480 yen. It used to be around 300 yen in the past, or maybe 380 yen, I remember. For some reason, soy sauce ramen has always been cheaper than salt or miso ramen, which are priced at 660 yen and 730 yen, respectively. But I can't help but be curious about the salt and miso flavors. This classic chicken broth soy sauce ramen is perfect for a late-night snack. They also have a variety of set menus that are appealing. Maybe I'll try them for lunch next time? But I might just end up ordering the soy sauce ramen again. Ah, it was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

On a regular day, I was wandering around wondering what to eat for lunch at 1:00, and I came across ramen for 430 yen! Without hesitation, I went in. I ordered soy sauce ramen, a simple choice. I usually eat miso flavored ramen, so it was refreshing to have soy sauce ramen after a long time. It was light and not too salty, so I didn't feel thirsty afterwards. It's nice to change things up once in a while. Thank you for the meal.

Great cost performance! The fried rice is delicious. Tokyo Gojuban offers a light and nostalgic flavor. The dishes are served quickly and hot, ensuring a simple yet satisfying taste that keeps customers coming back every day. The classic soy sauce ramen is only 380 yen. The restaurant has maintained affordable prices since the Showa era, catering to a wide range of customers from students to the elderly. It's a popular Chinese restaurant where everyone can feel welcome.

Well, I'm wondering what to have for lunch today. It's raining outside. Let's go underground. It seems like everyone is thinking the same thing. Everywhere is crowded. I don't want to wait in line too much. Let's go to this place where the wait seems shorter. I want to eat spicy noodles, but I can't find it on the menu. Let's go for a set meal. Sweet and sour pork set meal for 750 yen. The kitchen is on fire. They work efficiently and the food is served quickly. When it comes to Chinese food, I usually prefer shredded pork with green peppers, but lately I've been enjoying sweet and sour pork. The vegetables have a nice crunch, and the flavor is a bit strong. There's a good amount of garlic in it. It's delicious. The rice goes down so easily.

I came to this restaurant for lunch one day in the city. I was debating between China Park and this place, and decided to try this one for the first time. I felt like having fried rice, but just fried rice wasn't enough so I ended up getting ramen too. The taste was quite average, like typical Chinese food you would find in the city. But it was cheap, so I was satisfied. Next time, I want to try their drinking set. Thank you for the meal!

No matter how crowded it is, the service is fast and the taste is as expected, with the salt being just right. It's a good restaurant. It's a lifesaver during short lunch breaks. The mapo tofu at Chen Ma Fan was delicious, so I ordered the mapo tofu set, but a different dish came out instead of the mapo tofu at Chen Ma Fan. It seems to be a limited menu set with tantanmen. I will revisit when I have more time. The service from the waitress was wonderful and lovely. It's a restaurant that makes you want to come back.

I saw this place on my way back from lunch yesterday and couldn't stop thinking about trying it until this morning, so I decided to visit for lunch today. Chinese lunch menus always give me a sense of trust and high expectations. Today, I wanted to try the fried rice set, so I ordered the Cantonese set. Cantonese noodles are something I rarely get to eat outside of Chinese restaurants, so it feels nostalgic. It was served to me in less than 5 minutes after ordering! Fast! Just as expected from a Chinese restaurant! The Cantonese noodles were cooked firm, which made them very delicious. The fried rice was exactly what I was looking for - fluffy and perfectly seasoned. Mixing the noodles' soup with the fried rice halfway through made it even more delicious. This Chinese restaurant offers tasty food at a reasonable price, making it a great place to enjoy a satisfying meal.

I had a big breakfast and by the time lunch came around, I was hungry again. I wandered around wondering where to go and ended up at this restaurant nearby. The daily special was posted outside, but I didn't pay much attention and just ordered it without really looking. I think it was around 800 yen. My companion ordered soy sauce flavored ankake yakisoba. We started with a highball toast, and they also gave us some persimmon seeds. The daily special was ankake ramen with pork and bean sprouts, served with rice and pickled vegetables. It was okay in terms of appearance, taste, portion, cost performance, nothing special. The soy sauce ramen with pork and bean sprouts stir-fry was good as usual. The portion was not large. I probably won't order the same daily special next time, as there are too many other things I want to try. Maybe I'll go for the Number 10 set next time.

This shop is located between Daito and the bus center in the underground passage. It's more of a place for set meals rather than Chinese food. You can get ramen for 430 yen. This time, I ordered the Lushu rice for 750 yen, which is quite affordable. It's great to have a place where you can have set meals at night. For an additional 150 yen, you can get a half portion of ramen. Not bad, right? I'm thinking of trying the fried rice next time.

I'm so busy that I didn't even realize it's already lunchtime. I'm not sure if I'm hungry or not, but I feel like I should eat something or I'll be in a bad mood later in the afternoon. I ordered the Green Pepper Beef Set for 750 yen. It's a good deal compared to other places where it's more expensive. Oh, and please give me less rice. The portion should be generous. I can hear the sounds of pots clanking and sizzling coming from the kitchen. Nice. The dishes are being prepared quickly. The Green Pepper Beef and the soup are a bit mild for Chinese food. I ended up adding some pepper. The rice is on the softer side. I'm impressed that they can make fried rice with this.

Located in the basement of the Keiwa Odori Building 50, south of Sapporo TV Tower in Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Tokyo Gojuban opened its first store in Sapporo in 1961, when the HBC Sanjo Building was completed. The main store is now located in Minami 2-jo, Chuo-ku. The entrance of the restaurant displays a menu. I visited after 2 pm. On weekends, people working nearby come for a late lunch. Smoking is allowed inside, which can be bothersome. In addition to a la carte menu items, there are set menus available. The Cantonese noodle set includes Cantonese noodles, half-fried rice, and pickled vegetables for 1000 yen. The Cantonese noodles have a savory soy sauce-based broth with ingredients such as shrimp, Chinese cabbage, carrots, wood ear mushrooms, and snow peas. The half-fried rice is delicious, with ingredients like egg and char siu.

◆Street One Coin Series Vol. 4 Our investigation team (although it's just me...) set out to find a one coin ramen to enjoy in the center of Sapporo city. Our final destination was "Tokyo Goban Odori Nishi 1-chome Store". "Tokyo Goban" - a name that brings back memories. I'm pretty sure I visited a store in Sapporo's Sun Plaza Tanuki Koji a long time ago, but I hardly remember. Besides this "Odori Nishi 1-chome Store", there are two other stores - one in the basement of Aeon called "Asao Store", and the one that relocated last October called "Susukino Store". The Susukino store opened as the "Lafira" store closed in April last year, and now it's newly opened as a street store across from Norbesa. Now, about this "Odori Nishi 1-chome Store". When I looked at the address, I wondered, "Did there used to be ramen shops in Nishi 1-chome?" Nevertheless, I decided to give it a try. The weather was nice today, so I walked above ground to get there. Entering the "Keiwa Odori Building 50" as per the address, I spotted the "Tokyo Goban" sign within the "Keiwa Flavor Famous Shops" sign. Going down the stairs, I found the shop. Upon closer inspection, I realized that this building used to be the "Yuraku Building" where Kinki Nippon Tourist Co., Ltd. was located. The building's name changed, so I didn't recognize it. That means this dining street used to be called "Yuraku Flavor Famous Shops" (sweating). I used to come here often to eat lunch. It's been quite a while since I had lunch in this famous shop street. I entered the shop and it was quite crowded. They also asked, "Do you smoke?" even in this small space, so I guess there are smoking and non-smoking sections? However, I didn't see anyone smoking. I ordered the "Shoyu Ramen" for 391 yen (including tax). Surprisingly, in this "Street One Coin" project where we introduce ramen in the price range of around 1,000 yen, I never expected to find a store that offers ramen for less than 500 yen. According to the shop's website, "Tokyo Goban" originated from a Chinese restaurant in Yokohama that opened in the Meiji era. It started expanding nationwide in the Taisho era, pre-war and post-war Showa era, and began nationwide expansion as "Chinese Restaurant Goban" in 1955 (Showa 30). It entered Sapporo in 1961 (Showa 36), making this year the 60th anniversary. By the way, the name "Goban" has become synonymous with town Chinese restaurants nationwide. The family of the world's home run king, Sadaharu Oh, actually owns one of these "Goban" stores. If you remember the scene where the protagonist of the manga "Kyojin no Hoshi", star player Tatsuya Uesugi confronts Oh while delivering ramen from Goban, you're probably around the same age as me (sweating). Oops, I digressed again. Now, about the ramen. It arrived in about 5 minutes. It's a traditional style with soy sauce soup, chashu, menma, and nori. The bowl is the traditional raised edge type. Let's dig in. First, the soup. It has a nostalgic taste - a sweet soy sauce soup made from chicken bones that has been around for a long time. The noodles are medium-thin, slightly curly egg noodles. They have a nice texture. The noodles are provided by Sagamiya Seimen. The chashu is a normal type of pork belly, about 2mm thick. It has an old-fashioned finish, with a slight pork smell that may bother some. The menma and nori are also good. It's light and tasty. I finished every last drop of the soup and noodles, delicious. Once again, I finished everything. Truly the "r" that has been the friend of city salarymen. This bowl tells the history and tradition of Tokyo Goban, beloved by the common people. Of course, they have a wide variety of ramen and Chinese dishes on their menu. A diverse lineup of town Chinese dishes that tickle the stomachs of salarymen is available. This old-fashioned Chinese soba. Before the birth of Sapporo miso ramen, this kind of shoyu ramen was probably eaten in the town of Sapporo. It's a taste that brings back memories. And so, the journey to find one coin ramen in the center of Sapporo ends here.
