I visited for lunch. I ordered the F set with tantanmen and meat on rice bowl. I found the sauce on the meat bowl too strong for my liking. The staff was very kind, offering homemade karinto and saying it's okay to get drink refills.

I had Dan Dan noodles at a long-established Chinese restaurant in town. I really like the warm and friendly atmosphere. The Dan Dan noodles had a mildly spicy and flavorful soup with minced meat and green onions. The homemade thin noodles were also delicious. I appreciated the complimentary drink service (today was Oolong tea). The spacious parking lot and the kind consideration of the staff make me want to visit this restaurant again.

This is a Chinese restaurant located along Kita 3-jo Street in Chuo Ward, Sapporo. I revisited after a while and tried the meat on rice bowl. The soy-based sauce with a thick texture was to my liking, but it seemed to have a strong garlic flavor. The ingredients were pork, bamboo shoots, and greens. It was tasty, but I felt like it was a bit lacking in quantity. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

I ordered the E set, which includes tantanmen, shrimp fried rice, and osinko, for 1,200 yen. Based on the reviews, it seems that the tantanmen is famous, so I decided to try it. It was indeed delicious. However, as someone who loves spicy food, I found the level of spiciness to be lacking. Since I was short on time, I declined coffee after the meal and left the restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

This is a Chinese restaurant located along Kita 3-jo Street in Chuo Ward, Sapporo City. It's a place I visit occasionally since it's quite close to my workplace. On this day, I ordered the Mapo Don with extra spiciness. I had thought before that it wasn't a very authentic type of dish, but with the added heat, it turned out to be quite delicious. I've always liked this flavor, so the spiciness made the Mapo Don even more enjoyable. It's a mysteriously enticing dish that I crave from time to time. Thank you for the meal!

8-5, Kita 2-jo Higashi, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. Located further east from Sapporo Factory in Higashi-ku, near Naganuma Memorial Park, this Chinese restaurant is a two-story building with a prominent photo of tantanmen on the wall facing the street. I had been curious about their tantanmen for a while, so I visited around 6 pm. I climbed the stairs to the second floor, where I found a menu with photos on the wall. Inside, the restaurant had a typical Chinese eatery vibe, with a few customers already seated. The kitchen was not visible from the dining area. There were counter seats, regular tables, and even a raised tatami seating area at the back. I ordered the tantanmen and half serving of shrimp fried rice for 1200 yen. The tantanmen had a simple combination of ground meat and green onions, lacking in leafy greens. The soup was not the usual white sesame paste-based, but rather a spicy broth with cayenne pepper and chili. Although it was different from my expectations, the light yet flavorful soup with a hint of garlic and ginger turned out to be quite tasty. The noodles were made from 100% locally sourced wheat. The shrimp fried rice, cooked in lard, contained shrimp and egg, and was served with pickled daikon and cabbage. The restaurant also offered a complimentary drink after the meal, with choices like hot coffee, 100% orange juice, or oolong tea. I chose oolong tea and was pleasantly surprised when they also brought out some karinto (Japanese fried dough snacks). The miso soup portion was generous, and the overall nostalgic atmosphere of the place was charming. They had a variety of set menus, including options for choosing two main dishes, as well as curry dishes priced at 750 yen and 790 yen for katsu curry. The cashier area displayed a cute illustration of the owner and the hostess, drawn by a customer. The restaurant was non-smoking, with a designated smoking area next to the cashier.

This is a Chinese restaurant located along Kita 3-jo Street in Chuo-ku, Sapporo. It's close to my workplace and they serve lunch quickly, so I often come here when I almost become a lunch refugee. On this day, I had the mapo tofu rice bowl. The sauce was quite thick, not very spicy with the flavor of doubanjiang or Sichuan peppercorns, more like a Chinese-style rice bowl sauce with added spiciness from chili oil, I think. The spiciness was moderate with a good amount of garlic. It might not be the most authentic dish, but I actually quite like this kind of mapo tofu. It's easy to eat with rice and I enjoy it. However, I feel like ¥890 for mapo tofu rice bowl is a bit expensive compared to ¥750 for other Chinese rice bowls. Maybe they use good quality tofu? I'm not completely convinced, but the dish was generous with tofu and minced meat, so I'll probably order it again. Thank you for the meal~(^_^)

This is a Chinese restaurant located along Kita 3-jo Street in Chuo Ward, Sapporo. It is close to my workplace and they serve lunch quickly, so I often come here when I am in need of a quick meal. On this day, I had the miso ramen. It was a very typical dish for a Chinese restaurant. The soup was relatively light, leaning towards red miso flavor. There was a slight pork smell, similar to tonkotsu ramen. The amount of noodles was on the smaller side. The toppings included Chinese chives, bean sprouts, a little bit of onion, and small pieces of seaweed. There was no chashu or ground meat, so it was quite simple. Towards the bottom of the soup, minced garlic started to come out, and I realized that it had a surprisingly strong garlic flavor. Overall, it was a decent menu option. Thank you for the meal!

The "C Set" includes five-ingredient yakisoba and gyoza for 1,000 yen. The five-ingredient yakisoba is a yakisoba with a thick sauce and includes meat like gizzards. It's quite delicious. The gyoza in the set has a crispy outside and a chewy inside. The gyoza sauce is served in a small cup like a teacup. You can also get a refill for the drink in the set. Although I've passed by this restaurant many times, today was my first time trying it. It seems to be a popular place with lots of customers.

This is a Chinese restaurant located along Kita 3-jo Street in Chuo Ward, Sapporo. It was my second visit since it's quite close to my workplace. I was curious about their curry, so I ordered the pork cutlet curry. The curry sauce had a slightly strange taste, oily and thick with a cooked vegetable texture. It was quite spicy with a peppery heat and a strong salty flavor. It had a rich broth-like flavor, probably derived from ramen soup. The pork cutlet was quite firm with little fat. It was a unique tasting curry that I didn't dislike. Thank you for the meal~ (^_^)

This is a Chinese restaurant located along Kita 3-jo Street in Chuo-ku, Sapporo. I visited it because it's quite close to my workplace. I tried their signature dish, Tan Tan Men. The service was quite fast. The soup looked red and spicy, but it was actually a clear, soy sauce-based broth with a hint of oil and paste on the surface. The spiciness was not too strong, and the sesame flavor was subtle, with a light and slightly salty soup. The minced meat with thick sauce was quite generous. It also had chopped garlic, which added a nice touch when mixed in. The noodles were slightly curly and thin, with a smooth texture and a soft, slightly chewy consistency. I didn't feel like the portion size was large enough. I realized later that I burned my mouth a bit. Maybe I'll try their rice dishes next time. Thank you for the meal!

Visited at 7:30pm in December of the second year of Reiwa for dinner. He wanted sweet and sour pork, while I chose green pepper beef. We ordered a set meal where you can choose two dishes. We had fried rice and twice-cooked pork set. As always, the set meal was generous in portion. They will be open until the 29th for the year-end and will resume business from the 4th of the new year. They also offered appetizers and New Year dishes. When asked, they mentioned that they can prepare them according to the number of people and price. I would like to come back again!

I entered the restaurant around lunchtime on a regular day. The restaurant is located on the second floor, with menu photos displayed prominently on the stairs. As soon as I entered, there were sample dishes of the menu. The interior of the restaurant had a cafe-like atmosphere, not typical of a Chinese restaurant. When I sat down and tried to decide on my order, I was informed that the daily special was sweet and sour pork, so I decided to go with that. The order arrived on a tray without much wait. However, the combination was quite strange. Natto, tofu, seaweed salad, pickles, imitation crab sticks, miso soup - it was like a Japanese meal. The pork in the sweet and sour pork dish was not sliced pork, but meatballs. I had imagined crispy fried pork for my Chinese meal, so I was a bit disappointed. This dish might be suitable as a daily special at a regular lunch spot, but for me, it just didn't quite hit the mark.

I arrived at the restaurant just after it opened at 11 am on Saturday. There was one group of customers before me and one group came in after. It's located along North 3rd Street, near Sapporo Welfare Hospital. I'm not sure how long it's been open, but it seems like a well-established place. It's quite close to my house, but I haven't had the chance to visit until now! The first floor has a spacious parking lot, and you have to go up to the second floor using the stairs. Food samples are displayed at the entrance. The interior is like a cafe, with several paintings hanging on the walls. The staff, who seemed to be the owner, greeted me. Due to COVID-19 measures, they are not using the counter seats. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, including ramen, yakisoba, fried rice, curry, rice bowls, set meals, and side dishes, not just Chinese cuisine. This time, I ordered their recommended "Tantanmen" (750 yen). It arrived about 10 minutes after the previous customer's order. The hot soup had a light but deep flavor, maybe made with chicken bones? It was mildly spicy, but I wish it had a bit more kick. The homemade noodles made from 100% Hokkaido wheat were thin, slightly wavy, chewy but a bit soft. It was topped with plenty of ground meat, which was delicious. They also served a drink after the meal - I chose oolong tea, but they also offer hot coffee and orange juice. It was satisfyingly delicious. Although it's not exactly my preference, it had a unique taste that comes from being a long-standing establishment. If the noodles were a bit firmer, I would have rated it 4.0 in taste... The cost performance is good. The warm service from the owner's wife was also comforting. Next time, I'll try the "Gomoku Yakisoba" or "Gomoku Chahan".

Located diagonally across from the public health hospital in Chuo-ku, Sapporo, is a Chinese restaurant called Narutan. It is a popular spot for lunchtime, bustling with office workers and others. I stopped by on my way back after dropping off my friend's wife at the hospital. It was lunchtime, but the restaurant was not crowded, probably due to COVID-19. My friend's wife and I sat at a four-person table and considered our order for the day. I decided on the B set for 1000 yen, which included ramen and a meat bowl, while my friend's wife chose the sweet and sour pork set for 1100 yen. Each dish came with a choice of hot coffee, oolong tea, or orange juice. My B set arrived first, followed shortly by the sweet and sour pork set. We dug in right away. The ramen and meat bowl were delicious, but I found the sweet and sour pork to be a bit too sour for my liking. Nevertheless, it was very tasty, and the staff at the restaurant were friendly, making for a pleasant lunch experience. Thank you for the meal, and I look forward to stopping by again the next time I drop off my friend's wife at the hospital.

There is a parking lot on the east side of Sapporo Station, so if you visit by car, you can avoid the long lines at the station and it's recommended. They serve homemade noodles with a wide variety of Chinese dishes at reasonable prices. They offer a good value lunch menu on weekdays! Today's lunch special was pumpkin and pork stir-fried with oyster sauce. There were plenty of dishes and I left feeling full. They also have a room for about 20 people for parties. The atmosphere is casual and the lovely owner manages the dining hall. She has a very warm personality. I will definitely come back!

- Date: 2019/09/16/MON - Restaurant: 中華料理 なるたん - Menu: F Set (tantanmen + meat on rice bowl + oshinko) for ¥1200 I had been thinking of revisiting this place soon, but it's already been 3 and a half years since my last visit. I know, I know, it's a bit far from the city center, so I can't really make excuses... But today, as I was looking for a place to eat before watching a movie, I suddenly remembered this place! This time, I ordered their specialty tantanmen as part of the F Set. The energetic lady running the place was as lively as ever. The tantanmen had a simple appearance with subtle sesame flavor, spiciness, and numbing sensation in the soup. The noodles were slightly thick and straight, with a good match to the soup. The meat miso topping was plentiful and delicious, with a nice spicy kick. Then came the meat on rice bowl, with a flavorful sauce that complemented the dish perfectly. I'm not a fan of cucumbers, so I didn't touch the oshinko pickles, but I was already full by then! They even served complimentary oolong tea after the meal. I left the restaurant feeling very satisfied. Thank you for the delicious meal!

★KG★ I visited for lunch on a weekday. Upon entering the restaurant, there are chair seats and a counter in the front, with about 4 round tables in the back. Lunchtime is usually crowded, and while you may not have to wait for a seat, you may end up sharing a table. The owner is as energetic as ever! She looks great in her traditional Chinese dress. The most famous dish at this restaurant is truly outstanding. She takes great care of her customers, and I am always impressed. However, despite visiting a few times, I struggle to find positive aspects about the food. The rice dishes seem to have issues with the way they are cooked, and the rice itself is a bit off. The noodles also seem overcooked, and I always feel like I should avoid ordering any beef dishes. I wonder if it's a problem with the ingredients? Despite the excellent service, I feel like the kitchen still has a long way to go to match the level of the service. I apologize for this negative review, but I wanted to share my honest thoughts. Thank you for understanding.

I have been coming here since it opened, although I have been away for over 15 years due to business trips and such. The friendly mama-san is still the same as always (laughs). I ordered the D set for 1000 yen, which includes a Chinese rice bowl and gyoza. It's a bit pricey, isn't it? The Chinese rice bowl had a firm sauce with crunchy vegetables and quite a lot of squid in it. The gyoza was a bit firm too. It was nostalgic and delicious. Thank you for the meal. I have returned to Sapporo, so I will definitely visit again!

Visit date: 2018.11.1 It's probably been about 20 years since I last visited here (laughs). This area has many companies, making it a popular spot for salarymen to relax. As it's a Chinese restaurant, it gets really crowded during lunchtime. The staff working in the hall are very efficient and friendly. They seem to be chatting with almost every customer who walks in (laughs). It's quite impressive. The restaurant must have been around for a long time, or maybe it's the management side. As a customer, it feels good to be treated this way. It's no wonder this place is popular. Now, onto the food. I ordered the "A set for 1000 yen," which includes ramen and shrimp fried rice. The ramen was pretty average (laughs), with the noodles being on the softer side. The fried rice, on the other hand, was delicious. It had that authentic Chinese restaurant taste. For lunch, you get a choice of iced oolong tea, orange juice, or hot coffee. Thank you for the mealヽ(´Д｀;)ノ
