I had the ramen set lunch at Ni Hao cafeteria. The name of this place has a relaxed vibe, but everything I eat here is delicious! The mapo tofu I had the other day was also tasty, and today's ramen was delicious too. And even the curry is delicious! And it's cheap! Ni Hao is amazing! #SapporoGourmet #Chuo-kuSapporo #Lunch #ChineseFood #Ramen #Curry

I visited the same restaurant for lunch that I had a good impression of last time. I arrived at 11:50 on a weekday and had to wait for about 5 minutes before being seated as the restaurant was full. I ordered the "fried rice set (880 yen)" with chicken karaage (you can choose from 7 types of panda set). The set came with salad, pickles, and soup and was served in about 10 minutes. The fried rice was neither too dry nor too moist, with no outstanding flavor. The large karaage that I enjoyed ordering separately last time came with a sweet and sour sauce on the side, and I was satisfied with it again this time. Overall, the portion size is good and the cost performance is great. It might be a good option for casual dining in the neighborhood. It's convenient to use, isn't it?

Today's lunch. A restaurant near the office that I had never tried before. I ordered the fried rice set meal with a large portion for 950 yen. You can choose one side dish with the fried rice. I chose the shrimp chili. The taste was like a typical local Chinese restaurant. The fried rice was slightly salty and moist, just the right amount for a large portion. The shrimp in chili sauce was big and the seasoning was not too spicy, giving it a home-cooked feel. It seems that the fried chicken set meal is popular at this restaurant, and my companion ordered it, and it was quite a generous portion. It was a budget-friendly restaurant.

- Ebimayo - Xiao Long Bao - Jellyfish Salad - Braised Pork - Almond Jelly - Ankake Fried Rice - Two soft drinks For two people, the total bill was around 4500 yen after using a local resident discount coupon. We stayed at a nearby Super Hotel with a discount for local residents, so we enjoyed some drinks at the lounge before heading out for dinner. We randomly chose this Chinese restaurant without much research, and it turned out to be a great find! The place was quite busy, and since it was close to closing time, we quickly ordered. Every dish was delicious and we were very satisfied. The dishes were served gradually, making it easy to enjoy each one. I noticed that some other customers ordered the extra-large portion of fried rice, which seemed like a huge amount, so I wonder if the portions here are really that big! I'm not a big fan of Chinese food because it tends to be oily, but the dishes here didn't feel too greasy. Sharing the meal with my companion allowed us to try a variety of dishes and they were all tasty. After ordering, I realized that the specialty here might be the juicy pan-fried dumplings, so I would love to come back to try those when I have the chance. There are many other menu items that caught my eye, so if I stay at Super Hotel again in the future, I would definitely consider dining here again. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I visited for the first time around 11:45 on the 4th day after New Year's. When I entered, there were already quite a few customers. As a solo diner, I was lucky to find a seat at the counter. I had the fried rice for 650 yen, which was delicious. Overall, the prices were quite reasonable. I would like to come back again. After paying the bill and leaving, I noticed there was a line outside.

At 12:00 pm, there were 2 groups of 4 people waiting outside. We were seated inside in less than 10 minutes. The majority of customers seemed to be office workers from nearby. The restaurant had a long layout with a counter, tables, and raised seating areas. They offer all-you-can-drink options and evening set meals as well. There were many set meal options, but I ordered the "Tenshinhan (650 yen)" and a side of "Karaage (130 yen)" by speaking to the staff. The Tenshinhan was delicious with fluffy eggs and the Karaage was satisfyingly large. Sweet vinegar was provided separately. Overall, the restaurant had a convenient location, nice atmosphere, diverse menu, reasonable prices, and tasty food. It's a place that is easy to use and worth visiting.

Great value for money! For just 3,000 yen, you can enjoy an all-you-can-drink course at night! You can also get craft beer for just 100 yen per glass. The food is delicious and the cost performance is excellent! Plus, they offer a different lineup of dishes every time. This Chinese restaurant is a savior for salarymen!

A great ally for the surrounding salarymen. I rely on it a lot. Mostly for lunch. Every menu is cheap and fast. This time, I tried the limited-time Tianjin egg ramen. Great value as always. I sometimes go there at night too, and can eat and drink at a good price. I hope they continue to be around, capturing the stomachs of the surrounding salarymen and being our ally.

Arrived at 12 o'clock on a regular day. There were 3 groups of customers already and more coming in. Located on the west side of Hokkaido University Botanical Garden, next to the natural hot spring "Gokuraku-yu". The interior doesn't look much like a Chinese restaurant, more like an izakaya. There are liquor bottles lined up at the back of the counter. The BGM is Western rock music like Queen and Aerosmith. There are 2 hall staff, and the kitchen is not visible. The ramen comes in three flavors, and the set with half-fried rice is a good deal. But this time, I ordered the "Tantanmen" (730 yen). It arrived in about 4 minutes. Fast. The soup has a nice sesame aroma, smooth and delicious! It's slightly spicy for those who like medium spiciness, but it's pleasant. It has a clean spiciness without any roughness. After eating, my lips tingle. The scent of Sichuan pepper is also nice. The white straight noodles are firm and chewy, delicious! The toppings include meat miso, green onions, spinach, and finely chopped wood ear mushrooms with a good texture. I was quite satisfied with the deliciousness. The Tantanmen is quite to my liking. The cost performance is also good. The portion is sufficient. It seems quite authentic, and I have a feeling that other menu items will be good too. Next time, I'll try the "Ramen Set".

In March 2020, during my visit back to Sapporo, I went around trying out different restaurants. I found a Chinese restaurant on the first floor of a building with a sign for Mapo Tofu, so it must be a Chinese restaurant. The sign was handwritten, indicating that it was probably run by a Chinese person. As I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by a Chinese lady saying "Welcome!" so I responded with "你好" (hello in Chinese). The restaurant had counter seats, small tables for two, and even a tatami room at the back. It was a popular spot with a good number of customers. The walls were lined with liquor bottles, creating a lively izakaya atmosphere. Smoking was allowed, which may not be ideal for non-smokers. The lunch menu featured a dish called "Panda Set Meal" which seemed like a playful name. Despite the name, the set meal was quite substantial, offering a choice of six Chinese dishes including Mapo Tofu and Sweet and Sour Pork. The price was reasonable at 750 yen. I decided to go with the Panda Set Meal with Sweet and Sour Pork. The set meal included Sweet and Sour Pork, rice, soup, pickles, and salad. The main dish, Sweet and Sour Pork, was a stir-fry of cabbage and pork belly in a sweet and savory sauce. It had a Japanese twist to it, which may not be what you expect from Sichuan cuisine. The portion of rice was generous and the side dishes like salad, soup, and pickles were also ample. The pickles were spicy and delicious, adding a nice kick to the meal. Overall, the food was tasty and the cost performance was good, making it a popular spot. I later found out that it was known for its delicious Sichuan cuisine. I look forward to trying their Mapo Tofu next time, although the only downside might be the cigarette smoke. Thank you for the meal.

Located near Gokuraku-yu in Nishi 12-chome, this place is a neighborhood favorite for its reasonable prices, especially during lunchtime. On this particular evening, I decided to take advantage of their solo-friendly drink all-you-can-order option. For 1200 yen, you can enjoy 90 minutes of drinks including classics, which is a great deal considering I can easily have at least 3 drinks. They also offer a variety of small dishes in the evening, making it easy to create your own drinking set. I started with the spicy Chinese-style chilled tofu, followed by sesame-flavored steamed chicken, and flavorful mapo tofu. Each dish was delicious and paired well with my drinks. This place offers a comfortable and reliable dining experience, perfect for a casual night out. I will definitely be back again. Thank you for the great meal!

This is the area of Sanko South. I have a one-hour lunch break, so I'm heading for lunch. I usually bring my own bento, but recently I've been scouting out lunch spots and looking for a place for evening parties. Although the store looks a bit suspicious, I decided to go in. Surprisingly, despite the appearance, the place was almost full! I managed to find a seat at the counter as there was one available. To my surprise, I also noticed several acquaintances here. I quickly looked at the menu and ordered the Ankake Yakisoba for 730 yen. It only took about 7 minutes for it to arrive. It came faster than the other customers who were waiting for their orders! The portion was quite generous and satisfying. The seasoning was just right. If I had to nitpick, I would have liked it a bit more burnt. The noodles were on the softer side, but the ingredients were basic and tasty. It's easy to see why so many people come here for lunch. This place is recommended in this area! It's clear that it caters well to the needs of office workers. I was reminded of that once again. Thank you for the meal!

I used this restaurant at night because it was the closest to the hotel where I stayed. I used it for two days, and both days it was crowded and lively. They have a wide variety of appetizers, and they also offer evening drink sets at a reasonable price. I left feeling full and satisfied.

There are also small dishes available, so you can enjoy a variety of dishes even if you are dining alone. The juicy dumplings are recommended while hot. They go well with beer.

I revisited around noon on a weekday in February 2022. I had the tantanmen for 730 yen. It had just the right level of spiciness for me, and I was very satisfied. The restaurant was busy with customers coming in non-stop. I would like to come back again.

Fried rice set. Comes with fried rice, panda meal with one side dish which is mapo tofu. Also includes salad, pickles, and egg soup. You can sprinkle ground sansho pepper for a spicy kick. The fried rice contains minced meat, green onions, and eggs.
