After going to a sauna and shopping in Sapporo, it was already dinner time. I decided to head to my second favorite soup curry place, SOUP CURRY KING Central Store. I looked at the menu and decided to try the monthly curry, which was the Beef Tendon Tofu Curry for ¥1,400. I got a regular size rice with it. I also ordered a beer (Sapporo Classic) for ¥550. The beer was served promptly and was nicely chilled. The curry arrived in about 5 minutes, with beef tendon, tofu, mizuna, nagaimo, cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and quail egg as toppings. Let's dig in. The first few bites were a bit spicy and made my throat tingle, but the soup base was delicious. Oh, there are chopped pickles in it! I started sweating a bit from the spiciness. I felt like there could have been more toppings, like eggplant. I occasionally sipped my beer to balance out the heat. After finishing the meal, I still felt the lingering spiciness in my mouth. It was a satisfying meal! Next time, I might challenge myself with the spiciest option, Joker... but it has Death Sauce in it, so I'm not sure yet. It's a tough decision.

In one word, curry is truly a matter of personal preference. This restaurant serves a creamy type of curry, which gives off a medicinal herb-like vibe. Some people prefer this style, while others prefer a spicier, more intense flavor. The deep-fried vegetables are top-notch, as expected in Hokkaido. The vegetables themselves are robust and satisfying to eat. I chose the mild spiciness level, but I think a level 2 or 3 would suit this curry better. (My companion tried level 2 and I have experienced it) Thank you for the meal.

I went to SOUP CURRY KING Central branch. I was craving soup curry. Lately, I've been into Japanese-style broth. Seafood Curry (spiciness level 2) for 1,900 yen, with a large serving of rice (300g) for an additional 50 yen. The soup curry here is still pretty spicy even at level 2. The soup is flavorful with a double soup base of chicken and a rich taste. The seafood is plentiful, sautéed in butter. It has a hint of sweetness. The vegetables are on the softer side. The potatoes have absorbed the soup, making them delicious with their natural sweetness. The rice is turmeric rice with barley, and it complements the soup well being fluffy. The Seafood Curry is a bit pricier compared to other items on the menu. Considering the amount of seafood and the process involved, it seems reasonable. I arrived at the restaurant around 6:30 pm on a Sunday. Waited for about 25 minutes to be seated. The dish was served within 5 minutes. When I finished eating and left the restaurant, there was a line stretching all the way up to the ground floor from the basement store. The wait at the end of the line seemed like it would be around 40 minutes. There were many solo diners, so the turnover seemed good.

After returning from Otaru, we went for a stroll in Susukino. With limited time, I couldn't afford to be tired! A parfait was scheduled in my itinerary, but I got drawn in by the spicy aroma of soup curry during the stroll and changed plans... Soup curry for dinner! Even before 9 pm, the restaurant was bustling with customers of all ages, showing its popularity. We were seated at a counter that happened to be available. Looking at the menu, curry is not available on its own, it comes with rice, and choosing no rice costs the same. I had sushi as a snack in Otaru, but that was at 5 pm, so I should be fine (^O^) My order: Chicken and vegetable curry, spiciness level 4, with small rice. My daughter's order: September monthly curry, minced meat and mushroom curry, spiciness level 4, with normal rice. You can choose spiciness level from 0 to Joker, with 4 being very spicy. Let's see if it's really that hot... The curry arrived, served in a large bowl with a generous portion, looking luxurious ♡ The chicken was large with bones, tender and falling off the bone, while the vegetables were big and had a good crunch, adding to the volume. The soup felt creamy at first but then... spicy!! Spicy!! If 4 is this hot, 5 might be too much. I think the red powder prince from somewhere would handle it fine though! Haha, despite the heat, we enjoyed it. Soup curry is a stamina food! Thank you for the meal ♡ After that, we took another walk to walk off the fullness!

When you come to Hokkaido, be sure to try the soup curry at Garaku, Suage+, and Soup Curry King. Each of these shops offers delicious soup curry. Soup Curry King's soup is rich and flavorful. I ordered the beef and vegetable curry and the chicken and vegetable curry, both were delicious. The spiciness was just right, and there were plenty of vegetables in the curry. The beef belly was tender and satisfying. However, the chicken lacked depth in flavor and felt a bit empty. It was crispy on the outside due to being fried. During lunchtime, a drink is included, making it a great deal. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Central is my first time. There are a lot of tourists and the line is long. However, it seems that the order of entry and ordering are not related, so if you order quickly, you can eat soon. The taste is fine. But overall, including the atmosphere, I think it's better to go to the main store even if it's far away.

I ordered chicken and vegetable soup curry. I chose medium spiciness. The spiciness is similar to a medium spicy store-bought curry, leaning towards spicy. It has coconut in it, giving it a creamy taste. The chicken was tender and blended well with the soup. It was very delicious!

I finally made my debut in Sapporo with a visit to the popular soup curry restaurant "SOUP CURRY KING Central Store" that was introduced in a YouTube video by Wakkii TV! The location was easy to find, near the newly built "MoYuk Sapporo" building. However, there was a line on the stairs leading to the underground floor where the restaurant is located. The staff brought the menu while we were waiting in line, which was helpful. I ordered the Chicken Vegetable Curry for ¥1,700, Seafood Curry for ¥1,900, and Mango Lassi for ¥450. The service was polite and the staff was friendly. I chose the spice level as the recommended medium. After a 30-minute wait, we were seated. The restaurant had counter seats, table seats, and semi-private booth seats. The seafood toppings were served separately. The curry was delicious with a rich aroma and a perfect blend of spices. The soup was flavorful and had a nice kick to it. The chicken and vegetables were cooked to perfection, and the seafood was abundant and tasty. The curry was served with rice, which was a perfect combination. The Mango Lassi was also refreshing and delicious. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience with high-quality soup curry that was worth the wait. I highly recommend trying it!

I was introduced to this restaurant by someone from Hokkaido. There was a line, but surprisingly the turnover was good and we only waited about 15 minutes to get in. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was nice. Of course, the food was delicious and I was very satisfied.

When I arrived at the restaurant right at opening time, there was already a line! I was smoothly seated without having to wait, but by 11 o'clock it was already full. There was a menu in Chinese, so there must be a lot of tourists. I ordered the number 2 chicken curry. They gave me half portion of rice. The soup was milky but had a light aftertaste. I'm not familiar with spices, but I could feel a slightly unique aroma, not too strong, rather a taste that grows on you.

I visited around 8:30 pm on a weekday. I was the last customer before they sold out. I waited outside for about 30 minutes before being able to enter. I placed my order outside and as soon as I entered the restaurant, my curry arrived. The chicken curry was so delicious, it was definitely worth the wait. The taste is unforgettable. It was my first time trying soup curry, and it was by far the best curry I've ever had. The staff were all very friendly. If I ever visit Hokkaido again, I would love to go back to this restaurant! Thank you for the delicious meal!

I had the classic chicken leg curry. The soup had a strong dashi flavor, like a ramen soup with less oil and added spices. The chicken was tender and the skin was crispy, with a ginger seasoning that was delicious. The young staff members were polite and the service was not bad. I also had a hot yuzu tea for 300 yen, which was just average.

I took a stroll in Ohori Park and around 11:00, I searched for a soup curry restaurant on Tabelog. I decided to go to this restaurant which had the highest rating in the area. When I arrived at around 11:30, the restaurant was already fully packed. I was seated at the only counter seat available. Soon after, more customers started coming in, and the waiting list inside the restaurant filled up quickly. I ordered a Hokkaido limited beer, Sapporo Classic, and Chicken Vegetable Curry. You can choose the level of spiciness, but I'm not good with too much heat, so I chose the recommended level 2 spiciness by the staff. The interior of the restaurant had a warm and cozy lighting, creating a perfect atmosphere. The Chicken Vegetable Curry was served in about 10 minutes, and it had a generous amount of vegetables. First, I tried the soup, which had a perfect level of spiciness and a rich flavor. The vegetables were cooked just right, maintaining a nice texture. It was a soup curry where you can enjoy the vegetables. The chicken was tender and could easily be broken apart with a spoon. It paired perfectly with the saffron rice. Oh, this soup curry was the best! Thank you for the meal. I will definitely come back again someday. As I left the restaurant, I saw a line of customers waiting to get in. I'm glad I arrived early. (laughs) P.S. When I read other reviewers' comments, it mentioned turmeric rice instead of saffron rice. I wonder which one it actually is?

Had dinner at the Central branch of "King" restaurant! Although King's main branch is located in Minamihiragishi, this was my first time visiting this branch. I heard that it is popular and often has long lines, so I was relieved that reservations were available! The restaurant was quite spacious, with about 90% of the tables filled, indicating its popularity. I decided to try the special menu item only available at the Central branch, the "Beef Curry (¥1400)", with a spice level of "5" which is the highest free level, and I used a coupon from Tabelog to get free mushroom topping on more than half of the rice. I also considered the monthly special menu item, the Chashu Ramen (¥1300), but I thought, let's see how their ramen is first, and it turned out to be a good choice as it was featured on a TV program a few days after my visit! The wait for the soup curry was less than 5 minutes, which was surprising, and when it arrived, the amount of soup made the ingredients sink, making it look like there were only green peppers and cabbage (haha). However, there were plenty of ingredients, including beef, quail eggs, carrots, potatoes, and the free mushrooms. The soup had a complex flavor profile with a hint of Japanese-style dashi from kombu and bonito flakes, sweetness from pork bones, creaminess, and a smooth texture, which was complemented by the burst of spices that came afterward. The soup also had a light flavor, indicating the use of chicken bones, which I confirmed later. The gentle sweetness, light flavor, and tingling spiciness that followed were a unique experience. I barely broke a sweat and didn't need to gulp down water until I finished the meal, so maybe I could have gone for a spicier level? But I think adding more spice might have masked the umami flavors. The rice was cooked with turmeric, giving it a firm texture that didn't dilute the soup. The beef was so tender that it almost fell apart with just a few millimeters of pressure, releasing the sweetness of the meat juices and the flavor of the soup. The thickness of the beef was just right, making it irresistible! The deep-fried vegetables were also delicious! One thing that stood out was the use of potatoes with the skin on. It added a unique texture, with a slightly crispy and sweet outer layer protecting the firm and slightly fluffy inner part, creating a stewed sensation. The mushrooms had a chewy texture that was interesting. The rest of the ingredients were tasty as well, but I won't go into detail as it would be endless! The staff's service was excellent, and even the person at the cashier engaged in conversation, leaving a positive impression. If I had skipped the chain restaurants near Sapporo Station, I might have been able to visit many famous soup curry shops! I would love to try the limited items at the Gateway branch or the main branch. Thank you for the meal.

The soup curry has a slightly different texture with crispy chicken! But it's soaked in the soup, so... The taste is well simmered and the added spices kick in directly, making it delicious. Even at the extra spicy level, it's not that spicy.

I used the shop "SOUP CURRY KING" in Sapporo, Hokkaido for lunch. I had some business in Susukino, and since it was late on a Sunday, I visited a few shops but they were closed. This shop was open, so I decided to try it out. The staff recommended the most popular menu item with cheese topping. You can choose to have the cheese on top or mixed in, and I chose to have it on top. The chicken was tender, the vegetables were soft, and the flavor was great. I was very satisfied with my impromptu visit. Thank you for the meal.

Ordered Pork Kakuni Vegetable Curry with spice level 2. The soup was creamy with just the right amount of spiciness. The dish was filling with plenty of ingredients. Despite being located underground, the restaurant was surprisingly spacious and the staff were very polite and cheerful. I would recommend this restaurant to both locals and visitors.

Popular soup curry restaurant in Hiragishi. I read that there would be long lines, but we were seated right away. I ordered the Chicken Soup Curry (1300) with medium spiciness. The chicken sank into the sea of soup, making it not very visually appealing. The ingredients such as potatoes, carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, quail eggs, and chicken leg were inside the soup. Maybe due to the high cost of vegetables. The taste was quite exquisite, unlike anything I've had before. I heard that they use a double soup combination of chicken bone and vegetable stock, as well as a Japanese-style dashi soup made with kombu, dried bonito, and other ingredients. The rice was saffron rice. There were many foreign customers, and the menu was also available in Korean.

The soup curry restaurant my friends took me to during my business trip in Sapporo. It's located underground and there was a line even up to the stairs... I waited a bit, but they took our order in advance so the soup curry came out quickly after we were seated. I ordered the Chicken Vegetable Curry. It definitely had a lot of vegetables. I got the regular size rice, but there were plenty of ingredients so I was very satisfied with the portion. I chose medium spiciness, and even though it looked mild, the spices were well-balanced and it was a delicious soup curry.

I visited the popular soup curry KING in Minami-Pingan, at the city center branch. I went around 7:30 pm on a weekday and was able to sit without waiting in line, perhaps because it was past peak hours. The restaurant was about 70% full. I ordered the Chicken Curry (crispy chicken leg, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, cabbage, quail egg) with a spiciness level of 4, and also used a coupon for mushroom toppings from Tabelog. I decided to try the same dish as the main branch. The soup curry, made with a chicken bone and knuckle base, and a double soup of Hidaka kelp and bonito flakes, was consistently delicious. The taste was just like the main branch, with a light yet creamy soup that is flavorful and makes you want to come back for more. Thank you for the meal.

KING has become quite expensive, but I really wanted to try their natto minced meat curry! I used a service voucher to add seaweed topping. I wonder why this seaweed isn't on the regular menu - it goes so well with natto. Even if you don't like natto, I recommend giving it a try!
