You will find Sapporo in the “Chinatown” plaza on west colonial. Although it sits alongside multiple Asian fare establishments, it’s quite a surprise to find an authentic Japanese ramen and noodle place in this neck of the woods

In this cozy ramen shop, you cannot help but notice a vivid yet simple hand drawn comical story line of  cute animals and creatures all along the walls.

With a subtle Japanese decor of bamboo ceilings and shogun warrior lighting, Sapporo will definitely give you a relaxing state of mind to enjoy whatever savory dish you order.

The takoyaki is a must do when you go to Sapporo. A decadent and crisp shell with a moist and flavorful stuffing of fresh octopus.

Pork Katsu Curry – The Japanese curry is infused with bits of slow cooked beef, and can probably be the closest to perfect Japanese curry sauce I have had in Orlando. The pork katsu fried held its crispy composure while maintaining all the moisture and tenderness of the meat. Subarashii.

Tonkotsu pork ramen has a savory meat based broth that brings all the ingredients together in harmony alongside the ramen – this is definitely not your typical instant ramen noodle variety – it’s the real thing.

Feel free to add more toppings if you have a greedy appetite – an additional helping of the Cha-Shu pork belly is always a good idea for the meat lovers. A perfectly marinated and tender pork belly that feels at home in the ramen concoction.
