I like this little hidden place with restaurants. They're all small little shops and you have a wide variety of Asian options.

There is nothing better than spicy miso goodness on a cold winter day! We love Sapporo Ramen the broth is fantastic and the ramen is very consistent. Whenever winter gets me down I head to Sapporo!

This is one place I will eat everytime I visit Boston / Cambridge for the past 15 or so years, and I usually order the house ramen. Its chicken-based ramen soup is very reliable and tasty, Dosed with strong collagen, the soup is thick and flavorful. The ramen and chasu are up to my standards as well. To compliment the noodle, I would order gyoza or pork buns, both are good as well. The line here could be long during the rush hours but it will be worth the wait.

My family and I ate hear our last night in Cambridge. Even though it was a Saturday night at peak time we had no problem finding seating in the H Mart food court in which Sapporo Ramen is located. The line was minimal and our bowls came out in a timely manner. Prices were also reasonable. My wife and I each got the Miso Ramen which was $11 per bowl and more than enough for even a vigorous appetite. Let me put it this way: this place is good. I mean, really good. It is hard to believe how good for the money. I’d been to a few authentic Ramen places many years ago and had forgotten how good really quality Ramen can be. The noodles had such depth of flavor and texture. Everything was incredible.

There are 4 or 5 Japanese restaurants in this tiny corner of this mall. There are lines for the ramen places. They are tiny places that seat about 20. Once you get a seat the service is pleasant and efficient. The ramen is just OK. My wife's noodles were still cold but the flavor was OK. The tables are cramped and people are hovering waiting to sit down. The tan tan men was only slightly like the much better places in California and Hawaii. In short, it's Ok for Boston.

This is my favorite ramen place. Get here early so you can sit down and eat ramen, but if you end up having to wait, it’s still worth it! One thing to note here is that there is parking(?!?) In the back at a very reasonable price. I come here whenever I can manage it!

I was looking for a bathroom in here. I was expecting a Porter Potty. Get it. Get it. This is a really happening spot on a Saturday night with masses of fancy Asian eateries in a big Hall that is part of the University. There is so much going on here and lots of people watching and it's pretty fancy with long wait times. But then that's Boston for you isn't it. Trendy places always have the long wait times.

We have been going to Sapporo Ramen for over twenty years. It is my benchmark to rate other Noodle restaurants. It is the old Sears building (now Lesley College) in Porter Square. It is located in an indoor street setting with tables and chairs opening up to the corridor. The restaurants are all Asian cuisine. I believe Sapporo Ramen has best the Noodles around.

I cant even tell you how much the ramen was delicious. The broth was very thick, pasty and just full of tasty things. The pork was very moist and oh my god so soft. It just really melted in my mouth. I was a little dissapointed that there were so many beansprouts though as it was not in the description of the meal. I ordered miso ramen with an extra egg which I wish it was more soft boiled but still was very happy with my meal. Also the service.. so lovely!! Would definitely recommend.
