GARAKU

We came here just before closing for lunch and ordered the curry soup with chicken and pork - both were very good and authentic. Price was reasonable with friendly service. Highly recommended for something local!

The place serves amazing soup curry. Love the idea that you are able to customize your meal by selecting your spice level and portion of rice. They also offered nice sides to go with your meal. The service staff are fantastic. They are extremely helpful in explaining how to order and attentive to y...our questions. Food itself is very good. The vegetables are fresh and cooked well, and meat are well marinated and tender. Portion is also just right. Would suggest ordering the small rice portion so that there is room to try out their sides too. The only downside would probably be that there is insufficient instructions around for someone new to know about the requirement to register then queue. Overall the price and quality of the food is well worth the queue and wait. Will love to return for a meal anytime.

We came here to take seat number before the restaurant open 1130am, after number toke we waited another 1 hour to be notify by apps and continue waited another 20 minute in front of a very tight entrance with many other tourist waiting in line to go in to the restaurant. Food were serve 10minute af...ter ordered, the taste of the food is good but not worth the waiting time. Anyway, it's good to try this specialty in Hokkaido if you have plenty of time to kill in the city or shop around Tanukikoji Shopping Street while waiting for notification from the restaurant when you are ready to be seated.

The food here is good, better than the other soup curry that I’ve tried in Sapporo. The soup is a little thicker and tastier, the rice is also better. The only downside here is their 1 particular staff. He was mean to us… if he has a problem with speaking in english…he could have just asked hel...p from his colleagues who can explain their system to us, instead of shouting on us….telling us to wait outside. Our number were already called…I received msg, so we went inside the restaurant… then he just shouted on us and send us outside without explaining why… We learn from other customer that if you received the message, it means that you have to be there…outside their restaurant to wait until your number is called (manually…actual called by their staff) then you can wait inside the restaurant to wait for your seat. People are waiting on a cold weather outside, being kind could go a long way.

For foodies, soup curry is surely on the top of their Hokkaido gourmet hunting list. My partner and I kind of stumbled into this restaurant in an afternoon that rained cats and dogs. We're lucky it didn't take long before an usher signaled us to move to our table. The soup curry, which displayed fre...sh vegetables and chicken meat bathed in a thick broth, didn't let us down. Definitely will come back next time!
