Sapporo Ramen

Food-first ramen — no frills, very solid.

My Take

Sapporo is a small, no-frills ramen shop that focuses on doing ramen well. The miso ramen is excellent — rich broth, good noodles, proper toppings. It's not trying to be trendy or Instagram-worthy, just good ramen at reasonable prices.

Why It Matters

Kendall Square is full of overpriced lunch options. Sapporo is the antidote — quality food, fair prices, in and out.

Best For

Kendall Square lunch, cold weather comfort, ramen without the scene
