    Friendly staff, good service, super delicious curry soup. Be warned tho, spicy in English menu is actually "really spicy" in the Japanese. Also this is (at least right now) a cash only place, so make sure to bring cash.

    When you are in Sapporo, must try their soup curry. It is different from the usual Japanese curry which is more like a thick stew. This is very much like a soup loaded with protein and vegetables. We tried the chicken (whole chicken leg), pork (pieces of thick pork belly) and lamb (minced pieces) in one of the city highly rated restaurants selling soup curry.

    Found this place by coincidence on my way back to my hotel. Located at basement level where their signage could only be seen on the street level. So happened I was looking for curry soup to try. Queue was less than 5 minutes. Service was courteous and prompt. Simple menu with only 10 types of curry. I chose the stew pork and chicken curry. First time trying the famous Hokkaido soup curry. Surprisingly, it was good. It has 14 levels of spiciness but only went for a little spicy and medium spicy. Not really spicy at all. But the soup is rich and flavourful. Go so well with the rice. The chicken is tender while the pork is a bit too lean for me. Made it more chewy. A must try in Hokkaido.

    Meat dish : no spicy (0/10) Chicken dish : Spicy 5/10 Really good taste. 5/10 little spicy oishi!! If you miss the queue of Soup Curry GARAKU, I suggest this place. Let's taste.

    Chanced upon this soup curry restaurant while we were looking for soup curry restaurant in the area. My wife ordered Chicken Vegetable Curry with level 1 spicy level while I ordered Seafood Curry level 2 spicy level since we can't really take spicy food. We both love it! You may go for a much higher level of spiciness beyond level 13 if you love spicy food. The ingredients were plenty and most importantly the broth is great. Do order with rice. The curry goes very well with the rice. Highly recommended.

    During my recent trip to Sapporo, I discovered that curry soup was a must-try when visiting the city. However, all the curry soup restaurants recommended in travel books had long queues stretching for hours. Instead of waiting, I stumbled upon a local favorite that seemed authentic and popular among the locals. Upon arrival, I noticed a significant number of locals patiently lining up. After waiting for about half an hour, it was finally my turn to enter the cozy and intimate restaurant. The restaurant wasn't very large, with limited seating available. I decided to order a seafood curry soup and a chicken thigh curry soup. The soup seemed to be crafted from a blend of various ingredients, creating a flavorful broth infused with curry spices. Taking a sip of the soup alone already revealed its delightful sweetness. Additionally, I ordered a cheese-topped rice dish, which was served with a generous slice of cheese on top. Whether it was the quality of the rice or the combination of flavors, the dish was already incredibly tasty. Compared to regular Japanese curry, the curry soup had a more pronounced aroma of spices, a spicier kick, and a refreshing hint of freshness. I found it to be a delightful and flavorful experience. However, one minor disappointment was the texture of the chicken thigh in the curry soup. It was slightly tough compared to the tender meat typically found in slow-cooked curries. To complement my meal, I decided to try a unique drink—a yuzu-flavored lassi. It was a special twist compared to the mango lassi commonly served in Indian curry houses. If you ever find yourself in Sapporo, I highly recommend exploring the local curry soup scene, and this restaurant would be a great place to start. The distinct flavors and the fusion of curry and soup make for a memorable culinary adventure.

    Always be my favorite one out of all the soup curry's stores in Sapporo. I've been being their customer before this branch has opened, and both of them are impressive. Anyway, this branch might got more points from me because of the location. It's easy to go there from Odori or Susukino station, also no need to walk outside for a long distance (I mean, the weather here is Sapporo is not usually good for me to be outside).

    Actually wanted to try suage+ but end up in Curry King. I would give 5star but -1 because of the waiting was long according to the amount of people was inside. Just the process to take people in is too long, it’s cold outside, -6 degrees even though we were waiting in the staircase. About the food: delicious. It’s my 1st time having soup curry so I don’t know if it’s better other place or not. Also, we were hungry. My husband took pork curry with vegetables and I took á chicken curry with vegetables. Cost 1500 yen/ dish. This is perfect winter dish, should try when you r in Sapporo.

    Waited 45 minutes. Service was really good. Can't say the same for the soup curry though. Ingredients were super fresh but all I tasted was the overwhelming pepper in the soup and no other flavours. Not worth waiting in line at all.... Overrated... Just visit Suage if you want amazing soup curry.

    Wanted to share between two persons so we could try other food as well. However, there was minimum order of one set per person. They sell only soup curry on the menu (with different toppings) so no choice had to get two bowls. Nice but it was a heavy meal.

    Sometimes new food can surprise you, especially when u go to one of the best in town.I walking in expecting not much but it WOW me so badly!!! Strong spices, Hot, Spicy, Meaty, Richness and Fullness is what u expect from cold region foods, this shop blends it deliciously and i wouldn’t said it totally curry. For tourists,Curry always good with chicken, they have English menu even Chinese and Korean too. Price is about 10-20$ per person, long waiting time.

    Came 5 minutes before opening and there was already a line. I didn't make the first group of seating so I had to wait until one opened up around 30 minutes later. Ordered the pork/veggies one. Spicy level goes from 1 to King (playing cards numbers). I enjoy spicy food so I got a Jack. It was pretty spicy but enjoyable. The broccoli and pumpkin were my favorites ingredients in this curry. They are grilled very well. Only complaint was that I wished the pork was stewed longer so it would be softer but overall it was still a very delicious meal.

    Very Tasty curry! We visited during the winter festival of 2020. The soup warmed our stomach’s from the cold. The soup was extremely flavourful and a good amount of spices. Would definitely recommend this place for those visiting Sapporo for the first time and wanting to try soup curry.

    Waited about an hour. Soup was level 5 spicy Had the beef with tofu and mitake mushrooms The flavour was very good, while no experience with soup curry, I do appreciate the dish. Service was great, the waiter/ host came up the stairs in the line and kept in touch with us throughout the wait. Atmosphere inside is a bit ordinary, perhaps that’s the charm. They could fit 10-15 more seats in the dining area. Tastes like a watered down coconut-less laksa.

    The table where I was seated had a funny smell - to the point that at first I thought I was sitting near a restroom. No credit card is accepted for some reason, which seemed odd and inconvenient with its central location and how so many foreign customers dine here. I ordered chicken vegetable curry and it tasted a bit too oily. I’ve had much better soup curry in Sapporo before to be honest.

    Great soup, and taste. The shop is underground and there are no windows. Portion size and taste is great, however The joker isn’t spicy enough.

  • 5/5 Jonathan K. 4 months ago on Google • 32 reviews
    One of the better soup curry in Sapporo area especially when eating in the cold winter. Service was fast as well, however, do expect to queue especially during peak hours. Beef was slightly hard; I do suggest to get their signature chicken soup curry.

    Delicious heart-warming Curry Soup! Full of yummy vegetables, just the right thing to warm up in the cold Hokkaido winter. At lunch time the queue was pretty long, we waited around 30 minutes but it was worth it. I would love to be able to eat this soup every day to be honest. Staff was also very kind and welcoming. Totally recommended.

    Went on a Wed and queued for almost 45mins. Seems like a queue with half Japanese and half foreigners. The interior is fairly spacious and tidy. Ordered beef vegetable curry with standard amount of rice and no.2 medium spicy. However there were only a few pieces of beef and sadly they were quite dry…luckily there were plenty of mixed vegetables to get my stomach full…. Just an average restaurant of eating Hokkaido signature soup curry. Rather not recommend to friends or revist it.

    Great flavour, warming from the inside. You can choose the level of spiceness. I like chilli, but don it eat too spicy. I chose number 10 and it was great.

    Good soup curry on a winter day! Yummy! Let the photos tell all!

  • 5/5 Kawn D. 1 year ago on Google
    Best curry soup we had in Sapporo. If you only want to go to one skip the rest and come here. Heads up, they don’t mess around with the spices. Everything in the soup was fantastic. Also recommend adding the gyoza to it. Definitely recommend!!

  • 5/5 Echo L. 5 years ago on Google
    The very best soup curry by far in Sapporo. Recommend King over Garaku.

  • 5/5 Gina M. 5 years ago on Google
    This was delicious! So flavorful and filling! The chicken falls right off the bone, and even when there’s a line, they have an efficient system that gets you in quickly.

  • 5/5 Simon K. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered the beef vegetables curry. It was amazing! The place is clean and spacious. There’s queue all the time, so expect to queue and wait. There’s a staircase from Main Street to B1. Efficient staff came out to take orders in advance to cut short waiting time. Overall great experiences.

    Really yummy. Hot curry soup with rice in a very reasonable price! I ordered the pork one and it was really soft and melted in my month 🤤

  • 1/5 Xue S. 1 year ago on Google
    So bad experience, I have order no spicy curry, but they give me very hot spicy one. In addition, I have ordered one lassi, but they didn’t give me any drink and put my lassi on other table. Other customers have drank that, when service found lassi on wrong table, and then they directly put the drank drink on my table. I told them I wanted to have a new thing, they rejected me and said ‘if you don’t want to this drank lassi, we won’t give you new one and cancel your order’. I never met so rude services and they gave me everything is wrong, including main and drink. It is so terrible for me.

    Love the coconut soup not to thick and light. And the level spiciness we can choose based on what we likes. Level 2 is perfect. I order the beef one and the beef is so tender

  • 5/5 Kelvin G. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food. Service is good but bear it in mind that even the last order is 9pm. They might not take in any orders after 8.30pm. Be there earlier if you do not wish to miss this.
