Hokkaido Ramen Santouka Harvard Square

Willahelm Wan

A little disappointed with Hokkaido this time. I have had their ramen years ago. They were better back then. The quality definitely has slipped since I had it for the first time. Maybe I've had better ones since then. The bowl feels smaller. I ordered Negi Nanban ramen regular. It is labeled as spicy with a warning, but it wasn't anything out of the ordinarily spicy. Probably won't come back again which makes me feel sad because I used to love this place.

Great quality ramen. Remember to order the large portion as it is not really huge. Broth is quite authentic but can feel rather salty after a while. Order an Ajitama to go with it. Order gyoza for more variety. Overall, a good quality ramen in Boston/Cambridge area.

Went here with a friend for dinner. We ordered the Gyozo Combo and Green Salad Combo respectively and a side of Takoyaki. The food was good, but one of the servers was not very friendly.

Clean and spacious ramen shop with a great location on bow street in Harvard Square. Bustling with mostly students, staff was very courteous and took necessary COVID precautions. I had the miso chashu gyoza combo, which comes with gyoza and ajitamago. The soup was decent. I usually like a coarser miso texture, especially for Sapporo-style, which often has corn and/or butter added to it. The noodles tasted fine. The chashu was smallish with a strong pork smell to it. The gyoza tasted more like frozen gyoza and not freshly made. Ajitama was slightly overcooked. The whole meal was okay, just not worth $18 for me. It’s not fair to compare it to ramen in Tokyo, but if that’s what you’re used to as well, you may not enjoy Santouka.
