Sampomen Zan Sakaisuji — Restaurant in Osaka

Regardless of what the other 5-star reviews say, this does not taste like anything authentic. Firstly, we were put upstairs. There was one staff sitting upstairs but did not want to take our tickets. Next, we waited for a very long time for the food. Close to 15 minutes for Japanese standards, and there were no other customers. When the food came, my soba was very hard. The broth tasted mild, and for some reason it tasted like a lot of shichimi was put inside. I did not like that it was oily either. The staffs looked so demotivated to serve us, like we were a bother to them. Worst ramen I've had in Japan. Instant noodles would taste a lot better. Please go find better ramen...

Sampomen Zan Sakaisuji is a hidden gem that truly impresses with its authentic flavors and welcoming atmosphere. The ramen is rich and flavorful, with perfectly cooked noodles and a broth that showcases a wonderful depth. The menu offers a great variety of options, catering to both traditional and adventurous tastes. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a memorable dining experience. Whether you're a ramen enthusiast or a newcomer, Sampomen Zan Sakaisuji is definitely...

Just mediocre. Visited this joint as the original place I wanted to get dinner was closed for business.

Meat was overcooked, noodles had good texture, over-salted broth. Egg was cooked well, but cold in the hot broth.

Does the trick. Would only visit if no...
