Hokkaido University Central Cafeteria — Restaurant in Sapporo

Curiosity brought me here. And I was impressed by the quality and price.

This cafeteria must be attracting many non staff or non student diners, so much so that peak dining hours are reserved for staffs and students. If I recall, that's 11.30am to 1pm. So make sure you visit during off peak.

Pick up a tray and go down the line to assemble your meal. Choices are so plentiful that the only regret is our own limited tummy space.

Cafeteria and good service don't often go together, but I have to say the staffs here were top notch. They were used to having foreigners and so they were quite patient with us. If you need more time to decide and there are students or staffs queueing behind you, let them go ahead first while you take your time to choose.

If I lived in Sapporo, I wouldn't mind eating...
