Jingisukan Ram — Restaurant in Sapporo

Got there around 5.50pm on weekday and there was no queue. How lucky.

If you’re afraid of strong lamb smell like me, don’t worry - I really enjoyed it without that kind of smell.

Shop is small with two tables for 4 and one counter which could fit 8 people. Better to get seat over counter as the uncle would advise you how to eat and help you avoid overcooking the meat.

The ventilation is great so we did not feel much smoke or greases inside.

We only ordered Hokkaido lamb even though there are others from Iceland and Australia.

Lamb fillet - a MUST try as it is available only 2 servings a day. They will cook for you and only as medium rare. They actually asked us beforehand if medium rare was alright. I guess it was at its best as medium rare. Very soft, tender and no lamb smell. We ordered two.

*Lamb chop - very flavorful and juicy. They will cook and season the chop before serving. This might take some time but waiting is gold.

*Hokkaido lamb - not as outstanding as the other two.

*Neko rice - nice to go with the grill. I love the smell of bonito flakes.

*Kimchi rice - not bad but I prefer neko one.

If I come by Sapporo, I will definitely...

Want to give 3.5 stars but just rounded up. Variety of fresh lamb cuts from Hokkaido, Iceland, and New Zealand as well. Great atmosphere of a mom and pop shop, and very aesthetic round cast iron grills. We ordered the tongue, Hokkaido lamb, and a lamb chop. Overall I thought the meat lacked some seasoning, even with the dipping sauce on the side - the meats would taste a lot better with just a bit of pre-seasoning. The lamb chop was the best as they do pre season and cook on the grill before serving it on your individual pot, however it took 20 minutes to be served during peak dinner hours.

Seems to be a famous spot with a decent wait, but not worth waiting in line for imo. The service is pretty slow due to being understaffed and while the meat is fresh, it’s not out of the ordinary. But a cool local...

You MUST DO IT try the lamb chop! You can only order one, but it’s understandable, if they didn’t limit it I’d eat too many! The workers are so kind and welcoming! The Hokkaido lamb was so delicious, a little expensive but the quality is so good! I want to eat so much! The veggie portions are huge!! Big bowl of onion, bean sprouts and potato! They have soft drinks like ginger ale and also orange juice! Very delicious! BTW, went at around 6:40 and waited in line for around 1 hour, don’t trust google when it says less busy it lies sometimes! The place was bumping ! make sure to get a number before getting in line! It was worth the wait. I’d go again 10/10

Also if you sit at the counter and cooking the meat and not sure if it’s ready to eat the worker told us it was...
