SORA Sapporo Ramen - West — Restaurant in Amsterdam

We’ve been coming here for more than three years and were excited to come again after the summer break. Unfortunately some things got changed. It felt a bit empty inside, the table and the walls were empty and when I asked about it, the girl told me there is a new owner and some stuff changed.

Nevertheless I ordered one of the ramen I always get, Spicy Miso Ramen and this made me disappointed… normally my ramen would be full with vegetables like taugé, seaweed, spring onion, egg and several pieces of meat. Now my ramen came with just some noodles, one piece of thin meat and just a few leaves of spinach..? I finished my bowl within five minutes and am still hungry, which was never the case. My girlfriend had the same experience, with her Spicy Miso Vegetable Ramen. There were no vegetables, only spinach and cabbage.

A bit a shame from such a lovely beautiful hidden ramen shop that was always on point!!! Giving 3 star because of the history we have with it, but to the new owner, please keep the integrity...

We just move to this neighborhood not long ago so there are so many restaurants that we need to explore. This ramen place is caught our eyes with many good reviews so we must try.

The first impression when we arrive was how small of this ramen place. They have limited seats so people just eat, finish and leave. If you want to just spend long time with your meal for some chitchats, this might not be a place for you.

The staffs are so friendly and will assist you with what you need even though the restaurant is so busy. We ordered recommended dish. I love my tonkotsu shoyu ramen with toppings of eggs and leek. My meal was perfect and soup broth is good! My husband ordered Gokujo Sapporo Kuro Miso Ramen, it was tasty at the beginning but he finds it’s quite salty mid way of the meal. Still, he finished the ramen. There are other ramens we would like to try so we will be back...

I really enjoyed SORA Ramen in Amsterdam West. The ramen is yummy and they have cold Kirin beer right from the tap. My favorite was the Spicy Miso Ramen, but be careful, it's very hot! My wife found it too spicy. However only the broth is hot ;-)

The restaurant is small and quiet, with tiny tables. It's comfortable but simple. There's no music, which I missed. It would be more fun with tunes in the background.

Remember, you can't book a table ahead of time. Also, they only accept credit cards or PIN for buying your meal. A bowl of ramen will cost you about 16 to 18 EUR. I't not that pricey if you consider the other dinning options in the area, and I believe it's the top ramen you can find around here.

They're open for a long time, from lunch all the way to 9pm, but only on weekdays. So, plan your visit accordingly... This...
