It has been a excellent day out for me, making a journey to Brooklyn for the famous Di Fara pizza (Will follow up with a review of this and Grimaldi pizza, 2 of the best in NY) followed by coffee at the Red Horse Cafe near Prospect Park. After which was a first to a NBA match where the New York Knicks against Detroit Pistons. Unfortunately it started to go wrong from there. First came the rain instead of the predicted snow, and followed by my worst ramen experience in NYC.
Sapporo restaurant, been recommended by a friend, we decided to check it out as it was my last night in New York and really want to a good ramen to finish off this trip. Situated at midtown (Map), it was a short distance from Madison Square Garden where we attended the match. We ordered Gyoza, Miso Ramen and Shoyu Ramen and we were surprised that all 3 dishes came in less than 2 min after our orders.
Unfortunately everything kinda went from bad to worse from there. Gyoza was still acceptable, better than Wagamama in London, ramen was worse than the instant noodles that I cook, and the soup taste awfully of MSG! We hardly finish 1/3 of what was in our bowls and left in extreme disappointment. If you have read my previous reviews of the other Ramen places, I rate Sappora as completely off the list. Avoid at all costs unless you are lost in midtown and have nowhere else to go (Sorry Tommy, they probably had an off day or maybe you went to a different place!).
