New Sanko - Otaru

Very hearty noodle dishes and cold beer. The prices are average and the portion sizes are very generous.

Looks like it should be a lot fancier than it is. Everything served on trays and with buzzer to let you know to collect your coffees. Completely okay, however the atmosphere leads you to expect more.

Can accommodate large numbers of people There are many kinds of dishes. For group customers 団体客向き。

The atmosphere is super nice as most seats have excellent view of Odori area. I think it's nicer at night as the lighting at Odori is not too extravagant like Susukino's but sufficient to make a good bokeh photo. The two yakisoba dishes, the Hong Kong style and the sauce yakisoba, are highly recommended. The mango pudding dessert is great for lactose intolerant individual as the ice cream is made from coconut milk and the pudding is mostly caramel. The service is great as staff is always ready to serve and is very responsive. Just raise your hand and the staff will come right away.

Amazing food and service. The Sanko set was about $20 AUD for a generous selection of local dishes. Everything was delicious. There is a free self service station for soda, tea, water and miso soup. Best bang for buck eat in Otaru.
