Please note, this review is of delivered food, not food consumed in the store. As such, quality may differ.

So I have to dine alone for lunch for the foreseeable future (wife has new job), so I've decided to try everyplace that will deliver to my location (currently using online dining platform ), and review them all. This was my first choice.

I ordered: Fried Dumpling (5pcs) - $50 and Pork Bone Rich Taste Hot Spicy Soup Ramen - $110. Both were "favorites" and they gave me an option for spiciness in the ramen and I picked "super spicy".

I ordered around noon and the order was confirmed within minutes. Delivery was estimated at 25-35 minutes, and it was about 35 minutes. (This is Monday if it matters.)

Review:
Dumplings: somehow the fried dumplings are on the "grilled" part of the menu. I assume this is a translation error. Anyway, I was quite pleased with the dumplings, they had an excellent flavor, a good crisp bottom, and were nice and hot. If I re-ordered from this place, I would definitely get them again. I do wish they gave you more sauce. It's not that I used all of it, but it's hard to dip the dumplings given the container they give you. Rating: excellent.

Pork Bone Rich Taste Hot Spicy Soup Ramen (Combined)

Ramen: I reheated the soup in the microwave a bit. Soup is not all that great for delivery, given the containers it's typically transported in. There was certainly a lot of food. The noodles were thick and medium firm (no option for noodle firmness). The broth was spicy, maybe about a 6 on the 1 = none, 10 = too spicy to eat scale. I didn't really like the flavor of the broth, though. It was rich but it was missing more dimensions. This is going to sound a bit odd but it kind of had a "dark chocolate" flavor. The pork was OK. Rating: mediocre.

I don't think I will order from Hakodate again. I'll admit that their dumplings were good, but I was completely underwhelmed by the ramen. Indeed, some high-quality instant ramen with added meat and veggies would have been better and almost infinitely cheaper.

Final opinion: not recommended.
