Always a great experience. The service, drinks, and sushi are always on point here! Their garlic edamame is divine! Don't pass on that appetizer.

Splendid sushi spot. Great variety, and absolutely love the option name a price and let the chefs put something together for you. Highly recommend that route. Friendly and helpful service. Atmosphere is vibrant...get there at 5:00, you'll probably get a table easily, but the place is full before your meal is done. And that's not a bad thing! Some of my best times here have invoked waiting for a table at the bar, enjoying some tasty cocktails and pleasant conversation.

While I can't recall the exact names of the drinks or sushi rolls we ordered, I can say everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The drinks were perfectly crafted, refreshing & balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness. The sushi was fresh & bursting with flavor, each bite a delightful combination of textures & tastes. The staff was attentive & knowledgeable, helping to guide us through the menu & offering excellent recommendations. Whether you're a sushi aficionado or a casual diner, Sapporo is definitely worth a visit. I'll certainly be back to explore more of their menu!

I went here for a girls night with my cousins and we had such a great time and the food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the gyoza and we enjoyed it so much that we ordered two for the table. I also had the chicken and steak combo hibachi and it was some of the best hibachi I think I've ever had. The staff could've been more attentive but she was super friendly. The atmosphere was very intimate which I liked a little bit better than hibachi restaurants that have the table where strangers sit with each other. If you're in the area and looking for some good hibachi I highly recommend!

We went there yesterday for my birthday dinner. The vip sushi is 1 of my favorites. They have a great variety of sushi to choose from. We got the edamame. This time it was a little too salty. Their salads are good with their ginger dressing. We got the vegetable tempura and we always enjoy that. We all got the combination hibachi of scallops and filet mignon. My son's steak was undercooked but they fixed it. They do nothing for birthdays. Place is pricey. Total price with tip was $227. That's for 4 people.
