sapporo is superb!

by Nicholas234

wait staff is poor but understandable due to the lack of workers and staff. on a busy night (even with reservations!) we waited about 45 minutes but the food was excellent and the chef was very friendly and personable and the onion volancoe and egg trick was a hitf for sure! the menu prices arent that bad and you get more than you would at ichiban thats for sure!! shrimp sauce is yum yum as usual and the chicken broccoli is phenomenal!! definitely add a fried rice to the meal its an extra 3 dollars or so but its worth it definitely. overall the experience was fun for the kids and everything was enjoyable. definitely recommendable.

• Pros: good food, friendly staff, prices arent bad, nice portions, shrimp sauce!
• Cons: slow waitresses and chefs, not enough staff members, no sushi :(, bad location...in a middle of the pittsburgh motel parking lot!

Waste of gas and time.

about 6 months ago came in sat down ordered alcoholic drinks ands then asked for sushi menu and the waitresses told us that their sushi chef is sick. so great we come to a hibachi place that has a sushi bar sign lit and in every advertisement and their website says they have sushi. the food wasnt too bad but the service sucked and we waited forever evern though we had reservations. coming here just expect the staff to be rude and lazy.

we went a few weeks ago and the same thing. sushi light is on and theres no sushi. the ad i got from the paper advertises sushi and the waitress told us sorry we dont have the stuff to make sushi. then our chef comes out and he tells us as long as he worked their that they have never had sushi ever. this place is a joke

• Pros: food isnt bad
• Cons: false advertising

*DELICIOUS*

by pittsburghfoodlover

First off.. there are plently of other Japanese steakhouses out there. Many of them very traditional, upbeat,and even modern. Which I have to admit I love. However, Sapporo Japanese Steakhouse has been around for more than 10 years and is still providing customers with great quality foods. I have traveled to many great cities and the first place I want to check out are the Japanese steakhouses. Overall, Sapporo has many delicious dishes, many with special sauces that other steakhouses do not have ( I've checked) Also everything is fresh and made to order. Other places I noticed that their fried rice is already cook and simply just re-heated on the grill for *show*. Not here, they have their steamed rice untouch and prepared completely in front of you from scratch. No wonder people rave about their fried rice! I ordered the famous "chicken broccoli" which is cooked in this "special" sauce I was talking about. It is something that I now crave. If you truly love food then you will appreciate their freshness. Sure the other steakhouses in PA look nice, but from my own personal experience, their food does not compare. It has been a wonderful experience and I plan on returning along with many friends and family.

• Pros: FOOD, FOOD, FRIED RICE
• Cons: More ambience (in the process of reconstruction!)
