We had good sushi & service walking distance to our hotel. We werenât starving so found this place out of convenience thru Trip Advisor.Food & service was good, 5 min wait. Lacked decor as 1 un-inspired room but satisfied what we needed, just a light dinner.

This restaurant represents a relatively new chain of poke restaurants. You pick the fish and rice that you want and then add different sauces and additional ingredients - veggies, etc. Fish selection was very small compared to other place I visited in the past. Prices are very reasonable.

Our family has enjoyed numerous birthday celebrations throughout the years at Sapporo, both inside the main dining room as well as in the festive Hibachi Room. While dining at a table, typically sharing seating with more than your party, Hibachi prepared food is a culinary and artistic experience where the Chef prepares your meals on a hot griddle, which is an extension of the table. Entertaining, artful food preparation, humor, tricks and explosive fires will delight and amaze all eagerly watching, resulting in laughter, camaraderie and a memorable, festive dining experience. If it is your birthday celebration, you will be serenaded by the staff, much to your embarrassment or delight. This is a fun adventure and the delicious resulting meal makes this a must do! Try to gaze up from the table to appreciate the marvelous views of the Harbor and Monterey Bay.

This is a gem, situated in the historic downtown of Monterey. The food is awesome. We tried Sunday special, lunch special (red snapper teriyaki set), tempura udon and takoyaki. Each one of those really make our palates sing! Barley tea, hot and cold, are provided at no charge. Only drawback is that the place is small so that the seating area is small. We are lucky we got a table on time for our meal.

Went here based on a recommendation. This is a small place with about 5 tables and counter seating. Atmosphere is noisy with 70's music playing the day is visited. Food was very good as was the service. The tempura was outstanding. The restaurant is cold inside. Myself and other customers even discussed it. Will I go back? Absolutely with a warm sweater.
