Sapporo

I'm not sure how this restaurant isn't a 5 star or even close to it! We wanted to check out a new sushi place and stumbled upon this gem! The decor is quite amazing, elaborate, intricate and simply jaw dropping in my opinion. Their attention to detail on the design of this place and decor is astonishing. Modern Japanese aesthetic meets the Japanese empire. It always keeps you looking. Every time I come, I see something I hadn't seen before. The lady at the front always greets you and the servers are fantastic! They were quick, informative and precise. Our food came out so fast even though they were packed! Definitely a lunch spot if you are crunched for time! They provide you with complimentary salad with their house made ginger dressing and miso soup. The ginger dressing can be purchased if you really like it like we did!! The miso soup was great too and flavorful. We ordered the following:- Karai Ramen: yowza!! This soup is perfect on a cold, rainy day. Heck this soup is perfect for even the Texas summer heat! The broth is so flavorful, with just the right amount of spice that makes your throat burn but in a good spicy kind of way! You want to keep going back for more! It has ground pork, a hard boiled egg, ramen and bean sprouts. The ramen noodles were perfectly cooked, not mushy but just the right texture. If your sick or if you just want a good spicy ramen soup, get this. You can't beat the price for the amount you get!! $10 and you can share between two people or keep it to yourself and take it home for left overs! With these high food prices, this definitely works on someone's budget! - Las Vegas Roll (deep fried): perfectly tempura'd, perfectly rolled, just the right amount of ingredients! You can get any sushi roll fried in tempura mix for $1.00! Again the price for the amount you get is right in point. - San Antonio Roll: of course you could get some at H-E-B, but these masters don't disappoint! They were rolled to perfection and the roll was quite hefty in terms of size! I get this every time I come here! Beautifully executed and plated with the right amount of sauces! - Texan roll (deep fried) : this was another hit! The wasabi tobiko cavier was very interesting but fun to eat! I've never had it before but it does have the wasabi flavor! Another dish we'd recommend! Again, I think the prices are reasonable with the amount you get! Definitely check this place out and their soups!!! Keep this one alive SA!!

I have been meaning to stop by Sapporo for a while now and I am glad that I did! While having a hard time deciding what me and my plus one wanted to order, we realized we could get the Dinner Sushi Solo that covered all our bases at a great price! The fish for the sashimi and nigiri were super fresh and the seaweed salad portion was generous, considering the cost of it as just an appetizer at many places. While we split the dinner, our server still brought each of us complementary miso soup and salad - all of which tasted great! There aren't dishes or sushi that will totally blow you away, but that is not what this place is for. Service was a touch slow, and I couldn't attribute it to any clear crowd or reason, but other than that a very solid experience! Don't let its location in a chain of shared spaces fool you, the vibe inside is unique and distinct to Sapporo. Goodplace to pop in if you want fresh, and relatively priced sushi!

Service was fast, friendly, food delicious. We ordered a 5 oz. Sake, shrimp goyoza, & 3 entrees for $55! The ambiance is so pretty. Definitely coming back!

We have made this our date night spot. Service and food is always so great! When I'm craving sushi or ramen this is the spot!

Visited Sapporo in San Antonio based on a high recommendation. Upon entering, encountered a notices insisting that groups of 5 or more must pay by one check and they reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.  Now in the overall scheme of life these are not big deals, but at the same time, both were a bit unwelcoming as the first things I notice entering your business.  As for the rationale on the one check rule, shared by a staff member, it's more convenient for the server during busy times.  PAUSEIsn't the point of owning an establishment to stay busy? In my recollection, there didn't appear to be many booths or tables accommodating five or more people. Even if there were, it shouldn't prevent servers from efficiently managing multiple tickets. Speaking from my past experience in the hospitality industry, handling separate tickets for a table of more than 5 was never an issue, no matter how busy it got.Entering the place, I was impressed with the décor ... would be a cool little date spot I thought, but then remembered it might not be a good idea to go as more than one couple, because you might be late for your movie having to figure out your separate checks and then having to venmo or zelle the one person who paid for everything in order to get their money back. But first you must figure out who is going to pay the whole bill.  Apologies for the digression. The menu offers a diverse selection, but surprisingly, there's no fried rice - just white steamed rice. Seemed to not offer in an Asian Fusion restaurant.  Especially considering fried rice's simplicity and assumed popularity, but not my kitchen.  Our group ordered various items, receiving mixed reviews. Standouts were the Seafood Ramen and Bibimbap bowl, both earning high praise, while other dishes fell in the range of 2 to 3 out of 5.I must commend Jackson for being a fantastic server--a genuinely kind soul. I'm grateful that our group only had one check, sparing Jackson from the hassle of sorting out individual orders and matching credit cards.Oh wait guys, I have to go ... the Zelle I just sent to the person who paid our bill didn't go through.  I need to check my bank and see what may have happened. I hope I didn't send it to the wrong person. If it did not go through, maybe I can use another app, like cashapp or venmo, oh wait, he doesn't have those.  Geez, now looks like I have to go to an ATM to get cash, does anyone know where an ATM is around here?  I can pay you later, you say, oh ok that's cool.  Just remind me....@ SAPPORO OWNERSHIP hear the message!?

Needed a quick and inexpensive sushi dinner and Sapporo came across my search. I was floored by these prices! I'm from the Houston area and there's more adorable options than San Antonio has. But Sapporo matched the prices that I'm more used to. I got the Geta 5 combo which was only $11 for 17 pieces. Everything very tasty! The guy at the counter was very nice and he made good conversation while I waited for my to go order which was made timely for a Friday night. Can't wait to come back and actually have dinner inside and try their other dishes.

I have been coming here since 2020 & it's definitely my favorite sushi spot! Service is always quick and orders are always correct when taking it to go! My favorite role is the monster roll, and the seaweed salad is top-notch! Cute spot for a quick date night!

I'll start with the ambiance, very colorful and inviting, they start you off with a miso soup and salad, the salad is just romaine but the salad dressing is what makes it, miso dressing...the food was on point with great flavors and the staff is super friendly, great date night place

One of the other reviewers here kind of nails it: "If you are a sushi snob or seek quality over quantity, this is not the place."Well, I'm not a sushi snob, but there is a grain of truth here. This is a perfectly acceptable place to grab lunch, the place is clean and the staff friendly enough. However, the rolls, the tempura, and even the soup's on the bland-but-filling side. Since when did tempura shrimp come rolled in a corn-dog batter? Weird. The reason for the 'fills you up' part of the restaurant is simply that they pad all the rolls out with a HUGE amount of rice. It's not bad per se but it kills the balance of flavors you're shooting for in sushi.Still, know what you're getting into when you come here and you'll be fine. This place scores a 3 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below.5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here.4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary.3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad.2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here.1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

If you're looking for a good sushi spot with great service this is the spot. 10/10 Recommend
