Passing through Kentucky on business. Did not want another burger or beef and Bourbon. Sushi was an alternate source of food. Short travel from hotel. A pretty small restaurant with table dining and Hibachi group dining. A cute water feature with domesticated fish swimming around looking to be petted. A good variety of sushi offerings as well as other Thai foods. I selected a small Clear soup with mushrooms and onion. For entree's I had Spicy Steamed Lobster Roll and Deep Sea Roll. The sushi was tasty but not up to the spicy level I seek. Service was attentive and little waiting. read more

I eat at this place 1-3 times a week. There is one particular server that is fantastic. He knows me, always offering the usual stuff I order. Today, I had to get my lunch to go. My regular guy was not there. My roll was wrong, my extra ginger was missing and my soy sauce was basically non existent. Great food, but its sad when you only feel confident with one person. Don't go there on Thursdays. The staff seems put out and not interested in maintaining my business. read more

Pretty good service & food was okay. Nothing fancy but we liked their pond in the middle. They had it decorated for Christmas with lights. read more

Came for hibachi for my birthday. Everything was on point! Service was impeccable and food was delicious. We loved the hibachi chef's personality and the show he put on. The meal prices are sort of expensive, but there are such ample portions you can eat your leftovers for a full meal the next day, and that helps the price even out. There is a really large water feature with a tree and huge koi in the middle of the restaurant- the kids loved it! We will definitely come again. read more

Food is amazing and you will have enough for the next day. Chefs are great and fun! Please pay attention to the bill they have started adding gratuity in no matter the size of group. When i asked about it. They was like oh our mistake! Understandable, but it was their mistake the last couple times i went. I didn't catch the first time till i got home and realized i double tipped! read more

This is one of my go to places in Georgetown! Staff is always friendly and the food is always hot and comes out quickly. Silverware is also always clean and I've never had a bad experience eating here. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for hibachi or sushi in Georgetown! read more

Owned by the Buffet in town, this place is just as uninviting, kitschy and gross. The sushi is subpar. The place itself feels grimy.

Love the sushi. It's always good and they have tons of options. Our kids love the fish and sometimes they even let them feed them. 10/10

I eat here often and loved the place. I went recently with my family and so totally disappointed. I got lobster and filet steak ad my daughter got filet on the grill. we both got lots of rice, I got maybe half cup of vegetables that was not cooked very well with mostly onions. We also only got MAYBE half cup of steak. There was no seasoning put on anything but rice. I also got lobster which was so overcooked I couldn't eat. Now there was 8 of us, two didn't get any vegetables but they also complained to me about portion size of the salmon that was given. I left still hungry and I have never felt that way after eating there. I don't know what is happening there but I paid a lot of money for eight people to eat and did not come close to getting my moneys worth. read more

All the food tastes great! Service is good too. Could update interior a bit but all in all clean and welcoming.

Love coming here for sushi lunch or hibachi dinner. They always go above and beyond to ensure everyone is taken care of. Sushi is top notch and made to order. read more

I ordered take out. Play ball, kicking, speciality tuna roll. They are all super fresh rolls and taste delicious. I was pleasantly surprised how good these rolls tasted and fresh. Flavor was on point. I would definitely recommend this place and I will definitely be coming back with my family! read more

Great Japanese cuisine in Georgetown! I ordered chicken teriyaki which came with miso soup, salad, and white rice. Portions were very large and I had plenty to take home to eat for lunch the next day. Make sure to ask for the delicious yum yum sauce to add to your entree. This place doesn't have much atmosphere (yes it does feel like you are eating someplace in a Walmart shopping center), but the food and service definitely makes this place worth a try. read more

Sapporo - Chicken teriyaki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Georgetown, Kentucky

At first glance, this restaurant may look like a hole in the wall place! We went in with open arms hoping to find a gem, and sure enough we fell in love with the place almost immediately! The restaurant's aesthetics are exotic yet a very classy feel, very clean and well sanitized! The service was spot on, as our server was patient and made us feel like we had everything we needed. Our server gave us a recommendation of the Grab Rangoon Roll which wasn't on the menu, and was well worth the try. We had 3 Sushi rolls: The Crab Rangoon Roll, Spring Roll, and Spicy Crab Roll, as well as Sashimi (Tuna), we also had their Yum Yum & Spicy Mayo sauce! The entire meal was fantastic, and well presented! Great Job, Sapporo! We will be back again! read more

This is a hidden treasure in Georgetown. Location isn't easily accessible in the back of the WalMart complex. But the atmosphere is great. They have a bar, a sushi bar, table seating, or hibachi. Service has been excellent and very friendly each time I've been (3x). Parking is convenient. Menu has lots of options. Food is delicious Japanese cuisine and portions are large. Be sure to try the Yum Yum sauce. Amazing. This place is a worthwhile dinner out. Georgetown needs more variety like Sapporo! read more

Excellent Japanese food. They cook the food in front of you and also entertain you while they do it. The food is steak and chicken. Rice and veggies included. You sit around a large grill with strangers or you can sit at a table for a more personal touch. Highly recommend the yum yum sauce! Yummy Also, you get a soup and salad with your entree. read more

My husband and I love sushi and were so excited to try Sapporo, despite the mixed reviews we'd heard from friends and family. We were greeted and seated promptly. We were excited about the inexpensive lunch sushi prices. I ordered 2 rolls and my husband ordered a sashimi lunch. The shumai, salad, and soup were good. The sushi and sashimi were terrible. We aren't sushi experts, but do eat it regularly. This was legitimately the worst sushi we've ever experienced. There was little to no flavor, and what flavor was there was bad. After receiving our sushi, no one ever came back to check on us, other than giving us our check. We will not be returning. It's unfortunate because we had such high hopes! read more

Visiting from out of town and stumbled on this cute little place. Staff were friendly and efficient, especially our Hibachi chef, who put on quite a show for our 8 yr old. Food was good and plentiful. The only downside is they couldn't make a dirty martini because they had no olive juice. Still, worth checking out. read more

Love this hibachi grill. Food is always fast and the showmanship is great. Portion sizes are huge and the price is lower than many hibachi places around us. read more

This restaurant is my favorite!! They give you large portions of high-quality, delicious food for a good price along with quick service. Often, we have to ask for a to-go box when we eat there. The staff are always super friendly that leads to a desirable atmosphere when dining. Restaurant is always very clean. read more

Amazing food and stellar service. My entire family loves going here. Very friendly staff. Very welcoming.

This is mine and my husbands fav spot in Georgetown!! We have taken quite a few coworkers family and friends here. It's a nice little treat. The food is so good and sushi is so fresh and yummy. The plates are always different and beautiful and the staff is A+. read more

It's Hibachi! You can sit and order sushi or Asian cuisine or you can sit and watch the same show as every other place. Its great food and huge portions. If you are looking for a fancy sushi place with the latest prickly pear beverage in a Buddha glass, this isn't it. But.. if you are cold and sad and want to fill that void with rice, chicken, steak, and veggies with yum yum sauce then this is your place! read more

Sapporo - Sushi lunch special. Very good - Sushi Bars Near Me - Georgetown, Kentucky

One of my favorite restaurants in town. The food is good, and the prices are decent for the style of restaurant it is. The sushi is very well done if you're someone who likes that sort of stuff. The wait staff is very friendly and professional, helping me figure out what best to order (I'm very indecisive when ordering food at nice restaurants.) and offering just the right amount of conversation to where it feels welcome and personable but not to where someone like me who is very quiet would feel uncomfortable. My only real complaint is that the dressing on the salad was very lacking in flavor and seemed to me as a watered down version of what's normally used at hibachi restaurants. Overall enjoyable experience though. read more

Great service, good selection, very good food & portion sizes. Very good standard Japanese steakhouse. We did not do hibachi but had sushi & tempura appetizer. Both were very good. I wasn't fond of the ginger salad dressing as it was mayonnaise based instead of vinegar based. But it wasn't horrible. I would definitely come back here again. read more

I can't vouch for the hibachi bc I've never had it. I always get sushi. I'm a huge fan of sashimi and Naruto roll. I've ordered them on numerous occasions. Always delicious. Prices are more like nyc prices though. read more

Well this was a surprise! I was told that there was no decent sushi to be found in the Lexington area and here we are...damn decent sushi for a really reasonable price! We found this place totally by mistake. After a day with some out of town friends who were showing at the horse park we headed back towards their hotel to look for a Ruby Tuesdays.....and of course they got lost. So we ended up at this random steakhouse. So okay we figured we'd try it. We just got sushi bar service instead of hibachi and damn....goooood freakin sushi. Now it wasn't LA/NYC/Vegas/whateverotherfancypantscity quality, but it was pretty close. And average 3-5 bucks for rolls...pretty damn cheap. Service was efficient and good. If you have lost all hope for good sushi around Lexington and haven't hit this spot yet, check it out :) read more

I got the salmon bento box. It was over cooked and in a super salty sauce. Everything it came with was underwhelming. Would not recommend.

Sapporo has been one of our favorite places to eat since it opened in Georgetown. We've usually gone several times a year, for lunch and dinner on various days and times of the week. I've been noticing little things over the last couple of years to indicate this place was sliding. Restroom often unkempt. Service lacking. The chef interaction was hit or miss. Food quality also hit or miss. Portions went down, and were not always consistent, but prices went up. Last night was the nail in the coffin for me. We went as a party of 6, and stood waiting to be seated without acknowledgment of our presence by any staff members for about 7 minutes, altho it was not very busy. I used this chance to go ahead and use the ladies' room. The women's restroom was atrocious! There was an overpowering smell of urine, two stalls were 'out of order', and the trashcan was overflowing. The only stall available had the latch completely missing, and there was nowhere to hang my purse. I had to juggle my purse, at one point having to hold it in my mouth by the straps, to avoid putting it on the nasty floor. Honestly, even in the seediest of gas station bathrooms have a I never encountered the stale stench that I did this night in Sapporo's bathroom. The toilet paper was near empty. The soap dispenser was broken. Toilet brush was lying underneath the sink on the floor. It was clear this bathroom had not been attended to in some time. When I emerged from the restroom and joined my group still waiting for acknowledgement, I looked around and noticed at least 2 staff members staring at their phones. Finally, we were seated. The girl serving us was nice enough, but rather inattentive. She took awhile to bring things out, would disappear throughout the meal with our cups to refill and take her precious time bringing it back. The salad dressing has changed. It tasted....watered down? I was not impressed much. The hibachi chef was good, and interactive. He did a pretty good job, and the food tasted good. It was hard for me to enjoy, because I was constantly wondering about the sanitary conditions of the restaurant in general, given the horrid state of the restroom. The server girl was done with us after she brought the bill. It was as if we didn't exist any longer, except t collect the bill. No more refills or checking on us, altho we were still eating and several of us had empty glasses. Over the last couple of years, as this kind of stuff was noticed by me, I would write it off as maybe they had a super busy day, or we were in on an odd day of being short staffed. I can not say that any longer. This place has certainly changed, and not for the better. I will not go back to Sapporo in Georgetown again. If I want Hibachi, I will got to Lexington, or wait until I am visiting family in Louisville. This is such a shame, too, because this restaurant used to be really good. read more

We met friends for dinner tonight at Sapporo in Georgetown. We were seated right away, and our hibachi chef Johnny came to the table. He was very personable, had a great sense of humor, and his performance at the grill was fabulous. My husband and I shared an entree, which was an up charge, and well worth it. There was no way we would have been able to eat all of that food. We started with an appetizer , which was delicious. We each received a salad and soup as part of our meal, along with fried rice, vegetables and we chose shrimp& scallops as our protein to share. Everything tasted wonderful, & we will definitely go back there soon. I highly recommend Johnny. read more

We visited before going to the local theater in the area. My boyfriend had been before and spoke highly of it. I've been to a few Japanese/sushi places in Lexington and have unfortunately been underwhelmed so I wasn't getting my hopes up. We sat at the hibachi table since he wanted hibachi food and I ordered sushi. The entertainment was very similar to other hibachi style restaurants I've been to. My only complaint is my sushi came out not long after "the show" started so I was already finished eating before my boyfriend even started his. He let me sample some of his food. I'm fairly indifferent to plates of rice but the meat had a nice flavor. Not to mention the orange sauce (I forget the name) you can use to dip your food in. Our waitress was friendly and very keen to refill our drinks so that made me very happy. So I'd go back... read more

The food is great here!! The service is okay. Everyone on staff is great and does the best they can to serve you, but the restaurant does not have enough people on staff. Every time I have come here I have had to wait a long time for my food after being seated. All the tables are currently full and there is one man that is serving everyone! Other that I love this place and will continue coming here. Lunch is great. You can get two rolls of sushi, soup and salad for about 8 bucks!! read more

Sapporo - Soup and salad - Sushi Bars Near Me - Georgetown, Kentucky

This used to be one of the places that we liked to go every time we visited Georgetown. But lately this place hasn't filled our expectations. We have had the same cook this past couple of times, and he has not been friendly at all. A dry greeting, and no show. No onion with the volcano, not tricks when preparing the eggs, no one catching the food in the mouth. He just shows up, cooks, messes the orders, and this time he had both griddles going on, cooking for both tables at the same time, just he end up burning some of the food. The location is great, but we have not been impressed as of late. The first time we thought he was just having an off day, but it looks like it's not the case. We will just have to look somewhere else to go, I think our trips there have come to an end. read more

Attentive service. Very nice staff. Food is good. You get exactly what you would expect at a Hibachi. One of the best dining experiences in Georgetown. Birthday are sufficiently embarrassing so bring some friends. Try the Goyza (pork dumplings) app. Kids night are good if your child has a small appetite. read more

Absolsutely filthy restaurant. Old crusty food particles clinging to the sides of the walls. The food is very low quality and not well flavored. I cannot believe that there is not a better Japanese restaurant in Georgetown given that Toyota is right around the corner. This is to Japanese food what Chi Chi's (remember them?) was to Mexican. read more

I've been eating here since 2010 back when I worked at Sun Tan City and it has never disappointed me, not once! You cannot beat the lunch menu and it's prices. Less than $10 for hibachi for lunch (I always get chicken). The sushi is amazing, there's been several nights coming home late from work that I'll preorder a couple rolls (spicy crabmeat and California are my favorites from here). The owners are incredibly nice and the service is great. read more
