    I tried their Tokyo roll which I regrettably have to say was not good and I would recommend skipping - it's completely fried which I didn't realize, but the flavor inside is not very good either. My friends all loved this place though, so I trust it's good and would come back to try something different

    Super fresh and delicious Japanese food! The atmosphere is great, there's even a backyard, and the staff are so friendly. Perfect for dine-in or takeout -- highly recommend!

    Randomly strolling around Brooklyn on a cold day led my friends and I to Sapporo Ichiban. We were a group of around 6-7 and they seated us instantly. The service was good and fast. I ordered a ramen and it was delicious. Can't complain too much but also nothing super outstanding or groundbreaking.

    My monthly order from Sapporo Ichiban, at 622 Manhattan Avenue, Rick shrimp, Kani salads, Pork Katsu, California & spicy crab rolls,

    The food is delicious & filling , it came quickly and was packed good . I always order 4 Kani salads, they are so good.

    This place is UNBELIEVABLE!!! Once as a Greenpoint local I dined here 3 days per week, and now I drive here from Connecticut because I love their sushi so much. I have been a customer here since their opening day. Portions are very generous, sushi is top notch very fresh it melts in your mouth. I can keep typing my compliment but it would be better if you just stoped in, and you'll know what I'm talking about. Owner is always there to oversee and make sure that your experience is one that makes you come back,

    Got takeout for a nice dinner and food was just okay. Service was fast when I was waiting and the inside of the place looks great. A lot of people got sushi so maybe that's where I went wrong. Dont get me wrong, food was fine just nothing to rave about.

    I usually have lower expectations for vegetarian ramen, but this was quite delicious. The broth was flavorful and the toppings were nice and varied. The menma was especially good. Pleasantly surprised by the quantity as well. I added tofu for $2 thinking this wouldn't fill me up, but it ended up being totally unnecessary. I walked away from the meal stuffed. Also loved the pleasant ambience in the backyard patio. Can't speak to any of the sushi, but for vegetarian ramen I'd definitely recommend it.

    My lunch date and I were impressed how much food we got during the lunch special, it's a great deal and their variety was tasty. Very well decorated inside, cozy spot. The staff were quick and very attentive.

    Great service, cucumber lemon water, moist towelette, good variety of rolls. Awesome neighborhood spot! Haven't gotten the lunch special yet but it looks like a great value. Cute decor too! A date night staple for us.

    I ordered out from Sapporo Ichiban because I could not go out. Food came faster than I expected. I went to eat at the place long time ago and other than that I only got deliveries. About the quality of fishes, the price should be lower than this, but I understand the cost of living in Greenpoint, so I look over it. My order was..... - Shoyu Ramen: broth with braised pork belly, egg, shredded, wood-ear mushroom, bamboo shoots and fish cakes. 6/10 - Mixed Seafood Salad: Shrimp, Octopus, Squid, Kani with spring mix. 6/10 - Manhattan Roll: Spicy crunchy salmon roll, tuna, salmon and avocado on top. 6/10 - Tuna Jalapeno Roll: Small 8 pcs 8/10 - Bonzai Tree: Crab avocado, caviar, ebi wrapped with cucumber. 7/10 The score I gave are quality/price/and taste. I can say if you want to eat take out quality sushi in a budget, Sapporo will be another choice that isn't too bad.

    I've been to Sapporo Ichiban a few times and have consistently had a solid experience. The sushi is fresh and the rice is the right consistency, temperature, and flavor (sometimes the nigiri pieces have a bit too much rice for my preference, but it's generally fine). The servers are friendly and attentive, and the ambiance is cute and relaxed. I also appreciate the unlimited house sake that they serve if you meet the minimum per person charge, which I believe is $15. Definitely an added bonus!

    I came here tonight after a networking event with 3 other people I just met at the event. We waited 49 minutes for all 4 people to get their food. We were desperately hungry by that point. Our event didn't serve food. We were here from 830 to at least 1040PM. Customers might want to clarify what "Free" sake means because each person spent over $20 at my table and it was only $15 to get free hot sake and we got none. 2.0 star food Fish that's not very fresh Ramen that's not very flavorful except the chili flakes Rice that's hard Salmon skin in salmon skin roll that's so burnt that it actually tastes bitter Pro: there was some potential especially with the varied (some might say overwhelming) menu 2.5 star price $4.95 to $6.95 for a hand roll is reasonable IF only they got my order correct $25.99 for a sashimi sample is also reasonable IF only the fish was fresh and didn't take 44 minutes to be given to us 1 star cleanliness Our table wasn't clean when we sat down Water glasses seem mucky The women's bathroom toilet leaks so the floor is wet with some unknown liquid and I was wearing a maxi dress. I judge cleanliness according to how likely I would use the restroom. 0 star service We waited 49 minutes for our food. 40 minutes after waiting, the ramen came out. 44 minutes after waiting, the sashimi came out. 49 minutes after waiting, my friend's cut rolls came out. 49 minutes after waiting, I got 4 cut rolls when I actually ordered 4 rolls. WORSE part: the server argued that I never said hand rolls when my table heard that I said it 2x. I was so hungry, I simply said "I will eat what I have." We served ourselves our own water (carafe dropped) and I cleaned my own spot at the table, so we tried our best to alleviate what is considered a "busy" Tuesday night. Dinner rush is over by 830PM and people who sat down after us got their food first--which makes this situation more frustrating.

    It was just ok, bc noodles were not too tasty tasted like too much egg. Bamboo shoots were canned tasting, but the broths was good. Sushi was just were ok too, not too much flavor in the sushi rice. Sodas were actually really good. Bathroom was a box, 3/5 experience.

    Lovely lovely lovely ramen. Very unique and different taste from the bone broth. The broth is what…read moremakes it imo. The meat is just absolutely perfect...melt in your mouth, moderately seasoned and delicate enough to put it all together with the noodles. The establishment is a bit smaller so it is recommended to get a reservation beforehand. But walkins are also welcomed I suppose. They have a high top area that is nice for having a front row seat to the action in the kitchen. Th music is good but random haha. Service was good the first time. But could've been better my second visit.

    Had dinner at Za-Ya in Brooklyn and tried the Gyukotsu Miso Ramen ($19), Saba ($12), Saikoro Steak…read more($14), and the Cucumber starter ($8). The ramen was everything you want in a bowl -- a hearty, beef bone marrow broth with layers of flavor, bouncy chewy noodles, and an egg cooked perfectly. The short rib inside was extremely tender, and the toppings of fried garlic, green onions, and wood ear mushrooms added even more depth. The saba (miso-braised mackerel) was another highlight: extremely tender and moist, probably the best-prepared mackerel I've had, with a miso sauce that complemented it perfectly. The saikoro steak came as chunky, tender bites with a soy-vinegar garlic sauce that tied it all together beautifully. And the cucumber starter was cold, refreshing, and carried a nice spicy kick. Za-Ya nails Japanese comfort food with care and balance. The ramen and saba alone are worth the trip, and the sides round out a very satisfying meal.
