Sushi Love Boat
Kathy S.

Food was excellent and service was amazing!! Came in with a larger party and was seated right away. Our waiter was amazing

The best sushi in the local area I drive from Stillwater because it's just so good!! Ichiban & case of fire roll Both have a little kick to it with some spice, but the flavor is really good !! Definitely worth the price and the quality and freshness is on point

Starting things off with some hot green tea...

Review update - still 4 stars! Where does the time go? It's been 4 years since I drove to Hudson and met my friend at Sapporo. Those were pandemic days. My Wisconsin friend and I met once a week to visit all of the restaurants in Hudson! It took one year. At the time, we were irritated that Sapporo was one of only 2 Hudson food places (out of over 50) that refused to let customers indoors. (The other restaurant was Dragon Pearl.) But the food was good. I'm over it now and we gave them another chance. (And this time, we got to see the inside of the building!) First of all, the restaurant itself is very beautiful, modern looking, and clean. The service was good...prompt, polite, and attentive. The prices seem reasonable too and in-line with similar places. Our food was very good. My friend got a stir fry and I ordered 3 styles of tuna based sushi rolls. My rolls were fresh and bursting with flavor. LOW CARBOHYDRATE: It was easy to eat low-carb, keto-style at Sapporo. I simply stuck with my usual tuna sushi rolls. These are fairly low-carb with a minimal amount of rice and a little bit of sea weed wrap. I avoid anything deep fried in gross vegetable seed oils or anything with added sugar. I also avoid large portions of rice and noodles. My blood sugar definitely likes it that way. So I can enjoy my favorite flavors without giant glucose spikes. Nice! Same as 4 years ago, the food was great. Added bonus, I can now enjoy indoor seating! I'd go back again any time. Thank you, Sapporo! -Maxx

Their food is very good, compared to other Japanese restaurants in the USA. They also do a good job worth their sushi. They always put the chopsticks into the napkin upside down: ie. The writing on the chopsticks is upside down. Looks so weird. We lived in Japan and visit often, so we are pickier than average customer. Oh yeah- Their tap beer is usually fresh and good too.

Crazy Friday roll and royal pink roll
Mariah C.

Who would have thought that one of the best Japanese restaurants I've ever been to is in Hudson Wisconsin?! I came to the area on a work trip. My six coworkers and I, all came in starving after a long day of travel on a Friday night, were blown away with the amazing service from Eva! I was so hungry I didn't take a picture of the chicken hibachi dinner the first night we went, but it was so flavorful! I couldn't finish it all, but trust me I wanted to. We loved the food and service so much, we came back the following day. The second night I got two rolls pictured here, the Royal pink roll and the crazy Friday. So good! The sake martini was refreshing and paired perfectly with my sushi. Myself and my coworkers, definitely recommend this place and protip: ask to be in Eva's section! We are a little sad that this amazing restaurant isn't available to us at anytime back home in CA. We loved it here!

From top to bottom: Hawaii roll, Out of Control roll, #9 roll

Favorite sushi place! Great selection of specialty rolls. Was pleasantly surprised with a warm wet towel to clean your hands when seated.

Angry dragon sushi roll
Katelyn A.

My favorite spot for great service and incredible food. Whenever my family's in town, we go to Sapporo. The restaurant can be crowded at times, but the dim lights and comfortable seating makes any table feel intimate. I've been a dedicated Angry Dragon roll girl for many years (I love the combination of creamy and crunchy), but I recently tried the BMW roll and I may need to switch my allegiance. If you've never had eel sauce, I'd say give it a try! It's salty, rather than fishy, and brings a deep umami flavor that makes each bite feel like a savory hug. There's not a single bad item on the menu, and I can guarantee there's something there for everyone.

Teriyaki Cuisine opened about 6 or so months ago in Hudson and it is located about a mile from my…read morehouse so my wife and I thought we would give it a try. I guess it is a bad sign when you go into a restaurant at dinner time and only one other table has people at it and we soon found out why. We ordered 3 appetizers, 1 order of egg rolls and 1 order each of two different types of buffalo wings. The buffalo wings were supposed to be 8 count orders. We also each ordered an entree. The egg rolls arrived after about 10 minutes and were relatively bland. What was supposed to be beef egg rolls seemed to have no beef. Taste wise, they were just ok. When our first order of "wings" arrived, we received a plate with four drumsticks on it. We were perplexed as to why we got four drumsticks versus the eight wings we ordered. Suffice it to say, no one came to our table (by this time, the other table was leaving so we were the only customers left) so I took the drumsticks up and asked what was going on with this substitute that we didn't request. We were advised that they didn't have the wings so we were going to get the four drumsticks for the price of eight wings. The drumsticks were very small for drumsticks and quite frankly are dark meat versus white meat. Also we planned on dividing up the chicken wings and for us to split these up, we would need to split eating the drumsticks (2 people eating on 1 drumstick). That didn't work for us. We asked for a manager to which we were told that there was none on duty. We explained that they could not just make substitutions to our order without asking us to which the cook threw a fit and told us to leave, which we gladly did. All in all, this has got to be the most bizarre restaurant experience I have had in my life. I only wish the owner knew what their employees were doing when they were away. I will never go back and based on my experience, they get a huge thumbs down.

Ordered 4 rolls and each were delicious not to mention beautifully presented. Iwa house special roll - plentiful and delicious. Hot mama - loved the soy paper. Very good but not spicy. I remedied that with wasabi. Tuna lovers - disappeared quickly Happy family - large roll and was (almost) too pretty to eat. We left bellies full and happy with our dinner choice. Rolls average $15-18/roll but you can taste the quality. Likely our new favorite sushi spot in MN!

Parking is available in the attached lot. The interior was clean and organized, although fairly generic. Our server was attentive and kept everything accurate and enjoyable during our stay. The happy hour menu was quite extensive and great value, as we got two apps and five basic rolls for under $50. I appreciated that they had basic and specialty rolls on discount during the HH. The cream cheese wontons were light and crispy. The Philly, Spicy Tuna, and California were solid...tasted great but nothing spectacular. I did appreciate that they came on decorative plates and presentation. Overall, this spot has a great happy hour menu and the quality is pretty solid. I don't know that this spot will win "our favorite" but it's definitely worth a visit if you are close by and interested in some sushi!

I had ordered takeout though and sadly it just didn't give me the same flavors or satisfaction as I would get from eating it in person. Service was fast though because I ordered it online and was able to pick up in like 10 minutes. Clean and spacious waiting area. Portion for the price was good too. Will just have to come back for in person beef fried rice.

We arrived right at noon when the restaurant opened. We were greeted with a quick "how many?" and then led to our table without much else. Menus were handed out, and the hostess turned and walked away. A waitress came by shortly after, asked for our drink and food orders, jotted them down, and left. That pretty much summed up the service... very minimal interaction, just business. Staff mostly just ask what you want and write it down. On the plus side, the food was good and fresh. The all-you-can-eat menu had a solid variety, and everything came out fairly quick and as ordered. I also appreciate that the menu offers more than just sushi -- there are options for people who don't eat much (or any) sushi, which is great when dining with a larger group. Price-wise, I personally feel it's a bit high, especially considering the lack of ambiance or customer service. You're not here for a "dining experience" -- you're here to eat, and that's about it. If you're okay with a straightforward, basic spot where the food is decent and the service is minimal, Akita still gets the job done especially if you're with a group and just want to enjoy sushi together.
