We went there for a Birthday party a group of 9 they set us immediately. The servers were on top of things. The cook was fantastic and very entertaining. The food was delicious everyone loved what they got. The only complaint I had and it's not their fault is their sewer was backing up in their bathrooms so you could not use either bathroom while we were there which really sucked. That's the only reason I gave them a four star instead of a five. read more

The food was really good and the chef was funny and made it way more fun. The steak and rice were good and the portions were pretty big. Definitely would go back again. The service was great. read more

I RETURNED with my GF for a sushi lunch yesterday and did the buy 2 specialty rolls, get 1 classic roll FREE. We chose the NEW Lobster Delight Roll ($15) and the Royal Roll ($15) for our specialty rolls and the Alaskan roll ($7 now FREE) for our classic roll. Service is ALWAYS polite, attentive and courteous. The Itamae even pumped the presentation up a notch with a little swan and tree decoration. Each roll was a DELIGHTFUL BITE of sushi roll goodness and we really enjoyed a WONDERFUL, casual lunch. We chose these 2 rolls because we like the CRUNCHY toppings. YUMMY! Total for this sushi feast for 2 was ~$32 after discount and tax. REASONABLE! read more

It's smaller than I expected and it was very busy and backed up. I felt bad for the hostess she was trying but they were short staffed. We had reservations at 5:30 and we were not seated until 6 and then we waited another hour and a half before the chef came to our table. It wasn't anything special or better than Benihana. The hibachi show was funny but you can tell the three chefs were overworked at least that day. read more

Beware they put gratuity onto your bill whether you sit at hibachi table or small table in the back room! I have been fleeced here once before for an extra 40 in cash on a tip bc I didn't know they added a tip at all. We were a party of 4 that time. I called after I got home bc I thought they over charged me only to find out they added a tip at hibachi table BUT not the room with single tables and they bring you your food! Well tonight they did it again adding on a $16.28 gratuity charge for a 2 person table in the back where they bring your food to to rather than cooking it in front of you! Had I not seen the amount we would have included a tip again!! They like to double dip so be careful!!!! read more

Took my son here to celebrate his accomplishments and was not disappointed. It's very easy to make reservations online or over the phone. I ordered two sushi rolls, adult beverage as well as chicken, steak hibachi. I had so much food I took home plenty so I'd say portions are very generous! The cook was friendly and entertaining. Will definitely come back! read more

This has been my go to for chicken fried rice for years. I noticed last time I ordered that they gave me a container half the size of what I usually get but charged the same price so I opted to go inside this time and eat at bar. Talked to the bartender about it and his answer wasn't that satisfactory but whatever. The bar was soaking wet so I had to scoot over to where it wasn't. I got a side of chicken fried rice and a lychee martini. I wanted the white lotus martini but they were out of coconut milk. I remembered once I received it that I don't really care for their lychee martinis because they have a weird chemical taste like the lychee or juice is off. The price wasn't bad though at $10. read more

Don't come here unless you want your night ruined. We had a reservation for 7 and we're not actually sat until 7:40 and every time we'd ask about our table they kept saying they were just cleaning it. When we were FINALLY sat the table wasn't even clean and we didn't even see a server or chef until 8:10. I asked the manager if we'd get some kind of compensation for this ridiculousnous, he said MAYBE. Absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. Then when we got the bill after chasing someone down to get it, it didn't even have the discount. And when I asked for it, it was only like 10%. Then when we got back home everyone instantly ran for the bathroom fighting for their lives from the food. I don't think my bathroom will recover. Night ruined. Worst restaurant, and never returning. read more

Mother's Day dinner was interactive and flavorful dining experience. I enjoyed the show and salmon/shrimp dinner.

went for a wedding party that had a reservation for 5:30. didn't get seated until almost 7. the staff triple booked the tables. then it took almost another hour just to get our food. the waitress had an attitude like it was our fault we were sat so late. honestly the only good part was the hibachi grill man. will never return. read more

Fun hibachi restaurant. Food is good and seating is usually quick. They gave my son and daughter special hats when we went for birthdays. The servers and cooks were pleasant and friendly. read more

Good Sushi. The bar tenders are hit or miss with drink orders. You have to remember your orders unless you keep a pen and paper on you, or you note it in your phone. Still our go to. read more

The service was horrible. We had a reservation and still had to wait 30 min to be seated for my daughter's birthday. Once seated it took another 30 min to take a drink order. My daughters drink did not come for one hour. They kept taking tables in but had no help to serve everybody. I understand being short staffed, it happens these days, but quit taking customers in. To spend 175.00 on a meal for four people and have this service is a disgrace. Very messy place for what they are charging. Food is ok... but not worth it. It wont last much longer with the service they are providing. Will not return. read more

The food was OK, nothing special. But the service was super bad, for places I have been this was a new low. I dont base this off of my experience, I base this off of the looks at the others and myself who spent around 1-2 hours waiting for service. The prices for food is a bit above average. This place is understaffed for such a busy day. read more

Very disappointed with the service. Place was busy but seemed to be understaffed. Got charged for a soup and salad because someone in my group was sharing. They didn't mentioned to us about the charge for it. It was on the menu but no one mentioned it. When the helper was handing out dishes he handed a hot plate to one of the members of my group. He placed the plate on the hot grill and didn't think it would be hot. The food was decent enough. read more

Oh no. Our experience was horrible. We started out with the pork gyoza, which were meh, and it got progressively worse Next was the volcano roll. They left out some of the rolls ingredients. Instead of tempura shrimp, Avocado, and spicy tuna, we got only tempura shrimp and spicy tuna. For the entre, I ordered seared ahi tuna. It was horrible. They threw a handful of sesame seads on top and drowned it in a cup of some awful teriyaki sauce. It was swimming in the sauce. I sent it back. read more

Food is great- service terrible. Waitress was just a dumb human. Buddy ordered just chicken and steak due to allergies. They cooked his in the back. Did not come out to match our meal time so we could all eat together as requested. When they brought it out finally it had rice and vegetables and shrimp with it. We complained and waitress said they will re make it. 15 min later they brought a plate back out with just the meat but had rice and pieces of broccoli in it and soy sauce on the meat. It was obvious they did not remake it. My buddy ate it and started swelling up. Waitress argued they re made it and did not just separate the food. I told her she was wrong. She said she was new. She was awful. The manager wanted to charge 4% for credit card. I told her I won't pay 4% for cc. 3% is the max. 4% outrageous. She took money off and said to go buy my friend a Benadryl. The shame is the food is great. They are just a shit show there. read more

Best hibachi in the area! Don't skip over this hidden gem. We go here for every birthday with our kids and we will continue to do so! The staff is incredibly sweet and accommodating and the food is DELICIOUS. The portions are huge. We always walk out with at least two full boxes of leftovers. Our chef was hilarious and kind. He did some magic tricks that blew my kids minds! We love coming here. We will be back in October for my son's birthday for sure!! Thanks for an amazing experience, Sapporo!! read more

The filet tasted bad while eating and the teriyaki must have been a new flavor as it was too sweet. I got sick the next day and husband ate leftovers next day and was sick that night. Won't be going back anytime soon. We were very disappointed as we use to love going there even thought it's over an hour drive for us. read more

The food and customer service is awesome! The takeout is awesome not a long wait for your food.

So let's start off with the positive. Staff was friendly and the place was overall pretty clean. The chef was awesome at cooking and entertaining us. Very talented. Now let's get to why I was not really impressed with this place. Parking is BEHIND the restaurant in a dark lot full of train cargo. Was not comfortable with that at all. Looks suspect. Then after the great chef performance, I'm looking at my food and it looks delicious! I take my first couple spoonfuls and the flavor was not as impactful as I expected it to be. Idk if it wasn't enough seasoning or teriyaki sauce or what. I just know it looked better than what it tasted like. I've been to my fair share of hibachi grills and one of the most flavorful ones I've been to in the local area was benihanas in Dearborn. I've been a repeat customer of theirs for a few years. I think I'll stick to the place I know will meet my flavor palate. read more

Came in a Wednesday and they had no ac. We absolutely died but the staff was still super friendly. The chef made our food delicious and put on a great show even though we were all so hot. I will say I have found other Japanese steak to be a little better tasting. read more

This was me and my husbands first time trying this place! The soup and salad you get with your entrees was VERY good! My husband ordered the XO steak, which was also very good. I ordered the udon, which honestly, wasn't the greatest. It wasn't awful by any means, just lack luster. The service was nice and prompt in the beginning but I think our waitress forgot about us towards the end, however it was a Saturday night and they were busy, so I totally understand. The ambiance was good. read more

Sapporo - Nabeyaki Udon Dinner - Sushi Bars Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

Went here for a late dinner with my coworker while in town for work. We arrived at 8:16. The hostess asked if we were picking up food. We said no we're dinning in. She then replied we stop seating at 8pm. I responded the hours on the door and online EVERYWHERE indicate they close at 10pm. She said those are pre COVID hours. However the new hours are not posted anywhere for anyone to know this. Thankfully I don't live here otherwise I would've pushed back a bit more. I WOULD NOT recommend this place considering they don't even know what time they close. I posted the door hours as a reference. Again nothing there says they close or stop seating after 8pm. read more

My daughter hosted her 19th birthday of 25 friends at your establishment. Unfortunately she and her guests had a horrible experience. She made reservations weeks ago for 6pm. They were not seated until after 7pm. (The whole party was present on time). The waiter was rude and asked them "what they want?" The waiter did not bring out drinks or anything. The chef did not "entertain" , he just simply cooked the food with no type of interaction. My daughter did not receive any special bday shoutout or anything ! I am highly dissatisfied that her first experience dining alone with friends. These are college students who spent their hard earned money at your place of business. To have automated gratuity of 20%, it's a shame that you would provide this type of service. In addition, the food was not good. Also your waiters served alcohol to minors. Get it together ! I'd like to talk to the owner immediately. read more

A few things to consider before dining here. The location is not bad. Just a few minutes off of the highway. Nestled on the business side of the street and residential on the other. Parking is located in the back of the restaurant. This particular location sits on the side, making this a small but quaint Hibachi restaurant. The overall restaurant houses 5 hibachi stations and a separate room for sushi. The staff was very accommodating, even after the fact I told them I had a Gluten allergy. They happily prepared my food in the back which is normal for me. I ordered the Chicken and Shrimp hibachi along with a California Roll. The waitress was so kind as to bring me Gluten-Free Soy Sauce and extra Yum-Yum sauce. The food was good. It had a lot of pepper in it which I'm not particularly used to but, I liked the dish. The California Roll was delish too! The ONLY thing I did not like was the fact that each bill automatically incurs a 20% gratuity for COVID cleaning purposes. In my opinion, I think that's a bit ridiculous to charge customers 20% gratuity. The atmosphere was not inviting and for a hibachi restaurant with HOT food being cooked at all times, the restaurant itself is COLD. Overall, 3 stars for me only because I really liked the wait staff and I had a great time chatting with my friends. I would probably not come back just because I don't like being pressured to pay a mandated amount of gratuity, and the restaurant was COLD which made it a bit uncomfortable to eat. read more

My experience went a little different from most reviews. We went here for a birthday party they were able to accommodate us for 16 guest. The atmosphere is very open and restaurant doesn't seem as chaotic as most hibachi restaurants I've visit in the past. The show was pretty good. I would agree with the other reviews and say that the food could use a little more flavor but I was able to boost up the flavor with yum yum sauce and soy sauce. I would recommend this restaurant if your looking for a good night out with friends or your significant other. read more

Very fun experience! Our chef was Tony and he kept us entertained and made my 6 year old laugh a lot. The food was very good. I had steak and shrimp and the steak was very tender. We got the kids shrimp meal for my kid, and it was a very generous portion. We will definitely be back! read more

Went here July 1st in the afternoon. The waiter, he was very nice and polite and tried his best, everything else was poorly executed and caused an unfavorable experience. The hostess whom assigned us to a seating area, she brought us the lunch menus. We placed our orders with the waiter and a few minutes later as I made my way to the restroom I was informed they are no longer serving off the lunch menu, well why did you bring us the lunch menu to begin with ?? We Ordered dinner which is more expensive but okay, my son ordered some type of fried rice dish served in a pineapple cut in half. He wasn't eating it and I asked why and he showed me mold on the bottom end of the pineapple. I Showed it to the waiter which took it to the hostess and a chef / manager, and they removed the cost off the bill. Also gave us a discount which was the right thing to do. I ordered the Sapporo extreme for two, for myself and a lady whom was my lunch date, a $61 meal itself, the filet mignon was overcooked and tough to chew, along with the lobster. My son ordered the Pineapple Seafood Fried Rice, and we ordered 3 sushi rolls. The shushing rolls were delicious, the rest of the food was a let down at it's price point, if it were half the price I'd say it was acceptable minus the dish served in a moldy pineapple - that should of never happened, makes me wonder what else they overlook in the kitchen area ! For special occasions I will stick with Benihana's or another Japanese restaurant, Ronin Sushi in Royal Oak has awesome sushi rolls and authentic matcha green tea. read more

The service here was a bit lackluster. It doesn't seem like the wait staff is really excited to serve you. It's also quiet in there , I think they need to turn the volume up a bit.

All-in-all it was a good time! People were nice, place was clean and fun, food was good! We did not have reservations so instead of sitting for hibachi we sat in the front for dine in. Our food arrived timely after we order. I ordered the XO steak and it came with a salad and miso soup. The salad with the ginger dressing was delicious and the steak was very good! Not much of a miso soup person so I won't rate it. I wish the steak had some more mixed vegetables aside from just onions but very good steak and the XO sauce is delicious. My wife ordered the udon and it came with a salad as well. She said the udon was okay or average udon. After our waitress took our order and brought me my coke, we never saw her again. We weren't checked on after we received our food. Eventually she came back to refill water and then another waitress took our bill. Pros: Food was pretty good. Atmosphere is fun. Service is very nice. Cons: Udon was average. Dine-in felt like an afterthought. We do want to come back and try other dishes! read more

Nice Hibachi Spot located in Livonia. Came here for dinner and to check this spot out for the first time. The ginger salad was probably the best I've ever had. Had the Crab ragoon and the Rock Shrimp for appetizers and those were both delicious. The crab ragoon was nice and creamy and delicious. Rock Shrimp was also delicious. We also had the spicy crunch shrimp roll and that was really. For dinner I ordered the filet with the scallops. My wife order the shrimp hibachi. Honestly overall it was okay but we felt as if it was too saucy and they poured like teriyaki all over the food. Chicken fried rice was okay, I've had better. Service was good. Little understaffed I would say. Overall food was good. I would try it again but honestly maybe more so towards the sushi and the appetizers read more

We made reservations for a party of 12 a couple months out to celebrate a birthday on a Sunday evening. They do ask that you wait to be seated until all your party has arrived. With four adult children coming from various geographic points times are most usually within a "range". The staff were very accommodating that it took about 15-20 minutes for everyone to arrive after the reservation time. The parking lot is in the back so there is no way to see from Plymouth Road while driving if they are busy or not. Every Hibachi seating station was full during our two experience. First off the service was incredible. The birthday girl even received a balloon hat, happy birthday sung with a drum accompaniment, and very generous birthday dessert with candle. The chef was quite entertaining and put on a wonderful display of skill. He was engaging with each and everyone of us, which greatly enhanced everyone's experience. The squirts of sake were especially popular! The restaurant was very clean, spacious, and really loved how you did not feel crowded close to the other seating stations. The food was good and as you would expect it to be. Go for the overall experience and not just for the food. The prices reflect the whole atmosphere, service, and skill of the chef in my opinion. read more

Went with a small group so we knew we would be sat with another group, however we ended up with too many people at the table half of our group were not seated in proper view of the 'chef'. The chef was new and not as talented as the chef across the room; he wasn't bad, but just didn't grab out attention as he wasn't as 'seasoned'. When we've visited in the past we always walked out with leftovers, but the portion sizes were much smaller leftovers were not a possibility unless you left hungry. They did not have a bartender the night we visited so yiu couldn't order many items from the bar menu. Not sure if I'll return to this restaurant read more
