We went to this place based on the 4 1/2 star review it lived up to its review score the food was excellent. The Gyoza appetizer is out of this world and the portions for the sashimi are incredibly big. Service was great in eligible and we stopped by around five and we were able to sit down right away. There's nothing really more to say this was just a great experience all around. read more

Very friendly staff. Food presentation is nice. Delicious food. Pleasant background music and decor.

I got the hibachi chicken dinner, which was really good (4.5/5)! They give you a lot of great chicken, veggies and noodles for a good price! It also comes with a soup and salad, which are ok (3.5/5). The service was slow (2/5). I felt bad because there was only one waitress and the entire restaurant was filled and had a wait, so she had to scramble back and forth. She did an excellent job though! If it there was one more waiter/waitress or it was not as busy, the service would have been great! The restaurant has a nice ambiance typical of Japanese restaurants (4/5). read more

This place is a 5/5!! Wow--the food here is absolutely wonderful, and the ambiance is clean, cozy, and charming. We tried the hibachi fried rice and teriyaki chicken, and both dishes were served hot and full of flavor. The Pinot Noir they offer was a perfect pairing. The customer service was top-notch, and the waitstaff clearly knows the menu well. We can't wait to come back! read more

Had the Christmas roll which I believe was a special and it was one of the best rolls I have ever had! Need to keep this one all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Sapporo is my go to Japanese restaurant for take out in my neighborhood. The food is delicious and they have several options from authentic noodle-based dishes to sushi or hibachi. I was going to give them a higher rating but they forgot my fried rice in my takeout order and didn't answer the phone when I called for a refund on the rice last night. The first pictured item is their ginger salad, which consists of a few pieces of lettuce and would be pretty meh if it weren't for the delicious ginger dressing. The mushroom onion soup is decent but not amazing. My favorite part of this order was actually the crab rangoons, these are melt and flaky on the outside and actually come with imitation crab on the inside unlike some other restaurants that only have cream cheese. These things melt in your mouth and even have a hint of sweetness to them. The Salmon Hibachi is also delicious. Consisting of udon noodles, a mix of carrots, broccoli, zucchini and onion. The salmon itself is crispy and almost blackened, just the way I like it. This comes with a container of yum yum sauce that goes very well with the hibachi. Overall I am pleased, just don't forget my fried rice next time! read more

Well decorated, quiet restaurant with many booths, also tables and bar seating. Server was attentive and helpful. Food was very yummy! I had a tempura dish with some light flavor sauce and the shumai was very flavorful. My companion got the chicken habachi lunch and that was super yummy as well. Will have to come back again :) read more

Sapporo - View of the bar/sushi area, very cute decor - Sushi Bars Near Me - Shakopee, Minnesota

Cute little suburban spot to grab food before a show if you're near Mystic Lake. They appeared to have a full bar and I was able to get Sake as well as a Tequila shot before an event. It does take a while to get served and it also takes a while to have your food come out, so plan accordingly. We ordered a few Speciality Rolls and some Hot Sake! The rolls had good flavor and were saucy, but the cuts were quite large and I found myself struggling to eat them in one bite. A bit messy. The Sake went down just fine! In general, the service was very friendly! Easy parking lot parking. It's part of a strip and looks very plain on the outside, but warm and cute on the inside. read more

The customer service is always exceptional here. The portions are a good size as well. We really enjoy the spicy snow mountain roll and lunch specials. My son loves the hibachi noodles and cheesecake. Hecalls this place his restaurant. One of my favorite places to eat! read more

First time ordering from Sapporo and I was really pleased. I ordered the Winter Roll which was yummy but the outer thin wrap of pale ?seaweed made it look a little unappetizing. Did not affect the delicious flavor. The side of Hibachi Fried Rice was an excellent choice because it had a wonderful smoky hibachi flavor. I also tried the Crab Rangoon because how can you go wrong with crab and cream cheese fried in a wonton? You can't. read more

Amazing service and absolutely delicious rolls! The staff was friendly and attentive, and everything we ordered was super fresh and full of flavor. The 2020 Roll, Royal Pink Roll, and Shrimp Tempura were standouts -- especially the Pink Roll, which was beautifully made and packed with taste. They even gave us plenty of ginger just like we asked. Definitely one of the best sushi spots around -- we'll be back for sure! read more

Picked up some carry out sushi for dinner tonight from Sapporo. I had the spicy roll that included tuna and salmon. It was good,but not as good as what I get at home. It was nice that they included soup and a small salad. I was not able to eat the soup as they did not include a spoon and I was eating in my hotel room. Price was reasonable for the amount of sushi. read more

Been by this place a million times and finally stopped in for a quick lunch. So nice! Wonderful food and excellent hospitality. Tempura veggies, shrimp, and sushi roll box was a winner. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Thought this was Italian when we drove by it is excellent. We get the steak, shrimp and chicken noodle stirfry and it is amazing enough to feed 2 people. Highly recommended. Nice people great food. !! read more

Another solid delivery option. It's not the highest quality hibachi I've ever gotten, but it's hot, fresh, and generous portions. The meat is not high quality and fried rice is not free (instead you get some oily noodles which are meh), but the rest is fine and they give you a ton of food. Maybe it just doesn't taste that great because I've only gotten delivery. Need to go in for the full hibachi experience! read more

We frequent the usual sushi places in Chanhassen and decided to try Sapporo as they were on door dash. We ordered the chicken hibachi and some sushi. We were in for a pleasant surprise. So I feel like I've tried all places in the SW burbs. What could be different? We were blown away by the portions of the hibachi. Hibachi already can serve easily 2. Um this sucker weighted 5 pounds. The amount of chicken was probably a 1.5 large chicken breast perfectly cooked. The noodles were so good. Almost prefer noodles versus rice. The veggies were just like all others. The sauce, was on another level. I love a good shrimp or yum yum sauce. This by far as the best sauce I've had. The sushi, we had 3 different types and it was so fresh. Pleasantly surprised and skeptical as I'm used to sushi from soya, sake, and kais, which is good. Nothing earth shattering. The rice and fish were so fresh, didn't have that gummy rice texture that I encounter with some sushi places. Highly recommend and splitting the hibachi meal. Oh and the onion soup, my husband's favorite. read more

Sapporo - Chicken H2. Hibachi Chicken - Sushi Bars Near Me - Shakopee, Minnesota

I'm positive I heard a rap song playing in the background with F-bombs included. I'm no prude, as I curse frequently, but I think its inappropriate to have that playing in an establishment where children may be present. With that in mind, onto the food and service... I find it very interesting the lunch plates come with noodles, which is something I hate. Fried rice was a $2.95 upgrade. I don't recall an option for plain rice. There may have been and I missed it, but I think the noodles do nothing. You get two sauces with your meal. One is ginger based. The other appeared to be a miso-style aioli. Both of these sauces were excellent accompaniments to the chicken. The vegetables that come with the meal are haphazardly selected. Onions, broccoli, carrots, and zucchini. Seemed to be an overabundance of carrot compared with everything else. I also ordered a Boston roll...something simple to go with my meal. No complaints with it--shrimp, lettuce, cucumber, and spicy mayo are hard to screw up. The roll was well constructed. Interesting people around Shakopee were so hard up for a Japanese restaurant they seem to be overrating this place. Food was good, but not great. I've had worse. I've also had better. read more

Delicious fresh food and great people! The team and owners of this business are fantastic. Thank you!!

I wanted something different than the normal burger and fries lunch. I ordered two rolls and they were ready within the promised 30 minutes. These rolls are top quality and tastes so delicious! Both the rolls tasted fresh and the presentation was phenomenal, for take out that is! Will definitely be going back! read more

Ordered nigiri sushi tuna, yellowtail, squid, and tobiko. Not one piece was fresh. Fish was dry and had fishy aroma and taste. I left half of the order (one piece of each) on the plate. Service was good, staff were friendly and accommodating but the food was just plain bad. read more

The decor was typical Japanese. The service and food were excellent. The menu had allot of options

As I write this review we are 2.5 hours in to our adventure here and I can't tell you how the sushi tastes as we have not received any food yet. Granted this is Valentines Day, however this restaurant has some obvious process issues. **The poor rating of this review has more to do with those bad process issues than the food, the food turned out to be excellent.** 1) We called to make reservations, but were told they don't take reservations it is first come first served. 2) When we got there we were told there were two couples ahead of us and we would be seated. But they don't keep a list of the guests waiting and did not serve people in a first come first serve basis as many people who arrived after us were seated before us. 3) When we asked about it we were told those people had reservations, but were told on the phone they don't take reservations. So we are not sure what was happening here. When we finally were seated 1 1/2 after arriving we ordered within a few minutes. Our appetizer came about 20 minutes later. Still waiting on our sushi and we have now been at our table for a little over an hour. In that time our waitress has only checked in once and had no info on how long it would be only that the sushi is backed up. When the food finally arrived it was excellent. We had the Philadelphia, Green Dragon, Summer, and Godzilla rolls. Everything tastes fresh and we especially enjoyed the lox in the Philadelphia roll adding a hint of smokiness. The staff did on several occasions throughout the night offer apologies for our waits and they did comp us a couple of our drinks. read more

Sapporo - Hot Saki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Shakopee, Minnesota

Minneapolis Friends, make the short trip to this wonderful hidden gift in Shakopee! We came here two days ago and enjoyed our wine & sake with sushi and chicken. Today I had the Tri Color Sushi meal--Tuna, Salmon, Yellowtail with Tuna Roll--and Su had Chicken Teriyaki (a generous portion). Their portions ARE generous--not shaved--and talking with our server about the food was a nice bonus! They gifted us with a green onion/fish batter ring of yumminess for dessert! You will not be disappointed with this visit! read more

I've driven by it everyday and never got down to see what they serve. Tried it out with my family and fell in love. We are definitely eating here at least once a week. People are great and so is the food. Highly recommend!! read more

excellent spot for yaki udon and sushi! i did a takeout order of 1 salmon roll and 1 yaki stir-fried udon (chicken). this was on a cold, February Saturday night so when i called in they were pretty busy but after not too long a wait i placed my order and was given a 30 minute wait estimate. about 30 min later i arrived (there's more parking off to the left fyi), popped in and was immediately helped by a staffer. they have a full see through glass/plexi separating staff from customers (good move for covid. i confirmed my name and the staffer slide my bag through to the other side. i paid by card in person, had to sign a receipt. was all very quick, and while this was happening the staffer cheerily noted my order was for two of his favorite dishes. he went on to say their salmon is better because it's fattier (has bits of white fat, which you want) as opposed to a cheaper, more orange looking sushi. sure enough when i opened my order at home, i saw some beautiful, fatty looking salmon sushi roll pieces! the udon chicken noodle dish portion size was generous, filled to the brim! good blend of noodles, chicken, vegetables, and sauce. plenty of food for one person with leftovers. i'd say definitely worth getting these dishes for the taste and value. they have a good operation going. my order was ready and i was inside the restaurant all of 3 minutes, if that. while there, 2 or 3 others arrived to pick up. the restaurant seems popular, and now i can see why! if you're craving sushi or other Japanese food like udon noodles, this is the spot for you. read more

If you're around the area, then I would say stop on in! However, it wouldn't be a place I'd go out of my way for. I believe the high rating are due to the presentation of food and the service! Everyone here is very attentive. Will fill up your water without asking, help with suggestions, and have food out in a timely manner. We ordered three rolls and the grilled squid. I thought the grilled squid tasted great! The sushi rolls (I couldn't remember the names altogether): crunchy roll, Hawaii mango, and the other one black eel or something with lobster inside? The rolls were constructed tightly and beautifully. The only issues we had were not tasting any mango in the mango roll and the lobster roll tasted like shrimp tempura. I can't say these are the best rolls, but I can't say they're the worst. Again, presentation of the food was beautiful! I didn't try anything from the hibachi or happy hour. read more

Sapporo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Shakopee, Minnesota

Sapporo is an absolute jem! They hands down have the best sushi south of the river. After living right behind Wakame Sushi in uptown, I can say that Sapporo gives them a run for their money. The rolls are always fresh and big. The presentation is always beautiful, and the flavors are great. Save your money going to places like Tokyo Sushi in Shakopee because Sapporo is cranking out way better sushi rolls. The manager is friendly and always ensures that everyone is enjoying everything. The winter roll and valentine roll are two of the best sushi rolls I've ever had. Thank you to Sapporo! The only complaint I have is one of their servers is constantly on her phone and it is not a good look for the restaurant. I don't enjoy having an empty water glass and then looking over at my server on their phone. I'm a server too, and I would get written up at my job for being on my phone in front of customers. read more

Our neighbors recommended Sapporo for great sushi and restaurant precautions with COVID. We ordered online, very easy to use website and awesome menu. We ordered three rolls and a combo roll option (California, salmon, and tuna rolls). Pick up was quick and efficient. We were sold when our neighbors told us this restaurant takes COVID seriously and the entire interior is plexiglass and all you can do is pick up your order and leave. No joke here and we really appreciate the precautions Sapporo has taken. The wontons and edamame were fresh and tasty. The sushi was nicely prepared. The Summer roll has mango on top and Crunch roll were excellent! We will come back for more! Keep up the good work! read more

Food was great - especially for Sushi in a small suburb town. But the ambiance and service left a lot to be desired. Expect to wait a long time for your food - especially during peak dinner times. read more

Customer service was nice, But the food was so ehh. The proportion sizes were pretty tiny. I ordered a steak and chicken habachi lunch and got 4 tiny pieces of steak and no chicken. They did give a generous portion of noodles and vegetables, but the noodles had little to no flavor and the veggies were okay. The onion soup it came with would've been good if it had more flavor. I also ordered crab ragoons and there was literally no filling so I was just eating a wrap. The chicken tempura roll was ehh and spicy tuna roll was just plain bad. Overall the prices this place charged with the quality and quantity of food just doesn't add up. First and last time ever trying this place. read more

the food was good, but the customer service could have been better. The person who look my order treated me like I was dumb for a simple mistake. Again, food was good even though it was pretty expensive (at least I thought it was, $20 for just the 1 bowl). I Just wish the atmosphere was better. read more

The shrimp Crunchyroll was really yummy. The other roles were good but they used avocado that wasn't ripe and that was disappointing.

Saporro just took it way up with the addition of Sushi Chef Jack. He recently moved over from Aji in Hopkins and we are so happy to follow him to Shakopee. His creativity and creations are something to behold and savor. As a friend said recently in a Facebook post: "I've been following Jack around the Twin Cities for the last 12 years or so. There is NO better sushi chef in town! He will create anything you want, right on the spot! He is a genius, and I consider him my brother. Please take a night to visit him and witness his brilliance!" Ask Jack for "Omakase" (Chef's Choice) then sit back and enjoy. read more
