    sautéed potatoes served with every Teppanyaki
    Laura F.

    What a fantastic evening! After a random conversation on Facebook, some of the other Yelpers and I decided we'd make the most of January's 20% off offer being ran at Sapporo and decided to book a table and meet for a catch up. I've been to this Sapporo Teppanyaki restaurant before, albeit a year ago, and remembered it being amazing Japanese food with incredible entertainment. And last night it was just as I remembered. The 6 of us - myself, Andrew Y. Michael B. Emily B. Natalie W. And Natalie's friend Izzy, we're all seated around the Teppanyaki grill and the waitress brought us the menus. Me and Andrew decided to share the Mixed Sushi Roll Platter as a starter. It was 2 pieces each of 4 different types of sushi rolls - so 8 pieces altogether on the platter. All of them were great! Very tasty and obviously very fresh too! I did persevere with my chopsticks, much to the amusement of the others, but I decided to give it up after dropping my Sushi about 10 times. Our Chef, Alex, was great throughout the meal. His knife skills were fabulous and he put on a great show flinging eggs into the air and catching them in his hat!! He went around the table tossing the potatoes at each of us and we had to attempt to catch these in our mouth! I was the only one who managed to do it!! *fist pump* (although Andrew came close) and thus redeemed myself for the chopstick fail. I ordered the Beef Fillet Teppanyaki for my main meal - which was cooked perfectly and was succulent and very well seasoned. The beef was served with sautéed potatoes, stir fried vegetables and egg fried rice, all of which were cooked on the grill in front of us and tasted superb. With the 20% off, my part of the bill came in at a more than reasonable price - and I'd be happy to pay that again for what I ordered and the service that you receive. Sapporo is a great place for a meal if you're looking for a bit of fun as well as some amazing food. I can imagine it's perfect for a works party or birthday gathering with mates.

    I think Sapporo Teppanyaki is a great place to go if there is a group of you. Good food and a bit of entertainment too. You get your chance to try and catch some sauteed potatoes in your mouth (I almost did it, so close) and also the chef entertains with his catching eggs in hats and generally spinning things about! I went on Tuesday with a group of people. There were 6 of us. One of the reasons we decided to come was of the 20% off food offer. I have been to Sapporo before but not for a long time. I have had teppanyaki before and its one of my favourites - I generally like all Japanese food. I remember the first time having it many years ago when I lived in Taiwan. I still remember having it in a supermarket in the food court part. Tasted good and was very cheap. I have had it more recently (ish) in Hong Kong in a food court in a shopping centre and its cheap there too. On Tuesday, me and Laura F shared a mixed sushi platter roll which was really good. As well as the entertainment from the chefs, it was also quite entertaining watching Laura F try and use chopsticks. Full marks for effort and persistent! (Although she was better than the rest of us at the catching a potato in her mouth - not an actual whole potato BTW, a sliced potato). I am glad we went for a mix platter option so we could try some sushi we may not normally have. For the main, I went for a teriyaki sirloin steak which was pretty good. It all came with veg, sauteed potatoes and fried rice. Sometimes in teppenyaki, it can be too salty but it wasn't this time which was good. My only complaint with the food (and its just a minor complaint) is that the fried rice was too buttery - so it was kind of like butter fried rice. Also, I asked for the beef cooked to medium rare but it was maybe just a bit more like medium. But it still tasted good. For drink, I had a pint of Asahi beer which is my favourite beer. It did cost £4.20 which I thought was a bit expensive.

    wow...just wow... I came here purely because I wanted to try something new and special for a special occassion..afer using the powers of the great Yelpness I found this place.. Luckliy we booked online on their easy to navigate web page, because this place was packed, but considering its busyness this place ran like clockwork. Coming in from the cold , a well dressed lady at reception confirmed our booking and led us to the table. It was like checking in at a posh hotel... We were the first to arrive at the ''cook workstation' and so we mooched at the menu. This place by the way has no one-to-one tables, so if you are not comfortable sitting next to strangers you may not want to come here.. There were a couple of menus to choose from, the Christmas and standard. There is soo much choice its unbelievable! I strongly recommend you do a bit of research beforehand so you don't feel rushed when choosing, as everything has to be synchronised with the other table orders. The waitress was a bit stiff but she took our orders efficiently...for starters we chose the Chef Selection Sashimi, (thank you Victoria for having that alluring pic of this !), spicy tuna rolls and tuna nigiri. I did fancy a sake to wash this down with but a 330ml bottle will cost you £15, a cup £2.50 or a bottle £50..so I chose Ashahi. By the time the food came, the other guests had arrived, and it was a nice layout because you could choose to interact with other diners or not...once everyone had settled in, two chefs appeared in the middle and started doing some fancy motifs with the eggs whites on the grill, and juggled cleavers.. after cooking some thin slices of potatoes we were handed a plate full with an assortment of dips. For a bit of fun, they went round the entire table trying to score potatoes in peoples mouths...I failed...miserably... After this potato fest they started cooking the mains all at once....even this was entertaining to watch, from cooking the rice with egg, the vaiorus fish on one side and the meat on the other grill... I had the assortment of fish which had scallops, and two fillets of this other fish which I cannot place...my partner in crime chose the giant steak which was cooked flawlessly... Overall I enjoyed the experience, everthing was cooked very well and with such passion and entertainment...yes the food is little expensive but I think they need to be able to pay the chef's for their skills too, because not everyone can play with knives without killing someone... there was also a 10% service charge...so I am now a £120 lighter,,,but hey its something you should do once... I won't go back in a hurry because of the expense, but when I do I will go as a big group so we have the whole cook station for ourselves :)

    Fab place for groups and if you like a bit of theatre with your meal- this place is always entertaining! Basically you are seated around live cooking stations and if you are having the teppanyaki, you pick out your meats (chicken, duck breast, pork fillet or lamb fillet) along with the sauce you want. All of the teppanyaki dishes come with egg fried rice, stir fry vegetables and sauté potatoes. Then you watch the chef prepare your meal right in front of your eyes, which is very impressive to watch. The chef throws sauté potatoes at you and you're supposed to try to catch it in your mouth. The best bit is when he tosses an egg in its shell around with a spatula, before eventually catching it on the side and cracking it over the hot grill. A great Japanese restaurant if you like tasty food and a lively atmosphere, and aren't looking for a quiet candlelit dinner. I had the chefs selection of sashimi and some edamame too- all delicious!

    There is no need for half the stuff the chefs do, half the time I was just sat waiting for my food whilst the chefs where too busy 'entertaining' . it's pointless. You do that stuff for babies and toddlers. This was a table full of adults. The food was pretty good. I had several items from the sushi menu, sashimi, steak and lobster. I was quite happy with it all. The steak caused problems as I wanted it rare. I suppose to all the monkeying around the chefs do the atmosphere is all buzzed up. The bar is amazing, good selection of Japanese whiskey, sake and various other alcohol. I spent at least two hours after my meal having a good natter to one of the bartenders. All in all good experience. Just get rid of the clown act.

    My second time coming here, 1st time was about four years ago. As it was my daughters birthday she decided on this restaurant because she wanted the fun factor. ... Our group of 12 met in the bar area for drinks until our table was ready..it was Saturday night so it was very busy, we waited a while but it was worth it.. We were seated and ordered, our personal chef arrived at our table and the entertainment began, it was amazing he was throwing potatoes into our mouths ( I missed)..then he made flames that were phenomenal. .and cooked our egg fried rice in front of our eyes.. I ordered the salmon starter and the duck with raspberry sauce for my main..it was delicious and plenty of it to. Everyone throughly enjoyed the evening it was a great night.

    The chef doesn't like, he's making it pretty clear. I know it's all part of the act but I feel that I've been slighty victimized. I think it was the egg been thrown at me that did it. Luckily I caught it but he couldn't have predicited that. Now admittedly I have a ego as frail as anyones and an internal monologue that would easily win a role in Peep Show so I am prone to a little paranoia but I'll bet that the paragraph above descirbes not just my experience at Sapporo's but lots of other peoples too. You have to go once just for the experience of sitting around a table that surrounds a mini kitchen, where you can watch a master trickster at work. Yeah, you have to go the once....anything more would make you a glutton for punishment.

    Cheap and good sushi, what more could you ask for?…read more This was previously (and briefly) part of an attempt at a chain of 2 restaurants by Crazy Wendy's Thai in West Didsbury. Doring Sushi Bar has had a temporary sign up since opening at the tail end of last summer but I hope they are here permanently. I love sushi and I especially love low priced sushi! I had a platter of mixed sushi for £10 which I thoroughly enjoyed and didn't have left overs as I planned. My friend got salmon with edamame and rice and gave it a good report back. They also have the usual Japanese fare of chicken katsu, gyoza, etc on offer. I went on a quiet Wednesday lunchtime but I imagine this place us doing well in the evenings as Chorlton needed a sushi place, I now realise. The service was very friendly and the right level of attentiveness. There was an 80s mix CD on with the likes of A-ha and Cyndi Lauper which also pleased me. So, basically, I was a happy lady and I will return very soon.

    Great value delicious sushi a 20 minute walk from my front door? Sign me up!…read more My friend came to visit and requested sushi because sushi is what you eat while on holiday according to her, and so I jumped at the chance to try Doring for the first time. We grabbed a table outside - beware the love seat, it is not very comfortable - and set about planning our feast. I can't remember everything that we ordered but we had some gyoza and edamame to start and then had an array of sushi and sashimi. All delicious, and the portions are pretty generous for the price. I was worried that we hadn't ordered enough, my friend was worried we had ordered too much, but it turned out to be a pretty satisfactory amount. We shared a bottle of house white wine which was perfectly fine. We also had some sake which I didn't love, though maybe I am just spoiled after the recent Yelp event featuring sake. The service was not great. Our waitress was very nice but seemed totally flustered. Thankfully as we were there for a nice leisurely meal this didn't bother us too much. Overall I really rate this place and I'll be back!

    I completely disagree with certain previous reviews cough *roz. To state that that the boxes are…read moreexpensive, they really aren't especially if you compare prices to that of Wasabi , yo Sushi ( who are cheap anyway). I passed this place the other week (it's been there since mid August) Walking in reminded me of the large fridge section of boots or Eat. All the sushi here comes prepacked so its ideal for the quick takeout.. With a choice of udon soups on the top shelf, underneath they had individually wrapped handrolls, large sashimi boxes, salmon , chicken, dumplings and swordfish. As for the drinks I didn't see anything alcoholic..not even the likes of sake or asahi.. Choosing a stackful of boxes we opened them up to reveal our treasure. The first one was the seared swordfish, which is not the cheapest fish . Yet here I was eating massive chunks of it for £3.50 ODD. Next was the tuna and salmon sashimi box. I think this was the most expensive box,at £7 but the amount of sashimi it contained was amazing. Box number 3 exposed x3 salmon nigiri, x3 tuna Nigiri , x6 salmon California rolls and edamame beans . This was around the 6.50 Mark which again works out cheaper than £2 a plate for two pieces! Finally we fought over the salmon box, which held maki and nigiri for £3.50. This place gets its high rating mainly due to the ideology of it. Cracking concept, great value for money and convenient. I mean the decor is okay..although next time look at the ceiling in the toilet ...there is a camera..hopefully its no longer live... The service was also pleasant, a nice lady who asked if we prefered forks or chopsticks (which came with a tooth pick-) However the food will never be five star because everything is refrigerated which makes the rice not as palatable. The tuna is also the same grade that wasabi use..tasty but I'm sure it artificially dyed. So overall I would come back again for some sashimi and a hot soup..but I will not have the very ricey dishes.

    Nudo Sushi Box has just joined the Oxford Road lunch scene with healthy sushi boxes, rice sets and…read moresoups & noodles. It has a really great vibe and has been busy every time I've passed by - you really need to pick a bit of a quieter time for your first trip though as there is so much to choose from! It's all lined up on shelves like you would find at a supermarket, however the team are constantly bringing out boxes so you know what you're looking at is super fresh. I've tried two lunches there now - the first was Chicken Teriyaki Rice which they heat for you before you go. This was delicious with great flavour, although could have done with a little more chicken. Today I went with the Dumpling & Nudo King Prawn Sushi Rice Set. Again flavours were spot on, although there was no description of what was in the dumplings (I think veggies). I also tried the Jasmine Silver Needle Tea (£1.80) which I've managed to get three drinks out of and still plenty of flavour. http://nudosushibox.com/menu Sadly they've priced the boxes quite high, with most items coming it at around £5.00 & above, so this could only ever be a treat option for lunch. For a healthy and fresh lunch alternative to a bog standard sandwich though, it's a great shout. Well worth checking out.

We were seated in a corner with decent views of the goings-on, and set about conquering the menu - the group was almost military in its tactics, dividing the menu's sections between ourselves to make sure we got to sample lots of different dishes. Three of us ordered a bottle of their house red (a Merlot) which was actually quite good - a bit on the peppery side but I really liked it. The food started to arrive after a bit of a wait, but we'd had some prawn crackers to whet our appetite. The sashimi platter that I ordered for us all to share was a bit disappointing (usual price £28 for 15 pieces). I can't think of anything else that was particularly underwhelming; the combo of orders was all rather good - but the highlights for me were the Taiwanese buns which you could have with shredded duck or pork belly (we ordered both). These were absolutely heavenly, for want of a better word. Service was friendly, if not a tad haphazard at times; it's definitely somewhere to consider for date night. That being said, you'd have to be happy 'flashing the cash' as I don't think it's worth the full price they'd ordinarily be charging diners.
