This place is an excellent spot to grab a no-frills lunch if you're nearby, and the food is pretty dang good, too! The entrance is in an ally between 106th and 108th -- not hard to find, but it's in a weird spot. When you walk in, you'll see a cash register and two self-ordering touchscreen kiosks to the left. The kiosk was fine, but when I tried using it, it didn't work for me - it got to the payment page, but wouldnt connect to the internet or something. It wasnt a big deal - I let the employee know and they rung me up on the main register -- easy. Got here around 11:30 before the lunch rush and it was pretty quiet. There are about 6 tables inside. I got spicy chicken teriyaki - what I usually get when I first try a place out. It's low risk. Served half and half in a tray - chicken and rice -- the salad and extra sauces were on the side. The salad was super basic (just lettuce), but it was crisp and fresh, served with a standard sesame dressing, also on the side. They packed all orders to go, which was a little weird, but I guess it's efficient... just a little wasteful and awkward if you're eating in. I was so stuffed -- i didn't finish everything, which is unsual -- it was a ton of food. Lots of chicken. Lots of rice. A correct amount of salad. It was awesome portions. The spicy chicken teriyaki wasn't anything special - a little spicy, not too sweet, but it was nice and hot and fresh. The sauce they give you is normal teriyaki sauce, not special spicy sauce, which is nice. It isn't cloyingly sweet - again, pretty basic and normal. Overall, it's executed well and I can't complain. read more

Sapporo Teriyaki - Hot & Spicy Chicken, rice, side-salad, teriyaki sauce, and sesame dressing. - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

3.5 Stars. Apparently, Sapporo Teriyaki existed before it made a place in downtown Bellevue at the Galleria area along the Grand Connection. I didn't visit before then, but am glad this is walking distance to the office, with another lunch option to choose from. My friend and I visited Sapporo Teriyaki for lunch on a Thursday and the place was pretty busy with takeout orders since the space inside is on the smaller end, but has tables and chairs for dining in. When I ordered, my friend and I waited for about 15 minutes. Not too shabby. It's also nice that you can order and pay on a screen, making service faster. It's nice that the menu has a lot of different options beyond basic chicken teriyaki. I like spicy teriyaki, so ended up with that, and was able to choose brown rice and steamed veggies instead of the usual white rice and salad. However, I will say that I was disappointed in how few broccoli pieces I had compared to the carrots for the steamed veggies option. Teriyaki was solid though. It wasn't that spicy, but had a hint of kick to it. The teriyaki sauce is sweet and thick, so not my favorite. With that said, I like that they have the teriyaki sauce on the side versus slathered on the meat, allowing patrons to choose how much sauce they want. Overall, Sapporo Teriyaki is a solid lunch option in downtown Bellevue. read more

Sapporo Teriyaki - Spicy Chicken Teriyaki w/ Brown Rice & Steamed Veggies - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Decent teriyaki joint tucked away along the transit station to Bellevue Square path in middle of downtown Bellevue. Service is on the slower side due to its cook to order nature, which caught me by surprise since usual teriyaki joints tend to already have all the meat on the grill at all time. The plus is that with the slightly longer wait, you get freshly grilled tender chicken, not too heavy on sauce but comes with extra sauce on the side in case you prefer heavier flavor. Another surprise is the mountain of carrots I got from the double order of steamed veggie, very different from the menu picture. I like carrots but not to the Bugs Bunny extend so would prefer some varieties. read more

I been here twice now and they have been solid. The first time I went, I was not impressed at first so I didn't take any pictures but I regret it that Because the food was good. We got the chicken and pork teriyaki combo last time and the meat was tender and juicy and portion was good. This time I decided to try the yakisoba and remove the rice. The portion was gigantic! The dish was good, I did wish the chicken was a little more tender but besides that it was pretty good. The guy there was nice and food came out pretty quickly. It was quiet when I came in but I think the lunch rush was over. Overall, good teriyaki spot. read more

Food was amazing, sauces were great and the katsu was perfectly made. Portions were also really good, I got more than I could eat. Shoutout Roy read more

Chicken had too many burnt parts on the outside yet the inside was pink and undercooked. Salad was wet and was soaked in water that was probably not the cleanest according to my taste buds. It was my first and last time there. read more

I was really surprised by this stop. I came here to meet a friend for lunch and although it's definitely a little sketchy on the outside, the gyoza and the chicken are fresh and the portions are great for the size. Would recommend! read more

Decent teriyaki in Eastside! The chicken is tender, but not super flavorful. The teriyaki sauce was good but I probably needed at least twice amount I was given. Pretty affordable though and comes with a side choice of either salad (lettuce with dressing) or steamed vegetables. read more

Sapporo Teriyaki - Boneless Chicken Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Sapporo Teriyaki was my go-to teriyaki restaurant during my three month stay in Seattle. It was conveniently next to my gym and hotel so it was routine for me to order chicken teriyaki to-go after my workout for dinner. The interior is small and a little dirty, but that's part of the charm of Seattle's ubiquitous teriyaki restaurants that dot the suburbs. Sapporo is run by a quiet, old Korean man who comes off a little shy at first but gets to be pretty friendly one you get to know him. The prices are comparable to other teriyaki restaurants and the portions are slightly larger. My go-to order is the chicken teriyaki with steamed vegetables. I've gotten the katsu and the spicy teriyaki chicken but frankly don't think either of them are worth it. The spicy teriyaki chicken is a dollar extra when you can just get the spicy condiment and add it to the teriyaki yourself. There is a meal deal to get potstickers with your chicken but I personally just stick to the basic teriyaki. The chicken is always juicy and tasty with a nice bit of char for added flavor. They include the teriyaki sauce on the side which is great if you're trying to watch your calories. You get the option of a salad or steamed vegetables which I always get the latter. Nothing too special, the veggies were fine. Rice was fine, nice bite and not too mushy when you eat it. You can help yourself to the chili sauce which is nice, and they have free wifi if you dine in. Takeout orders over the phone are quick and painless and the food is usually ready in under 10 minutes. Sapporo is by far my favorite teriyaki restaurant in the area and I will keep coming back. read more

Been eating teriyaki and spicy chicken here for years. Quality does vary, but it's always good. Sometimes great, but always good. And they've always been friendly and reasonably priced. The interior could use a refresh. Doesn't look like much has been invested back into the business over the years. Can also get crowded at lunch because it's a favorite of Microsoft employees. But, overall, a solid teriyaki joint. read more

Good fast Teriyaki and still mostly reasonably priced. Fast friendly service and they're not sticking an ipad in your face for a 20% gratuity on a to-go order like some do. I took my team here the other day and received good feedback from them too. Defiantly a good goto! read more

It's a decent teriyaki place, it's the place to go for some of my friends, they especially like the spicy teriyaki. I like it too, but when I got it a few times I was still a little hungry after. I tried the katsu this time and I liked it, it tasted good and the portion was large enough. I just wish they gave more steamed veggies though. read more

Sapporo Teriyaki - Chicken Teriyaki, double fried rice instead of vegetables. - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Tried Sapporo again. What I found is the spicy teriyaki is excellent. Great flavor and nice texture. The regular teriyaki is OK. Not the greatest but adequate. My first time I had the ramen and thought it was a little bland. But I think certain dishes are good at this spot. The best thing is they are charging reasonable prices. read more

Sapporo teriyaki has been my go-to place for 20 years. It is close to Microsoft campus, and it used to be freaking delicious. However, after many owner and menu changes, the food quality has gone downhill. It just isn't as tasty as it used to be and it has gotten to the point that I've started checking out other local teriyaki places. My standby is the spicy chicken teriyaki. The portion size is good. The chicken pieces come out lathered in chili sauce. I opt for the default, but if you ask for only white meat, you can get that. They offer brown rice for a dollar more, and you can choose salad with a choice of dressing or steamed veggies. I've often eaten the yakisoba and sukiyaki. They are also decent, and you can ask for them spicy. Occasionally I've had the chicken katsu, which is fine. My biggest complaint is the chicken is not cooked right any more. It used to be charred and full of flavor, now it is bland and usually has no char at all. The menu used to be Japanese food only, and now features Chinese food among other things. Why do these places try to branch out? You can't do all things well, so you end up doing all things mediocre. One good thing is that the dining room is a good size and you can often pull several tables together to accommodate a larger group. This place used to be a solid 4 stars+ for me, but my interest has waned. I have other places I go to when I'm elsewhere that I'm comparing Sapporo to. read more

OMG. What kind of garlic chicken is this? It's like sweet and sour Chinese chicken in a different sauce. No garlic. Chewy? Odd and strange. It was difficult passing up a Korean restaurant for the same price for lunch in the same parking lot but I really wanted to try their garlic chicken. Why do I even give these places a third chance? Blah! read more

I'm not at all troubled by the plethora of teriyaki restaurants in the area. If anything, I welcome any opportunity to get such a quick and easy meal for a low price. And so I walk in here with ten dollars and leave without having spent any more than that. This restaurant is right across the street from Nasai Teriyaki, and I would say the two places are comparable in quality. Neither of them are going to win any awards, but they're good for the purpose that they serve. As usual for places like this, you order at the counter. The menu is displayed above. Wait times are reasonable, and they have a TV. Portion sizes are decent; I figure they want to give you a lot to make you come back. And to be honest, it works on me. Another cool thing about Sapporo Teriyaki is that you can substitute the nutritionally vacuous lettuce for some broccoli and carrots. There are your vitamins and minerals for the day. read more

If you find yourself famished this is a great pit stop. The variations are endless and the service consistently good. I usually order the spicy chicken and rice with a side of fresh ranch. Soy sauce available for extra zest. If you haven't tried it, consider this review hi praise. My most recent nourish involved tofu and the meal was equally as deca dent. read more

Ive been going here for 25 years. I stopped by and ordered 2 of my regular. I went to pay and it was $36. I looked up at the menu and the prices had doubled. Like WTF. Dont know if they sold it but it anit worth $36. Thats fine dining territory. Sorry wont be back unless they drop prices. read more

Got Grubhub delivery which took a quite a bit longer than expected, however once the food was received it was great. The teriyaki shrimp with salad and sesame dressing was the classic combo I was lookIng for. Good rice, and sauce was well balanced- good takeout! read more

Worst food Ever!!! Ordered teriyaki chicken and they cook it with now seasoning or sauce. SUPER dry!!! Not worth the money you pay!!!! read more

Worst food. Cold, uncooked and expensive. Chicken was cold, sauce was cold... can't believe this place is still open

In an area with more teriyaki places within eyesight than I have ever encountered, this one must be the king of the local teriyaki throne. Super tasty bolgogi, sides of katsu available for cheap, and everything else on the menu that I have tried in my few visits was delicious. A simple menu, but done well. I have started dropping in here when I'm trapped in Bellevue and need to wait out some of the bridge traffic. read more

I have frequented this restaurant several times over the past year, and each time I am quite satisfied with the experience. Their bread and butter is the spicy chicken teriyaki which is just the right amount of spicy kick and tasty tender chicken. If this is your first time going there, you should definitely try it out! I think I end up ordering that the most but I've also had a chance to try out their salmon teriyaki, regular teriyaki, yakisoba and their curry. All of these dishes are really excellent and the price to food ratio is very good. I always walk away stuffed and happy. Each of their platters comes with rice (optional brown rice available) and you can choose between a side salad or steamed veggies. I am not a huge salad fan so I generally end up going for the veggies - which is nice because it's a healthy compliment. On the few occasions that I've had their salad, I distinctly remember their sesame seed and italian dressing which is better than the dressings I usually get at other teriyaki restaurants. They recently had a remodel and the place looks a light brighter and more appealing to my senses. It's a welcome change and I also appreciate the addition of a flat screen TV that I can watch while I eat. The family that owns the restaurant is extremely cordial and have offered to change the channel to whatever I like when I'm eating there. It's that friendly touch that helps make this place standout. I feel they are genuine and helpful -- and that they appreciate my business. Overall - I think people should give this place a shot. If you need a good teriyaki fix and you're near Redmond, you need to check it out. The prices are very reasonable considering you're on the eastside and that it's nearby the Microsoft campus. Also on busier days, I call in for take out orders and they are always prompt and have my food hot and ready when I show up! read more

Let's face it, if you're reading this review, there's a good chance you work for Microsoft and you're looking for a place to grab some lunch. Maybe you're a DigiPen student who can't cook and needs a proper meal, but you've spent most of your monthly budget on video games. Sapporo has you covered in both cases, as its price is fair and its portions are most generous. Sapporo is not a place where you go to be impressed--this is a spartan cafeteria for those mind-warriors who lock horns with the curly-braced menace all day long. Rice. Gyoza. Vegetables. Chicken--spicy preferably if you've the stones for it. Your stomach will be filled, and your wallet won't be empty. The teriyaki sauce they offer is good on rice, and there's something to the juxtaposition of a ranch-topped salad alongside some sriracha-coated teriyaki meat that grabs me. While living with friends attending DigiPen in Redmond, I ate here twice a week for a year. I recently returned during Penny Arcade Expo, as I was staying on the Eastside, and it hasn't changed a bit. I credit their continued survival to their simple, cost-conscious approach and their location. Convenient, and definitely superior to the other teriyaki places nearby. read more

A regular weekly stop for me and their #20 combo spicy chicken. The portion is quite large and it sometimes can last two lunches depending on your appetite. The service is great. Good takeaway or eat there options. read more

It's my considered opinion that this is one of the top 2 teriyaki joints in the Greater Seattle area. This is about as good as it gets here. I've lived here over 12 years and have sampled many other teriyaki restaurants and this one beats them. This opinion is shared by a multitude of other Microsoft employees who eat there religiously. The basic dish is the teriyaki chicken. If you want something with a bigger flavor, try the beef or pork. The spicy chicken is outstanding, but very spicy. Try accompanying it with orange soda and ranch dressing (both spice-mitigating foods). The only other teriyaki place that compares to this one used to be Sunny Teriyaki in Ballard, which is no longer at it's old location. read more

Wouldn't recommend this restaurant. Their Mongolian beef was very bland, didn't have any flavor, and tasted like it had been boiled for way too long. read more

Best teriyaki in Bellevue I've gotten katsu everywhere, it slaps everytime at Sapporo.

Went here and went with the spicy chicken recommendation. Not the best, but not the worst. Seems a popular place and was fast service and correctly priced. Haven't been back since but likely will if I ever get out of the office for lunch again. read more

This place is very, VERY average. Food is nothing special, and not very noteworthy; but for whatever reason, I bring my work crowd there all the time. The staff is somewhat distant, and almost feel like fast-food workers, but that's not generally a problem. I particularly like their chicken curry dish, and right now, it's the only thing I get here. I always enjoy chucking at the spelling errors on the menus, though. read more

We go there at least once a month, and have been for almost 8 years. Kid friendly. I love their "Chicken Breast" (#2 I think). Everyone seems to go for their "special", Spicy Chicken. I just order #2 every time... Pour lots of that teriyaki sauce (!) from the bottle on the table, and it's just perfect... My wife says that their chicken is "dry". It may be, somehow it is part of the charm. Don't ask me, go try it... OH I don't like their "liquid disposal bucket" (!) where you empty your tray. Couldn't they hide it inside a cabinet? That thing is disgusting. I tried to explain this to the manager, and he didn't seem to understand. If you go, tell them it's disgusting too. I still love the place... read more

Sketchhhhhhh... I ordered through Grub Hub. They never delivered my order again... I called to complain. They still charged me for the meal. I let it go and decided too pick it up. When I got to the place they were closed the whole time. We asked the next door business to confirm. Will never be ordering online. If they have the opportunity to take your money they will... you've been warned read more

The food was expensive and a little overrated. My general two chicken tasted like orange chicken and was mostly breading and no chicken. My fried rice was not really fried and lacked flavor but the service was fast and good. Overall, it filled the gap but wouldn't be a place that I recommend. Also, they don't accept American Express so I had to pay with cash on a corporate trip. read more
