I always get steak and its been beefy and juicy without any fat, gristle, or other questionable parts sometimes found on restaurant beef cuts. They are always good about hearing the family member with the special requests. No onion on anything means broth for soup and said family member is happy with that. They oblige on the fried rice by cooking her veg without onion on a separate part of the grill. The chefs we have had do a couple of the things that I guess is part of the experience? Ultimately, if you are looking for hibachi in Fort Wayne, Sapporo is worth your time.

The restaurant has that classic hibachi atmosphere, the sound of the grills going, and every table gathered around watching the chefs cook right in front of you. There's always something happening, whether it's the flames, the knife tricks, or everyone laughing together. It makes dinner feel more like an experience than just a meal. Our server was super friendly, and our chef was just as great, keeping everyone entertained while cooking. The whole presentation was exactly what I was hoping for, but the real star of the night was the ribeye steak. It was cooked to a perfect medium, with a warm pink center that kept every bite incredibly juicy and tender. The outside had a nice sear, while the inside stayed buttery soft. As the chef cooked it on the flat top, the seasoning and soy sauce caramelized around the meat, creating this rich, savory flavor that coated every bite. It had just the right balance of salt, garlic, butter, and that signature hibachi flavor that keeps you reaching for another piece. The whole experience was a lot of fun, but that ribeye is the reason I'd come back.

Grabbed Koto carry for lunch…read more.. First time having Koto and it was solid... Not as good and authentic as we were told about, but still respectable. They give you a ton of food for the price and their miso soup was excellent (definitely the best part). The Hibachi was tender and well seasoned/flavored, but not the best we've had in town. We'd probably order carry out again, but we do prefer Sakura, Umi, or Kyoto for dine in... Still good/solid Japanese however.

Mimi's Retreat (Auburn, on the square) - dinning "retreat" during the Auburn Fair…read more Here is another one of our family traditions. We enjoy going to the Auburn Free Fall Fair. Looking at the 4-H animals, walking through the commercial tent, getting donuts, people watching and taking in the food vendor sights/smells are part of that experience. We also like to grab a bite to eat while there. However, I'm just not interested in fighting the lines to get an expensive corn dog, sirloin tip and/or fish sandwich....and then having no where to sit, relax and eat our selections. Enter Mimi's Retreat! Mimi's Retreat is small community bar that is located on the south side of the square - so they are right in the middle of the action! They are always open during the fair and tend to have fewer customers than normal. This makes them a great choice to duck into to get a good meal, at a pretty good price and sit & relax away from the crowds. Mimi's has been a part of the Auburn scene for as long as I can remember. They are best described as a community bar. They have some TV's for sports viewing. The attractive looking bar will seat about 10 people. There are less than modern tables to seat about another 40 patrons. Mimi's is set in an old building. They have stayed true to the older feel in terms of wood work, brick and vintage feel. The decor mainly features bar modern day product signs and some historic Auburn pictures. The kitchen is easily viewed as you walk in the door. The place is rather comfortable and inviting. The staff here is welcoming and friendly. Mimi's service may not be the most attentive when the bar is busy - just be aware. The menu is pretty simple and moderately priced. They have the typical bar food with a few add-ons that give them a little boarder touch including non-bar food daily specials. I can't speak for bar service. It seems like they hustle the best they can. Food tends to come out at a decent pace - depending on the crowd. Mimi's is definitely a no-frills kind of place as the non-alcohol drinks are served in a Toby Keith style red Solo cup. Now onto the food. We started with the sweet potato fries. The fries are thin and fried to a moderate crisp - like you would expect, not mushy. The fry has a nice bold sweet potato taste. They aren't very oily. The real treat is the homemade Hawaiian pineapple dipping sauce. It is smooth, thick and sweet. You literally can taste the refreshing Hawaiian flavors which really bring out the bolder sweet potato taste. Definitely a must try! The blacken chicken Caesar wrap is very tasty. The chicken is very moist and nicely grilled. The mild tasting Caesar dressing is applied in moderation and helps pull all the flavors together. Note: this $8 item doesn't come with a side, that is extra. The Cole slaw is homemade and outstanding. It includes white and purple cabbage. Onions, carrots and red peppers are apart of this fresh tasting side. The Cole slaw is mayo based. However, the mayo is very lightly applied and it has a hint of vinegar flavoring - the best of both style Cole slaws. The fish dinner has seven medium pieces for $14.99. It comes with French fries and one side. The French fries were a lot like the sweet potato fries in terms of cut, firmness and oiliness - fairly good. The fish pieces tasted fresh-ish. No fishy or frozen tastes. The meat was soft, tender and slightly flaky. The breading is rather thin. It is also rather plain to taste - unlike a Fish of Stroh type fillet. The tarter sauce has a heavier mayo taste with a mild amount of pickle/tartar flavoring. It definitely isn't sweet or heavier on relish like I like it. Overall...Mimi's makes a good place to pick up a meal regardless of the time of year. Give them a try sometime when you are in Auburn.

Our server was friendly and took our orders promptly. My husband had the grilled chicken sandwich, I ordered the breaded tenderloin, and we shared fries. The sandwiches were good, but the fries were a bit disappointing--very small portion for nearly $5 extra. They were thin, McDonald's-style fries. The bar wasn't busy during our visit, with only a couple tables occupied at a time. Staff seemed to know most guests personally, greeting them with hugs. The music was loud, which may be fun for some, but felt a little overwhelming to us. The biggest issue was the restrooms, which had a very strong odor that made the experience unpleasant. Overall, the food itself was decent, but the portion sizes, loud atmosphere, and restroom cleanliness kept it from being a great visit.
