| - Sapporo is definitely worth checking out for the experience of revolving/conveyer belt sushi. If you're looking for super fancy rolls, this is probably not your place - instead, Sapporo focuses on the simple: delicious pieces of nigiri and simple rolls with only a handful of specialty rolls. For its simplicity, the food is done well and is reasonably priced at $2.50 per plate off the conveyer belt. Most plates come with 2 pieces of nigiri or as 3 pieces of a roll, making it perfect for trying a lot of different dishes to find your favorites. If you don't see a dish that you want, you can also order off of their iPad menu which offers larger specialty rolls, sashimi, tempura, ramen, and desserts (ranging from $4.95-10). A small car-like robot will deliver it direct to your table!
Our favorites from the night were:
1) Salmon belly - so fatty and melts in your mouth
2) Salmon and shrimp tacos - mini fried wonton tacos with a mixture of salmon or shrimp in a creamy sauce; easy to eat in one bite
3) Garlic tuna - tuna nigiri with fried garlic on top with a peppery sesame sauce
4) Bluefin tuna - definitely worth $2.50 for 1 piece (one of the few plates that only comes as 1 piece of nigiri)
5) Popcorn lobster roll - basic crab roll topped with tempura fried lobster with a yummy mix of creamy and eel sauce
Service is fast, and the waitstaff is nice! At the end of your meal, they tally up your plates in addition to the food you order off the iPad. Overall, a fun and good experience - I would definitely go back!
