Make sure to ask for an entertaining chef if you are doing the teppanyaki table. I've been going to sapporo for 10 years with my family. We went tonight for a $300 birthday teppanyaki meal. The chef was polite but didn't do any of the fun stuff. I was so disappointed. As was my mother and our guests. I spoke to the manager at the end of the night... she said she was sorry and would put a note in my reservation for next time and said that the info would be used for training... but she didn't even take my name...sadly, this will be the end of this tradition for our family. I don't think she truly cared..I was really bummed.
