| - Las Vegas finally has a revolving sushi spot of its own!
Granted the quality you get at any revolving spot is usually mediocre at best, but that's where Sapporo stands out from the rest. The quality for all the fish was excellent, extremely fresh, and priced decently at only 2.50 per white revolving plate.
Their ordering system works good as well and is very user friendly and easy to figure out; allowing you the options to order, remove orders, pictures, and even an info section that informs you of what is included in certain specialty rolls.
I'm not particularly a big sushi roll eater because most places seem to over sauce their concoctions but at Sapporo they figured out how to perfect the amount of sushi to yum yum/eel sauce ratio. Trust me on this one, nothing is worse than an overly sauced drowned out roll.
You can also order items from the kitchen that comes out via a plate on a track that comes presented to your table side. Items on this menu can range anywhere from 6-10+ dollars. My favorite from this section was the orange salmon. It's almost identical to a similar favorite dish of mine at another restaurant here in Vegas but cheaper ($7). It's citrusy, fresh, and spot on so good it'll make you wanna "slap yo mama."
The experience is both fun and entertaining to order and allows you to get just the right amount of food you want without over eating. The only dish I don't think I was over fond of was the baked cod and soft shell crab. The crab was a little salty while the presentation was beautifully done, and for the baked cod it came out in this sort of mushy texture which was sort of strange despite the flavor still being pretty good.
Aside from these minor details though, the over all experience was amazing and I would definitely come back to try their scallops, ramen, or just stop by for some fresh sushi.
Staff were both informative and polite upon the moment we entered to the second we left, and the owner (Freddy) was extremely kind to our party and generous to us. We definitely plan to come back again in the near future for some more!
