| - I've been coming here pretty regularly since the spring, so I like to think I've got a pretty good gauge of what you can expect.
In terms of service, the servers here do pretty well. The servers are attentive and will come by at frequent but not annoying intervals with water or queries about your meal. Also, if they get your order wrong or forget something (which has only happened once in all the meals I've had here), they'll apologize, correct the error, and possibly send you a little something extra in apology.
As for the food, there's no place better for a sushi fix. It's not even a contest. The sushi nigiri is pretty standard-- I highly recommend the binnaga, if only for that savory fried garlic topping, and the spicy hotate [scallop]... I make it a point to get this every time I go. Their sashimi cuts are very generous by any standards. I would recommend the Chirashi C sashimi option, which includes two pieces each of sake, hamachi, and unagi, as well as other accompanying elements. For rolls, the Hawaii roll particularly stands out, and the Blue Moonlight's pretty good.
Note: If the prices seem to be a little much, just think about how many kinds of fish you'll be getting. And if you can't make up your mind, go during happy hour, sit at the bar, and have one of the sushi chefs pick for you. The chefs are friendly and polite, and in these moments of indecision (to which I am prone), they'll ask about what you like and figure out what to serve you.
Their general attitude is right on par with the decor: warm, friendly, and bright. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Sapporos if you're in the mood for a non-casual, sushi-filled meal. It's not the end all, be all of sushi, but it's the best sushi you'll find near Scottsdale Airpark, hands down.
