I went there last Wednesday night. Actually before coming to this trendy/ hip sushi place I went to Kyoto. However, my favorite chef at Kyoto in Old town scottsdale was not there so I just left.
Sapporo is a hip and trendy place. I live in South bay California but I don't see this type of hip sushi joint in calif.
I didn't expect alot for this place. It's pricey. I sat at the sushi bar. I had asked for the sashimi combo. The typical stuff...salmon....red snapper....octopus....you know. the usual. It was ok. Not too bad but not that good either. Fish freshness is decent only. It costs about $24 before tax and tips. I don't think I will go back.
The sushi chef Darren is cool though
If your intent is to hang out and people watch....this is the place to be. For real sushi....i'd say kyoto is better
