Monterey Must-Eat: Sapporo Sushi & Steakhouse

✅After dining at countless restaurants in Monterey, if I had to recommend just one, it would be this hidden gem near Fisherman's Wharf! ✅ It perfectly blends the refinement of Japanese cuisine with generous American portions—all at an unbelievable value (we got 5 signature dishes for just over $100, and every bite was worth it!). 🐟 Must-Order: Fish Roe Rice Bowl This dish completely redefined my expectations for fish roe! 🥙Served in a sizzling stone pot, the moment the special sauce is poured over, the aroma and sound are downright hypnotic. 💫The magic lies in the five types of roe: orange salmon roe, deep-red cod roe, translucent smelt roe, and rare green seaweed roe (a Hokkaido specialty, per our server). 🍤 Other Standouts Salmon Sashimi: Cut as thick as a mini steak, with marbling like fine art. Shrimp Tempura Udon: The shrimp rivals an iPhone in length, 📷with a whisper-thin batter. Kids’ Sukiyaki Steak: Made with wagyu trimmings—so good our kid licked the plate clean #MontereyEats #JapaneseCuisine #SeafoodFeast
