Sapporo Ichibang — Restaurant in Greater Sudbury

In the past, this was my favorite sushi spot in town. Most recently, it is the only restaurant that I've ever returned food to the kitchen in my entire life (it's just not a thing I do). That being said, the staff was very understanding and discounted half the item from the bill, which they really didn't have to do.

As far as actual sushi & tempura are concerned, this restaurant ranks among the highest in Sudbury, the quality is much better than the all-you-can-eat places. Their ingredients are always fresh and delicious. One recommendation, DO NOT order the ramen.

I have enjoyed their Sushi Sashimi Dinner (19.95) a few times over the last year. I always phone in my order for pick up, as I like to make extra rice at home, (my sake is cheaper too!). I usually order it on a Saturday evening. Sometimes they are too busy to answer their phone so I have to call two or three times. Last night, I called three times with no answer. Hoping they weren't closed, I put my rice cooker on and walked the four blocks to Sapporo Ichibang. They certainly were busy when I arrived, but I was quite disappointed when I was told that they weren't accepting any orders for take out. At all!
