recently visited Sapporo Japanese Restaurant and had a mixed experience. The service was fantastic, and the hibachi chef was entertaining, making the dining experience enjoyable. However, the food quality left much to be desired for the price.
My friend ordered chicken and beef, and while the hibachi cooking was fun, they mentioned the flavor was just okay—nothing special. The sushi, unfortunately, didn’t live up to the expectations given the restaurant’s location and pricing. It was mid-tier at best.
As for my order, I had the salmon and seabass hibachi. The salmon was just okay, but for the price point, I expected a much higher quality. The seabass, on the other hand, was inedible. I couldn’t even swallow one bite—it was that bad.
On a brighter note, the draft Heineken was perfect and refreshing.

Read moreMy girlfriend and I went here for a nice dinner while on vacation at their hibachi style grill. The service and atmosphere were great. It seemed to be a nice place for an upscale dinner. The chef we had was attentive, entertaining and overall great.
BUT, my girlfriend and I have been sick with what seems to be food poisoning for the last few days. After eating here we both got very upset stomachs, vomiting nausea and diarrhea.

It is a shame that something we ate here was bad because it would have been a great experience otherwise. This has been a miserable experience and it WILL negatively impact your travels or vacation if you get...
Read moreI was visiting Cairo and read this restaurant has the highest review rating, so I decided to go 2 straight days for dinner. Love it !
After ordering my first day both the Big Boss Roll and Dynamite Roll, I had to go back the next day and try different rolls and they didnt disappoint.
On my next day visit, I was welcomed by Asmaa. Her lively and welcoming attitude reinforced why I decided to come back. She was really nice, gave me suggestions and always came back to check on us how we are doing. Btw, thank you for being so nice with my 6yr old son. He enjoyed the experience as much as we did.
I ordered several different sushi rolls, and even sat at the hibachi table, where there was a lively presentation from Chef Karim preparing our food and my kids loved it. My server, Dalia was a treat. She was delightful and attentive and was always coming back to check on us.
Loved the attention to detail, love the food. I wouldnt hesistate to come back to Cairo just to enjoy this experience...
