If you are looking for a tasty grilled pork dish for a good price, then this is your place. It is on the 6th floor of the Sapporo Stellar Place, relatively easy to find. We came for an early dinner around 5:30pm on Thursday and it only took 5 mins to be seated. However the line quickly got bigger after we were seated but seemed to be moving fast. When you are ordering, you can order your meat to be cut smaller, bite size or not cut at all and you can also choose the amount of sauce. We chose extra sauce and regular bite sized cuts for our two orders. We ordered the Butadon with Two Parts topped with pork loin and belly, normal Butadon, and the pork miso soup with 1/2 boiled egg. Everything was packed with flavor and had relatively large portions. Both the pork loin and pork belly were very tender and had what seemed similar to teriyaki sauce flavor. The pork miso was very hearty as there were a good amount of vegetables, 1/2 a boiled egg and a bunch of pork (great deal for the miso, as it was only 280 yen). The service was also quick and efficient and they kept our water glasses full throughout the meal. They had an English menu and we received our food within 15 minutes of ordering. Definitely give this place a go when in the Sapporo Stellar Place Tower.

The restaurant is located on the lowest floor of Stellar Place shopping mall. The queue to enter was very long, and we had to wait for almost an hour. The restaurant only serves butadon, which is a bowl of warm rice topped with grilled pork slices, along with various side dishes such as miso soup and others. The portion of meat was exactly as shown in the menu—very generous, even overflowing from the rice bowl. The pork was tender and flavorful, grilled with a special sauce that was slightly sweet and savory, making it a perfect match with the warm white rice. As for the side dishes, the taste was quite standard. The miso soup, which contained vegetables and meat, was too oily, very different from the usual miso soup typically served with Japanese meals. The chilled tofu we ordered also tasted average.

One of the most memorable meals I've had in Japan. Went here twice during our five-day stay in Sapporo. First night, we tried the Butadon with Two Parts (Loin & Belly) together with the Salad and Ume Tofu. Everything about the Butadon was perfect. The pork tastes so clean that I didn't feel satiated at all. Each grain of rice was perfectly plump, and it paired so well with the BBQ pork. Second time we came here, we had the 1.5x meat option, and we loved it! This Butadon doesn't have the pork belly, so I highly recommend it to people who like lean meat. We also shared amongst us the Pork Miso soup with boiled egg, which was also really good and I'll definitely order one for myself next time we come here. ♥️

Bit of a wait to get in but nothing more than 15 minutes. They work through the line pretty quickly a long as you remembered to write your name on the waiting list (sheet of paper on the front of the store). The pork bowl was pretty good. The meat was tender and was cooked just right. The flavor was just right as well, you can taste the caramelization of the sauce and the slightly charred edges of the meat but it was just right in terms of saltiness and sweetness. Personally would have preferred a slightly stickier sauce so that it sticks to the meat more but really nothing to complain about. There is an English menu(check somewhere in the middle). The staff was efficient and friendly.

A fantastic butadon spot located in the Sapporo Underground Shopping Street! This restaurant specializes in butadon—grilled pork slices served over rice. The pork is roasted to perfection in a special house-made sauce, making it incredibly juicy, tender, and flavorful. You can customize your bowl by choosing the portion of pork, rice, and even the amount of sauce to suit your taste. One of the highlights of dining here is the open kitchen window, where you can watch the chef expertly grill your butadon over roaring flames. Their house soup is also a delightful addition to the meal. Definitely a must-visit for butadon lovers! 🍚🔥

Chef uses a hair-dryer to cook the meat. Quite hilarious at first but the meat turns out fine and juicy. Would be better with a little more sauce. Overall the food was good for it’s price. Would recommend anyone to visit this place. Waited for about 20 minutes for my seats during peak hours. No complaints. The bowl has nothing too spectacular but does it’s job to keep your belly warm and full. Good job Large array of butadon choices, less rice more meat slices etc. (Look at pictures for more details)! In summary, this shop literally gives you their hair dryer treatment. Love it and would come back again.
