Sapporo East — Restaurant in Hampden Township

I know restaurants can get busy on a Saturday night, especially Sapporo East. We had a larger (10+ people) party, had called ahead for seating, we were assured that a table would be ready at a certain time (they do not take reservations, per se). Everyone in our group brought their own alcohol, wine, beer whatever it was. We waited and waited and waited....

They didn't combine any tables to accommodate our group (though they easily could have), after about 45 minutes we even asked to be seated separately. At this point they had seated everyone else who came in after us, about 12 - 15 people. Basically they kept telling us to wait till another group (that was celebrating a birthday party) had left.

For the next thirty five minutes they kept telling us "that table will be open soon, they are leaving" despite the fact that there people pouring glasses of wine and chit chatting but not eating any food. My pregnant wife had a seat at the sushi bar after standing an hour+, and after 2 minutes the waitress came over and said she needed the seat my wife was sitting in. ARE YOU KIDDING ME SAPPORO EAST!? you cant sit us, now you want my pregnant wife's chair!? Finally having had enough our party left, as we were leaving the waitress kept begging us to wait, saying that the other table would be open soon HAHAHA!

In summary I was prepared to wait, but the staff was rude & made no attempt to...

Exceptional Sushi Experience at Sapporo East - A True Gem!

I can't speak highly enough of Sapporo East Sushi Restaurant - it has become a weekly ritual for my fiance and me, and sometimes we can't resist stopping by more often! From the moment we walk in, we are greeted by the amazing staff who make every visit memorable. In particular, the servers Ferry and Diane are simply outstanding - they have gone above and beyond to make us feel like part of the Sapporo family, always remembering our names and treating us with the utmost care and attention.

What truly sets Sapporo East apart is their exceptional sushi quality and inventive rolls. My fiance, who was never a sushi fan before, is now a convert thanks to the incredibly fresh fish and delicious rolls served here. Among our favorite sushi rolls that I highly recommend are the White Sand, Ray's Roll, and the Black Pearl - each one bursting with unique flavors that keep us coming back for more.

Every bite is a burst of flavor, and we always leave feeling completely satisfied. We have even made Sapporo East our go-to spot for double dates with friends, as the inviting atmosphere and top-notch service never disappoint. If you're looking for a sushi experience that exceeds expectations, look no further than Sapporo East. We give it five stars without hesitation - this place is a true gem that deserves all the...

Sapporo east is a cute little Japanese restaurant located right on the pike. The inside area is decorated to look mainly like bamboo, with the ceiling resembling a sushi mat. There are two main dining areas in the restaurant, with one side a little more private.

They do have sushi, hibachi, fried rice, and a few other things on the menu. This was a visit for international sushi day, so today was all about sushi. One of my friends said "wow this is probably the best spicy tuna roll I've ever had". Specialty rolls that I'd recommend are the Miami Spice Roll (the seared tuna on top makes it 10/10). The Aloha roll has yellowtail inside it that is seared to perfection. The orange flamingo and shrimp tempura were very tasty as well. For the simpler palatte, the japanese bagel roll and spicy tuna roll were great. For those who may want to share sushi and sashimi, they do make sushi boats with a variety of sushi and sashimi to share as well!

The service here is good, with multiple servers checking in on you from time to time. Our order did take very long to come out, however, the waiter was nice enough to give us a discount for any...
