96 Main St E, Hamilton, ON L8N 1G3, Canada
Come visit Hamilton’s oldest all-you-can-eat Japanese Food Restaurant! Sapporo will not disappoint you. With a wide selection of sushi, maki, sashimi, tempura and grilled and fried Japanese food, there is something for everyone.
Everything was very good and delicious. The sushi was fresh, and the service was great. Highly recommend!
I hadn't been since prior to covid outbreaks 2020.. so I treated myself to the all you can eat and it was all very delicious, highky recommend it.. Fast friendly service..
This dish is very appetizing as soon as it is served. It has a rich aroma and is very tempting. The taste is very crispy and tender, refreshing and smooth. The rich sauce wraps the ingredients, and the sauce fills the mouth when you bite it down. Moreover, the material is very fresh, the amount given is also sufficient, and the cost performance is super high. I will definitely come again next time I have a chance. 2. The environment of this restaurant is very good, very clean and tidy. The food is not only beautiful in appearance, but the important thing is that the taste is very good, and the color and taste are excellent. The cooking method retains the original taste of the ingredients, which is fresh and refreshing. And there are a lot of dishes to choose from, and the price is not high, which is suitable for taking your family with you. 3. The taste is excellent, and it makes people feel very appetizing at first glance, but the amount is not large, and it belongs to the relatively exquisite type. The dishes are also very fresh, the taste is moderately salty and light, and the heat is just right. The food is served very quickly. That is, the dining environment still needs to be improved, but the price is very affordable. Basically, I will come once in a while.
I have been going to this establishment for more than two years. I liked everything here, but lately they have been very lazy to make normal sushi. The last two orders I made this month were very bad. They turned out semi-sushi, not even sushi.Also, when I ordered a drink and a cocktail, I ate sushi and after 40 minutes it was brought to me. After I finished my sushi, they brought me a cocktail. But I already had to order sushi againlook at the size of the sushi, what they made, they are less than one dollar, but this is completely there, there are almost no portions in the middle, empty, almost small
Ordered, couple sushi rolls that were good but other than that the meal was terrible. Shrimp pad Thai was made with ketchup, the ramen and udon were so bland.
This place is nice overall, with good food and reasonable pricing. However, I wasn't impressed with the soft shell crab—it was deep-fried but excessively oily, which made me feel nauseous. The fried rice was also quite bland. On the positive side, the starters were good.
I was in Hamilton recently, visiting a friend from out of town. We were both unfamiliar with what Hamilton has to offer so we just drove around looking for lunch until something caught our eye. Restaurants seemed to be few and far between in the area we were in but we eventually came across Sapporo Japanese & Thai Restaurant. Although we were hungry, we opted for their a la carte menu, rather than their AYCE Sushi. We ordered Spicy Basil Beef and Thai Curry Chicken. Both dishes were very reasonably priced at $10.00 and $12.00, including rice. Pretty good deal! The flavours were actually quite good and the portions were more than reasonable. We fished it ALL, with my friend even asking for more rice. She really enjoyed it! With good food and friendly service, check this place out if you're in downtown Hamilton.
Excellent food, I came with my daughter and we loved everything we tried. This place is a hidden gem, I'm shocked it's not packed at every hour of operation, great food speaks for itself I suppose. Can't say it enough, fantastic food, my all time favorite sushi restaurant now!
They forgot my udon
Very nice place, friendly service, amazing food. I enjoyed so much here. Will 100% be back next time. Great job guys
Waitress with red hair stared at us eating the entire time without breaking eye contact... very uncomfortable
I went to here yesterday had all-you-can-eat dinner, the food was amazing and fast serving. The only thing is it was kind of slow for refilling my drink. The server brings me in was a girl Ana always impressive how fast she is.
I order from here often and always enjoy the food. They helped me with my issue. I really appreciate it! Ill come again Food
Went for lunch the other day, food was good, nothing fancy or over the top, though the shrimp tempura batter to shrimp ratio was a little heavy on the tempura side. The fish rolls were tasty and excellent salmon roses. Easy to order with the iPad. Service was excellent, our water cups were never dry. There s parking but not a big lot and it s shared with other businesses. Would recommend to others and go again.
Really good, really fresh, reasonable prices,
The food & service are 10/10. The staff are always very friendly & the food is very fresh. They have some of the best flavoured dumplings I ve had at an AYCE. They have unique sauces not just mayo with each option one is a really tasty creamy dill sauce with the chicken wings. The fried steamed buns are the chefs kiss.
Ive been here twice now, so I wanted to leave a review. My husband doesnt care for seafood, and Im incredibly grateful theres non seafood options that taste equally delicious. Gave us a chance to rotate between ordering things for myself, and him. Sooooo good! The food is delicious, the service is fast and super friendly. Thank you to the lady that made my husband learner chopsticks, when you saw him struggling. It was very sweet and helpful
Food is always good, service is always great. We come here 3 times a month
If you want to have a great night with your friends and family with great food that doesnt cost you a arm and a leg then Sapporos is for you.. The food selection is vast array of fish and meats that will slap all your senses till it lulls you into a food coma. Cant go wrong with all you can eat authentic Japanese sushi Also I have to mention the staff and the chefs. Their incredible kindness and energy is unmatched. Ive never felt so welcome at a restaurant. Five stars and well deserved, Bravo!!
This place is amazing, food is always fresh, service is the best. Very well managed and organized. Ill be back soon. Highly recommend
Great service. One of the best sushi in Hamilton Food
Friendly environment and delicious food.
Friendly environment and best food
The food was so delicious, and also servers were so kind and humble.
The food was very delicious specially spicy crispy roll which was suggested by a server. Thank you Sapporo.
not tooo bad But far to best Food
I recently visited this Japanese restaurants buffet, and I have to say the experience was extremely disappointing. First off, the variety of food was incredibly limited nowhere near what youd expect from a buffet. The sushi selection was basic and uninspired. For example, the salmon sushi had very thin slices of fish, which lacked freshness and had a slight fishy taste. The rice was poorly made too wet and sticky, and it didnt have the proper flavor or texture. The sushi station also wasn t replenished quickly enough, and once the fresh pieces were gone, there was no prompt replacement. The sashimi was equally disappointing, with only three or four options, and the quality was subpar. The fish lacked the fresh, delicate flavor that you expect from good sashimi it felt like it had been sitting out for too long and was a bit mushy. As for the hot dishes, they were even worse. Many of them appeared to have been sitting out for a long time. The tempura, for example, looked golden and crispy at first glance, but when I bit into it, it was soggy and lacked any crispiness at all. The batter was overly thick, and the texture was just wrong. The fried chicken was equally disappointing greasy and dry inside, with no crispness. Other dishes, like the eel rice and various stir-fries, were bland and unremarkable, and some of the food looked like it had been left out too long, losing its freshness and flavor. The service was another major issue, especially with the front desk staff member named David. His attitude was unprofessional and quite off-putting. When we first arrived, he didn t greet us with a smile or even acknowledge us warmly. He was preoccupied with his computer and barely looked up to check us in. The entire check-in process felt rushed and impersonal. Throughout the meal, whenever we had questions about the buffet or needed assistance, he was short with us and didn t seem interested in helping at all. His responses were curt, and he came across as annoyed that we were even asking for help. Additionally, the restaurant s cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The tables were not cleaned properly, and there was food debris on the floor. The staff seemed indifferent to the mess, which made the overall atmosphere feel unkempt. The dining area didn t look well-maintained, and it was uncomfortable to sit in a space that felt a little dirty. Finally, the replenishment of food was extremely slow. A buffet should offer fresh food regularly, but here, the food stations were often empty or only partially filled. I had to wait for a long time for new items to be brought out, and some items, like sushi and hot dishes, were left to sit too long before being replaced. Overall, this was a very disappointing buffet experience. The food quality was poor, the selection was limited, the service was lackluster, and the restaurant s cleanliness was subpar. For the price, it was not worth it at all. If youre looking for a good Japanese buffet experience, I would strongly recommend avoiding this place.
Overall it was a good restaurant. Would recommend spicy salmon rolls
Decent sushi overall
What happened to this place? We ve been clients for more than 20 years. Pick up order: Next to no wasabi & sliced ginger for 18 pcs of sushi. Very cold tempura shrimp. Tough chewy sirloin. Pad thai recipe has taken a turn for the worse as well as being cold & mushy. Spring rolls were ok. Called them and didn t even get an apology, refused to deliver some wasabi & ginger. (Offered a $5.00 discount on next order instead). Had to go back to pick it up. Never again. Don t bother with this place folks, it s recently gone way down hill. Highly suggest August 8 or any other sushi place but not Supporo!
Have been coming here for years and always very good!
Good food & customer service
Very good customer service, David is the best
Mid. Did not finish the sushi, not fresh
Heres the English translation of your revised text: I was there once. Unfortunately, mostly for those who order online. I want to say that the man there even uses the same cloth he cleans his shoes with to clean the edges of the dishes. I haven t said anything there anymore, and I won t order from that restaurant again. Its a very dirty restaurant, especially the man in charge of their online orders. He is a very disorganized and filthy person. I was really disappointed when I saw him using the same cloth he wiped his shoes with to clean the edge of the dishes.
recently visited this plece and was thoroughly impressed. The sushi was incredibly fresh, and the presentation was flawless. The atmosphere is warm and authentic, with attentive staff who made sure we had everything we needed. The variety on the menu is excellent, and the flavors are true to traditional Japanese cuisine. Highly recommend the tempura and ramen simply delightful!
The food is really good My favorite restaurant in Hamilton
Food was delicious. Waitress was pleasant.
Friendly staff and great food
Today is a friends birthday. I saw an event saying that I would go with four people. The birthday person can go for free. However, including our birthday friends, there are only four people in total. After we arrived and talked to the staff, the staff was also very helpful. They were friendly and helpful in coordinating, and the taste is as delicious as ever. I really recommend it to everyone.
Whether dining in or picking up the food is consistently exceptional.
VERY SATISFYING CUSTOMERS
good food with good server.
Very good taste and I extremely love the beef fired rice. I like the server whos name is sky, really good man
Bad fish quality and the service is similar to that of buffet style restaurant, never there when you need something and my server forgot my drink order
Great food good service nice staff members good presentation i cannot recommend this restaurant enough
Love this restaurant everytime! Been to many all you can eats and this one is for sure the best.
Lovely place, great good with a great price. Loved the Ruby sushi set
Good sushi, good price. Got takeout for a platter of 38 pieces, $39, which seemed decent. Would go again!

Good customer service, kind servers, and amazing food.
Amazing service and great food, if you love all you can eat sushi this is the place to go to :)
The best sushi in the area. A great place to visit when you get a chance.
Amazing food and service
One of the best places to get sushi in Hamilton
DONT GO TO THIS PLACE So disappointed. The food is gross. We ordered the sashimi set, and all the fish is frozen(the tuna even have ice on it )and it have a strong fishy smell which is disgusting. The soy sauce tastes much lighter than it should be(we guess it mix with water), and wasabi is already a bit yellow and black when it came. Just do not go!
First time eating a Bento box, really well made
We tried all the sushi places in town. All the other places seem to be lack luster. We have always been quite happy after a good meal from Sapporos.the pieces are much larger there. Theyre menu variety is so much better then everyone elses around the city.
Fantastic food, service and peaceful smaller but beautifully kept restaurant with style. Incredible staff. Vegetarian options: Absolutely vegetarian friendly options :) try the cheese wontons, delightful. Dietary restrictions: Many options to choose from. Parking: Lots of parking. Kid-friendliness: If well behaved this would be good for children. Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps on sidewalks, door is flush with sidewalk but there will be a turn and another door.
My favourite all you can eat sushi restaurant! Always very fresh, great service, and very fast!
A relaxing establishment with some nice food, the music is a bit too loud though.
Always delicious and amazing service. Sapporo is my go to place for sushi!!
Amazing sushi and great service from Ria, best server!!!!
Great food and friendly service from all the staff members
Worst food I ever ordered on Uber. All but a salad went straight to the green bin. Really disappointed.
very good, amazing sushi place
Awesome sushi place, I really enjoyed here. Very good customer service.
Very nice place and amazing customer service.
Bust sushi place, David is the best
Enjoyable meal, very clean, bathrooms as well. Service was fine too, good parking
Absolutely wonderful dining experience. The sashimi s very fresh and tasty. Torched sushi and tempura calamari recommended. Service was quick and prompt. Last visit was in 2020 during Covid. Been missing the food for four years and it turned out to be as great as before. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Washroom was clean as well.
Very good sushi friendly staff.
ALL TIME FAV SUSHI PLACE. Delicious and always so fresh
Very bad service the manager who is in shirt is always rude to the customers
The food is mediocre, decent but not as fresh as the regular place I go to. I also found a short black hair on my plate. Id suggest hair nets for the future. The wait staff was so quiet I could barely understand what they were saying. Dont be shy ladies! Vegetarian options: Futo maki
Lots of tiny bones in the chicken fried rice. Crab meat tasted awful. Water glasses were dirty. Forgot my appetizer and it took about 40 minutes to come out. The drinks were yummy. Sushi rolls are really large and hard to eat lol. The price for everything was really good though. The veg tempura roll was yummy. Pretty much no customer service :P
Great food/selection and awesome wait staff. I would eat there every day if I could afford it
I had my favourite meal from this restaurant and the service was given by David as a manager and Riya as a server. I loved it the most. Thank you BY Adi
Why is the guy at the front desk blowing his nose, coughing in his hands and then packing away my food? Please wash your hands!
Best tasting California roll in years. Home-made wontons were great. Food
Good food, nice place, was there a few weeks ago. Experience marred only by a grubby-looking employee (tall thin young man) dressed in a tshirt and track pants, helping out on the floor. Totally inappropriate clothing for a nice place like this, he looked like he was dressed for lounging at home. Staff should be appropriately dressed. Easy to fix!
Amazing staff so fast and polite! Red Thai noodles not so good. Everything else is amazing !
Try the all-you-can-eat lunch. There is no sashimi in the all-you-can-eat lunch, but there are still nigiri sushi and hand rolls. The quality of sushi is similar to other all-you-can-eat restaurants nearby, but the cooked food here is generally delicious. A small demerit point is that the takoyaki is very authentic and there are few dim sum choices, but the overall flaws are not hidden and it is a place worth coming to.
Food and service was great! Although when we walked in, it took about a good 5 minutes before we were even acknowledged to be seated... The atmosphere is a bit crowded with no much private setting... Its like a cafeteria... Needless to say sushi was great and fresh! Will come back for sure.
To good old times. Can t believe it s been 10 years.
The best atmosphere and food is so fresh! Highly recommended
Bento box reasonably priced for the size shown. Food quality is good. Parking is limited.
Really good for all you can eat. Staff were nice and prompt. Sushi was tasty with lots of options.
Great food, great service, family friendly
Everytime I order from here it is always amazing my go to for sushi thats for sure
Even 1 star it s a lot. They switch my order cause they didn t have my meal without letting me know. I puked after eating their beef noodles. Bad !
Pretty good. Pricey. Two AYCE with no drinks will cost you $100. Cool building.
Ive been to Sapporo Japanese&Thai Restaurant a few times now and they are excellent. I wish I lived in Hamilton to be able to enjoy their very broad menu more frequently. Im most impressed with their menu system, fast food preparation and the kindness of their staff.
I would give them 10 stars if I could, Sapporo is our go to sushi place! Always fresh, tasty selections and amazing sashimi!! This place is a must if you re a sushi lover!!
Been going here for years! Wonderful service and lovely atmosphere. Definitely would recommend! Updated dishes and very good food
This used to be a good sushi restaurant.. been there many times before, but this time it has disappointed me big time. Taste and quality both have dropped.. need to improve. Parking: Few parking spots available, generally its full.
A little expensive for what you get
We always go to Sapporo to celebrate birthdays or whenever we miss having sushi. Weve been going here for years. Its a convenient location downtown close to everything. The food is consistently excellent quality- freshly made, tasty. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I absolutely love Sapporo
Hands down to best sushi
Hand down one of the best places to get fresh well made sushi.
My go to sushi spot to order when ordering door dash
Kid-friendliness: Happy to have kids Food
Please make sushi bite size pieces...... nobody likes sushi too big!!
This place use to be great but it s rapidly gone down hill. Ordered take out and the wasabi was brown, dry and clumpy. Ate in the restaurant recently and it s really dirty and the service is horrible where you are hardly acknowledged. Some of the food tasted old and slimy so couldn t even bear to eat it.
The food is great. There was no sake though. Apart from that, I love this place!
I ordered the salmon sushi pizza and was so disappointed The salmon was mushy , like it had been frozen and thawed out....it was disgusting The chicken teriyaki was so bland it reminded me of something my grandmother made. I mean the prices are good but, you get what you pay for !
First time here. It was yummy but a little over priced for what it is.
Such an annoying place. the food is always served late. Also I have seen many pick up person from door dash and uber wait for 30 to 40 mins for pick up. Such a slow restaurant. Need better management.
Wow this gem has such fresh fish I didn t need the rice. A La Carte was our route, but also serving all you can. Everything was delicious and well put together for a beautiful display. The soups are $5 and under. Loved this place! Kind friendly staff and clean restaurant thank you
I have regularly ordered from Sapporo for the last decade and it has almost always met or surpassed expectations for delivery, let alone sushi. My daughter has adored their gyoza since she was 5 (is now 9), and can slay 3 orders of them these days. Whenever there has been an issue, they have always made it up to us. Albeit, at some level of persistence of my own. Thank you Sapporo! Even if it was cold, it tasted good with the Sapporo beer.
Without a doubt, my favourite sushi place. Awesome atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.
Very traditional sushi restaurant
What a terrible place.If you pay 15%tip,they will yelling and thy want you to pay more.
All you can eat lunch was delicious!
The sushi was very good for all you can eat. The presentation was great as well. Highly recommend especially when compared to competitors in the Brantford area. I would say its worth the extra drive to go here then anywhere else in Brantford or Hamilton for all ylu can eat sushi.
always wonderful service here but mark was outstanding. he made our experience very enjoyable. the food is great too <3
This is my familys favourite Sushi spot in Hamilton! We have a variety of sushi flavours between all of us - from vegan/vegetarian to fish and raw fish. Everything we get here is always delicious! The food is always fresh, and there is never an error with our order. Very large menu too so something for everyone in our family (who has vegan, vegetarian, regular diet & gluten free diet).
Great restaurant. Quick, polite service and great food. Lots of vegetarian options. Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie rolls. Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegetarian options.
Service was great! The food was ok. The roll selection wasnt great and the short ribs lacked flavour. Their stir fried food was pretty good and the steak was delicious.
My favourite sushi restaurant in the city! Love it. Ive been here 5+ times, it never disappoints!
The manager/ owner (man always sharply dressed and behind the bar area ) is so hard working! Keep up the great work !
Just a wonderful experience
Yummy food, I loved whatever I ordered from the menu. It s a nice cozy casual restaurant.
Great food with great value.
Love sushi
The service was good and fast Number of options was limited comparing with other AYCEs I have been to. The quality of the sushi was not promising! It s definitely not the best in Hamilton.
Excellent
Bang for your buck! Sashimi and sushi always fresh here!
The best sushi downtown
Fantastic service wasnt too busy food came out fast,went again was great
Some items ordered never arrived at our table.
Great place for dine in or takeout. I prefer take-out and have only been mildly disappointed once. After that, I said nothing and tried another time, and my food was perfect. Since that incident, I have eaten here over 10 other times. Never once been disappointed. Might I add even the disappointment was one tiny piece of meat was too fatty. To repeat my statement, I have had nothing but great experience. The bento boxes are my absolute favorite for lots of diversity in your meal. Portions are excellent for the pricing. I am always full to the max, and I am over 6 feet and over 200lbs athletic build. Try them and you will mot be disappointed.
Love it
Great food, attentive helpful staff, excellent Diamond Bento Box. Nice environment, clean. We will be back! Food
The AYCE sushi is amazing! Quality food and quality service! Some items were missing, but it was quite filling! Will go again, 10/10
This was my first visit here. I have been to a good number of Ayce Japanese places. Everything here was really, really good. Parking: Based on other reviews, I felt fortunate to get a good spot in their lot. That started my visit off on the right foot.
Been twice now. Excellent quality and variety of food. Service has also been great. Parking: Parking outside the restaurant
They have really good sushi
Great sushi and we really enjoyed the food and friendly service
Went here about a month ago and I Ive got to say its one of the best if not the best all you can eat Japanese place that Ive been to, they have a ton of variety such as Rolls, Salad, ice cream, Cake, ect. Definitely make me full.
We have been to the restaurant many times. The food is always good and seems fresh. At times the service is slow. We also enjoy food delivery from this restaurant, however they hardly ever deliver on the time promised.
