Sapporo Ramen & Grill in Midland

The Gyoza Soup was fantastic!! I ll be back!! Food

We go once a week! Staff is wonderful! Food is consistent & the restaurant is clean! It is pricey... or we would go more often!

The food i was so good

The best attention and service from the staff, incredible people. They brought us several desserts on the house! They ve earned a new regular customer.

$80 all you can eat for 2 people at dinner and they skimp out on everything. Just go somewhere else.

Yummy options, really friendly staff, all you can eat had a great variety of options- more than most offerings like that... Sushi was perfect... Even things we were not excited about were eaten... We are picky and that says allot!

Outstanding overall!!

Great food. Service is wonderful!

I got hibachi chicken and it came out cold. I didnt know what to say when i got it so i ate half of it and got violently sick later that night. Dont come here for your safety

Had a spicy tuna roll delivered and it was some type of ground up flavorless mush. I figured I would use the wasabi to spice it up a little....wrong. The wasabi was bland, except for the chemical taste with none of the hit you expect from it. I was left utterly disappointed and still hungry because I couldnt eat the stuff. I have no idea how they have such high ratings, I literally couldnt eat it.

Excellent dinner menu, private booth, attentive friendly staff

I came with my parends and it was our first time eating here, but it was delicious. Everything was so fresh, and it came out pretty quick. I will come back again soon.

Went back to give it another shot after I said I wouldnt. Dining area was hot, (80 degrees +) sat down for 13mins with an empty restaurant without drink order being taken. Definitely under staffed. Didnt wait around to try the food.

Did the all u can eat and it was rlly good! Just finish what u eat but delicious and amazing service

I liked it. The all you can eat thing was confusing and the waitress talked really fast, and it didnt make any sense. So definitely didnt get it mainly cause it didnt make sense and it was pricey. She said something like if you over order and dont eat it all you pay more. Was like thats weird. I dont like sushi but my wife did so this place really wasnt for me.

The all you can eat will put you in a coma! Very good!

So, Sapporo is doing an all you can eat on Hibachi & Sushi. When making your selection for Hibachi, it says chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon, or vegetable. At MOST hibachi restaurants you can order a combination but at Sapporo you can only order it individually. Heres the catch, each individual order comes with fried rice and vegetables therfore you end up with double or triple orders of rice and veggies. Then theyll charge you for waste if you dont eat the extra items. I wanted to leave but my hubby had a taste for sushi. The food overall was decent. Pros: good egg drop soup, our waiter Edwin was GREAT! It wasnt busy. Cons: no flexibility with menu items (all you can eat menu), the manager has a very poor attitude, the seaweed used inside of the sushi was rubbery, the chicken in the hibachi was very dry and inedible.

Do not order rolls from this place. They did not taste right and afraid what I m going to feel like later tonight. If you do not hold your nose to eat them they will charge you extra

We really love thos place. It is one of only two places where we trust to ha e fresh sushi every time we come. Plus they have an all you can eat option. You are limited on how much you order per round, but its not made until you order.you can order as many rounds as you would like. This includes appetizers, sushi, the grill, dessert... Its great food at a very good value

Everything is good, the atmosphere, the service and the food.

We did the all you can eat. I was pleasantly surprised! Delicious and good value if you have a big appetite.

Absolutely amazing all you can eat sushi! As good as any big city!

Horrible service waited 25 minutes to get our food , waitress was really unprofessional asked for a manager and waitress just called another waitress. Don t waste your money here

Mostly paid bot comments to boost reviews, please dont eat here it is so bad. The ramen smelled not edible to everyone at the table. The hostess(manager) fought me on me asking for them to bring the ramen back for a refund. She was very very aggressive instantly and only gave a 40% discount on the ramen that i could barely choke down a tiny bit of. The back kitchen coughed after smelling it when they finally took it back. It was super nasty food and super nasty service and there was barely any service. I could barely call the stuff they had food, the udon was over cooked and slimy, sushi was hard and not fresh at all. Every ingredient used was either frozen, almost expired, or just barely edible. They use bot reviews to boost their business and everyone that went to eat there was disgusted at their food. Please go anywhere else to eat

I don t know why this place has such a high rating, either they paid for bot reviews, people in Midland just never had access to other Japanese places to compare to, or there was a recent change in management. The food was mid, the ramen I ordered was overcooked. The service and atmosphere were very strange, the person who served our food looked inexperienced. My friend tried returning his miso soup since it smelled terrible and the manager tried to fight him on it, saying that she wasn t sure why he had a problem with it since it was a popular item. We caught one of the people in the back take a sniff and make a face of disgust. Terrible everything, don t trust the non-specific good reviews.

Tiny portions. Flavorless sushi. Extremely limited, basic options for all you can eat sushi. Save your time and money.

The audacity of this restaurant to try and measure my child to see what she will be charged to eat is insane!!! You deserve to be shut down. Kid-friendliness: This is not a kid friendly restaurant and I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The food portioning don t match with the price.. My in laws went there to try the food for the first time but it s not worth it

Horrible experience ordered lunch special and I got portions small enough to starve a gerble .not even 2 spoonfuls of rice unacceptable use to be favorite place to go now will no longer come here and will warn future customers not to waste money on snack portion food

I wouldn t order anything you are not absolutely sure you will like here. It doesn t matter if you end up being allergic to one of the ingredients they absolutely will not refund you for it. Food was very bland and I could ve had better at Chinese takeout

Our new go to place for sushi and Chinese food. Service is always on point and the sushi is made and served fresh.

Not what we expected but Dr Pepper tasted very good Steak is very small pieces And miso ramen didn t have flavor to me

Been twice, both times the hostess had great energy. My servers both times were patient as we explored the menu and very quick with our orders.

Food and experience was amazing! My only complaint is that it was a little pricey, but for the experience my fiancé and I had, its definitely worth the price!

Flavorless sushi. Absolutely no spice on the Dancing shrimp roll. For a roll to have a red pepper by it on the menu to be flavorless is just sad.

Great sashimi!

First time going. Excellent place to enjoy delicious sushi.

Use to love eating here haven t been back since they started advertising all you can eat sushi. I love the miso ramen with chicken but now that has been completely removed from the menu and it s nothing but sushi and all you can eat is $30 per person and every one at the table has to order it to get it. Won t be coming back if you love sushi it s an ok place but I love d the ramen selection and the hot place am Not a huge sushi fan and I certainly won t be paying $30 for it either. Also the drinks are nearly $4 per person and I still had to pay for that even though I chose not to eat there cause they didn t have the miso ramen.

Horrible place, not a hair came out of the sushi and we also talked, we told the manager and she wanted us to pay the full amount, they told me that the hair was not theirs, terrible service

The food is very bad, dont eat there, there was hair in my food.

Good food and peoples!!

The food taste under cooked the eggs smelled bad way too much seasoning on everything they also took forever to give us our food when we go it our food was cold

Nicely decorated. The waitress got busy with her own family during our visit. We ordered the bowls of Raman. I had cowboy ramen meat loaded with fat and broth that smelled stale. Cant remember what the name of the soup my daughter ordered, but she didnt like it either. We asked for the check when we had full bowls of ramen, only asked if we wanted to go, we answered no. They did not ask if anything was wrong with the food. Will not be going back there.

Waitstaff and atmosphere was great but food was expensive for how bland it was.

Our server rushed us to order and had a bad attitude. The noodles were over cooked and the broth was greasy and tasteless. Don t know why it has so many good reviews.

It was decent meal and atmosphere was nice.

Dinner was great! Had the fried gyoza and the spicy chicken ramen and it was delicious. Our waitress, Aileen, was great too. It was a bit pricey but worth it. The kids loved the boba tea and the Japanese Sprite drinks.

My family and I had a great time, and the food was so delicious and the service was great all in all great experience. Kid-friendliness: Yes, they have children friendly menu

This was the worst food Ibe ever had in my life. I ordered egg roll, gyoza, and ramen. Only the gyoza was edible. I didnt eat more of a bite. I dont know if it went bad or what. Do not get the egg rolls or ramen. Also, it was $40

Very delicious food. Its a great place for some Ramen

Wonderful food clean great staff!

food nasty asl dont come

I traveled 4 hours for this and was not disappointed. I wish I could pack this place up and move it to Stephenville

The restaurant is always clean, the staff is friendly, and the food rocks! I take all my friends here on lunch, and they always leave happy and full.

favorite spot around for some ramen. staff is always up to par

Ramen was tasty but 2 little slices of tonkatsu was pretty stingy - particular for the price!

Me and my husband started going to this place right before COVID hit. The owner Lilly and her husband were always very welcoming and nice. They always gave us good recommendations on what to get. To this day I still love going there! The staff is always nice and welcoming! Devil ramen is my absolute go to! Spicy edamame is amazing as well. If you get the sake ask them to add some Chambord to it. DELICIOUS! I finish off with a taro boba tea! Amazing ramen place!

One of the hidden gems in Midland. The ramen here is some of my favorite and the other food they serve is great too.

Great atmosphere, and the Devils Ramen is superb!

Definitely one of my favorite date night places... their black tonkatsu is my favorite hubby had spicy miso this time. There cocktails are fresh and delicious

We were excited to eat there for the second time then when we left our credit card provider let us know there was foloniest charges on our credit card ! Coincidence? I dont think so ! We wont go back ever again ! Be careful with your credit card usage there !

The food is good. The service is kinda weird, when you have children taking your order it feels a little strange. Seems a little understaffed but never had a bad dish.

Delicious Ramen

Weird place. Went for dinner but was told there was a 15 minute wait despite half the tables being empty in both the bar area and main restaurant.

Food here was over-priced before. Now with the buffet its more complicated, less flavor, and the staff is disorganized with your orders.

The place was mostly empty, but they told us that itd be a 15-20 minute wait. Not sure whats going on in this place, but they obviously shouldnt be open.

Great place to try different sushi! Crab ragoons were delicious! Shrimp tempura on point and Dancing shrimp roll was my favorite, and all the other ones too

Service was terrible, food was average.

We went there for lunch and it was great! The buffet is $20 ($30 if you go for dinner) And included a lot of options, including sushi, ramen, spring rolls and more! The buffet works on 3 course ordering system; your table orders at the same time, and selects everything that they would like brought out for the first course. Then after they receive their food, they are then allowed to order a second course. The portions are smaller than normal to facilitate better accuracy of ordering, and hopefully so that people dont over order. BE AWARE: They have on their menu that they can charge you for any leftovers you have, without prior notice. The server explained it was just if you essentially ordered food and didnt touch it, but it was still a little daunting, and made us really consider what we could eat. That being said, the courses created a natural rhythm to our meal, allowing us to eat and have some time to talk before we got more food; it also meant that we ate exactly as much as we wanted. overall, a great experience, if a little bit too pricey to make it a regular occurrence for our household.

Went for my bday today had all you can eat. Tried everything on the menu. Crab Ragoon and Eggrolls were the only things edible. Everything else was sooo bland. Didnt walk out full. Service was slow, every employee was paying more attention to eachother than customers, and couldnt understand most of them. Was charged 30 dollars ea plus another 30 for uneatten food which wasnt explained to us. Wont ever go to this place again.

Great sushi, fresh, and delicious! They were right to rebrand and remodel. I have been 3 times over the last month and there is a slight unsavory stench and permeates the establishment and i think its here to stay, it could be that they maybe make their own bone broth for the ramen; in house but the food and service is great!

They have a nice and welcoming staffband their sushi is quite stellar to be honest.

Food was cold ( soup ) and Sushi had no flavor and had a plastic taste to it.

Was excited about trying this place out but I guess not. Their website and google both show them open from 11-9. Not true. I showed up at 3 and was told they re closed until 430. So much for good service. Won t be back.

They are all so friendly

The ramen menu has changed drastically, only offering 2 types of ramen much to choose from like before.

Had some great food. Friendly staff.

Got ramen and was missing almost everything the info said was in it. No tofu, no seaweed. Didn t ask for corn.

Really wonderful food! I had the Devils Ramen, fairly spicy, the beef was perfect, and the noodles tasted like they were made in-house. Also sampled the chicken teriyaki, which was spot-on. Absolutely recommend this place!

Spicy dumpling soup is my favorite. The place is remodeled and service is great. Clean bathrooms and restaurant for sure.

Food was great. Definitely going back for more.

Really good service, really good food : )

A hidden gem in Midland TX, food was delicious. Service was great. Something I cant say of a lot of places here. YOU DEFINITELY HAVE TO EAT HERE!

We have been here twice and both times the food and service have been outstanding. Highly recommend.

The most basic thing should be that your food pics on your menu match the actual food you serve, otherwise its FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. We came here for dinner last night and it was such a disappointment. When i got my order I told the waitress that I didn t want it because it didn t look like the pic on her menu and all she said was that it look d different because it was not spicy. She didn t apologize nor offer to replace it with something else or ask if I wanted something else. When we were done she brought the check and charged me for the order that I didn t even touch. I don t like being rude nor difficult so i paid and left, but we will never return to this restaurant.

Definitely

Oh brother the food is not good

Nice food very kind staff, and food transparency via u see the food being made fresh.

The chicken fried and their strawberry tea Boba was soooo delicious

Fantastic food, great atmosphere, our waitress was very helpful

Fantastic food! The wait staff were very froas well

Got ramen and it tasted like dirty dish water definitely better ramen places in midland

The food here is amazing! I love that they have vegan options. I wish the service would have been a little better but the vegan/vegetarian options will definitely make up for the poor service.

Great food, large portions, great ambiance, great service.

Delicious food!!

We love this place. Staff is friendly, the noodles are delicious, and the atmosphere is nice and chill. Theyre consistent with food quality and usually dont have to wait too long for our order. Always clean, and always great customer service.

The hostess here are always rude and never smile. They re always on their phone and it takes them forever to get your food rdy

We ordered veggie ramen Yaki and it looks like they were prepared with fish sauce because we could smell something weird since we are hard core vegetarians. Either the food is stale or cooked in fish sauce. When we could not eat more than a spoon of the ramen and told the waitress about it she was not willing to accept and cancel the order. The waitresses are also pretty rude and have no etiquette to serve the dishes. They spill the food and drinks while placing them on the table. Would not come here again.

Such a nice place and food is always on point

The Raman was wonderful with great flavor. It was very nice and quiet. The servers were very attentive.

Yummy

Food is great!! Servers are very nice! Never had a bad experience here! Always leave here full and happy!

Update: Very consistent. Theyve added beef ramen in beef broth to the menu. Its now their richest broth, the beef is flavorful and tender, though Id say chashu pork is still the more decadent meat option-- you can mix and match! ---- If you want the richest broth get the Black Tonkatsu-- it started out tasty and fairly full-flavored before picking up the flavors of the added ingredients until very rich and in perfect balance, not overly salty. You WILL want to drink it at the end vs some places where its either loaded with salt up front or youre tempted to add soy sauce for flavor making it too salty to drink later. This Ramen needed no tweaking. Owner Lilly says the broths are made in-house, taking 10 hours to develop their flavors, and it shows. The egg was marinated in something delicious and cooked perfectly so the yolk is still gelatinous and translucent with corresponding flavor. The Chashu Pork itself had great flavor and texture, with silky, mellow edge fat. I dont know the Japanese word for al dente but the noodles were precisely that and softened a bit as they soaked. I read this is as it should be, and regardless it suits my preference. The BBQ Pork Bun was steamed into a delicately elastic blanket holding deliciously sauced, tender pork with cool cucumber and dark, crisp spring mix to counter. Even the Mochi Ice Cream (I had green tea and mango) was of noticably high quality. The mochi dough was soft and stretchy and fresh in taste-- clearly well kept --and the ice cream inside had an intense and genuine character of its respective flavor. The green tea ice cream was dark and clearly a matcha-based product with all the herbal depth and a hint of tea tannins. The mango ice cream tasted like... mangos, but fresh, ripe mangos. If youve never had mochi ice cream this is the place to get it. The Sake selection is of moderate size but notable for the breadth of tastes served among the unflavored varieties. Ask for guidance to ensure you end up with something sweet, dry, or in-between enough for your preference. Unlike management at most places outside of high-end restaurants in large metros, Lilly knows her sakes. I can recommend the Hizo Otokoyama Junmai Ginjyo if you want a classic, filtered, cold sake thats rich yet dry. It reminds me of some good daiginjos Ive had, if a bit less complex. For unfiltered (nigori) sake, the Sasagasumi by Shirayuki is a mildly sweet take on the style with only 8-9% alcohol and a texture on the silkier side. It would pair well with one of the Teriyaki Pepper Rice dishes, complementing but not overpowering the sweetness of the sauce, or providing a relatively dry foil to a dessert while offering a luxurious texture and more responsible alcohol content after a beer earlier in the meal. Both sakes have impressively clean finishes. Decor is attractive and modern but inviting, painted in relaxing hues and warm textures with colorful accent lighting. The expansive bar top consisting of pennies encased in clear resin provides a fun visual. Ambient music is a diverse mix, audible but unobtrusive. The kitchen is open, a conscious choice intended to exude energy and inspire confidence in the food, but, importantly, the ventilation was fully sufficient for a comfortable experience. Sapporo Ramen & Grills quality and focus stands out in this area, partly because such a model can be challenging to maintain in an oilfield economy. Lilly made it clear she appreciates constructive feedback from guests, so if your experience isnt as stellar as mine Id encourage you to catch her ear. Show this place some love cause we need it and others like it here in the Petroplex.

The food is definitely an acquired taste, it just tastes so different than the usual stuff I eat but it s not like it s bad. The staff was extremely patient and friendly even though we were so rowdy. Loved the boba though.

Live the double boba cups.

I ve been here quite a bit and it s always been good but this last two times it s been terrible. We ordered 5 meals and with the first bite we new the chicken was not thoroughly cooked, when I told the waitress (which normally I never complain about anything) she did not apologize or offer to remove it off the bill so $130 later and we didn t even eat our meals. Highly disappointed.

Very delicious!

Came here for the first time expecting some good food. Highly disappointed. I ordered the sesame chicken and the taste was awful. It didn t look like any sesame chicken I ve had before. The fried rice tasted like it had been freezer burned. All in all it was pretty gross. Would not recommend

I wasnt too impressed tbh. Yes it was good, but nothing really wowed me. The miso ramen didnt really have a ton of flavor. The noodles were good though. The karage chicken was a little dry. I would come back to try some of the other options as they looked pretty good.

I dont know why this place isnt more popular. Authentic Japanese ramen. Get the spicy black Tonkatsu Ramen. Youre welcome.

This place was okay. A typical ramen and grill restaurant. There are others with the same type of cuisine that I would prefer to eat at in this area. The food was pretty good. Its just that this was not my favorite.

Food and service were good, exceptional for Midland. I recommend.

The atmosphere is super cool. My sister and I ordered the Tonkatsu ramen. Anyone who has had tonkatsu knows it is a very rich and white colored pork broth due to cooking the pork bones for so long. Our ramen was not good at all. The broth was extremely thin looking (see below) and completely lacked in flavor. The noodles had great texture but they tasted like they had been rinsed in the kitchen sink. At $15 a bowl I was so sad and disappointed. The two stars are only because the pan fried gyoza and Takoyaki were delicious.

Nice atmosphere. Not too crowded. Friendly staff. The food seemed a little overpriced considering most of the entree was rice or noodles. You do have the option of paying more for more beef, shrimp, etc. Overall it was good. I would eat here again.

It was decent. Decent price.

Great service . Taro boba was delicious, bao was great, and the ramen is the best in west TX! Highly recommend.

Great food and great service. Reasonably priced. Will be back.

Been going to this place quite often over the last year and its always good food.

We got there at 7, got seated immediately, ordered 10 minutes in, than proceeded to wait exactly one hour to receive our food. When we did get our food it was slightly above room temp, the eggs were sour, and the broth was dirty. The most disgusting bowl of ramen Ive ever had. The milk tea wasnt good, we got checked on once during our hour wait, food was overpriced for the quality. I dont give 1 star reviews, but boy does this place deserve it. Id give it a zero if I could.

What an interesting spot in Midland Texas. A local on my flight recommended this restaurant because it was uniquely different. For sure the interior design feels like a 1990 bar and restaurant which was actually cool. We loved our sever who was very helpful with recommendations. We had the pork dumplings and cream cheese pineapple wontons. Wow. Those were both delicious appetizers! We also tried their General Tsaos chicken which was very good! It was the perfect Asian comfort food.

Server was rude. Food was not all that. Music was so loud.

The ramen is excellent very flavorful broth

Staff is always friendly and welcoming! I love coming here! Food is always hot and delicious

I have been trying to find a good ramen place for over a year now in Midland (from los Angeles). And this is still not it. :( Broth was where the ramen fell apart. No rich, creamy flavor. Hardly any flavor at all. They just put a handful of some sort of green herb to try and bring flavor instead. Not the way to go. The bao was good, interesting pan fried. I liked it.

This is a very laid back environment, perfect for a date night. The ramen was hearty and delicious. The sake was a great quality.

First time here , spicy edamame s no flavor at all, soup no flavor waitress talking to other waitress not paying attention and we were the only table there very disappointed

Great food. Good service. Clean.

Place is clean, staff is friendly, and its the best place in Midland for ramen.

The appetizers were meh but the Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen was really good. So was the Orange Chicken.

This place is outstanding! The food was scrumptious, the service was fantastic, and the environment was phenomenal. Everyone should check out this Ramen grill. If you re traveling through, this is the place to grab lunch! I highly recommend the barbecue pork buns.

Delicious ramen, friendly and helpful staff, great service and fun and relaxing atmosphere! Whats not to love. Will definitely be going back.

Very good and fair priced! Big portions of ramen

Food was really good. Reminded my of my old spot out in downtown L.A.

My kids loves this place! They loves the steamed bao and noodles!

Friendly and fast service, environment is esthetically pleasing, food was top notch. 5 stars all the way, great place for businesses, out of town guests, or family.

Never tried Japanese food before 1st time ,I enjoyed it , very different presentation of noodles , my 9 & 6 yo werent big fans , older one ate the grilled chicken and oranges mainly, the younger brother ate alil of his noodles and his oranges ...they have nuggets and fries for kids for another option... the broth was tasty....oh yeah they gave the boys a Japanese soda melon flavored really cool bottle , boys said they liked the drink ... atmosphere slow for a Tuesday around 7 .

So much praise for everything about eating here!

Everything here was really tasty. Broth tastes very light and fresh, love that the noodles are nice and chewy cant wait to try more of the menu!

Great tasty Ramen bowls

Great fresh food, always terrific service.

Had a wonderful lunch with friends .The food was awesome and so was the service .Differently a keeper...

Great amazing place for someone looking for a place in midland for ramen

Good food, nice atmosphere. I am getting incredibly tired of digital menus.

Food was great , need to work on service

While on my lunch break today, I was met at the door by a kind young man by the name of Yang! He had the biggest smile and offered me a to go menu when he knew I wanted to place my order to go. Yang is here due to Summer break helping his mom! Super Sweet and gave me the 5 Star Treatment! Thank you Yang! You re a Rockstar!

The food was delicious and the service was great! We had the Seafood Ramen and the Black Miso Ramen, and they were both amazing! We also enjoyed milk Boba teas. I highly recommend.

Really disappointed . Service was not the best. The food description was not accurate on their menu. Overly priced for the quality of their food.

We came across this place while traveling on a Sunday and almost every restaurant was closed. Staff is very friendly and the food is good. We ordered combination yaki udon, which was very good. We also ordered spicy tonkotsu, it was good except that the soup base tasted like miso rather than tonkotsu. Nice quiet atmosphere

Food was ok nothing to write mama about. Prices not the same as on menu. Dont know if they were old menus or If they where new prices. But I think they should have mentioned it earlier.

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was very nice

This is a great semi new addition to Midland. I eat here frequently and have a hard time trying other items on the menu because what I ve had has been so good I want it every time. The staff is also amazing. Give it a try!

Been here multiple times and they never disappoint. Pan fried pork gyoza and pineapple cheese wontons were amazing. I ordered the devil Ramen which was amazing, but extra spicy today! My friend got the grilled chicken Ramen and liked it too. Great wait staff as well

It is modest that they charge you an extra 3% when paying by card

I been in midland for 10 months now, I ve tried so many places and where just bad,but tonight I tried this one! Let me tell you! From customer service to the food 10/10 my new fav place

Very good place, very clean and cozy, the food was very delicious and good service

Always great service, and food is so good!!!

This place is a good pick. The pan fried dumplings were very good. And the pepper steak 500 degree dish with egg and veggies, (comes out in a awesome searing skillet) is very good. Wish the beer was colder but all in all for the price, place is a pleasant spot. My buddy and I use it as a safe spot to grub if we cant think of a better spot. This place isnt mind blowing but its better than most.
