I was in Hamilton recently, visiting a friend from out of town. We were both unfamiliar with what…read moreHamilton 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.

The food here is absolute comfort food similar to Sakawa Coffee on Danforth or Cafe Green Tea in J-Town. This is now definitely one of my favourite Japanese restaurants...each dish is prepared with such perfection! My husband and I really enjoyed the Salmon Teishoku and Cheese Hamburg Teishoku sets. Both of these meals were delicious. And my daughter got the Pork Katsu curry rice which was also very tasty. On our previous visit, we also enjoyed the chicken teriyaki rice bowl and their ramen...simply delicious! Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere and delicious food. If you're in Hamilton, be sure to make a stop here!

When I did a staycation in Hamilton in February 2020, I remember passing by an August 8 restaurant…read more It has a handful of locations that offer all-you-can-eat sushi. Last month, I was back in Hamilton for a mini staycation. I needed dinner. I looked on my Uber Eats app and saw that this August 8 had a number of BOGO items. I had to get in on the deals. I ordered the following items: - Avocado salad - California roll - BOGO - Sticky rice (3) - Salmon sashimi (3) - Steamed sponge cake (4) - BOGO I drove over to the eatery to pick up my order. It's located in a tiny plaza with limited parking. I managed to snag the only parking spot available. I had to careful back in, as there was a car parked illegally in the parking lane. It's the downside to fetching or heading over here to dine. The parking situation is atrocious and downright dangerous. More on that in a bit. I headed to the counter and got the nicest young man. I let him know that I had an Uber Eats order and stated my name. He found my order and handed a bag over to me. I thanked him and left the eatery. There were a handful of students hanging around outside. One of the guys was sweet to open and hold the door for me. Kindness isn't completely dead. It was a nice touch. The downside was that the woman who parked illegally parked in the fire lane didn't bother doing a check behind her and decided to back up. I don't get why she needed to back up, but she nearly backed into me. I was not impressed. I actually managed to get out of the way and had a good look at her from the passenger side of her car. I let her know through some arm gestures that she needed to be careful and that she nearly ran over me. My gestures did have words accompanying them. I can't state them here. They weren't pleasant words that I use regularly. I got to my car and safely placed my food in it. I then drove back to the hotel room to chow down. The food was yummy on the whole. I will break things down: Avocado salad The miso dressing was flavourful. The avocado slices were delicate and were starting to turn brown. The veggies were fresh, but I didn't love the iceberg lettuce. I'd skip getting this salad. California rolls Excellent! The filling was warm, which was different. I loved them. The fake crab, avocado, and julienned cucumbers were so good. They did have black sesame seeds around them. Sticky rice (3) It was a bit weird seeing white paper wrapped around each bundle of sticky rice with its own leaf wrapping. I felt that it was a waste of paper. The bundles had more white pepper than necessary. The filling was generous, with small chunks of pork. I ate one each day. They heat up nicely. Salmon sashimi (3) The best! Each piece melted in my mouth. You don't need to chew much. The sashimi was super fresh. Steamed sponge cake (4) I am a huge fan of traditional steamed sponge cake. There was a twist with the version here. You get dainty triangles with layers of sponge cake. I'm not sure what separated each layer, but this cake was subtly sweet and still warm. I loved it so much. I want to return and get some more food. I'd avoid the avocado salad. The parking situation makes me want to fetch food from a different August 8, though. Maybe I should try coming during lunchtime when I'm in the area and see if parking is better. (442)

On account of some personal food allergies, I substitute the noodles for rice on the side and they are very good about accommodating me, thank you. In addition to the traditional animal based broths, I have also had the vegetarian broth which has a milky appearance and a mushroom flavour in which has a nice assortment of veggies. Will definitely have that again. You'll find on the middle page bottom of the menu, a level 3 hotness (12 chilies) dish. That is not for the faint of heart. Perhaps work your way up to that, definitely try 2 before 3. At peak times, be prepared to write your name on a sheet and wait until some seats open up.
