What an unexpected pleasure for my Christmas day dinner. Wen King (sp?) was rocking the front of the house. I ordered the filet and shrimp w/noodles. The meal arrived promptly and was expertly prepared. The two sauces were both very good. The venue is clean with typical strip mall restaurant furnishings. Will I return? Yes! read more

What's better than hibachi? Quick service hibachi. No long show just great food quick. Service was wonderful and completely fresh food. Our group, 8 of us, came in placed our orders quickly. So delighted to find out that every thing can be made without any of the usual ingredients. One of us has a soy restriction the other no eggs no wheat and another dairy free. It has to be the first place ever that didn't automatically say "we pre marinade all our meat so we couldn't prepare without sauce" but noooo not here. All requested preparations handled! Great! Aside from the quality and ingredients we all received our food in about 10 mins. The quality was great so so so delicious! Even the soy free version absolute gem love this place read more

We were leaving Kings Island and opted to try this as a hopefully cheaper option to eating in the park and it turned out great! It's a little hole in the wall place and from the outside it looks a little dark and dingy, but that's just a tint on the windows. Inside was bright and clean and had an adorable lucky cat mural on the wall. The hibachi prices were super low- I got the tofu and even with tip it was under $12. The amount of food was impressive, the quality was great, and so were the included sauces. My friend and I were both thrilled by this place and plan to go regularly while we're up at the park this season. Only note is that there were milk teas listed on the menu but they didn't have any when I ordered- I don't know if they were out or just changed the menu without updating it. read more

Don't get the fried rice. It is extra $ and no flavor. Teriyaki shrimp was just ok. Portion was small. Bottled soda, water etc no fountain drinks and water was warm. Service was ok but place was not busy just us and another couple. Place was small with just a few tables so must do more take out. I took a to go menu but will probably not use it. read more

Carry out or eat in. Ordering was quick and easy. Food is cooked to order. We tried the Japanese fried rice with shrimp. You can see them preparing your meal. Only took a couple of minutes. Meal consisted of four shrimp and fried rice with egg, carrots, onions. Stirred fried together. No ambience. But place is clean. Good for carry out or quickie lunch. read more

My meal was off to a good start. I had ordered the edamame (plentiful to fill the entire takeout clamshell container) was good. The shumai was also good, as these are the reason for the bump in stars. Otherwise, my chicken and shrimp combo hibachi were beyond disappointing. The shrimp was rubbery, overcooked, and extremely crisp, and the chicken was overcooked and dry. I like my vegetables overcooked, so those were actually enjoyable. I will not return. read more

The good, the bad, the and ugly are the foods of Sapporo Hibachi Express The good: 1. Variety of vegetables. Some hibachi places are limited. 2. Given lots of vegetables to replace ordering omitting the rice. 3. The Green Tea Ice cream is the best item I ordered! Worth the trip. 4. The hibachi soup was nice. The bad: 1. Lack of flexibility to choose vegetables given - my husband HATES mushrooms, and had no idea when ordering he would receive them, as no other hibachi place we've tried automatically has them. 2. The dressing with the hibachi salad had no flavor, according to husband. 3. The sauces they cook the hibachi salmon in must have gluten in them, because after consuming it felt that way. :( The ugly: 1. The Vegetable Spring Rolls were WAY undercooked, like almost inedible. Undercooked cookies = yum. Undercooked spring rolls = close to unpalatable. So, if you are at Sapporo, get the soup and the green tea ice cream. Yes you may be hungry, but it will be the best they have to offer! read more

I visited Sapporo with a group of 8, including several children. We were greeted so kindly and guided through the menu so we could try new things. The food was all delicious and we had quite a few dishes between us including udon, hibachi, teriyaki, tempura, and gyoza. The hostess/cashier checked on us multiple times and was wonderful to talk to and also great with the kids. We will definitely visit again when in town! read more

Food was soooo good. And smelled good while they were cooking it. Wish they had a fountain drink machine but otherwise this is my favorite Asian restaurant anywhere around the theme parks in Mason, OH read more

Sapporo has reached legendary status among our family! It's the best hibachi and Japanese takeout food that we've found (and we've tried many). The scallops are better than expensive restaurants, and the yaki soba is unlike any other we've found. If you get the pork dumplings, choose pan fried and you won't regret it! It's very clean inside, staff is friendly, portions are big enough to split, and the food is always ready fresh and fast! 10/10 would recommend, even to friends out of town! read more

We enjoy Sapporo however didn't expect a small pop-in shop when we arrived. Service was fast but barely any interaction. Food was decent but not the quality expected from the normal. Good if you just want to pop in, but I would only go back if I was craving. read more

This place is a great little hidden gem! Across the street from Kroger is not to hard to locate. I had the steak and shrimp hibachi with fried rice and it was great! Next time I'll try an appetizer as well. read more

Great food at a great value! Would definitely recommend for a quick & filling meal.

Best hibachi takeout!! Great portion sizes, we ordered the double meat option and split it. Great selection of appetizers. Their wings and pork gyoza are tasty! We paid $33 overall which I consider a reasonable price for takeout and we were full and satisfied. read more

My family of 4 came at around 7:15 on a Friday and it was packed. Total chaos as the receptionist was trying her best to seat people as they came in. People were rude and impatient, but the waitress never wavered in her kindness as she ran around like a chicken. I watched her in awe. We were not able to get a seat at a hibachi table due to the wait; we have 2 little boys who are crazy, so we chose to sit at a table so we could eat sooner, and she sat us right away. We all ordered hibachi and the kids got the kids hibachi (one got noodles and one got rice, they both liked the rice best). We all got chicken and shrimp and I also got the steak. My favorite was the chicken. The food was so delicious, my husband and I agreed it was better than other hibachi places we've tried in Cincinnati and Columbus. The yum yum sauce was great, the miso soup and salad were both also so good. My kids loved the soda pops with the marbles and we kept the glass bottles because they liked them so much. We observed the hibachi cook interacting with the table next to us, and he did such a good job of entertaining the adults and children. It looked so fun! We live kind of far but we come to the area once a year to visit the aquarium or great wolf lodge, and we will come here for dinner every time from now on! Just come early and get a seat at a hibachi table, you will not be disappointed! read more

The service was PHENOMENAL and it was nice and expedient. I don't know if I'd want to pay almost $22 for pretty standard fried rice, but it was a nice size for the money. A lunch special would DEFINITELY come in handy for local businesses. The sauces are extra but the Ginger dressing is/was DIVINE! I am not a fan of yum yum, but if you mix it with a pinch of the teriyaki and a generous helping of ginger dressing, it is definitely delicious. Rice was tender but when I wanted vegetables, I meant hibachi ones- not broccoli florets thrown in here and there. Go again to support a local business and the super kind gentlemen working there. read more

We ordered takeout from this restaurant for the first time tonight. It was fast, delicious, generously portioned, and well-priced. We will surely be back for more! read more

Wooooow so good & so fast!! I had fried rice & hibachi steak, came with veggies & mushrooms. Every bite was amazing.

They have the delicious fried rice you come to expect from a hibachi place. My only gripe with this is that it's not enough. I paid $14 something for the beef version along with the fried rice; however, I was left still feeling hungry at the end. There was maybe 10-12 small cubed pieces of beef. Flavor as good, the accompanying sauces really go a long way. I could definitely finish two orders but then at $28, isn't it better to go to a sit down hibachi restaurant? Flavor 8/10 Portions 5/10 Quality 8/10 read more

Always top-tier service when we go. The food never disappoints, even for our picky teenager. Their prices are good-to-fair. Definitely recommend. read more

Everything is fresh and delicious. Portions are good and the fried rice is worth the upgrade.

Food was delicious. Great value for the price. Served really well for takeout. Steak was tender and tasty. Fried rice had incredible flavor. Definitely will be back. read more

The food we ate here wasn't even mediocre. Most of it was actually horrible. My kids love noodles, but this place makes cheap instant Walmart yaki undon look like a delicacy. I made the mistake of ordering ramen. It was nearly inedible. Once again, I'd take cheap packaged ramen over this abomination. The broth seemed just bland at first, but it tasted worse and worse with each spoonful. The pork was also barely edible. None of us could finish the udon or ramen. We did get an order of gyoza to start which were fine. I ended up getting a second order since we were going to be hungry after throwing away the rest. Also it was so odd that everything came in to go containers even though we ordered to eat in. At least the employees were pleasant and the place was pleasant enough inside (but the front door was so hard to open we thought it was locked... we should have walked away at that point, oh well hahahaha). read more

We have ordered a couple of times thru DoorDash. Food has always been hot and delicious. Tonight we decided to stop in and grab some to go. Staff was very friendly, service was fast and food was delicious as always. I highly recommend this little hidden gem. read more

I really wanted to like this place because it's close to home and would be very convenient. Unfortunately it really wasn't that good. For the same price you'd pay driving the extra 10 minutes to get to the teppanyaki place in Lebanon you get smaller portions of food that's not as good and have to eat out of carryout containers with plastic utensils and drink out of a can without refills and you don't get the table service or the show of the chef preparing your food right where you're eating. Don't bother. read more

cute little place with a very convenient location & the service was great. everyone in there was very friendly. we tried the hibachi steak and hibachi chicken and it was delicious! we will definitely be going back! read more

I ordered hibachi chicken and tempura vegetables. The chicken and vegetables both lacked seasoning were quite bland. The oil the vegetables were fried in was not hot enough. The tempura wasn't crispy and there were places where the batter absorbed the oil. The chicken was a bit over cooked. I didn't finish this meal. I wanted to love this place since I live close. Overall disappointment. I won't be back. read more

Great food and great service. I arrived 5 mins late for my pickup but my food was still hot and fresh and the staff was very friendly. I didn't find that the portions were too small as noted in some other reviews. The container is deep so it may be a perspective thing. I attached a picture of my chicken hibachi plated. Will definitely be back! read more

Wanted to try something new and love Hibachi, so we tried this place for dinner. Overall we were impressed. Customer service was great and our order was ready quickly. Prices on the menu appear to be cheaper than normal hibachi, but with the add on of fried rice and a salad (that typically comes with a hibachi meal) the price was similar to a sit down restaurant. The food tasted good, but I was left hungry as the portions are smaller than normal. read more

I usually go to Fusabowl across the street, but I think I prefer Sapporo! The portions are much bigger than I expected them to be, I had leftovers for the next day after ordering a small meal. The service is always fast and great! The food tastes better than Fusabowl, it's always hot and fresh. I liked how they sell 4 different Ramune flavors, and how they have a cute desert menu! read more

The food is great and the people are even better! We have been in twice now since they opened a few weeks ago, and will be coming back regularly. Great for dine-in or take-out! read more

Quality is very good a little pricey but everything seems to be top quality and flairs are good. If they have more vegetables with hibachi and did up charge for fried rice it would be a five star read more

This place is amazing! Food is fresh and flavorful! Portions are good size and the food tastes better than most sit down hibachi restaurants! The fried rice is our favorite! read more

Portions are way too small and the appetizers are misleading. The Shrimp Tempura came with two pieces of shrimp and 4-5 different assorted fried vegetables. I feel like Shrimp Tempura should just be shrimp, not a bunch of filler. Don't appreciate being mislead. read more

Very well done. Some Japanese places aren't as authentic. Nicely done on the Gyoza and Hibachi chicken. Only thing missing is Japanese curry. Portions are pretty big. May want to split if not that hungry. read more

The food is delicious, the portions are great. The prices are affordable and the staff is ALWAYS so friendly. I go quite often and the staff members always go above and beyond to accommodate my food allergies. read more

Great food & service. Easy to order online. The employees are very friendly and the food was very good.

Excellent food and service. I put my order in through their website from Lebanon and by the time I reached the restaurant my order was ready! read more

This place is great. We have ordered the Hibachi Filet and Chicken Combo to go. The meat is so tender and good. The fried rice is tasty too. The lettuce is fresh in the salad. If you want a quick hibachi dinner that is flavorful, this is your place! We eat here at least once a week! I highly recommend this restaurant. read more
