    Spicy Chirashi Dinner
    Chris W.

    Amazing food! Always very professional and friendly. Love the simple layout of the restaurant as well.

    Chicken Curry Katsu Dinner, too much food & so good
    Quentin T.

    Been coming here frequently since I moved to Goodlettsville from south nash back in 2019. Has always been decent Asian fare with a focus on Japanese & Korean cuisine. One of those rare places that has seemingly gotten better with time. Pre Covid before the remodel I would've rated it a 3 due to being nothing special food wise but over the last few years it's been remodeled & the food has gotten very consistent & pleasing. Ramen is okay here but I often get a katsudon or katsu curry combo which has tons of food for the price & it is good. Service is good too. Sushi decent as well. Solid option in the area & if you need a ramen fix

    Beef Bulgogi Dinner bento box
    Christina W.

    We love this restaurant! We went around 7pm on a Wednesday, and were seated right away. The service is excellent and they are very attentive. I ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box and my husband got beef bulgogi bento box. When I say it's a bunch of food, trust me! There's sooooo much! Each box comes with your choice of 4 rolls, we both got the California roll, veggie and shrimp tempura, soup and salad, two crab cream cheese rolls, rice and your entree. All of the items were delicious! It was so much food, that we took all of our many entrees home. The leftovers were delicious too! The restaurant has plenty of parking, and a decent amount of tables. There is seating around the sushi bar too! We will be back!

    Salad and Miso soup

    We really enjoyed this place. The outside doesn't really give you an idea about the vibe, but the inside is darkened and nice. Tables only that I saw, and a counter. The server was very nice and attentive. The food was extremely good. We'd go back.

    Bibimbop and Steak Teriyaki Dinner

    The service was 10/10, I had the yum yum sushi roll , very delicious! My entree was Bimimbap, my korean grandmother makes this for me and honestly no complaints, the portion was 2-3 meals in one bowl. You can never go wrong with their teriyaki steak and fried rice either:) We've always gone to the Gallatin location for their Korean Hibachi , we never knew there was one in Madison, but we will definitely be back:)

    Salmon tataki
    Marianne G.

    The sweetest of the sweetest people work here. I am in town for a visit and I came here for dinner. I ordered the salmon tataki and agedashi and both were so good and hit the spot. My only regret was accidentally dropping my sake cup which made the entire restaurant gasp. It was empty and I rested it on top of the sake bottle and it fell off. Sad face on that. But happy face on the food, the service, the people, and the entire restaurant for being so sweet and accommodating.

    While this Sapporo location is much more convenient for me, I will go out of my way to visit the Gallatin location. The service is much faster and friendlier in Gallatin for one. The ambiance in the Madison store is, is, is, ...... just gross. This is my second visit and I just feel gross while there. It's not warm or welcoming . It's kinda dirty. I feel like I'm bothering them when I visit. The "host" will give you menus and point to a table and say "sit". Then you sit there for 15 mins until you're looking around for service. Someone will then come to the table and take your entire order. Having a drink or munching on and appetizer before ordering is not an option. The quality and taste of everything is better in Gallatin location , as well. The Crab ISO is one of my favorites and it's just been ruined for me by the Madison store.

    Nice restaurant , clean friendly staff and the food was great considering we're in Tennessee. We had a yellow tail collar and 4 different sushi rolls. Kimchi roll, salmon skin roll, spicy yellow tail roll, eel cucumber roll and octopus nigiri. All ver good! So what are you waiting for? Ask for Bailey she is the bomb and knot her stuff!

    Chicken Miso Ramen
    Courtney S.

    I had a great time at Sapporo. It was my first time. The food was great. The menu is expansive and full of variety. I love that there was a lunch menu on Saturday, total bonus. Due to the lunch rates ($6.99 for 2 rolls with soup and salad) I ordered a lunch meal as my appetizer. I got the snapper and salmon rolls, miso soup, and salad (ginger dressing was fire)! I also had a large sake!! It was warm and awesome. For the meal I got the miso chicken ramen. Obviously this was a huge meal and I took majority home. My friends got a roll each (911 and coco rolls) theirs were awesome. They also got and loved the pork miso ramen and spicy beef miso ramen. Overall I can't wait to go again and try something else. I will definitely go again.

    Watered down, mushy ramen

    I ordered the miso ramen add beef. Ramen can put extra bland, over cooked (mushy noodles), and wasn't "dressed". I had to ask for toppings and was told by my server they don't usually plate the noodles like the menu picture. That was weird! The miso broth was very watered down. Honestly pretty disappointed, I could've done better at home with .50 cent pack of ramen. Not joking!!! I also had spicy crab and spicy tuna rolls. They were both good and adequate for the lunch price of $7.99 for both. Place has been remodeled since I was last here and the layout is open. They get 3 stars because I've eaten here in the past and this is a 1st so I'm hoping this was just a one time miss.

    Sapporo is a great place that I like to stop and get ramen while working in the area. The food is always good and the service is quick. Nothing but good things to say about this place

    THIS IS THE BEST ! If you love Korean food in a sexy and sophisticated atmosphere. Look no further…read morethan this gem! I had a power dinner with a friend who is coming into my business... it was his first time eating Korean food, and Onda blew him away ! We started with a seafood pancake, which we split ...absolutely delicious ~ with a nice dipping sauce on the side Drinks from the bar were very nicely prepared Then we moved on to the best Kalbi I have ever eaten in my life and I've eaten a lot of Kalbi even in LA!! They call it LA Kalbi here. Being a business dinner I sure wanted to impress so I also ordered a plate of beef, Bulgogi and spicy pork Bulgogi both ROCKED ~ all three meats came out on sizzling iron plates All of the sides were as good as anything I've ever had, including the kimchi, which was extra special This is a VERY Classy, upscale, wonderful Korean restaurant with food that is impossibly good ! By the way, it's full of Koreans ..and a couple White folks. so that's always a good sign !!

The flavor was really well balanced! I had just the right amount of spice without being overwhelming, paired with a subtle sweetness that made it super enjoyable to keep eating. It came out on a sizzling plate, which not only kept everything hot but also added a nice touch to the presentation and overall experience. The portion size was very generous, which I always appreciate. I ended up having enough leftovers for lunch the next day, and it held up really well! The restaurant itself was clean and had a nice, comfortable atmosphere. Nothing over the top, but definitely a place you can sit down and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. That said, the experience wasn't perfect. The side dishes were a bit limited compared to what I was expecting, especially if you're used to a wider variety. Service was also on the slower side. The staff was friendly and polite, but it did take a few attempts to get their attention when I needed a water refill or wanted a to-go box. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it's something that could definitely be improved. Overall, I'd still recommend Onda if you're looking for flavorful Korean dishes and generous portions. Just be prepared for a more relaxed pace of service. I'd come back again, especially for that spicy pork bulgogi!

We arrived starving and left completely satisfied. The atmosphere was laid back, the service was quick, and the overall experience was fun and interactive. I would definitely go again.

Once our table was ready, we were seated at the door with a 1/2 table but it worked since it was just three of us. If I returned I'd want to do a full table as it was difficult to cook and talk to each other at a half table. There are tons of raw meat, veggie, seafood, noodles, rice options to grill or add to your hot pot. Along with sushi and desserts. Everything I had was good except the sushi which was bland and tasted like it sat out for hours. I also wish it wasn't buffet style with so many hands touching everything. Plus the plates were stored beneath the food and were hard to reach. I stood most of the time to cook because of the table set up. I'm not sure how others did it but I had to go get clean plates to place my food on after cooking because I refused to put cooked food on a plate with formerly raw meat. There also needs to be clean bowls available for finished hot pot food. I had to use the ramen bowl I had from the conveyor belt. Speaking of the conveyor belt, I'm confused about its point an only one person at our table could reach it. Things were not labeled and the majority were available on the buffet. My niece enjoyed herself so that's what really mattered. However, she's the one that gave it 3 stars so not the best or her favorite but also not bad. I will say (and I never mentioned this to my niece because I didn't want to ruin the evening) that I used the restroom and while washing my hands saw one of the workers use the restroom and never wash her hands! Thankfully for us were were done getting food but that's unacceptable. And yes I followed her out and know she was in fact a worker!
