Pittsburgh Restaurant Guide

good restaraunt, wait staff is poor but they dont have enough workers when it gets too busy so its understandable. chefs are very personable and friendly and the food is really good! what more could you want. you may wait awhile, we waited 40 min and we had reservations! but other than the wait and not enough staff members sapporo is a 4 star for us! the prices are better than ichiban and the portions are well. we love hibachi and sapporo is definitely our type of hibachi! and the shrimp sauce yum yum! and you must order fried rice an extra 3bucks but its worth it, i recommend the chicken broccoli it is superb!

To start, the plates were so filthy my wife had to use a baby wipe to clean them off. One of the glasses even had lip prints on it. We were convinced the dishes weren't washed at all, even though we were the first patrons to dine there that evening. When the waiter took our order he asked how we would like our rice prepared (plain or fried). Assuming there was no difference in price we ordered it fried. Only to find out when we got the bill that fried rice costs $3.00 extra, including for children, which added $12 to our bill. We also ordered and paid for extra vegetables, which were split up between everyone at our table, my family getting the least. Our chef was very personable until he got into an argument with the chef at the next table. It made for a very uncomfortable experience for everyone at both tables. Adding to the misery, the mens room was extremely small & the ladies room had no paper towels. To pay $85 for poor service and poor food served on dirty plates was completely outrageous. We will never eat there again.
