Sushi Sapporo Information

Walking into Sushi Sapporo on SE Washington St in Portland feels like stepping into a cozy slice of Japan tucked into the heart of the city. The interior balances traditional Japanese minimalism with a touch of casual warmth-wooden accents, soft lighting, and neatly arranged tables give it an inviting, unpretentious vibe. The menu reflects a thoughtful range of classic sushi options alongside inventive rolls, offering something for both purists and those looking to explore more playful flavors. Freshness is clearly a priority here; the salmon and tuna nigiri have a clean, buttery texture, and the rice is seasoned just right, not too vinegary or dry. Signature rolls like the Dragon and Volcano showcase the kitchen’s knack for balancing bold sauces with fresh ingredients without overwhelming the delicate fish. Beyond sushi, there are a handful of cooked dishes like tempura and teriyaki bowls that hit the spot if raw fish isn’t your go-to. Service tends to be attentive without hovering, with staff ready to offer recommendations or explain unfamiliar items, making the experience approachable even for first-timers. Portions are reasonable for the quality and freshness you get, and many reviewers note the consistency-even on busy nights, plates arrive with care and presentation intact. The location itself is convenient, tucked in a lively part of Portland, which makes it easy to combine a meal here with a stroll around local shops or nearby parks. Whether stopping by for a quick lunch, a casual dinner, or a small celebration, Sushi Sapporo manages to deliver a satisfying, authentic Japanese dining experience that feels both accessible and genuine.

What People's Say About Place

Our servers were super friendly and attentive. We got seated right away and the conveyer belt was full of choices. Everything was tasty and we left very full. Excellent prices and portions. Highly recommend! Only down side was how cold the metal chairs are!

We order this place for our sushi cravings on a busy night, never disappoints! They are open pretty late and the sushi is pretty good. Lots of great options for a pretty good price.

VERDICT: Extreme Value for money! Whole Foods experience, dollar tree prices. I'm honestly shocked. The quality and taste along with the inside atmosphere of the staff sure reminds me of something more in Northwest Portland than it does Southeast Portland. It seems to be a place of high-end clientele as there's an Aston Martin vantage in various other high-end luxury vehicles that patronage the restaurant. My experience was absolutely wonderful. Today I haven't been to any sushi restaurant that had this level of table etiquette. I also have to mention that the restaurant is very clean throughout as there are no sticky surfaces or even dust visible. The waiter was attentive and brought a flair of class I really have not experienced at a sushi restaurant before that has this rotation belt style arrangement. I was going to go in there for some egg rolls but this probably is the first time I actually smelled something that was so enticing I actually had to go ahead and get it and it was the sushi rolls I had pictured. I am no sushi expert Nora Japanese food extraordinaire but this absolutely tasted wonderful. My bill was cheaper than what I paid for my coffee next door! The value for your money is absolutely ludicrous! There's also no offensive smells in the place, something that even high-end restaurants in my neighborhood have trouble with , at a cost 6x of what you get @ Sushi Sapporo. Plenty of seats and nice booths. Even with the mass of parking in the parking lot make sure to plan ahead because it's usually packed here. Absolutely recommended!

The sushi was incredibly fresh and reasonably priced. Kid-Friendly: I appreciated the thoughtful touch of providing kid-friendly chopsticks. My children loved it! Overall Experience: We had a wonderful time and will definitely be returning. I highly recommend this restaurant to families looking for delicious sushi and a welcoming atmosphere.

Wonderful. We sat at a booth but I think a chair beside the conveyor belt would be the most fun. Food is very affordable. We could see a chef slicing salmon. Very cool. Food prepared right in the center of the restaurant!!! Had asparagus rolls, crab salad rolls, California rolls, tempura shrimp rolls. On average $1 per roll. There were cookies and fruit, watermelon and grapes. Egg rolls. Dumplings. Yum. Wait staff was super friendly and kept refilling our drinks. Couldn't ask for better service or food. My daughter comes here all the time and just loves it. Lots of parking. Lots of gluten free options and vegetarian options. Stuffed mushrooms looking amazing. Definitely coming back again.

As far as sushi-go-rounds this one is up there. The sushi tasted fresh. There was plenty of variety and you can basically order anything from the menu if you don’t see it on the belt. Nice service with average plate prices. You can tell from the number of plates we had we did not go away hungry.

I was from out of town and I put in where some best sushi in town and this was the second choice after it took me to a food truck that had a porta potty outside the sushi food truck and I decided not to go there. So I went here and I normally like places like this and I tried to order a avocado roll that I never got. So it was kind of like you had to eat with what was on the conveyor belt and there wasn't a lot of choices that I wanted. It was reasonably priced though and I would eat there again.

Great Sushi bar off 205! Staff are great and always willing to make your order fresh! Definitely recommend this place!
