Sapporo Teppanyaki Liverpool

Paid a lot and most of it I get the impression was rolled up pricing for the performance art of the chefs. Don't get me wrong the guys were great but the food did not live up to the hype. The rice was not washed throughly and was gritty and bland. Chicken not tender at all. If you've eaten real tasty Japanese food then this alas is not it.

The food was so tasty and had a lot of amazing options for all. The chef was really funny and we had a great time over all. Would definitely recommend!

Went sapporo on a Saturday night we sat at a table with 3 other couples whilst the chef entertained and cooked our food which was lovely and very generous portions. There was a little mix up with the bill as another couples drinks were added onto our bill but this was quickly rectified. The staff sang happy birthday which was a lovely touch.

We dined here during our trip to Liverpool last week. I am not usually a huge fan of Japanese cuisine but I am now converted. The restaurant is immaculate and modern. We were welcomed on arrival and was asked to take a seat in the lounge area whilst waiting for our chef. We ordered a few pre-meal drinks. We were soon taken to our table. In front of us were the grills in which the chef would do their magic. Whilst waiting we had our drinks which were great. My sister for the green dragon mocktail which was amazing. It contains apple, lychee, aloe, lemon and elderflower. I had to order one myself after having a taste. Although, I have to say the drink gets less enjoyable the more you drink. The first sip is the best. We also got blossom tea which was not bad. The food menu is vast. So much to choose from that it’s difficult to decide. Thankfully they have taster menus which means you get to try a bit of lots of different things. I opted for the Emperor taster which had 9 items on it with a mixture of meat and fish options, plus a dessert. 2 others in the party also got a taster but got one of the smaller ones. My sister just chose from the menu. The chef soon arrived and he was humorous throughout. Be prepared to catch some potato in your mouth. He didn’t say a huge amount but likes to imitate peoples laugh. Thankfully, nobody found offence to this. My favourite part was when he got his big out on show. It was so random but so funny. We were all very impressed with his abilities in the kitchen. He was clearly an expert with years of training. Now down to the food. My review would be the length of the bible if I described each dish but overall the food was delicious. I even had sushi which I loved. The last time I had sushi I wasn’t a fan. My favourite dish was the barbecue ribs. They were, fall off the bone, tender and the taste was unreal. The seabass was also particularly amazing. I thought the beef fillet was incredible. We shared the duck spring rolls and they were also really tasty. Most items were faultless apart from a couple. My wife and I both had chicken fillet and we both agreed that it was very chewy and squeaky and it didn’t taste all that great. The sweet potato tempura was nice but I thought that the sweet potato was undercooked because there was a few hard bites. With each dish we had fried potatoes, egg fried rice and veg. All of which was really good. I could’ve quite happily snacked on this potato’s all night. Finally, we got dessert. I went with the chocolate spring rolls which were delicious. My wife got biscoff cheesecake which she really enjoyed and the other members of the party also loved their dessert. It was an expensive bill just for the 4 of us but it was an amazing experience. Portions were relatively small but you do get a variety of high quality food so I didn’t mind paying more than I would usually. I would love to come back.

I visited this year in June and absolutely loved it. I had gotten the waygu steak and it was the best steak I ever had. The chef had a lot of fun entertaining us by making fire erupt from the grill and do some magic in front of us.
