"I used to love this place, but it's not what I remember it to be. Due to good memories here, I chose this place for a nice dinner with an old friend. Upon entering, the first thing I noticed was high humidity and a hot room temperature (not ideal for sushi... . I'm a cold natured person too, so I don't say that often. It was more humid in there than outside. When seated, we were presented with 5 6 menus for options to choose from. After ordering our drinks, we proceeded to look through the menus. We were barely 3 minutes in when the waitress asked us for our order we were not ready, so we told her so. A few minutes later, she asks again we were only on the third menu for browsing at that point, so no. A few minutes after that, she asked again (in an annoyed tone , so we ordered random things and she took all the menus that we were not done browsing through yet. Being rushed for a sit down meal with a server... not really ideal? If you wanted to rush people in and out, have a similar structure to Chipotle. Being rushed really distracts from tasting the food. Though I believe the food was decent, with the sushi being about average, this poor service took away from the taste, leaving us unsatisfied with our visit. Additionally, for what we got, $100 (includes tip was considerably more than other competitors the food was too average to justify that. I could make better at home. In the end, we paid for a mediocre experience for mediocre food (for the price ."

"Sashimi and sushi should be simple. At their core, they're not much more than seafood and rice (and nori plus a little extra, in the case of sushi). It seems like nowadays, lots of resturaunts like to put their own spin on something that has been mastered for years. I can appreciate it, but i often miss the originality of sushi without the... extra originality... I suppose. I'm sure most people reading this are familiar with the sushi available at your local HEB topped with Hot Cheeto dust, but I'm happy to report that here at Sapporo, the sushi is artfully (and simply) constructed. Rice and fish, yes (or shrimp, or calamari, or otherwise), but at its core, they have remained true to what good food should be: a good, simple recipe, made with heart and soul. The meal I ordered was the Sushi Combo B, and it was exactly what I hoped it would be, perhaps a little more: elegantly presented on creatively molded ceramic with an orchid garnish to add some otherwise absent violet coloring, a delectable side salad and miso soup with soft tofu. Even the environment left very little to be desired, with the Christmas music playing in the background, and the cowboys game quietly on the TV, Sapporo's offers an Asian-American fusion environment without compromising on the food. It might even lend itself well to a first date spot. I'm only here on business, but I still highly reccomend this place to both visitors and locals alike. 10/10, would go again."

"I have been to this Hibachi restaurant a few times and the food was decent. I liked the idea that I could simply sit in an area away from the Hibachi grills, since I don 't really care to watch the entertaining chefs cook my food. My wife and I went there around 7 pm tonight, hoping to eat some Hibachi grilled rice and teriyaki chicken at a regular table. The parking lot was half empty, so we were encouraged that the restaurant wouldn 't be too busy. When we entered the restaurant, we stood behind a woman who was in line with her three young children, waiting to be seated at a Hibachi table. We all stood in front of the hostess stand, watching as several restaurant employees walked by not even acknowledging our presence. After more than 10 minutes, the woman with the kids reminded one of the passing employees that she was waiting for a Hibachi table for over 10 minutes. He simply nodded his head. Then she mentioned that the people behind her (us) only wanted to be seated at a regular table. With that, the older man (who looked like he was the owner or manager, since he was running the bar and cash register intermittently), said in an irritated voice, they 'll have to wait! With that, my wife and I turned around and walked out. We won 't be going back. As we left, I said to my wife, if this manager displays such rudeness in front of customers, it 's hard to imagine he cares about the cleanliness of the kitchen and how carefully the food is prepared. So yeah, we won 't be going back there."

"I decided to drop by Daichan on Halloween because I was craving sushi, and thankfully, it was conveniently close to my place. I also heard the prices were quite affordable, and after building up some confidence this year, I felt ready to dive in. My friend and I were seated at the bar, but to my disappointment, all the fish was pre-sliced! Bummer! Unsure of what to do, I ordered a pitcher of Kirin and watched the other diners. After finishing my first mug, I joined in on the sushi plate snatching and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fish – it was actually quite good! - Maguro (tuna): nice, thick cuts and surprisingly fresh for being pre-sliced. - Sake (salmon): also very thick and quite good. - Hamachi (yellowtail): just okay – not great, but not bad. - Uni (sea urchin): pretty good, which was a nice surprise. - Ankimo (monkfish liver): just fine, but lacking flavor. - Chicken karaage: fresh, but also a bit bland. You might be wondering why I gave this place four stars despite some of the dishes being just okay. Well, it’s because Bruce, the sushi chef (itamae), was absolutely hilarious! I bought him a pitcher and poured him a beer, followed by a cheerful "kanpai!" We continued alternating pitchers and mugs all night. So much for a relaxing evening with sushi and an early bedtime! We ended up having a blast! Bruce was behind the sushi bar making sushi with a fun twist, and he'd stumble sideways every time he tried to walk. It was such a great time! I now understand why the fish is pre-sliced – it’s to keep Bruce safe when he gets a bit tipsy with the customers! In summary, Daichan is a fantastic place for decent sushi and an unforgettable night of drinking with the sushi chef!"
