Sapporo Reopens With Redesigned Space And New Dishes
Early in June, we mentioned that Sapporo (on 49th btw. 5+6th) would be closed til mid-June. Well, they’re back open- with slightly higher prices and a completely redesigned space. This is actually the second time in 5 years they’ve done this, but this time the changes are a bit more noticeable… and they’ve added some new lunch specials. Check out pics of the new digs plus the new lunch specials, after the jump.
The weird space dividers that ran down the middle of the room? Gone! But check out the new “booths” up against the wall. Fancy! The room is definitely brighter and less cluttered. (Although we always felt like the relative dinginess of Sapporo, compared to Menchanko Tei or Men Kui Tei, was part of its charm.)
Thankfully the lunch additions all fit nicely within our $10 lunch budget. I’ll definitely be back for the Katayaki Soba cause I kinda need to try the mysterious-sounding “special seafood ANKAKE sauce”. Has anybody tried any of the new dishes yet? Let us know in the comments…

The mabo don is not good. You’re better off getting it for 5 bucks at some Chinese take out place.

That looks too spruced up. I loved it because it was a bit grimier.

Totally agree.

noooooooooooooo the whole appeal was its cheap food and bare bones decor! I see they also raised their prices! I sure hope their curry, ramen, and katsu don is still delicious!

If slummin it is what everyone is looking for, then why even bother with Sapporo at all? Men Kui Tei is cheaper, grimier, and more delicious. Also, in the winter, it’s like walking into a meaty steambath for the soul.

wow “a meaty steambath for the soul”. Wish I could write like that.
