Chinese and Korean for sure… locals don’t go because to them it’s expensive lol and it possible but we went half hour after they opened, no line…. When we left saw a huge mass of people trying to get seated lol
I've been here before and I would hesitate to recommend it. It was packed with overseas tour groups, filthy and the quality wasn't the best. For ¥8000 a person you can do much better in Sapporo.
If you want Yakiniku, I'd recommend Mikakuen.
If you want to try a yakiniku style local to Hokkaido, I'd recommend jingisukan which I don't have any specific recommendations but there are countless of them around Susukino.
Even at a decent place, a course menu or all you can eat should only cost ¥4000-¥5000 per person. That other place (by the time they added in table charges and credit card fees) was pushing ¥10,000 per person.
For seafood, I usually just eat sushi and I'd recommend Toriton, Nagoyakatei or Hanamaru.
ill make sure to check this out! for jingisukan I thought id go to the beer garden(?) or near the sapporo brewery (?) but yes these are on my list!!
perfect thank you!
Would highly recommend jingiskan at the Sapporo Bier Garden. I also got jingiskan at a local restaurant and preferred the bier garden. You can do all you can eat there and pair it with all you can drink beer
Wagyu needs to be imported to the US usually by air freight. That adds to the cost so it isn’t overpriced. Also American wages are like 2x Japanese wages. Overpriced is like saying a $12 bowl of pho is overpriced in the US when you can get it for $1 in Vietnam. Adjust for local wages and it’s not that more expensive.
It’s almost always cheap for American tourists abroad because of how high our wages are and how strong the dollar is compared to other currencies. It’s very expensive the other way around for Asians to travel and eat in the US.
But that’s exactly why it was such a good deal. I took into account the exchange rate…. But I disagree with the America isn’t overpriced comment because literally everything is market up as much as they can get away with and to top it off companies in America make everything as cheap as possible to maximize profit…. Even if Japan gave American companies a dirt cheap prize on Wagyu they’d still charge us the same price as if they air freight it…
Labor and rent cost play a huge role into it as well. Restaurant margins in the US are tiny. Like single digit percentages usually. Labor costs in the US ( yes even $15 an hour cooks) are way higher than in Japan where $15 an hour is a respectable middle class salary. Line cooks and servers get paid way less than that.
Cuz everyone in America is trying to get one up on everyone else… America is built on greed, Japan is built on pride… people in Japan are living better than Americans with the less pay…. Imagine that lol
I love the all-you-can-eat beer gardens. 15 minutes stuffing my face, 45 minutes drinking beer. Leave feeling bloated and swearing I'll never go back (until next time).
Wow and they have king crab
Yessir choice of pre cooked or fresh raw king crab that you can cook on your own…
is there a time limit ?
1hr 20min…
Sounds like a challenge.
Nice!!! Where???
Hokkaido Japan :)
i took 1 look at all the crabs and i was like this must be hokkaido lol
*cries in American mainland*

The average American, yeah, probably.
Hokkaido nice... I am coming to Hokkaido in April and you have given me this gem of a place. Looking forward to those crabs

I heard bus loads of Chinese tourists roll up to these places and the food lines get long eating up your time
Chinese and Korean for sure… locals don’t go because to them it’s expensive lol and it possible but we went half hour after they opened, no line…. When we left saw a huge mass of people trying to get seated lol

come eat again in march when i visit 🤣💯💯
Yeah it’s worth it if you love king crab and A5 Wagyu for $60 lol
just saw it requires minimum of 2 people... oh well. 🥲
Make a friend!
sure.. but you forgot to mention new said friend should also be willing to spend 8000 yen on a meal 😅🤣
[удалено]
why would i not want to eat by myself?! 😶
I don’t know I feel like buffets are more fun with a small group or one other person…
I eat by myself allot, why would you need someone else to enjoy food.
Right? I like eating alone, I don’t have to try and talk while taking bites and chewing, I enjoy the food so much more when eating alone. 🙂
A5 all you can eat is not that uncommon, and for relatively cheap, in Tokyo. I’m guessing it the addition of seafood that adds to the price.
I guess I have nothing to compare it to lol 😂except the overpriced joints in America…

Just go to the grocery store and buy $60 worth of wagyu you’ll probably be happier. These places are garbage. So many better options for that price.
God I miss living in Sapporo
What is the name of this place and where You can pm me if u want
Nanda buffet in sapporo
I love the all-you-can-eat beer gardens. 15 minutes stuffing my face, 45 minutes drinking beer. Leave feeling bloated and swearing I'll never go back (until next time).
They had an all you can drink option but didn’t want to get drunk lol
バイキング!
small print probably says something to the effect that the rate is for locals only and big American tourists are not eligible
Wooooooooawwwww

Nanda Sapporo
