Sapporo Japanese Grill & Sushi, Japanese restaurant in Highlands, Louisville, United States
Sapporo Japanese Grill & Sushi is a Japanese restaurant in the Highlands neighborhood that offers sashimi, sushi rolls, and grilled dishes prepared by experienced chefs at open cooking stations. The kitchen combines both sushi-making craft and hibachi-style grilling, serving both dining styles within the same space.
The restaurant opened on Bardstown Road as one of Louisville's first venues to combine sushi and hibachi dining under one roof. This dual concept helped establish it as a destination for those seeking both traditional cooking experiences.
Chefs perform traditional teppanyaki cooking directly in front of diners at dedicated hibachi stations, making the meal preparation a visible part of the dining experience.
The restaurant opens only for dinner service starting at 5:00 PM and requires formal attire. Weekend visits should be planned ahead with advance reservations to ensure you have a table available.
The menu features uncommon specialty items like bin naga tataki and fried shrimp heads that demonstrate the kitchen's culinary skill. The Fire Dragon roll showcases the attention to detail in sushi preparation that sets this place apart.
