Sapporo sushi makes my heart warm! I love everything in this place: the space, atmosphere, servers, and most of all, I love the good food! Let's just say, I have been to most the AYCE's in Hamilton and when it's all factored in, the only other one that comes close to Sapporo is Spring Sushi (or Sushi Star if you don't care about atmosphere whatsoever).
If you're going for dinner on Thursday and the weekend, definitely make reservations. Even with reservations, you may have to wait a little for your table to clear. Without, I don't know that you'll get a place to sit.
Sapporo is usually busy, but there are many booth style tables and the ones scattered on the floor are far enough that you won't feel like your neighbours are watching every bite you take.
They have a very good menu! I'm not sure whether they charge for leftovers. Picky eaters, ask before you begin and save yourself some dough!
They also serve alcohol, which is a nice perk if you're looking for some liquid courage--to eat more.
Prices are very fair, about $14 for weekday lunch and $19 for dinner. Add a couple of dollars for weekends. Discounts for seniors and children nine and under.
You can see their AYCE menu here http://www.sapporohami.... They also have a take-out menu, but I've never really seen anyone take out of this place, and I've been here enough times.
Try their Las Vegas roll; delectable.
Make sure to get the parking slip from inside and put it under the windshield; it's free and saves you a possible fine. -

read some reviews on Yelp and tried it with my wife.
Service is fast and efficent and the food was excellent.
Best all you can eat sushi we ever had and it came quickly.
The staff does not make you wait forever between ordering and recieving your food, and the food was amazing, we will be back to sample the dinner menu.
What a find!!!
Thank you fellow Yelper's for finding this place for us -

Since I'm not a sushi extraordinaire I'll let my fellow Yelper's review the finer details of the culinary options available at Sapporo, but I can comment on my first experience here and why I was generally impressed.
First off, I made the trek here in the middle of a furious blizzard. I stormed into Sapporo with my dead down as though I was running from the bulls in Pamplona. Fully expecting that the restaurant would be as sparse as can be in the middle of a storm, I popped my head up to find the rather large restaurant nearly full. I was shocked! I thought to myself, 'If all these people felt compelled to make the trip here in the middle of insanity outside then this place must be worth it'. Immediately my interest peaked and I felt much more comfortable about what I was about to stuff into my stomach (especially considering my lack of knowledge when it comes to Japanese meal options).
The wait staff was extremely friendly and were very prompt at all times throughout my lunch. I found the restaurant to be quite clean considering I came late in the lunch hour and since it was nearly a packed house.
I had the all you can eat sushi lunch that tasted quite good with fairly generous portions. Like I said, I'll leave the culinary aspect of these reviews to more experienced sushi-yelpers, but I certainly didn't run into anything to raise an eyebrow at.
So if you're in downtown Hamilton and you want to dive into some sushi, I certainly recommend giving Sapporo a shot! -

I've been to Sapporo sushi many times when I was a student in Hamilton. When I give it a four star rating, this is a Hamilton four star, and not generally amazing, but good nonetheless.
Sapporo is definitely the best Japanese Food in town, and their all you can eat sushi is a good experience. I frequently order from their ala carte menu for takeout. If not going for the all you can eat, I would suggest trying the oyako donburi. It's delicious.
There is a parking available in the lot outside the restaurant, however it is frequently full. If you do find an empty space, you will have to get a parking pass from the desk at in a restaurant.
There are other good Asian Restaurants in the city, but for Japanese Food, this is the De Facto standard. -

not everyday you find an 'all you can chow' sushi bar that serves authentic sushi. this place is definitely a good suggestion by fellow yelpers. Thank you!
i'm in hamilton for a business trip and had the opportunity to eat at sapporo and the raw fish were very fresh and there are a variety to choose from. if you are a sushi fan, this place is worth a visit. come hungry and early because this place will fill up fast with a mixture of every culture; the majority of whom are japanese. if the japanese show up here, you know it's good.... and no, i'm not japanese:-) -

Was very impressed for AYCE sushi. Went for lunch...very busy, but wait times for food wasn't that bad. $15 for all you can eat is pretty reasonable, mind you some things are only available for dinner (ie sashimi, and other specialty rolls) Found ingredients fresh, and well worth the $.

This place is awesome! $19 for all-you-can eat sushi and other stuff? Sign me up! Here's the deal about Sapporo -- you can order absolutely anything off the menu: sushi rolls, hand rolls, tempura, salad, soup, dessert. Yup, all of that for only $19 at dinner, 2 bucks more on the weekends. Our service (thanks, Alonzo!) was fun and good, our food was delicious, what more could you want? They've even got these great big booths which comfortably fit 6 people. I would absolutely return here if I'm ever in Hamilton again.

Fantastic place for all you can eat sushi! Their lunch menu is only 14$ for lunch and 19$ for dinner on weekdays and it's all you can eat to the table, so you can sample anything off of the menu and they'll bring it to you. This means that big groups are better, because then you can try lots of different things without worrying about wasting food. If you're there with people who've never had sushi before or aren't sure about it, they can still enjoy a great meal - the grilled sirloin steak and the mixed vegetable tempura in particular are delicious!
The service is prompt and friendly, the staff are always around to refill your tea (Japanese tea is included in the price), or to bring you a new item when you ask. Even when they're crazy-busy, your food still comes pretty consistently quickly. All around, the best sushi place in the city.
