Sapporo East

I almost hate to post this because it such a special place. You will not get sushi like this anywhere else. Their specials are unique & exquisite. The seared salmon belly melts as soon as it hits your tongue. Aside from the excellent quality & freshness, the owners & staff make you feel welcome & right at home. For the past 20 years they have never disappointed. Sapporo is a standout.

Had the pleasure of trying a new roll last night at Sapporo East — the Numbuh 5. Spicy toro and cucumber inside, topped with sweet scallop, crunchy chili garlic, tobiko, and spicy mayo. Rich, fresh, and perfectly balanced with just the right heat and crunch. Would definitely order again. 9/10 🍣🌶️

We were excited to try this place and did an online order. It took a tad longer than expected to arrive but was amazing when it arrived. We spoke with management about the wait time and they informed us they are improving their system online to match demand perfectly. We loved the sushi but I equally appreciated management taking ownership of the delay and action when a problem was identified. The food combined with this management team I project they will be around a long time.

Sapporo East? More like Sapporo Fest! This has been one of my favorites during my travels to Virginia Beach. Everything was amazing and I rarely find otoro at sushi places. Left very happy, and would highly recommend this place.

We’ve been coming here for over 2–3 years, and it’s always amazing! The sushi is fresh, the service is great, and the quality is consistently top-notch. Our favorite spot!
