About Donto Sapporo Japanese Restaurant

Tucked inside Sorrento Shopping Village, Donto Sapporo serves unhurried, time-tested Japanese comfort without modern shortcuts. Gold Coast regulars book ahead for the raw bar alone—think thick cuts of bluefin otoro and chutoro alongside sweet uni and namachirashi bowls. The kitchen balances that precision with sprawling teishoku sets, packing lacquered trays with silky chawanmushi, crisp tempura, savory unagi, and roasted kama fish wings. Tables fill fast at dinner, spilling out toward a dog-friendly veranda where cold soba and steamy sukiyaki beef bowls land with reassuring familiarity.

  • Bluefin Tuna & Fresh Uni: Chefs slice bluefin tuna—including prized chutoro and otoro—to order alongside fresh uni and multi-seafood chirashi bowls.
  • Traditional Teishoku Sets: Multi-dish set meals arrive with balanced sides like savory chawanmushi custard, unagi, tempura, and roasted fish wings.

Before you head over

Practical guidance on reservations, multi-dish set meals, and premium seafood selections.

  • Book ahead to secure a table

    The dining room is frequently booked out for both lunch and dinner services. Secure a reservation well in advance, or expect communal table seating if walking in.

  • Choose multi-dish set meals for value

    For a comprehensive traditional meal, opt for full teishoku or bento sets like the Sapporo Bento or Unagi Gozen, which feature sides like chawanmushi, sashimi, and tempura.

  • Ask about sashimi platter customizations

    Specialty delicacies like fresh oysters sell out early, but the kitchen accommodates custom modifications such as substituting bluefin cuts onto sashimi platters.
