    I love this place. We come here all the time. The staff is friendly. It's not huge and they always seem to be busy but there's never a line. The food quality is very good. Sometimes I grab takeout and sometimes we come in and hang out. I've never had anything bad here in the dozens of times I've been here. The sushi is well-made and pretty, everything is tasty. I'm sure I'll be here in the next week or so again. If you're on the west side, you should definitely give it a try.

    Stopped on for dinner on our way south. Everything was excellent' the staff moved like a machine. Fast and friendly service. We had the steamed gyoza, sushi and chicken fried rice.

    We have a Japanese restaurant nearby that never fails us. Sushi and Hibachi is mostly always decent, however their pricing continues to go up. Hokkaido popped up on Google maps one day. It's about a 15 minutes drive with good reviews plus their sushi is cheaper. I decided to try them one night for dinner. I placed my order online and paid online. There's no email confirmation nor anything that let me know when the order would be ready. So I left 15 minutes after I placed the order. It was ready at the front counter when I arrived. I ordered a chicken hibachi which came with a salad and fried rice. The usual place included udon noodles along with a soup even if I ordered a salad. So they win there, but the food was on par. My wife ordered the spicy tuna, California, dynamite, and I might have ordered the shrimp tempura roll. All were good. She wasn't a fan of the dynamite roll. They included chop sticks, forks, teriyaki sauce, shrimp sauce and soy sauce in the bag. We were very satisfied with the food. A little further but I think the next visit will be for dine-in.

    Our local go-to for great Japanese food. The Sushi was excellent. Their Amazing Roll snd Spicy Salmon are my faves. Follow it up with the coldest Sapporo in town and it's a good night. Excellent service, too!

    Stopped in to place a to go order. It's a cozy place so I waited at the counter to be greeted. I placed my order fairly quickly and was told it be a 15-20 minute wait. 20 mins later I had fresh hot food. They do charge extra for additional sauces and the parking lot it quite busy considering the restaurant is located in a plaza. All the food was delicious but the chicken was dry.

    Today's lunch was amazing. Went to lunch with coworkers today and it was mostly an empty house. Staff were very attentive. Coworkers and I ordered Hibachi Lunch Combos. Some of us Chicken and Shrimp, Steak and Shrimp, and I ordered Chicken and Salmon. The food was exceptional and reasonably priced for lunch. The ambiance was dimly lit and colorful and the restaurant would be great for a date night with a spouse or significant other.

    A true hidden gem!!! My husband and I just happened to stumble across this place and decided to give them a try. To say we were impressed is an understatement. Don't let the small storefront fool you - they have a warm & welcoming atmosphere. The food is incredible. We both ordered the Steak Hibachi. They are extremely generous with their portion sizes. I even asked for extra yum yum & they put in a whole tub. The food was flavorful - the miso soup was even tasty! Our food was also ready within 15-20 minutes. I was not expecting this place to be as wonderful as it was, but we will definitely be ordering again. Highly recommend.

    Good ratio of fish to rice in 2 Salmon Sushi
    Kathryn G.

    I was in the area for the night and looking for a sushi spot close to my hotel...Hokkaido did not disappoint! The dinner special of 2 rolls, 2 pieces of sushi, and a soup or salad (or 3 rolls and a soup or salad) for $15.50 is an insanely good price! And it was a great amount of food (I opted for the 2 rolls + 2 sushi + ginger salad). Ordering over the phone was quick and painless, plus my estimate was only 20 minutes which was great. The restaurant looked small but cute inside, though I didn't stay. The C19 Spicy Salmon Roll was creamy and the perfect amount of heat. The C22 Alaska Roll had a good ratio of ingredients and tasted fresh. The Salmon Sushi was creamy and had a good ratio of fish to rice. The Salad had a great ginger sauce. I'm overall super pleased with this restaurant and would definitely come back if I was in the area again!

    Amazing neighborhood restaurant the sushi is awesome and fresh. The hibachi is delicious they do not cook infront of you but food is great. Service is always friendly and quick . Cute restaurant. Love the lighting and they usually decorate for holidays too.

    Vegetable hibachi $12.50
    E C.

    Friendly, attentive service along with good quality food. Quiet, clean and peaceful setting. My only complaint is that they don't give you enough rice for your hibachi order and if you ask for more, they charge you $3.50 for an extra little bowl of rice.

    Hibachi steak and shrimp
    Deb N.

    Had dinner at Hokkaido. It was good but the experience was a little weird. The woman who "greeted" us basically led us towards our table and said sit there, while tossing the menus at the table. There was a setting for two and she didn't bother to add an additional for our group of three. She then asked in a gruff voice what we wanted to drink. We all ordered hibachi style- but they do not cook in front of you here. It is all table service. I ordered the steak and shrimp, not the filet and shrimp. I also ordered a vegetable tempura appetizer. My husband ordered the filet and our daughter ordered the vegetable plate. The appetizer was good. It consisted of two pieces of broccoli, two mushrooms, two onion rings, and two sweet potatoes- all tempura style. My dinner included vegetables( onions, squash, zucchini) and "fried" rice which was basically white rice with some sauce on it. There were no eggs, or carrots or vegetables in the "fried" rice. My steak and shrimp were both very good though. My husband's enjoyed his filet and had the same rice and veg with his. Our daughter had a large plate of veggies which were the onions and squash but she is a vegetarian and she really liked it. Plenty of food for her. The inside of the small restaurant is pretty cool and the gentleman who did most of the waiting on us was very nice. I will say that I noticed after we left that they charged me for a fillet and shrimp. I'm not sure if that's what I got. I didn't go back and question it, but just saying I ordered the steak and shrimp. Anyway- we would probably skip this if we were passing back through. P.S. No military discount here

I'll usually filter out restaurants by the average / amount of reviews and this was a top contender. Located inside an unassuming shopping plaza, we backed into a suitable parking spot and finally entered the legendary Sushi Bear. The first thing we instinctually noticed was an odd, chemical smell (hopefully cleaning product / hence the knocked off star) and some of the walls looked to be under renovation and partially covered with incoherent children's scribble, but no big deal. We were promptly sat and immediately served a complimentary holiday roll and clear soups which were both very tasty. Soon after, our order was taken and within minutes was brought to us which we quickly filled up on. The staff were VERY attentive and friendly. The food was excellent and I will 100% be returning here whenever I need another convenient sushi fix. Highly recommended for the area. - Lou Sassle

The Holiday Roll was an incredible surprise--I absolutely loved it. Bonus: the portions were large enough that I had plenty of leftovers for lunch today. Lauren got the Drunken Noodles, but fair warning on the spice levels: she usually handles heat well and ordered a Spice Level 2, but it was incredibly fiery! She probably should have stuck to a Level 1, though she still managed to eat a good bit of it. The decor inside this location is fantastic, and watching the robot waiter cruise around the dining room adds such a fun touch to the atmosphere. Highly recommend!

When I first came in after the remodel I was skeptical, but day after day (hit after hit) Wasabi delivers. The food is AYCE and is made fresh to order. I'm a huge fan of nigiri so this is such a dea.

This is a great place to take people new to sushi who are discovering their preferences ( please consider the sweet potato sushi, it will be better than you anticipate). Please be warned, there is a price per sushi piece left behind. While I never seen the staff bring down the hammer, it is a clearly written rule. Also, if one person at the table orders AYCE then shares their food you will be charged for two AYCE (which makes sense). The interior is simple but the vibes are immaculate, super laid back and they often give small gifts during certain holidays. The AYCE is approx 16 dollars until 3, their dinner prices increase.
