The gentleman at the register was very nice, but unfortunately, the interactions with some of the other staff left a completely different impression. I've noticed before that some of the staff seem to give us uncomfortable looks whenever we come in, but I've never experienced anything direct enough to say anything about it--until this visit. I ordered a sweet tea and paid for it along with our meals before we were seated. The woman who seated us also brought out our drinks, including my sweet tea. We were sitting for roughly 30-45 minutes before anyone came back to ask if we needed refills. By that point, the ice in my drink had completely melted. When the waitress asked what I had been drinking, I told her I had a sweet tea. She repeatedly asked me if I was sure, while looking at my cup, then made a facial expression and shook her head before walking to the front register to speak with the staff who had taken our order and brought us our drinks. I could see them looking in our direction and discussing my drink. At that point, I went to the register myself with my receipt because I wanted to make it clear that I had, in fact, paid for the drink. I wasn't trying to cause a scene--I simply didn't appreciate being made to feel as though I was lying about something I had already paid for. The gentleman at the register said "okay" several times and seemed to dismiss the situation, perhaps because he didn't want it to escalate. I walked away, but I was still left feeling embarrassed and singled out. I can't say for certain what anyone's intentions were, but as a Black customer, the interaction made me feel stereotyped and treated differently. The fact that I had to prove that I paid for a drink that was literally brought to my table by their own staff was especially uncomfortable. There was another moment that added to the overall feeling. My dad thanked the sushi chef, and the chef didn't acknowledge him at all. Again, by itself, that might seem small, but combined with the other interactions and the way we've felt treated during previous visits, it contributed to the overall impression. The food honestly isn't bad, and that's why we've continued coming back. But good food doesn't make up for customers feeling unwelcome or watched because of the color of their skin. I'm sharing this because I hope management takes these experiences seriously and trains staff to treat every customer with the same level of respect. And if you're a person of color who has experienced something similar here, please know that you're not necessarily "tripping" or imagining how you're being treated. Sometimes it's not one obvious incident--it's the accumulation of small interactions that leaves you feeling like you're not welcome. Unfortunately, after this experience, I don't feel comfortable spending my money somewhere that makes my family feel this wa

Lunch comes with soup and salad, at least the hibachi meals do and are totally worth it. They also have pretty banging bento boxes at lunchtime and the sushi straight smack. Dinner is a little bit more pricey, but the portion size are worth it. This is a nice place to bring a group of people or just to come on a date even. Reasonably priced sushi. Staff has always been super friendly. Overall, I definitely recommend this way over Kanpai across the street. You get way more food and the seating isn't as awkward and the vibe is just completely different. Keep up the great work Hokkaido!!!

The store itself is cozy with just a couple small tables to sit at while you wait for your takeout. It is takeout only. With this cozy atmosphere also is the homely atmosphere provided by the staff. It was my first time stopping in and they ring a bell for all first timers. In terms of food, I ordered the chicken fried rice, chicken egg roll, and crab cake egg roll (special). They give you yum yum sauce and ginger sauce with the meal. They also recommend that you combine the sauces to create a "magic" sauce. Let's dive in to the food. The egg rolls were divine. I probably could have eaten 5 or 6. They are bigger than average egg rolls and hand rolled in the shop. When I go back I think I'll just get a few of these. The chicken fried rice was good. The chicken was fresh and had a good flavor too it. The rice was also good especially when you drizzle the sauce into it. It is a deceptive amount of rice. While they say it's just for one, I could have easily shared it with someone. I am overjoyed that this place has opened in Williamsburg. Being here for a while, it gets hard finding new places. It's also always great to know that you are supporting a local business!
