We're greeted as soon as we walked in and are seated immediately. The menu offers a variety of sushi, sashimi, ramen, katsu (several versions), desserts, and beverages. The inside has nice decor and plenty of seating with tables, booths, and bar seating. We enjoyed fried oysters, katsudon, and spicy katsu ramen. All were pretty tasty and prepared well. Service was good and the restaurant is clean. We have enjoyed several meals here and will probably continue to do so. Recommend giving Hokkaido a try.

Driving up,…read moreit's nothing spectacular: it's in an old Taco Bell, with a pergola in front for outdoor seating. It's on a busy corner, so getting in and out was a little difficult. But once I got inside, it was well worth the trouble. You place your order at the counter, then they deliver to your table. The cashier who took my order was very cheerful and was patient with me as I asked questions about the menu. I placed my order for the beef/shrimp combo plate and soft drink and found a table. My miso soup and salad were delivered quickly. The soup is very much like you get at any similar establishment. The salad was basic, with a sufficient amount of the pleasantly zingy ginger dressing. When the wait staff delivered my salad and soup, the also delivered containers of the sauces. This was the first highlight of my visit: most places make you choose just one sauce and then give you the tiny plastic condiment cups of just that one (with some charging you extra if you want more). Not here! They brought out both the shrimp sauce and the ginger sauce in containers I'm accustomed to seeing with pancake syrup in them. I was thrilled to think that I didn't have to ration every drop of the sauces! Then my meal was delivered. A generous portion of both meats and veggies. In many of these types of restaurants, the standard beef can be a little chewy and sometimes very overcooked (I generally order my steaks medium rare). At Kami, every bite of the steak was nice and tender; juicy and not overcooked. Once again, add the fact that I could use as much of each sauce as I wanted and this was easily once of the best small hibachi-style restaurants I've ever been to. Adding to the great food was the fact that someone was regularly walking around the dining area offering refills and making sure everything was good. Definitely a place I'd revisit if I'm in the area again!

I got the hibachi chicken entree with white rice and vegetables (which turned out to be stir fried zucchini and onions). My boyfriend ordered the hibachi chicken bowl with fried rice and for some reason his had a glaze/sauce on it while mine didn't (which was fine with me). The chicken was chopped up thighs and it came with a cup of a pinkish mayonnaisey sauce on the side. They also have sushi which I'm not completely sure that I would order. Apparently they are in a new location that's more than double the size of the previous location. The interior is nice and cozy with a partially open kitchen. Interestingly, everyone working there was speaking Spanish, so don't go expecting authentic Japanese.
