This buffet style Japanese Restaurant is only ok. The buffet changes a little from day to day so you do get some variety.
The sushi offered is decent at best, nothing to get too excited over. Its a nice change from the norm, but at about $15 for a mediocre hodgepodge of food it is far from a bargain.

GREAT!!!
by mike06
This place is really small but it has a charming atmosphere. For those who love sushi, you will be able to taste a variety of rolls, also for those who don't like sushi, they provide regular japanese food too. You have a choice of seating outside with heaters and blankets! Or if you prefer inside, you can choose between the tables or sushi bar. The staff is very knowledgable and provide good service. But don't get caught off guard, make sure to make reservations especially on weekends or you'll miss out on this cute little restaurant and their delicious food. A very fun place to eat!

The Freshest and Tastiest Sushi and Seafood in Orange County
by laker247
Wow, where do I start. I do not remember enjoying a buffet so much outside of Las Vegas. Usually I walk into a buffet and cruise around to see a monstrous salad bar but when it comes to seafood the options are few and far between. But at Hokkaido they have an unbelievable amount of sushi and sashimi selection, fresh nice cuts of steak that they grill to order, and my two favorites crab legs and lobster tails. The prices are very affordable when you consider that there are Japanese restaurants that charge you the same amount just for the lobster tail. I ate so much this last time that I did get to the huge dessert bar, but next time I told myself I will pace myself.
Pros: Super Lobster and Delicious Steak Cooked to Order!
Cons: I wish it was closer to my home but worth driving an hour

Great Seafood Selection!!
by steven chien
This place is very good. The high caliber of dishes is really impressive. This is not your typical asian buffet. The food quality is really high with an upscale decor (for a buffet). They have live spiny lobster, alaskan dungeouness crab and grilled NY steak yesterday. Don't see this at your normal asian buffet. The sushi is also very good with a variety of choices you see in your most expensive Japanese sushi restaurants (ie. amaebi, salmon roe, unagi, etc.). The amazing thing is the price you pay vs. what you get. The meal we ate should have cost at least twice as much for what you get.
Pros: So Many Choices and Quality of Food is very Good
Cons: Impossible to try all items in a single visit!!
