“Great experience for our first time there. The wait to get in was a little long but can understand why. Food was so good!! Our waitress Rox was AMAZING she was on top of things and Fun lots of laughs. 🤩“

“This is one of our favorite local restaurants.my songs loves the ramen which is always hot, delicious and great portions. My husband and I are huge fans of the poke bowls. Everything is always fresh and delicious. It is one place we can all always agree on and everyone is happy afterwards. The family that owns it are wonderful and always provide excellent service!“

“Sarah was our server and she was excellent Everything was perfection. Had a lovely Birthday celebration.“

“the AYCE feels too good to be true, probably among the most reasonably priced in the area. 30 bucks seems like a lot but you get your money’s worth within only a couple orders. when i did it for the first time i tried all sorts of nigiri i’d never been able to afford to try bc usually its $1-$2 per piece alone and it was seriously one of the best experiences i had eating sushi! i recommend it for anybody who wants to try something new but doesnt want to spend money on something they may not end up liking. and they aren’t very meticulous about leftovers, my friend had a few rolls left and wasn’t charged extra. the vibes of the restaurant are really good too and they use up the space they have nicely, with good music too. the one lady server is also extremely friendly and really goes out of her way to interact with the people she serves and does her job with pure care and enthusiasm. the special rolls are also fire, especially the pheonix roll. the fish is always so fresh and the variety is awesome, one of my favorite spots and i hope they don’t change a thing!“

“Absolutely amazing Japanese restaurant! The sushi is super fresh, especially the misushiro (miso soup) — full of flavor and perfectly balanced. The shrimp dishes are also outstanding — juicy, perfectly cooked, and seasoned just right. The staff is friendly, the place is cozy, and everything comes out beautifully presented. Definitely one of the best Japanese spots around! Highly recommend! 🍣🍤“

“I did not expect the sushi here to be as good as it is. The gyoza is delicious and authentically pan fried. The sushi rice is made perfectly (seriously some of the best I've EVER had) and the fish is great quality, especially their salmon. I love that the spicy tuna roll has sriracha instead of sriracha mayo. The crunchy salmon roll is so good. Best sushi in the Fort Erie area by far.“

“I went for the first time today. I had the shrimp combo and it was absolutely excellent. I would highly recommend.“

“Me and my friend finally visited and can’t rave about this place enough! Our jasmine peach refresher was such a beautiful palate cleanser. We each got the shoyu ramen - that broth is a game changer. Everything was cooked to perfection. Try the taiyaki - it’s made fresh! We will definitely be coming back. Amazing service as well!“

“This place is busy for a reason. First time visit for dinner. We ordered sushi and sashimi pieces. The raw fish and seafood was top notch. Beautiful presentation and priced relatively well. The Jalapeño yellow fin app was amazing; we ordered a second one!

Downsides were, the waitress seemed to not know the drink menu well. I asked for the sparkling sake and she questioned it several times until finally saying we dont have it. We also waited for a long time for a meal to come out.

I would still visit again despite these setbacks.“

“Absolutely phenomenal! The food and staff were top notch and we will be returning! We got the Angry Birds, Buffalo Roll, Chicken, Steak, White Tuna appetizer, and Beef! All were delicious with ZERO complaints! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“Some of the best sushi I have tasted In a while“

“good food eating dinner with my best friends tonight!!😀😎“

“10/10!!! Those were the best spring rolls I have ever had! Everything was sooooo good! The service was great, reasonable prices! I loved it and would definitely go again if I was in the area! I will likely crave this place once I get back to NYC.“

“Nice restaurant with good service and food was good“

“I have been eating here for years! Food is always beyond amazing. The language barrier is sometimes difficult but trust me, the food is worth it! I have been eating from the same cook for as long as I can remember. The food is worth an hour drive! Always stop by!“

“first time customer and the food and service is top of the line. Also the prices are really reasonable. I definitely would recommend“

“Delicious Kimchi Beef Udon!!“

“My partner and I absolutely love getting the bento boxes from here. The other food is also really good. But the bento boxes are our favorite. I've tried the beef , chicken, and pork from there and they season them so well. I've been going here for the last 6-7 years and have yet to be disappointed. If you get a bento box, order the fried dumplings. Their dumpling sauce is also really good. They also have a very diverse selection of beverages and boba tea.
Featured in the photos of my recent meal: fried dumplings, rice, small side salad, chicken teriyaki, pineapple boba drink, and a unique flavored green tea.“

“Bad bad experience. I was served and finished my dinner before my wife got any of what she ordered. Flagged down several people with restaurant uniform on and was totally ignored. Asked for the bill and waited ten minutes before I had to flag down a person to pay. We’ll never go back, ever!!“

“Food is always top notch and the service is as well. Very clean and well taken care of restaurant. It's a favorite place for my wife and I to get our food from.“

“I love the owners, music, and food. This place is a vibe- best servers.❤️“

“We’ve ordered from Hokkaido Cafe many times but decided to dine in this time. The food was fantastic. Favorite appetizers were crispy chicken and edamame. And you can never go wrong with the sushi and the ramen. There are so many different combinations you’d have to just keep coming back to try them all - which we plan to do. The tonkotsu and shoyu broth options are our favorites. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent! Been there numerous times; food is consistently excellent and made how you like it (spiciness). Highly recommend for Ramen soup.“
