Hokkaido Buffet offers a range of food with consistent quality, featuring a good selection of Asian and American dishes. Many items are fresh and delicious, making it a nice choice for those looking for a great experience. The sushi station stands out with a wide variety, including California Rolls, Fried Rolls Tempura, and Unagi California, while the seafood options like clams and shrimp are tasty. The buffet is praised for its flavor, color, and taste, making it a wonderful experience for anyone dining alone or with someone special.
The restaurant provides excellent service for drinks and is generally friendly and attentive. The price offers good value, especially for big appetites, with lunch prices around $20. However, some dishes like Fried Chicken and Dim Sum can be hit or miss. The Fried Chicken was bland during one visit, but on another occasion, Chicken Wings were juicy and crispy. The Shumai is not recommended, but the Custard Bun is real good and often soft.
While the buffet includes a variety of salads, it lacks tomatoes and has limited vegetarian options. The facilities are in need of an upgrade, as they have not been updated in a long time. Some guests noted that the restaurant could get warm, and the restrooms could use improvement. The Fried Tempura, especially the Sweet Potato and Acorn Squash, is praised as really good, and the Soft Serve Vanilla is a favorite for many, though some have pointed out the bananas can be too ripe.
Overall, Hokkaido Buffet provides decent food at a fair price, particularly for those who enjoy sushi and seafood. However, there have been concerns about MSG seasoning leading to headaches after eating.
