Hokkaido Cafe

Excellent food all around, and SO many good appetizers. We usually get some combination of takoyaki, katsu, and ramen; their sushi is great too. Radish cakes get an honorable mention. And one of the employees drew Luffy on our bag last time as a fun surprise!

Coming from NYC where sushi/poke spots are of abundance, I was skeptical when someone suggested this spot for lunch. I got the bowl with 2 protein, hubby got their 3 roll lunch special, and we got chicken hibachi to share. For drinks we got passion fruit tea - I love that they put pieces of actual passion fruit in the drink but wayyyy to much syrup. It was too sweet for me (keep in mind that I’m the type of person that gets tea without sugar - so you might enjoy the sweetness!) We ordered online and it was easy to navigate. I was disappointed with how many toppings we can get - I’m used to getting 8 or unlimited in NYC. HOWEVER, they gave a hefty amount of the 4 toppings and the amount they give in the entire bowl is very filling. For protein I got their spicy tuna and salmon. The salmon pieces were large/chunky and fresh - the pieces I get in NYC are about half the size, so this was a nice surprise! The spicy tuna was good, but is pre seasoned, so with the dressing it gets a bit salty - I would just get tuna next time. For the 3 rolls, everything was delicious - the rice on the sushi was nice and thin. Hibachi chicken’s sauce leaked everywhere on the way home - despite the mess, it was also really good and came with a mix of veggies. All in all, a great quick, sushi spot and would def go back when I’m in Buffalo!

Came back after they had some renovations. How they turned this place around since they started is amazing. I had a great experience when it first opened. I had an even better experience today. The place is so nicely done. I really like that they have great food choices and sell boba with that wasn’t there before. The quality of the food is amazing and so are the workers. Had a Taro milk tea, the taro tasted very authentic. It’s not like cheap powder other places use. The atmosphere here is very nice. It’s a wonderful place. A secret restaurant for Buffalo.

I love it here, their sweet potato rolls are so good. They are tempura so the warm sweet potato has that crunch and combined with the sweet eel sauce is it like a dessert. Vegetable, california, and avocado rolls are also my top favorite here. We had a party of about ten one time, and there was a large mobile order happening at the same time and we got a few dishes that were meant to go to the mobile order so it is definitely better to come in a group of four or less people.

Very friendly service. I walked in a bit uncomfortable with what I was going to order. The friendly service changed that right away. I wasn't rushed and even was able to ask for something not on the menu. I got the UB roll, volcano roll and the food was super fresh and outstanding. We also got the ramen which is awesome as well. We will be back and I recommend to anyone. Likely the best sushi I have had in Buffalo.

We came across this nice small Japanese joint while driving past it. Loved the sushi, and the beef salmon hibachi rice. The serving was big and spicy. We also tried the Ramen. The prices were a bit on the pricey side, but given that there is not a lot of Japanese options in town. Along with the hibachi, we got a side of vegetables. The sauce on it was so goood, we kept having more.

i love this place!!! sooo tasty with hearty servings.it doesn’t have that pseudo-fancy sushi grill kind of feel. has a nice, mom-and-pop kind of charm. will definitely come back.

We’ve moved from Seattle where Japanese community big and there are a good choice of great sushi places. Hokkaido Sushi is our place to go now to get fresh delicious sushi in Wiliamsville area. There is an option with brown rice which we loved! The chef is very friendly and always greets with the smile. Also, I’ve been ordering their sushi through app Beyond Menu “to go” and my order was always ready pretty fast. Highly recommended!
