Other well sushi

My sister and I found this gem of a restaurant in a strip mall. The Japanese cuisine was wonderful. The menu is extensive, from sushi to donburi and anything in-between. There are so many of my favorites that I have a difficult time choosing. That's when the bento box is an outstanding decision. You can order one or two of your favorites for lunch. For dinner, you can choose 3 items for your bento box. But beware, the portions are generous. The staff is very warm and welcoming. I will have to return many more times because there are so many of my favorites to choose from.

Each time I come to this restaurant I find myself loving it even more than the last. From the attention that is paid to the quality of the food to the friendly service of the staff. The passion of the chefs is shown through the tasty and presentable sushi they deliver. Absolutely the BEST sushi spot I have ever been to. At this point, I do not even bother going anywhere else but here because nothing compares. A customer for life. Thanks guys.

We’ve been coming here for almost 5 years I spent about $300 a month. I decided to stop on the way home today for happy hour. Well they told me that happy hour was not available for takeout. What a joke instead of spending $150 I spend $60. Wow, great management. Other than that the food is amazing. Not only that this piss me off I spend less money and most likely won’t be back that often! Sad we loved that place.

One of the joys of living in a city is the local restaurant scene. It's pretty tasty in Las Vegas. In many cases a Las Vegas Strip casino lured the chefs here to work in a casino restaurant. Eventually they get tired of the grind and open their own restaurants close to home to be nearer to their families. This is our gain. Hokaido (with one K; there's a Hokkaido a few miles north) is a southwest Las Vegas gem. Even if you are coming from the Strip or even Henderson, it's spittin' distance (as they say in Texas) from the Russell exit off the 215. The restaurant is small which makes it cozy. The jumpin' sushi bar is at the far back of the restaurant. in the middle are long tables for big groups. Cozy coves line the north and south walls. Each has three walls, giving diners privacy...and safety in these covid-infested times. Japanese art and decorations make you believe you just landed in Tokyo. Check out the art on the walls and in each booth. Museum quality! A TV is tuned to an Asian MTV-like station. The music is upscale and danceable. The only lyrics I recognized the entire meal was "suger free." (Great song!) This gives the place a Gen Z vibe. The food is amazing...and affordable. I spent three weeks in Chiba and Okinawa, so I learned pretty quick what the locals eat. (Plus locals don't like toilets in Japan, but I digress). The food at Hokaido was the most authentic Japanese food I've eaten since I got home. Lunch is a bargain. For $9.95 you can sup on a salmon teriyaki lunch box which includes a bowl of steaming miso soup, a salad of crisp greens with an Asian dressing, four California rolls and a small, deboned whole salmon swimming in teriyaki sauce. For $2 more you can add a second item. I had to add the chicken katsu, the fried chicken cutlet served with a sweet ketchup-like sauce, because this is a ubiquitous item on local menus in Japan. I missed it! In 2022, how can you bet this? They serve lunch from 11 until 3. There's also a wonderful selection of udon noodle soups, perfect for the 10 day of cold weather Las Vegas has. There are Japanese ramen soups and poke bowls. This is one place that doesn't have an all-you-can-eat sushi option. The service was classic Japanese: deferential, polite and efficient. Our green tea cups were NEVER empty. The restaurant is in the middle of a strip shopping center, so there is always plenty of parking. You can go to Chinatown and find wonderful Japanese restaurants. The Strip casinos have them too. But wander into this jewel in the southwest and you will have a true taste of Japan.
