GAS! we're practically regulars haha! the staff are the sweetest, extremely kind and they recognize my family from us being here so frequently. the layout is sooo cute and lit up so cutely with colored lights during dinner hours. the blossom tree when you enter is so beautiful, all the decor is absolute eye candy. alongside with the little robot server-- SO CUTE! the cooking/sushi bar is open for people to see-- cool design choice. for appetizers the karaage (japanese fried chicken) is given in bigger portions during lunch, but smaller during dinner, so plan accordingly, it's perfectly crunchy and juicy, works well with the sweet chili sauce. the bang bang shop personally is my FAVORITE. the shrimp pieces are HUGE and so crispy, the sauce it's doused in is one of my favorites! i need a bottle of it personally. for entrees, the rolls are very filling, and EXTREMELY FRESH! i will say the sashimi is on the pricier side so not worth it imo. but everything else is divine. typically deep fried rolls get too filling and make you feel overly stuffed, but hokkaido cooks them to perfection. the regular special rolls are unique and great flavor pairings. the ramen is AMAZING. very filling and full of flavors that compliment each other wonderfully. the broth is rich and the side chilli oil sauce that they give pairs with it nicely. the portions are huge, we can barely finish it most of the time. read more

I'm a big fan of Pho and always looking for the next bowl of noodles and flavor. Entering this place was a bit confusing and no one was there to greet us. We finally approached the bartender and asked if we were to seat ourselves. They hesitated for a moment and called someone to come help us. We continued waiting another few minutes and a server came and put our name on the list. Though the restaurant was about 30% seated we waited about 20 minutes. We were sat and our server told us it'd be a minute longer before she could get to us. We sat at the table closest to the open air kitchen. Server showed up after us waiting another 5 minutes. We ordered and the food came up quickly and everything looked and smelled amazing. The gyoza came out hot and very flavorful. The pho looked better than it tasted, it was bland though the vegetables and proteins were cooked good. The flavor was more like a broth, it lacked substance, umami and depth as I expected. The prices are a bit high, the environment was bright and loud, definitely not a place for that first date. But great place if you and your friends are wanting to sit and talk loudly to each other. Overall not the best but a good place to take someone who's not expecting real traditional flavors. read more

My son and I came here for lunch. My sushi was delicious. He got one of the deep fried rolls that was not his favorite. The overall aesthetic is strong and the service was great. I'd definitely come back. read more

Hokkaido - Bubble tea. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

I'm in town for a conference and walked around downtown to try and find dinner. The entrance and the decor is really pretty. Took a minute for me to be recognized and seated but once seated the service was fast and the food was fast to come out. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. The broth in my ramen (chicken) didn't really have flavor. I asked for some chili sauce to add but that didn't really help. read more

We were so excited to try a new Japanese spot in town. Japanese is my favorite! And this place was amazing, for Columbia/Missouri especially. The restaurant is actually pretty big! Open area, able to see the kitchen and chefs, lots of booths. The staff were all so friendly. The five stars is mainly for the ramen and the staff. The sushi was good but not amazing, but for Columbia this place is awesome. - Takoyaki (4/5): I loved this! It was creamy and delicious. My husband wanted more octopus but I enjoyed it. - Chicken karage (3.5/5): The flavor was okay, and I wish the chicken was more crispy. - Garlic tonkatsu ramen (4.5/5): I love the flavor of the broth! So savory, perfectly salty. The noodles were Al dente. Probably some of the best ramen I have had in Columbia. - Volcano roll (4/5): This was a deep fried roll but it was a good portion size and tasty. - Black dragon roll (4/5): This was good, but I feel the shrimp tempura could be more crispy or fresh. read more

Food was good. But they ruined the deep fried roll, I mean come on we are amercia we love everything that is deep fried. A.I waiter sucks tbh( don't like the clankers). It new millennial spot that feels like they would have ai cat art. That is the just of the ambiance of the place. read more

Gave them another chance. Came during lunch and our gyoza came after our food and was cold. I told the server and she did nothing about it. I given this place one too many chances. read more

The ramen here was delicious! The price matched the quality and the portion sizes! The broth was rich and tasty and there was a lot of noodles and meat! The server was super attentive and kind and checked on us frequently which was amazing. The food came out quickly after ordering as well which is a plus. The restaurant itself was in a good location with easy to find parking, was very clean, and was decorated to mimic the streets of Tokyo which was super cool and lively. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Hokkaido - Spicy miso ramen - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Absolutely awful. I've came here 2 times with reservations made and every single time they somehow forget we have it and we have to stand here for 30-45 min waiting to be seated. It's extremely frustrating!!!! read more

Such a good ramen place! I don't have enough good things to say about this place. To start, the ambiance is impeccable. Upscale "downtown Tokyo" feel with nice artwork throughout. Seems like a good date night spot. Service was fast and efficient. Then the food. The Tonkotsu ramen? 10/10. Very flavorful broth, super tender meat, and they don't rip you off with the amount of meat they give you. I tried the Bozeman roll as well and again, very large portion for a reasonable price. And also very delicious. Finally, the Boba. I'm generally skeptical about boba at non-boba focused joints, but this has got to be some of the best I've had! The pearls were perfectly soft and tender and had a very good sweet brown sugar flavor. Sometimes boba is mostly just texture, but they made it very well to where I was digging out every tapioca pearl from the bottom of the drink. Note that the pearls will stiffen up as it sits in the drink too long, so best to drink it ASAP when you get it for the full experience! I will definitely be back! read more

food is amazing. Really annoyed that they had Newsmax on the television. If you're going to have televisions in your restaurant, make it about entertainment, not about politics. read more

This is probably the best ramen spot in Columbia. Everything I got was delicious except I probably will not be getting the sesame rice balls again, they just had a bean filling I wasn't a fan of. The ramen was spicy with a lot of flavors in it, the pork belly in it was top tier as well. The sushi and gyoza was very good too. I will definitely be returning, the inside ambience was very inviting yet also slightly upscale feeling. All of the workers were kind as well I will be retuning very soon. read more

*BEWARE OF FOOD ALLERGIES * I came here with my friend and it was so nice ! The ambiance was everything and I would reccomend coming at night. The restaurant is very clean and you can even see the chefs cooking in the back. Upon receiving our food I tried the broth and then realized they messed up my spicy beef and gave me pork ! As someone who can't eat pork this was upsetting and we had to reorder my spicy beef ramen and make sure with the cooks no pork was added! Food review Takoyaki 9/10 It's so soft and moist inside but doesn't contain much octopus! Chicken karaage 10/10 Perfectly crispy and the sauce pairs so well with it! Spicy beef 10/10 It was so good. The beef fell off the bone and the broth was perfect !! read more

Ramen was really good. Seared Tuna was okay at best. Spacious and good environment. The waiter was extremely nice. Definitely will go back!

Terribly slow service Seaweed salad was mediocre Spicy tuna roll was flavorless Spicy ramen was't spicy and the chicken was in large overcooked tasteless slices. The worst part of the experience was the presence of the dirty table next to us and the bus cart right over my shoulder. The cart was blocking the aisle and smelly and was there for over 15 minutes, yes I timed it. Won't be returning, there are other choices here in COMO. read more

The ramen broth could be better. It's lacking the umami flavor and richness of the broth. The noodles are perfect. The chasu needs more flavor. But the place is clean and big. Pls consider my review as constructive criticism. read more

A new favorite! Delicious options, clean, and fun atmosphere. Glad to have this in CoMo. read more

Hokkaido - Tantamen- pork ramen - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

I loved their Spicy Ramen! My boyfriend got the Tantanmen, and it wasn't nearly as good though :( so I think the quality may vary a lot depending on what you order! Nevertheless, I'm giving it five stars because the Spicy Ramen was so perfect! Loved the noodles, which were bouncy and firm! Broth was also super flavorful and spicy :) Out of the toppings, I really liked the bok choy and egg, but the meat was just ok and the texture of the bamboo shoots was a bit soggy. I still loved it overall though! And one bowl was plenty of food. They gave me twice as many noodles as I expected, it was HUGE. read more

Matcha tastes like clean, fresh grass--in the best way. Mango boba is super flavorful and the texture is perfect. Definitely coming back for more! read more

Some of the best sushi in Columbia if you factor in speed of getting seated/served, price, and quality/quantity! The service is also really great. My new go to! read more

Such amazing fast service but atmosphere is a vibe! The sushi was to die for as well as the best chicken fried rice I have had here thus far- so much flavor! read more

We waited over 45 minutes for our food, and watched while parties who had been seated 20 minutes after we came in got their food first. We eventually gave up and asked for our checks. Incredibly disappointing experience. They also don't have a liquor license yet, so be warned that alcohol isn't being served. read more

Very mediocre ramen. Definitely not worth the price. I've made better ramen at home from an instant noodle pack and adding chicken.

went again for dinner and the food and service has gone downhill a lot unfortunately. the ramen broth was kinda bland and there wasn't as much toppings/meat compared to the first two times I had gone. the service in the evening has always been a little slow but now the food isn't really worth the wait read more

Really enjoyed our lunch and food was delicious. Will visit again. Server was great and food came fast. Prices were very reasonable

I've had Ramen bowls around the town where I live and none of them can touch Hokkaido's. Rich hearty broth with ramen done to perfection. I had the Spicy Beef ramen, and it was so warming and satisfying. Great beefy flavor with just the right amount of heat. Rafi was our server, and he was excellent. Very polite and accommodating and served us quickly. I ordered a Mojito from the bar and it had to be about the best I've ever had. Easy to find, great location and atmosphere. The next time I go, I'll try their sushi or tempura. Overall, it was a great dining experience. read more

Went here the 16th in the early afternoon by default since it was nearby and nobody at the restaurant we had originally planned. The only reason not five stars on this place is because it was not busy and service was friendly but pretty slow. Otherwise, the food was great. I had the blue crab spider roll, sooooo good! It was all freshly made and delicious. I also had kumquat tea for the first time, I have never seen it on a menu, it was really good as well. I would definitely be going back if we lived in Colombia, but maybe next time we pass through.f read more

I bought a Tonkatsu ramen and gyoza for myself & teriyaki chicken for my husband. The meat quality was unfortunately very poor. The gyoza had cartilage chunks in it that I bit down on while eating, the ramen pork tasted old and weird and the chicken for the teriyaki were flavorless, over cooked tiny chunks of meat. read more

Sushi is really good. One of my favorite sushi spots in town. Fresh seafood. The tuna in the spicy tuna roll melts in your mouth.
