Hokkaido Sushi is a solid little sushi spot in central Vancouver. Cold February night, we decided we needed some sushi. The downtown places can be hit-or-miss so we thought we'd try something new. We stumbled upon Hokkaido on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Greeted immediately, friendly staff, nice ambiance, no complaints there. 4-stars simply comes from the lack of a bar. Good sushi deserves a good martini. That part was super disappointing for me. The Tempura Veggies, Tempura Shrimp, and Sushi was all lovely. Freshly cooked / prepared and served promptly. Price was on-point and the overall experience was great. We'd be regulars if they had a full bar. If you live nearby and can tolerate dinner without a martini, give Hokkaido a try - it's worth it! read more

I was so excited to find udon nearby! They have some great options other than sushi. The sushi was okay but not our favorite spot. The ambiance felt a little lackluster. Service was on par! read more

Hokkaido Sushi is decent sushi with generous portions. The menu has plenty of options, especially if you enjoy specialty rolls that lean bold. The Godzilla roll definitely lives up to its name, it's huge. I'm not usually someone who prefers fried sushi, but this one was actually pretty good: crispy on the outside, flavorful, and filling enough to share. I was also pleasantly surprised by the mango roll. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did, but the sweetness worked really well and made it feel lighter and more refreshing than I anticipated. The White Tiger roll was another favorite! yummy, well-balanced, and easy to enjoy. One small thing I wish they did differently is I would love to see separate servings of ginger for each roll. Sometimes when you order multiple rolls, the ginger gets squished into one tiny container and split between three rolls, which isn't ideal if you like to cleanse your palate between bites. Also wish they had more raw options than just crab options. Overall, the sushi is good, portions are generous, and it's a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy a meal. A solid option if you're in Vancouver and in the mood for a quick bite of sushi. read more

I'm back again for another amazing experience! This was yet another high-quality visit, and I continue to be impressed by their promptness and delicious food. The service is consistently excellent as well as the great atmosphere. Where else can I watch cool cartoons while I wait for my food? During this visit, I suggested adding a comment box to the ordering system for special requests (like extra wasabi), and the staff was incredibly receptive to the feedback. This remains my go-to sushi spot. If you haven't checked them out yet, you're missing out! read more

The food is good. I love coming here. But they are very slow. I made a take out order. Showed up 30 mins later, expecting the food to be ready. Waited another 30 mins in the restaurant. Just know you might wait for your food for an hour. And I only ordered 3 rolls. The place was not even packed. Left extremely hungry and angry. read more

We ordered for delivery. Which we do quite often! I don't know what was going on tonight in their restaurant! But everything was not edible! The tampura vegetables were so smashed you couldn't tell what they were. They used different packaging tonight, the white boxes were falling apart & our food was soaking wet! The katsu chicken wasn't cooked all the way through! Hokkaido get your ACT TOGETHER!!! It'll be a long while before we order from them again!!!! read more

Our go to neighborhood Sushi restaurant. Wife and I visit weekly, the service is always exceptional and the Sushi rolls and entrees are quite tasty. My favorite is the Black Dragon Roll. Very artistically put together and is savory. If you visit on the weekends, it is best to arrive before 5:00PM. This place fills fast due to popularity. Highly recommend it%! read more

So glad I finally tried this place! Convenient local spot, I went twice in 1 week. Good service and great quality sushi. The decor and music matches the Japanese vibes. Will keep coming back for sure. read more

I totally forgot to write a review. I feel fortunate to have two really nice sushi restaurants open on Vancouver's east side. This one is near Fourth Plain. I'm told that a mattress retailer used to be in the space that Hokkaido is now. The raw fish I ate in this meal was a tuna poke bowl (maybe too much rice), and a rainbow roll. Prices are slightly higher than average for Vancouver sushi. Decent food. Location is not great if they want to do a lot of business. There are no office buildings nearby and the stuff being built near 4th Plain and 162nd are warehouses. read more

Ive been on the hunt for a good Vancouver sushi joint for a long time and finally found the spot. Excellent sushi, very fresh and great presentation.. On top of that, they offer real wasabi (I wish I could give them a 6th star just for that)!! Great service, very personable and professional staff. Looking forward to my next meal here. read more

Found this sushi restaurant by chance. Glad we did! Anyway, plenty of available table when we came in around 7:30pm. We ordered: Sapporo, Hot Sake Baked Mussels House Salad Fried Salmon Kama (I ended up ordering a 2nd one since I love the sauce and the way the Salmon was cooked) Hamachi and Salmon Sashimi Coda Roll We were happy with everything we ordered. Service was excellent and food came out fast. Atmosphere was comfortable. Price was reasonable. If we will be around the area again, we would come back and eat here read more

Wonderful, the only thing I would wake to change would be when a toll has seared I would like it with a little crisp to it, they only sear it till it starts to turn color. The ambiance is cute. I love the art work on the wall and the pink sparkling character when you come in. Service is friendly. read more

The food portions was bigger than I expected. The bento box was delicious and filling. Loved the artwork on the walls and the vibe of the restaurant since they were playing pokemon on TV which captivated my attention. Service was responsive and friendly. Highly recommend to new customers! read more

Hokkaido Sushi is absolutely fantastic! It is brand-new as of this writing, is modern, open, bright, and clean. The menu is wide and has lots of items I've not seen anywhere else, prices are very low, service is FANTASTIC, and the quality of the food is superb. Examples of "Things I've not seen elsewhere" are surf clam nigiri, honey wasabi sauce, and sesame balls. The surf clam nigiri was fresh, texturally lovely, and very enjoyable. Fried items were all perfectly cooked, crispy, and not at all greasy (calamari was outstanding). I also appreciated the round, high-quality chopsticks. I highly recommend the Hokkaido roll. It is one of the most unique rolls I've ever had, and also one of the tastiest. My dining companion was also very impressed, and we're really looking forward to our next visit! read more

Food was okay. I had the lunch special, which allowed me to pick two simple rolls, accompanied by either miso soup or salad. The miso soup didn't have any tofu, but the seaweed was good. I chose the tuna and salmon rolls for my entree selections. They were simple and underwhelming, but still not too bad. Service was good and the establishment is clean. Would only come again if in the area. read more

Very very good and fresh! Nice ambiance and nice sushi bar and close to home. I have a few more dishes to try. My favorites are spicy tuna and unagi. Both melted in my mouth. Great flavor and nice staff read more

Fresh, delicious dishes, large variety, friendly service, great quality, reasonable priced. A place to enjoy.

Great Sushi! I had the Black Dragon Roll and Coda Roll. Both were very tasty. Service was good too.

It's been a while since I've felt compelled to leave a review but this restaurant woke my Yelp slumber. I'm leaving them 5 stars based on the following considerations: Sushi, Price, and Customer Service. First off, look at this menu. These prices are from like 15 years ago and the appetizer menu pricing is more like from 20 years ago. I was in disbelief at first when I was reading the menu. The sushi was great. I ordered the Rainbow Roll and a Salmon Hand Roll. Best Sushi in Vancouver so far that I've tried. Fresh fish and the rice was perfect. The calamari appetizer was delicious too and it was less than $5.00. Not everything on the menu is a winner. My son didn't seem to enjoy the bento box with teriyaki chicken. I tried the chicken and it wasn't my favorite. The other thing we tried that I didn't enjoy was the cucumber salad. It unnecessarily had imitation crab in it. Never had that addition before and it would have been perfect without the imitation crab. When our server asked us if we needed a box for our bento, I told him that we won't need a box for it. I saw him do the mental math and make the presumption that our kid didn't enjoy it. He immediately told me he was taking 50% off of the price. I told him he didn't have to do that and we were happy to pay for it, but he insisted. They clearly care about their customer's experience which is nice to see. Cute little place to check out. I think their sushi game is on point and I could live off their appetizers menu and probably save money at the same time. If you are in Vancouver and enjoy sushi but also enjoy 1998 pricing, you should go check them out. read more

The place is clean, service is quick and the food is good. The serve staff was also very friendly. In todays rising prices of food, this place offers good Japanese food for the price. They are lower than most of its competitors in the area. Give them a try and guaranteed that you will be satisfied. I will say though that the only thing I am not a fan of so far is the Calamari as the coating doesn't adhere or stick to the octopus and could use a little more seasoning. read more

We were huge fans of Hokkaido when they first opened. Their proximity, price, and quality were all pluses that kept us returning on a weekly basis. However, as time went by everything, except maybe the prices, began to fall First let's talk about service. Most of the servers will stand around chitchatting with each other, visibly on their cellphones, and goofing around. This often results in inattentiveness and even missing items of an order. We have experienced appetizers coming out after sushi or not at all. We've also experienced a lack of care about direct feedback like when we let them know there were bones in the salmon hand roll. They never even let the chefs know. The quality is what went down hill the most. Inconsistency was the only constant after about six months in. I generally ordered the sushi week after week but it was a surprise what it looked or tasted like. Several times I felt ill shortly after my visit. After my last visit I looked up their recent health score (thank you Yelp) and understood why. Lastly, the cleanliness really went downhill. The floors, especially headed back towards the restrooms were always sticky and you could visibly see shoe prints. The bathrooms themselves were gross. I really liked and supported this place, but watching it go downhill the way it has I will not be back. read more

This place is delicious! Food is fresh, finely prepared and all at a reasonable price! We loved the chicken katsu, ninja roll and tuna hand rolls. read more

So the takeaway for me is this place is good for people that don't know real Japanese food. I will say the miso soup was decent and the seaweed salad was good. The California roll was way over mayo-d, and the nigiri.... dear god it was bad. The tobiko tasted like ammonia... or some sort of chemical, and the other two I got were just a disaster. Maybe come here for non-fish Japanese food? I don't know. To be fair, the price can't be beat, and some of the other patrons' hot food looked good. My search for good sushi in Vancouver continues. read more

extremely good, the chefs appear kind, the portions are large, i had a godzilla roll and the fried calamari. i cant tell if the godzilla roll was just imitation crab on the inside though. read more

I adore this place. The food here is amazing. The rolls are wonderful and inventive. The fish is fresh. It is always super clean and well decorated. They make the best pokebowls! Also the staff are what makes it, helpful people who put their customers first. read more

I have been here multiple times already. I really enjoyed a couple of their signature sushi rolls and can't wait to try more of their menu.

This is still my #1 favorite sushi place in all of Vancouver. Their fish is ALWAYS fresh, the rice is always perfect and everything always tastes amazing. They are very consistent with food and service. Everyone who works here is always extremely polite, professional and attentive. We have been coming here since they have opened, we take all our friends and family here and everyone loves it. It has become the family sushi spot and the perfect spot for my friends. We love it so much we take our co workers here too! This place is perfect. We love sushi and are extremely picky. But we love it here and highly recommend!! Some of our favorite rolls are the Hokkaido, New Orleans, phoenix roll, the Alaska, spicy tuna and ocean city roll. My husband loves their takoyaki and poke salad. I also love the miso. Truly you can't go wrong here everything is delicious! read more

Good fish quality, fair prices, friendly service, and quick to get food out. 5 stars, we'll be back! The only thing we didn't love was the Agedashi Tofu which didn't have broth like it typically does. read more

Ordered a sushi combo here via ubereats recently. Normally I dont have issues ordering sushi delivery from here, or other sushi places for that matter. However, something was off with my order this time. Ended up with a bad case of food poisoning. I dont think ill be eating sushi anymore for a long while now. I would suggest better quality control for your sushi. read more
