Hokkaido

It’s tucked away down a narrow side street. Understated decor, small and intimate. Avoid wearing big coats and keep your voice down. There’s an outdoor patio as well (weather permitting), if you don’t mind the busier outdoor environment. I’ve been eating here for over 20 years, and 3 girlfriends. When we say we want Sushi, we mean Hokkaido. My child’s first Sushi meal was here. It can be very busy on weekends, especially during pleasant weather. I recommend you call ahead. A very large menu too, so, I recommend you study the menu online and have your ideas ready. They’ll help you with suggestions, but that means you’re slowing us all down. Eating alone, then maybe eat at the bar and enjoy watching the sushi get maid. I recommend the pan fried gyoza, edamame and string beans. I love the

Hokkaido combines the best of both worlds — delicious sushi rolls and authentic Chinese dishes. Highly recommend.

I had mixed feelings about my recent visit to Hokkaido in New Paltz. On the positive side, the food was genuinely very good — fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. Definitely worth trying if you’re in the mood for sushi or Japanese fare. However, the experience getting seated was frustrating. When I arrived, there was a clearly open table that would’ve worked perfectly for my party of two. Despite that, two separate staff members told me I couldn’t be seated there, without much explanation. I ended up waiting around 15 minutes — only to watch another couple get seated at that same table shortly after. It left a bad taste in an otherwise enjoyable meal. Good food, but the customer service and seating policy could use improvement.

Hokkaido is in a quiet side street off the main drag and very pretty in a natural setting. Not a big space so it feels intimate. Food is fresh and tasty. Staff is friendly even when we sat pass the closing time. The court yard is great, weather permitting. Special mention is the Hamachi Kama, Salt and pepper broiled yellowtail collar part (Limited Availability) which is excellent with so much meat. Will go back.

It located very close by o 1-87 exit. The service is good and the waiters are very polite and friendly. There are so many rolls to choose from. Also, there are cooked dishes too. I can always ask for no spicy mayo on the sushi roll.
