The first experience I had at Hokkaido was fabulous. The amazing food with large portions kept us coming back. We loved it so much our wedding rehearsal dinner was held there. Here is where my compliments stop. 4 guests of our party of 40 got FOOD POISONING. They were all seated at the same table, which made me believe a portion of the food was spoiled. One of my bridesmaids was so weak and sick she barely made it to the wedding. When telling Hokkaido about this they made the situation right (as much as they could) by reimbursing the portion of food at one table. My last experience, that pushed me to write this review was tonights dinner. We ordered a variety of teppanyaki of chicken, steak, shrimp and scallops. The steak well past a medium and as tough as leather, scallops as thin as a pancakes ( I believe they cut them in half), and portions half the size as what they used to be. When I finally complained about the quality of food the manager told me they were cutting costs and scallops are very expensive. WHAT?!? We just paid $50 for this! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND EATING HERE TO ANYONE unless you want to risk food poisoning and get well below average food.
