I had a mad craving for sushi last night. We thought we'd give a place close to home a try. Hokaido fit the bill. The parking lot was empty which made us a little concerned. We went inside and the dining room was empty, too. Uh-oh. What were we in for?
Variety of offerings is wide. It took us a bit to choose. Finally we settled on chicken udon noodle, and three rolls: Dark Horse, Japanese Lasagna and a classic spicy tuna. We were brought a tasty cucumber salad to get us started. Then, the noodles arrived and the rolls followed.
The noodles were really good, but near impossible to eat with chopsticks. We broke down and asked for a fork.... much easier to enjoy. The lasagna was our least favorite roll, it fell apart easily since it was baked. It was hard to get that perfect bite. Plus, I'm generally not a fan of cream cheese, but it sounded intriguing so I gave it a whirl. Lesson learned--I'm still not much of a fan. The classic spicy tuna was the favorite. Although, the Dark Horse was enjoyable. I especially liked the crunchy texture.
All in all, it was a shame the restaurant was so dead.
