Hokkaido Sushi Grill - Wisconsin Rapids

We had greater expectations. It might have been an off night and our waitress told us “we have a new cook that’s training”, but it was not a good experience. The soup didn’t have much flavor. The Sushi was ok. The potstickers were the best part of the meal, although not pan fried enough for my husband’s liking.We each ordered Hibachi, me chicken, him shrimp. Both were over cooked. The chicken tasted old and was really dried out to the point we couldn’t eat it. His shrimp was also very over cooked.The waitress was pleasant. When she saw we didn’t eat the food, she asked if we wanted to go but we told her no and that it was so dried out. She apologized and said there was a new cook and she’d give us the employee discount. My meal was $13.99. The discount was $2.79. I don’t know that she even told anyone else about the mistake. My husband’s was $18.99. For overcooked shrimp. Our entire bill was over $50, plus the tip; and we ordered with the hope to take food to go for the next day. It was a great disappointment.The sushi was ok came out relatively fast. The salad that came with the meal was ok, my husband said the dressing was interesting almost a gel consistency.Not sure we’d ever give this place another try. It also was not “clean” feeling. So, our recommendation is try at your own risk. Maybe the “new cook” will be more experienced and do better.

Very good food. Little to no atmosphere. Ok service. Would go back for the food.

I have eaten at so many better Japanese restaurants elsewhere but taking into account its a small town, there's not many places to eat other than fast food. The gyosa was good but I wasn't impressed by the udon noodles.

Used to love this place. Went to dine in and there was only one other person in the restaurant. We waited for 15 minutes and not one person came to ask us what we wanted…not even a drink order! We walked out without ever seeing a waitress and on our way out, two servers were sitting in the bar area on their phones. It’s a shame because this place used to be great.

The food was great.I ordered the 8 piece Nigiri Sushi.All pieces were proper temperature and very filling.The miso soup was on point.Service was solid, some minor faults (server forgot to bring out the miso soup after we put in orders) but progress comes with time.
