Hokkaido a Neighborhood Classic

No wonder Hokkaido is a Neighborhood Classic, with wonderful service, utmost quality food and presentation, this restaurant is a sure hit with the locals.

The quality of sushi and preparation in Hokkaido is Top Notch, the recommendations by our server was just right and on point.  Everything from the Appetizer, the Specialty Rolls all the way to the Dessert could not be better.  It was Sunday afternoon when we decided to grab something different for lunch and decided to go into Hokkaido.  The atmosphere is kind of small and tight but for some reason we felt perfectly fine and comfortable at our dining table. We were seated promptly and presented the Menu.  While placing the drink orders the waitress has suggested a few appetizers.  Since one of us likes Seafood and the other likes Vegetables, we both agreed on the Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura while still deciding on the main course.  The waitress asked us what type flavor we like and gave suggestions for the specialty rolls (Golden Dream and the Spicy Dancing Kani Roll).

At first we were very impressed by the Appetizers with the tempura giving off a melt in your mouth feeling.  Then, our Specialty Rolls came out and our jaws dropped from how good the presentation was. I had a bite of the Golden Dream:  Shrimp Tempura, Avocado topped with mango, served with pineapple sauce which I now consider a delicatessen.  (I am actually looking at the photos while writing this review and it’s reminding me even more of what I am missing right now).   Onto to the other specialty roll, wrapped in a pink (seaweed?)  (never seen one of these before), this roll comes with the spicy sauce in the middle and was definently another delicatessen which I can’t wait to have again.  The problem next time will be deciding to stick with the same rolls we already tried or hope the other rolls under the chef’s specialties will be as good.  Also when we were placing the order, I was a bit worried that one roll would not be enough, but the waitress insisted these specialty rolls are very filling and she was right.

The best finish in a Japanese Restaurant is the Fried Ice Cream,  as I could remember it is much better then many other places I have tried.

Let’s get to the Sum-Up

• Atmosphere:  On the Smaller side dining area makes a very cozy and comfortable dining feel.
• Service:  Top Notch service, excellent recommendations.
• Appetizer:  Delicious presentation and perfect portion size.  Just right to open your taste buds.
• Chef’s Special Rolls:  Wow Factor presentation and flavor.  A pure delicatessen for the Japanese Cuisine.
• Overall Sum-Up: Hokkaido surpasses regular quality standards and breaks the barrier in Japanese Cuisine.  Even the person who is not a big Sushi Fan has enjoyed the meal and complimented how everything tasted.
• Star Rating:  Five Quality WhereYouEat Stars.

Restaurant Photos, Menu and Detailed Information

Established in 2009 in the Tottenville section (South Shore) of Staten Island.  Cucina Di Napoli is a neighborhood fine Italian Restaurant and Bar with a Casual feel.  This restaurant offers a Dine at Bar Feature, Private Party Rooms are available.  Reservations are recommended for the weekends, especially on special occasions and for large parties.

Cucina Di Napoli Walk-Around

Grand Opening has occurred in October, Cucina Di Napoli is the new restaurant sitting on Rocky Toto’s previous location.  The Restaurant Design has remained similar but we still need to do a Walk-Around.

Beige and Green “Free Standing” building with a large private parking lot offers plenty of dining space, private party room can be made, casual dining experience in the front and also a large bar with plenty of seating.

Entering the Building we have the bar on one side and a dining area on the other.  One middle slide room which a few Large Round tables and regular squares.  This room has curtains surrounding it and is probably using for private parties.  On the outside of this room we have another dining area almost right next to the kitchen.

The best part is entering the last room which is actually horizontal to the first just seperated by a wall and a walk-way.  Very neat and unique design.  This room features large mirrors and very nice decor on the other side of the wall.  This room can also be closed off and offers mostly square tables.

Battle of the Sushi Bars: Half Price vs Regular

We have been noticing since about 1 year ago the major sales of “Half Price Sushi” all over the island.  It has began with Mitoushi Sushi opening and offering half price sushi followed by a few other Restaurant Retailers and finally Nakata Sushi and Fuji Sushi. 

I have personally tried Mitoushi Sushi about 1 year ago and have enjoyed it greatly, fresh sushi, great service and great recommendations.  Last week I have decided to give Nakata Sushi a try and compare it to Hokkadio sushi in Dolphin Shopping lot plaza with Burger King around the corner.

The reviews will be coming out sometime this week and on a glimpse, I can say that the quality in Nakata Sushi (Half-Price) has been greatly diminished, the service recommendations is deep up sales to try and raise the bill.  While the Hokkaido Sushi place impressed and gave great suggestions, each bite was deeply enjoyed and the quality has by far surpassed nakata taste. 

Although, we do understand the economy has not fully recovered and we are still looking to save some money everywhere and anywhere.  The reduced quality for a much lower check bill may be a fair compensation during these times.

You can decide for yourself, wait for the upcoming reviews coming in the next few days.
