Hokkaido Seafood Buffet

20110820:
The wait for a large party is longer than a wait for a small party. In particular, under four persons will be a short wait.

First plate. Spicy mussel (9 o'clock), coconut shrimp (11 o'clock), chicken (1 o'clock near center), salmon (1 o'clock near edge), clams sauteed with black beans (4 o'clock), chicken on a stick (5 o'clock), beef rib (2 o'clock), and oyster (6 to 8 o'clock). 

The spicy mussel was alright.

The coconut shrimp was good but soft.

Not (?) orange chicken. [20200118: perhaps I mean to say I thought it was orange chicken, but that it has some other sauce, e.g., General Tso's chicken; note, however, that the chicken in the picture doesn't look spicy so it's likely not General Tso's chicken]

Second plate. Crab legs, sausage, noodle, eggplant, tobiko, and steak.

I liked the salmon.

One of the two clams sauteed with black beans was sandy.

The chicken on a stick had a tasty sugary coating.

The scallop was good. It had celery.


The chicken on a stick wasn't good.

The beef rib was okay. I didn't like the sauce much.

The oyster was really sandy. 7:22 PM PT

[20200118: I only took a picture of two plates and the soft-serve ice cream. I also have a video of the chocolate fountain! It seems I didn't make a note for the second plate.]
