It was a really long day of choosing where to go, but in the end, hokkaido was my choice. And im happy to say that it was indeed a good choice. But of course there are always some things to consider.
First the positive: -the variety of food in the all-you-can-eat is so far the best I've seen when it comes to running sushi. I've even found foods I've never tasted there, even though my experience with asiatic foods is fairly broad. -3 drinks are included in all you can eat already which makes the 30€ deal (evening time) fairly cheap given that normally you'd pay about 5€ extra for every drink. Typical range of soft drinks are available -the food itself is fairly well made. In my case it was freshly made and some of the hot dishes were even steaming :D Obviously don't expect elite quality food there, after all, the staff often needs to make a ton of food for us hungry clients very quickly. But as of my taste, it was really enjoyable aesthetically and tastefully. (Apart from steam baked shrimp dumplings or how they're called, they were very weird) -the restaurant isn't the biggest, but also I didn't feel like it's any cramped, at least for an average sized person like me. And the inside of the restaurant looks and smells quite pleasing, nothing out of ordinary -I had a group of 6 people and there was a table for 6 people which i thought could be a problem. For people who order a-la-carte there are plenty of other bigger tables. Here im speaking only about the running sushi places
Now the negative: -the biggest of them is that there is, after all, a time limit. Despite what they're saying on the website. At least that's true for weekends (my case was Saturday). I reserved a place for 17:30 on Saturday and we were told that we could only stay until 19:00. Which is about 1,5 hours if you're not late to your reservation. In my case i was asked to leave after about 2 hours, so if you're not late, you could get a bit more time. BUT! It isn't as sad as it sounds, me and my whole group were basically full after one hour of eating, so the rest of the time we were just sitting there waiting to be able to move after too much food xD. So generally 1,5 hours is enough to have a good meal without feeling like u gotta be quick.
-to get drinks you need to catch the attention of always busy staff. In my case they were coming by our table quite often so It wasn't a problem to get my three drinks.
Things to consider: -if you want the best running sushi experience, you could ask for a place on the right of the running sushi belt, because that way you'll be one of the first tables which will get the newer, fresher dishes.
-if you plan on going there on weekends, MAKE A RESERVATION! It's virtually impossible to find a place for running sushi otherwise. -be nice to the staff and the staff will be nice to you! -there are little buckets with wasabi and marinated ginger running around on the running sushi belt. If you need some of that, take the for example wasabi bucket, put some wasabi on ur plate and put the wasabi bucket back onto the belt so others can use it too. -obviously the best time to come is the opening time, cuz more fresh meals and the staff aren't as stressed as they would be closer to the closing time.
In general, i would recommend this place if you are alright with everything I said above. Personally, i enjoyed my meal there and would definitely come for...
Read moreWe visited Hokkaido for the second time, and we’ll definitely visit again in the future. The place has a lovely atmosphere, and the conveyor belts consistently bring fresh and varied dishes. You can find everything from sashimi to fried uramaki and much more. Everything is fresh and delicious—truly a five-star experience.
Another highlight was that, even though we arrived without a reservation, the waitstaff was incredibly kind. They politely asked us to wait at a table and soon noticed that another table might become available. When they saw that some guests had finished dining and were just enjoying the atmosphere, one of the waiters kindly asked if they’d be willing to move to a simpler table so we and others waiting could be seated sooner. I really appreciated their attentive and...

Positiv: Wir hatten kein Problem damit einen Parkplatz für unser Auto zu finden und hatten auch mehrere andere Parkplätze gesehen. Das Restaurant befindet sich an einem ruhigen Platz mit mehreren anderen Läden. Der Platz ist soweit ganz gemütlich wenn auch nicht übermäßig hübsch
Zum Restaurant:
Das Restaurant ist groß und besitzt ein paar Tische für Running Sushi und auch einige Tische für andere Gerichte
-Die Tische haben eine gute Größe und man sitzt nicht beengt. Zudem kommt man gut an das Fließband sollte man sich für das Running Sushi entscheiden.
-Die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Der ich vermute mal Chef war auch bei den Gästen und war auch sehr nett und aufmerksam. Was ich sehr cool fand war, dass die Bedienung die Teller bei und zum Zwecke eines "Wer kann mehr essen?" Stehen ließ.
Das Running Sushi bietet eine sehr große Auswahl an warmen und kalten Speisen. Neben klassischem frittierten gab es auch gebratenes wie Ente und Huhn und auch gekochtes mit sehr leckeren Soßen. Zudem gibt es Nachspeisen und Sushi.
-Das Essen ist zumeist lecker und das Fleißband ist durchgehend gut gedeckt.
Was sehr positiv aufgefallen ist: Obwohl als wir da waren nur sehr wenige andere Leute mit uns da waren, war das Fließband durchgehend reichlich und mit verschiedensten Sachen belegt. Wir wurden trotz weniger anderer Gäste super nett behandelt und ausreichend versorgt. Dies ist mir im Gegensatz zu manch anderen Restaurants sehr positiv aufgefallen.
-Die Toiletten waren super und auch das restliche Restaurant wirkte gut gepflegt.
"Negativ":
Der Obstsalat war aus der Dose was man geschmacklich stark rausgeschmeckt hat
-Preislich inzwischen bei 30 Euro pro Person am Abend für das Running Sushi inklusive 3 Getränke. Man kann dann zwischen 1-2 Stunden vor Ort bleiben. Alles in allem preislich in Ordnung.
P.S. das "Wer kann mehr Essen?" Ging mit 32 zu 32 Tellern...
