Hokkaido Seafood Buffet and Grill, Asian buffet restaurant in Sappington, United States
Hokkaido Seafood Buffet and Grill is a buffet restaurant in Sappington, St. Louis, offering Chinese and Japanese dishes that include fresh seafood, sushi, and grilled items. Several cooking stations are set up around the dining area, where staff prepare food in front of guests during the meal.
The restaurant was opened to bring Asian dining with live cooking to the southwest side of St. Louis. Over time it became a regular spot for families and groups in the Sappington area.
The name refers to Hokkaido, the northernmost main island of Japan, long associated with fresh seafood. Inside, Chinese and Japanese cooking methods sit side by side, which gives the place a cross-cultural feel that is easy to notice as you move between stations.
The restaurant sits inside Concord Plaza Shopping Center, which makes it easy to reach by car with parking right outside. Weekends and peak lunch hours tend to fill up fast, so going early or calling ahead helps secure a seat.
Alongside the buffet, the restaurant has teppanyaki stations where chefs cook on flat iron griddles right at the table, turning the meal into something closer to a show. Sitting near one of these stations gives a very different experience from the standard buffet run.
