Some of the items at Hokkaido were decent, but I wasn't satisfied with most of the food. I don't know about Pittsburgh, but there are better Chinese buffets elsewhere.\n\nFirst of all, the designation of \"Seafood Buffet\" is a bit misleading. Sure, they have an extensive sushi/sashimi section, but other than that everything else is the same as other buffets. Also, while acceptable, the quality of the sushi isn't good. Everything has that watery, pre-frozen taste. The sushi's texture and smell is fine though, and everything gets replaced pretty frequently.\n\nThe hot section of the buffet is a mixed bag. The highlights of the meal were the crab legs, baby clams, and salt and peppper crab. The crab legs were meaty, and buttery sweet. The baby clams were tender and served in a savory black bean sauce. The salt and pepper crab was salty, crispy, and sweet. The hibachi station and some of the fried appetizers are satisfying.\n\nHowever, every other dish at Hokkaido is below average or average. Nothing is offensive (besides the large clams, I ate one and spit it out), but nothing else is of a decent quality. Yes, this is a buffet, but having 5 dishes worth eating out of the 50+ available isn't what I consider buffet success. I ate my weight in crab and clams, but I go to buffets for variety. I probably won't be returning for a while with that in mind.
