Live, from Peoria, Illinois, it’s Saturday Night with this week’s host, Hokkaido and special guest star appearances by Amber, Joe and Jon and featuring Bedy.
Now please welcome this week’s host, Hokkaido!
Here we are at Hokkaido Restaurant. I love the outside of this restaurant, it’s very majestic!
Okay, let’s go inside and you can meet this week’s special guest stars!
There’s plenty of places to sit in here and I’ll show you them soon, but for now, here’s the booth we chose to sit at.
That’s Bedy, our waiter welcoming us and he served us up drinks including this giant bottle of Kirin Beer. Cheers!
Bedy then took the MBIP Camera and took a shot of all of us at the booth.
Clockwise from left: Yours Fooly, Jon, Amber and Joe.
We checked out the menu and placed our dinner order with Bedy.
Here’s Jon telling us what he’s been up to and Amber and Joe listening from their side of the booth.
Before you know it the appetizers have been delivered by Bedy.
We got an order of the Crab Rangoon and the Beef Shortribs. Both were delicious pre-dinner treats!
After the appetizers, I took some time to take some photos around the restaurant.
Here’s the Japanese Hibachi Grill area where your dinner party can watch a chef prepare your dinner in front of you. Talk about your dinner theater!
The bar is closed for now due to the pandemic, but hopefully it’ll open soon now that the numbers are going down.
Here’s two other places in the restaurant to dine at.

And now…Drama Queen Alert!
As I was taking pictures in this dining area, a woman seated about 15 feet from where I took this photo hollered out, “Hey, why are you taking photos in here?”
I walked over to her table and explained I was taking them for my blog and that they couldn’t be seen in the photo. I have blurred them out, but it was just the back of the guy she was with and you couldn’t even see her.
She said it was bothering them to have me taking photos even though my flash was off and no one else seemed to mind that I was taking photos off in the distance.
Some people are just hungry for attention I guess and she was quite the Drama Queen. i quickly fled this experience under “shit happens” and moved the fuck along and hope our paths never cross again.
Meanwhile, back at our booth…
Our delicious dinners were served.
Amber got a sushis dinner with a side order of Chicken Satay. Joe got a chicken dish and Jon got a noodle entree. Everything looks absolutely delicious and everyone raved about their dinners.
I got the Hong Kong styled steak which is a New York strip steak broiled and served up sizzling hot in a special sauce topped with grilled vegetables.
It was tender, savory and so tasty and delicious!
What a wonderful dinner and it was great to share it with Amber, Joe and Jon! Thanks to them for joining me and thanks to Bedy and everyone at Hokkaido for the wonderful meal and service!
