I was checking the differences between the layout of the English Open Rice webpage and the Chinese Open Rice webpage and I noticed that this was, surprisingly, one of the most highly recommended Japanese restaurants around town. I thus decide to offer my two pennies worth of advice.
We went there a while ago. It was quite popular no doubt due to the reasonable price. They appear to have a number of secret "dens" where they would bring customers to if the main restaurant area was full. We were brought, somewhat clandestinely, to a grocery shop nearby where we were asked to sit at folding tables and folding chairs. Other customers were brought in as well. It was pretty crowded ,lacks ventilation and not comfortable. As the stew rice was apparently famous, we tried it.
Well, after having the Hokkaido "stew", I must say I cannot recommend it to anyone. As noted by another commentator, it really tasted very much like those instant stew packs. Either those instant packs tasted very authentic or that this restaurant did a very good job at emulating those taste from scratch. If you haven't tried it before and wish to try a Hokkaido stew, i.e. a creamy white sauce with chicken/pork, green peppers, onions...etc., you could make it at home by buying the instant Hokkaido Stew pack at Jusco or any supermarket that sells Japanese products for about HK$20.
Just add water, the veggies and meat and it would taste exactly the same - but at 1/3 the price, less the waiting time - preparation time is only about 10 minutes - and more comfortable than sitting inside a grocery store (unless you're having it at student accommodations or office pantries ).
Would you go all the way to a restaurant and order an instant microwaveable rice? Probably not.
Would you go to a restaurant and order an instant noodle? Probably ... well...... actually, we do - at Cha Chan Teng!
After having it, my wife told me that she could open a Japanese restaurant too.
