It's a small restaurant that is minimally decorated an slightly dated. The menu has tons of dishes and good choice of vegetarian food. I chose the chili paneer for main and a naan. The chili paneer was ok and it was tasty. It lacked the chili punch I was expecting for what is generally a spicy dish. The service was also quite ok and they were very kind to accommodate me a few mins before kitchen closing. I may come back here again. It's reasonable food for a reasonable price.

Food is overhyped and overpriced for the teeny portions…read more We ordered the large order of four seared scallops and requested them to be cooked more than seared. The scallops were the size of a US quarter and thin. The four skewers of prawns held two small shrimp apiece. Both items were tasty, but the portions were small for the prices. The tempeh was decent in portion, as was the rice. The chocolate dessert lacked substance and taste, and we left 95% of it. Most disappointing.

Got lucky with this place, we wanted something to top the other places we were eating at…read more On Yelp this place came up as an Asian Fusion with a Helsinki twist. Also is a Michelin rated restaurant which we didn't know until we arrived. After eating I would say this place was more Eurasian Fusion if that is such a word?!?! Service was on the slow side as people probably liked to sit for 3 hours and eat their food slowly. Doesn't work for me since I am the most impatient person you would ever meet! :-) On multiple occasions asked them to keep bringing out the food. Once they figured out the rhythm, plates started coming out in time and was just right. Every single item was full flavored and didn't lack in anything, lots of spices and flavors all seemed to work together in a unique way. For sure would come back and do the tasting menu again.

Since it is located on the 5th floor of Kamppi Square and has floor to ceiling windows, the views are reeeeal nice. The boyfriend and I came for lunch at 11:30am on a Friday and were seated without a reservation after we placed our order and paid at the counter. I tried the Kalua Pork & Tiger Prawns (14€) while the boyfriend went with the Salmon Teriyaki (15€) after reading the glowing reviews on here. The Kalua Pork dish was super tasty and had more broth than I was expecting; I was glad it came with a bowl of rice. The salmon was SO moist with a teriyaki sauce that wasn't too overbearing! Needless to say we finished both our dishes without a bite to spare. The portions are medium-sized. If you come starving, it may not be enough to make you feel 100% satiated. However, the sophisticated atmosphere and unique & flavorful dishes made Hoku a great experience.

We opted for a wonton noodle soup, hot and sour soup as well as some other items including spring rolls and Kung pao chicken. The spring rolls were just OK and actually kind of greasy.

Luckily, we got some from the hotel. The items arrived hot with the delivery service, which we appreciate appreciated. If we are ever in the neighborhood, we will definitely order again.

Apart from sushi you will also find other exciting dishes on the menu like their famous bentos. A bento is a box containing everything essential for a good Japanese meal. It usually comes with rice, spring rolls, small salad and - depending on your choice - meat, fish or vegetables. They have changing bentos on the lunch list every day and they are all amazing. Just pick one and you won't be disappointed. All lunch orders come with a tea and a miso soup. Lunchtime is from 11 to 14.00 but you can of course also order a la carte here at any time. Go ahead and try it!

I guess its a typical take away style restaurant that offers a small amount of seating. But you can grab a lunch from 9€ or get the 10% off it you take away your dinner. The service is friendly and they will take time to let you know what the dishes are all about if you are not too sure. When taking away its not the quickest but thats a good thing as you know what you are getting is fresh, and it tastes that way also. And they will offer you tea water and a place to sit while you are waiting anyhow! so no worries. Good to note that it is closed on Mondays.
