The drinks menu was extensive (I had their special cocktail, which was excellent; I'm sure the wine pairings were good as well.) The best fish was definitely salmon (to be expected) -- several kinds in nigiri, sashimi, maki, or temaki. Lightly grilled was particularly good. The tuna wasn't quite as fatty or excellent as I've had in Japan or the best places in the US, but there are plenty of other great fish options. Overall, this is a wonderful restaurant -- I'll be back whenever in Helsinki.

Nice sleek decor and art on the walls which is nice. The service is fine, but nothing special. As a bonus they serve very good wine. For the past few months they've served macarons for dessert and unless you absolutely must have dessert I'd advice you not to have those. Apparently they are from Patisserie Teemu & Markus, which is an excellent place, but I'm guessing there's not much demand for the macarons as they've been very dry every time I've tried them.

There is a delivery fee. This was unusual, since most places have free delivery. We stuck to the Chinese food menu because if we wanted Thai we would order from a Thai place. I don't like the concept of mixwd cuisines when it isn't fission. This time around, the food was very good. The Boss with pork was a pleasant surprise. It was lo mein with a nice flavour. The kung pao chicken was nice with cashews. I am not sure it had peppercorn or chili peppers. No prob, it wasn't spicey. The sauce was good. The chicken fried rice was ok. Not so much flavour, it was yellow, and it did not seem fried. The sweet and sour chicken was good, the sauce seemed a bit runny. The fried chicken and fried shrimp were good. The serving size if the individual containers was good and fair priced. The meal was s bit overpriced for the amount of food. Overall, it was above average for Helsinki. We would order from there again.

Three stars for our server and the view.

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.

I find it very casual and relaxed but more than that I particularly enjoy how fresh the food is as well as tasty and authentic, so far the closest to real-authentic Thai food I've had in Helsinki. Prices are about average, 14-16€ per main dish. Portions are good (for a person with big appetite, like me ).
