I decided to try Hoku at the recommendation of our AirBnB host and Yelp. 40 reviews on…read moreYelp...that's impressive for Finland! This place lives up to the hype. 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.

Hoku is really small place, but their portion are really H-u-g-e and lunch-time the place is always…read morefull. Salmon Teriyaki with potato-salad as japanese-style.. yes please! On dinner-time you have to make a reservation if you are coming with big groupie or 2 people. For 1 person... Sometimes there is window-place for walk-in people, so just try your luck if there is the place for you. Their Dinner-menu is sort and not so long. The price are ok. Must try Hoku's Chicken Katsu!

Delicious and fresh food! I've eaten here twice now and it hasn't disappointed. The only thing is…read morethe location is so hard to find. There is no signs with the logo, but if you go upstairs and past the tables that's where you can find the place to order! Hidden gem for sure!

I had a very fresh and tasty salmon bowl, with rice, kale, edamame and other healthy goodies. Very limited counter seating, and very limited menu, but don't let that deter you. They offered only 3 different choices of bowl (each comes in large or small) and 3 sauces. Everything was prepared expertly and quickly, and with a smile. I hope this hidden gem doesn't stay hidden; it's too good to pass up!

It also has a nice local feel since it's a bit out of the way. Unexpectedly cool interior compared to the way the neighborhood and the building looks.

Usually very good but yesterday it took about 25 minutes for them to deliver a veggie burger, even…read morethough they were not at all crowed. And it was not hot. I would have sent it back to heat it up but it took so long to begin with, I did not have time to wait longer. And the burger was barely cooked--not nearly enough. Like the cook wanted it to be rare. Not good! Very disappointed in the service and quality of the food. All for 30 plus Euros (one small beer), about $39 USD.
