HOKU is a casual restaurant located in the Helsinki Kamppi district started by Ryan Shibuya. Ryan was born and raised in Hawaii and wanted to share some of the great foods from back home. Nothing fancy, just good food in a casual environment.

We came across this restaurant by checking the Trip Advisor reviews on Japanese restaurants in Helsinki for our annual getaway to the capital. Expecting a traditional Japanese restaurant, we first didn't quite know what to think of this place, since "Asian fusion food with Hawaiian flavors" was something we hadn't heard of before. We couldn't quite believe how something as simple as e.g. "Chicken with rice and salad" could be turned into something so creative and extraordinary. The cook was a true artist and the staff was extremely friendly. Due to an allergy-related mix-up in the kitchen, the restaurant offered to give us the dish in question free of charge. If you are ready to try something completely different and you are looking for the highest quality of ingredients, then this is the place to be! Have an open mind and prepare yourself for a true adventure for the senses!

I went to Wagocoro based on the other reviews here, and boy, I wasn't disappointed. They really do serve the best sushi I have ever eaten in Finland, and honestly, they compare very, very well to all the places I have visited on my trips to Asia as well. Those bites just melt in your mouth, so wonderful and balanced. I couldn't bring myself to even use wasabi, just wanting to focus on the sushi itself.The service is very friendly and personable, and the selection contains all the standards as well as some surprising bonuses you don't get at every sushi place.The only obvious downside to Wagocoro is that there is seating for about six people at the restaurant. While it gives the place a really unique feel, it is a pity more people can not enjoy the food at once. You can always take the sushi to go, of course.So, when people tell you this is the best sushi, you best believe them. I can say it isn't cheap, but it is worth it.

Food is ok but prices are just ridiculous. Paying 8 Euros for one small dumpling is simply not ok.We had Peking duck for main course and paid 34 ⬠for two small duck legs, 4 small pancakes and some sallad leaves and sauce. I do not like wasting money and this is simply too much. Wonder how they attract all the young people to eat there when a dinner for two with cheapest bottle of wine easily surpasses â¬200.

We should have gone for the upstairs a la carte. The lunch sushi buffet was acceptable. But it nowhere near the standard quality of normal sushi. I've done some research and apparently one really has to go for the a la carte here. Oh well, maybe next time!
