I might be wrong but when at the menu the restaurant mention grilled chicken I mean a grilled chicken, not a chicken breast. But who knows, maybe it’s my fault.
What do I dislike it’s the fact that this idea to put everything together in a dish makes the dish good, which I think it’s a big mistake.
Salad at the button, noodles and chicken breast they fight a bit together. But well, maybe it’s just my taste that is weird.

Had a lunch here and was pleased with the friendly service and quality of the food. The tuna steak was beautifully prepared as well as the sides. Overall a nice and fairly priced experience with views over Helsinki.

Both the appetizer and the main course were fantastic. I ate salmon and it was really tasty and fresh. The portions were generous and definitely worth the money. The restaurant has a nice feeling. If you get a seat next to the window wall, you don't even remember that you are in a shopping center. Although Hoku is furthest away from the hustle and bustle of people.
