Hokano Japanese Restaurant @ Damansara Uptown, Petaling Jaya

Update: Hokano had since relocated. You can read my latest post here. 

I've been visiting this restaurant for years and this place is by far my most favourite place to visit when craving for Japanese meal. I'm a big fan of Japanese cuisine and after trying out several Japanese Chain, this is by far the best restaurant and service I've ever been. 

However, you've to be well prepared to wait since is mostly packed. The best time to visit? Come during lunch time (when there're lunch special) on Saturday or be there early for dinner when the shop opens. 

 For starter, you can order edamame, which is served hot to munch while waiting for your main course. 

If you prefer salad, try their seaweed/salmon salad, it's the best.

The picture below are a combination of both seaweed and salmon salads put together in one plate. 

*Note: it's a big plate so it's advisable to share* 

Or you can order a small bowl of potato salad. 

Crispy Salmon roll. Just like the name, the salmon skin is crispy and crunchy. 
This is one dish I highly recommend.  

For all sushi and sashimi fan, try their 'Sashimi Oriawase (assorted raw fish)'. 

Their Sushi and Sashimi to be of decent quality and freshness.

Ordered Kunazon Bento & Unagi Bento Set. Their bento set is value for money. All bento set comes with a side dish, miso soup and chawanmushi. 

Highly recommended to try  'Hokana Roll'. It's absolutely satisfying. 

(Do note it may take a while but it's worth it). 

The roll had unagi, prawn tempura, avocado, crab sticks, cucumber all rolled tightly together...topped with shrimp roe and a sprinkling of sesame. 

At night, they have Salmon Teriyaki Special Set. 

This set comes with appertizer, rice and soup. 

Simple yet hearty meals and generous portions.

For desserts, try their home made green tea ice-cream. 

*It's not everyday they have this flavor*

This place is defiantly worth a visit. You can get cheaper and way better quality Japanese food here. Definitely value for money.
