Hoka Hoka Express: Reviews & Ratings
Stopped to give it a try , and they have gained a new customer ! Very delicious, fresh , and affordable! I tried the spicy tuna and it did not disappoint but I was pleasantly impressed! The location is kept nice and tidy with many cute Japanese items for sale .
After eating here I feel satisfied and healthier. Just fresh ingredients brought together with talented cooks. The hard working lady at the counter is patient to answer questions and get your order right. The restaurant is clean throughout and seating allows for one or more options. I only wish the cups for beer were larger, pint size because that's what I'm used to.
Just stumbled upon this place via Yelp & so glad we did! The fish is super fresh & the tempura was light and not greasy. The quality was excellent & though it is an express restaurant, the clean minimalist vibe and dining area was really nice. We were thoroughly pleased with our choices & will definitely be back again!
The environment is pleasant. The restaurant is nice. Calm. The food comes very fast. They serve you fast. The service is good too. I have only eaten the bowls.
The place is so cute. The food was amazing. The bathrooms were super clean. I ate the $10 combo - two onigiri of your choice with a side of a fried item. A gem!
Amazing and beautiful place!! Food is fast and incredibly! You really feel like you are in Japan.
The food was freshly prepared and carefully packaged for a to go order. The rice in the onigiri was soft and fluffy and seasoned well. The staff was friendly, and the entire place was so clean and had so many snacks and bottled drinks for sale as well cutesy bags and arts & craft items. I'll definitely go back to try other food items.
This place is always a hit when I come. Fairly price for the portion you get. The customer service is always kind and welcoming. This place doesn't get enough love. You can never go wrong with their hot bowl, I've been back several times and haven't had one bad experience. *Bonus: If you love trinkets (Sonny Angels, Smikis, stickers, keychains, and more), they have a cute selection by the counter/register.
The food was really tasty here. The sauces were amazing in my dynamite bowl. It was my first time having onigiri too and I really enjoyed it. The lychee green tea tasted like a handcrafted drink. The atmosphere was really cute. There are items and snacks available for purchase. The service was great also great. I look forward to eating here again.
This is def one of our go to place when my wife is craving for eel. There's plenty of parking in this plaza. The restaurant is cute with a little shop inside that's sells merch and snacks. I'm not a big fan of their seatings as it's hard wood and I prefer cushions so we usually take it to go and eat it at home. Our usual order: dynamite bow with 1/2 rice and 1/2 salad and eel and avocado bowl with 1/2 rice and 1/2 salad and their buns: pizza and chicken curry. I recently discovered for a dollar more you can add a side like shrimp tempura or takoyaki and other choices. You'd be a fool not to! Their sides are delicious!
