Now Closed

So glad I found a total gem in Damansara Being a Japanese food freak with perennial love for all things sushi, yakimono, soba, maki, teppanyaki, unagi and the like, I was overjoyed when all I wanted and loved could be found in Hokano. Menu placed outside so you can ogle over their epicurean Japanese dishes even before you enterTucked along the row of shophouses, this cosy restaurant might be small in size but packed with people.It's time to put these Japanese bites to test Although it was alm

点了这个chicken katsu don。鸡肉的质感非常的嫩滑，里面的鸡蛋更是滑嫩。经过油炸的鸡肉外皮因为有鸡蛋的关系所以变得一点都不酥脆。外面淋上了酱油味道很好吃，米饭也很香而且粒粒分明。

这个天妇罗配乌东面我觉得味道不错。天妇罗炸到很好吃。外面的粉浆并不会厚，但是我觉得天妇罗里面的虾子炸到有点太熟了。所以吃起来的口感并不是很好。但是味道还蛮新鲜的。

Chawanmushi. We were standing in front of two Japanese shops (located next to each other) and deciding which one to go in. Ended up, we pushed the door of Hokano. The service was good and attentive. The chawanmushi consisted of chicken piece, crab stick. The steamed egg was smooth and very soft. It has some slightly saltiness. The texture was good until we just slurped all of it.

Alaska Roll. The alaska roll was topped with fresh salmon, avocado and ebiko. The inner parts were filled with egg, seaweed and cucumber too. Although this Alaska roll was not cheap, the ingredients were good. I like the sweetness of the avocado and the juiciness of the salmon. The whole roll was nicely wrapped and does not fall out easily. I enjoyed it very much.

在日本餐厅里，还是第一次吃日本的炖蛋，比起华人的蒸水蛋，日本的炖蛋味道更加浓郁因为里面放了不少的配料，所以蛋的味道更加浓郁和厨师的功夫也非常到家，炖蛋口感非常幼滑，味道不错。

这里这碟寿司，醋饭包裹着内陷是新鲜的吞拿鱼，新鲜的吞拿鱼鲜甜可口还有夹着一块爽脆的黄瓜条。醋饭上还撒了一些飞鱼子，吃起来脆脆的口感，而且整体吃起来也不会觉得太腻因为醋饭不会很多。

这里的三文鱼寿司，这里的厨师选用了新鲜的三文鱼所以三文鱼肉呈鲜橙色，而且鱼肉的油脂分布均匀，每一片生鱼片都鲜甜可口和入口即化，配合稍微淡的醋饭，整体吃起来也味道刚刚好。

这里这道酱烧鳗鱼寿司，这里的厨师都是选用了最上等的鳗鱼，然后慢火丝丝烤熟，皮脆肉嫩，鲜甜的鳗鱼涂上了味道浓郁的酱汁却没有被抢去鲜味，鳗鱼的味道更加浓烈无穷，简直是味蕾上的享受。

这里这碗海鲜刺身里装着的海鲜，令人看了叹为观止，而且还有三文鱼，鲔鱼和贝类，这里厨师选用的食材都是很新鲜，所以每一片生鱼片都鲜甜可口，而且鱼的油脂放进嘴里做到了所谓的入口即化。

Miso soup. The miso soup consisted seaweed, spring onions and some beancurd cubes. I took the first sip of the soup, and it was extremely salty. I know that miso soup is supposed to be salty but I did not expect this to be on the extreme side of it. Saltiness aside, the texture of miso soup was fine, "cloudy" and clear at the same time. The ingredients used were fine too.

Chuka lidako. I ordered to chuka lidako as the appetizer. When it was served, the "coating" of the baby octopus was a lot. When I took the first piece of baby octopus, the coating was powdery. It somehow tasted different from what I usually had. My dining partner thought otherwise though, he felt it was good. The baby octopus was big and springy. The coating was sweet.

Salmon and avocado maki. This maki was made off salmon and avocado. The outer rice part has a few different types of sesame seeds to further aroma to the maki. The salmon and avocado was wrapped in the inner part with seaweed. The size of the salmon was slightly small though due to the cheap pricing. The avocado added some sweetness to the maki. Nevertheless, it was value for money.

Plain udon soup. Since I ordered maki for myself, I added on a plain udon soup to fill up my stomach. The plain udon was simple - udon, spring onions and seaweed. The udon was cooked till extremely soft that it kept on breaking whenever I use chopstick to take it up. I prefer it to be harder. The broth was clear but with the saltiness of the seaweed. A hot bowl of udon during rainy days.

Kanozen. This bento set consisted of saba shioyaki, sashimi, and tori kaarage. At the price of RM26.80, I would say this is a very value-for-money set as it has many meat varieties in it. The saba shioyaki has some bones and not too salty. The chicken kaarage was deep fried and quite meaty, but the coating was less seasoned. The sashimi was good though, 3 types of sashimi and they were fresh.
