Hohi

A rush of mustard aroma gives way to a mild, savoury sauce in the mustard soba, a dish diners repeatedly mention after visiting Hohi. Some say the mustard is tucked beneath the noodles, and recommend mixing everything well before eating. The contrast between the lively heat and the gentle sauce makes this bowl distinctive, and easy to keep enjoying.

Shumai are another option: diners describe juicy meat wrapped in a thin skin, with crunchy water chestnut adding a different texture to the meal. Mustard chicken, listed as chicken tempura, has also left an impression on diners, who report that it is served with a tangy, spicy sauce. Add shumai, gyoza or spring rolls for a lighter meal centred on noodles, or share several dishes such as sweet-and-sour pork and fried rice. Other choices include Cantonese-style rice topped with sauce, tenshin rice topped with egg, gomoku ramen and yakisoba, offering alternatives to noodles and dim sum.

The restaurant serves lunch and dinner, and offers both dine-in and takeaway. Payment is cash only, so it is worth bringing cash when you visit.
