HOKO Hong Kong Cafe - (Near Tower Hamlets, london)

Art Nice place to sit down and grab a bite and a coffee. No wifi here so plan to chill like old school. Nice ambiance inside (especially the booth) and plenty of seating outside. Fast service and delicious food. Great latte!

Terri Eynon Arrived on spec to find most of the restaurant taken up with a works do. Nevertheless the attentive staff found us a space and fed us well. No pics of the food – we ate it! Recommended.

Riveron Camille We only tried this place yesterday, even though we’ve lived in the area for a while, and we have to say the food is really good and great value for money. We ordered directly from the restaurant to eat at home. We probably wouldn’t eat in as the atmosphere isn’t very warm, but we ordered crispy duck pancakes, stuffed crab claws, spring rolls, and two main dishes with rice (including the special rice, which is delicious). Everything was clearly freshly cooked and not just reheated. Definitely a place worth trying.

ziang Guo The food really delivers. The crispy pork belly on rice was excellent: perfectly crackly skin, juicy layers of meat, and generous portions. The shrimp rice noodle rolls were silky smooth with fresh prawns inside and a well-balanced soy sauce. Everything tasted freshly made, portions were satisfying, and service was efficient. A solid spot for authentic Cantonese dim sum and comfort food, especially if you’re craving proper Hong Kong–style dishes. Would definitely come back.

Paul Boakes Visited as a family of four, and opted for the £58 ROKA han setto brunch menu. The starters were fantastic, with an endless supply - until your mains are served - of salad, chicken, dumplings, sushi, kim chi, endamame and sashimi. My advice would be to fill up on the starters because... ...the mains werent quite as good. We had the sirloin, which was good, but the ribs (pictured) and the salmon (pictured) were lacking on the flavour. Nothing particularly wrong, they just didnt have the wow factor of the starters. I was also surprised by one portion of steamed rice being delivered: unexpected, un-asked for and fortunately, un-charged for as well. It wasnt mentioned on the menu...?!?! Dessert (pictured), however, recovered the game, and was a selection of chilled, frozen and fresh items: banana ice cream, sorbet, cheesecake, fruits, and so on. Service was inpeccable - spot on, attentive, polite, efficient, friendly. Absolutely flawless. Total bill came to £350 including service for 4 x adults at £58/each plus 7 x beers, and 3 x diet coke. We were in and out within 90 minutes on a lively Sunday lunchtime. Top tip: book for the lounge, which is much quieter and airier than the more enclosed area at the back of the restuarant. And it can be a little tricky to find, as its on the first floor of a building - took us a few minutes, and this was a second visit!

Lucie Dean Just had lunch here. Was lovely! The dish was prepared with real care and attention, not just slopped on a plate like some places. Taste was amazing, very filling. Staff were friendly. Atmosphere and decor was lovely. Couldn’t have wanted more.
