We sat by the kitchen which was smoky. There was a huge TV screen playing on one wall and the place was noisy. Chairs uncomfortable. Our server seemed sweet but not super attentive. Chicken ramen was good but fried fish not great.

Hojoko: A Thrill-Seeker’s Paradise for Food Lovers Prepare to have your mind blown and your taste buds taken on a wild ride at Hojoko, where creativity meets bold flavors in every bite. This isn’t just dinner—it’s an unforgettable adventure, especially when you dive into the Wasabi Roulette. The Wasabi Roulette is a culinary daredevil’s dream: six impeccably crafted hamachi + scallion rolls, each one delicate and bursting with freshness. But there’s a twist—hidden among the six is one piece with an explosive dose of wasabi that will light up your senses. It’s a game of chance that adds an electrifying layer of fun to your meal. Pair that thrill with the playful baby bottle horchata, a drink that’s as nostalgic as it is delicious, and you’re in for a dining experience like no other. Then there’s the kimchi fried rice—a dish that deserves a standing ovation. Perfectly balanced with the right amount of spice, tang, and umami, it’s comfort food elevated to an art form. A shoutout to the amazing General Manager, Joe, who runs the show with effortless charm and precision. His passion for creating a memorable guest experience is evident in every detail, from the vibrant atmosphere to the top-notch service. Joe and his team have cultivated a space that feels alive, welcoming, and just a little mischievous—in the best way possible. Hojoko is more than a restaurant; it’s a vibe, a thrill, and a feast for all the senses. Whether you’re a foodie, a thrill-seeker, or just someone looking for a great night out, this spot is pure magic.

The place was pretty empty on a Saturday afternoon. Overall, the suhsi & sashimi portions are rather small (6 pieces) for the price (16-18$). My daughter did like the ramen a lot, but otherwise, I would not say that the value was there.
