Hoko is a variation on the all you can eat Chinese buffet restaurant. The difference is that here you order from the menu and the dishes are cooked individually and brought to you by the waiters, much better than having the food sitting on a hotplate. The menu is quite extensive, giving an adequate description of each dish together with a picture so you know exactly what you are getting. It is a fixed price, but drinks and dessert are extra. We went for dinner and were the first customers there. Four waiters were present and we were seated immediately, menus presented and drinks orders taken. Not wanting a huge amount on the table at once, we ordered a main and side each. The drinks arrived promptly and our food a little while later. After we had eaten this, we then ordered more drinks and another two dishes each, this is where it fell down. Two drinks arrived, but we had to ask twice more to get the other. Then one dish arrived, followed 5 minutes later by two more, we had to wait another 15 minutes for the rest of the order. No apology or explanation was given and to say that the staff were surly is not an understatement. The only time that one of them smiled was presenting the bill. The place was not busy with only four other tables occupied, a maximum of 19 customers including us. I had read reviews criticising the service but was prepared to give it a try, I won't be back. I could not fault the food, good quality and very tasty. Not large portions but given that you can order as many dishes as many times as you like that's not a problem. I hate to think what it would have been like if it was busy.
