Hori Japanese Restaurant

Hori Japanese Restaurant is a Japanese restaurant on Mustaqillik Street in the Mirzo Ulugbek District of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, near Amir Timur Square. Its menu covers Japanese and pan-Asian dishes, with sushi and noodle dishes at the centre. The signature items are sushi rolls, ramen and tempura, a combination that mirrors the style of casual Japanese dining found in many Asian cities: rolls built around fish, vegetables and rice, noodle soup in a savoury broth, and lightly battered fried seafood and vegetables. For travellers in Uzbekistan, the restaurant offers a lighter alternative to the traditional meat-heavy menu and a familiar option for those seeking Asian flavours. Because Tashkent is a landlocked city, visitors who are cautious about raw fish may prefer the cooked options such as tempura, ramen and vegetable rolls. The dining room is modern and tidy, with a calm, contemporary feel and moderate noise, and smart-casual dress is typical. The drinks list includes tea, soft drinks and other beverages typical of Japanese-style restaurants, though specific wine or sake programmes are not documented. Prices sit at the upper end for Tashkent, roughly 200,000 to 400,000 UZS (about $17 to $33) per person, reflecting the cost of imported ingredients. Reservations are recommended, especially for dinner and for groups. Opening hours are roughly 11:00 to 23:00 daily and should be verified. The central Mustaqillik Street location is a short distance from Amir Timur Square, making it convenient for visitors based in the city centre who want a change of cuisine after several days of local food.
