About

At Honō, it happens in the gestures, and in the consistency of these gestures. As newcomers to the community, it is with respect that we make our place. Saint-Roch is like a team: we wear it proudly on our jersey, and when there are players who fall, we are there to reach out to them.

Speaking of respect: for us, respect is measured by the sum of the parts to which we decide to apply it, and this is what makes our integrity. Here there is no discrimination. Respect is applied everywhere: to traditions, to food, to customers and to their experience. Fla-fla in our decor, we don't want it. We do not try to influence the client by anything other than our thirst to perfect the fusion of Japanese and Quebec cultures.

Review Summary

Hono Izakaya provides an exceptional dining experience that frequently earns praise for its authentic Japanese small plates, expertly grilled yakitori, and vibrant atmosphere. Guests consistently highlight the quality and creative preparation of the dishes, with standout items such as the tender pork belly, marinated quail eggs, and flavorful ramen often receiving special mention. While the popular venue can be bustling and reservations are strongly recommended to secure a spot, the attentive and knowledgeable staff work hard to ensure a welcoming environment. Whether visitors are enjoying cocktails at the bar or sharing a variety of flavorful tapas, the combination of professional service, delicious food, and a warm, inviting setting makes it a highly regarded destination in Québec City.

Cozy little place with a good vibe.

The service is friendly & takes the time to present you the dishes served. Their recommendations look to be on-point too. One critique I would give is the menu of the moment. There wasn't any explanation or promotion of it. I happened to be sitted next to the chalk board that had it written so asked about it or I would have missed it.

The cuisine is more fusion than traditional Izakaya, but the flavor is great. Out of the 5 dishes I ordered, only one was lacking a bit of flavor compared to the others that are oozing umami.

I would give it a 4.5 if I could. A few of the dishes were really outstanding but having previously ordered the same dish twice I've found that I don't consistently get the same quality. This was particularly pronounced on my latest visit when I repeated an order after an hour & felt the taste was not quite as good as the original dish ordered had been.

Atmosphere was great. Lively & bustling. Service was slow. We had been seated for almost 40 minutes before we got our drinks & they came out after we got our first dish. I'd noted that one person in our party was allergic to gluten in the reservation. It was not until we were seated & had placed our drink order that the server mentioned the gluten allergy noted in the reservation & informed us there were very few GF options. This would have been helpful to know prior to being seated, or even before we got to the restaurant, since they obviously knew because they proactively mentioned it to us after we ordered our drinks, & especially since there was a question about allergies during the booking process. The food we did get was fine (& just fine); the miso sake was mushy (GF), the edamame overcooked (GF, took almost an hour to come out), but the pork shumai (not GF) were yummy. If you can eat gluten this would be a fun place to spend an evening but if not I wouldn't bother going unless you're not hungry (or thirsty, lol).

Easily the best meal I had during my recent trip to Canada (Montreal & Quebec). Every bite was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully prepared-the sushi & sashimi were simple yet elegant, & incredibly refreshing. The place was buzzing with energy, with a lively, modern vibe that made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Hon? Izakaya, & I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in town!
