On s'était fait vanter la place souvent & on confirme que les bons commentaires sont 100% mérités. La nourriture est excellente & l'expérience en groupe est vraiment la meilleure option pour partager les plats & goûter à tout. Nos gros coups de coeur qu'on recommande sans hésiter sont les légumes marinés, la soupe miso & le poulet karaage. Chose certaine, il va y avoir une deuxième fois assez vite.

Good place but food was off. I dont recommend it for big groups, no space at all. Workers are friendly though

Un sans faute. Allez-y pour une soirée en amoureux; ambiance cozy & service hors pair. Je rêve encore aux dumplings de porc...
Excellent rapport qualité/prix 😉👌

I would give 6 stars if I could. The food was exceptional. Every dish I've had was the best of its kind that I've ever tried in any izakaya restaurant. The service was incredible despite the restaurant being super busy. It is not cheap by any means but well worth the money for a great food experience.

Hono Izakaya has a nice atmosphere & the dishes we tried were generally well prepared, but the experience didn't fully live up to what you'd expect from a Japanese izakaya.

The biggest issue is the very limited selection. For a place calling itself an izakaya, the menu felt surprisingly narrow-there was only one sushi dish & one sashimi dish, which is quite unusual if you're hoping for the variety of small plates typically associated with izakayas.

The pricing is also far from typical izakaya style. Izakayas are usually casual places where you can try multiple small dishes without the bill getting out of hand. Here, the prices felt closer to upscale dining. For three of us, the final bill came to about $365 including tax & tip, which felt quite steep for the amount & style of food served.

Portions for drinks were also disappointing. An $11 shochu turned out to be literally two small sips, which felt excessive even by restaurant standards.

As for the food itself, while some dishes were good, a few were noticeably too salty & lacked the more layered, refined flavours you might expect from Japanese cooking.

Overall, the ambiance is pleasant & the kitchen shows potential, but limited variety, high prices, tiny drink portions, & uneven seasoning made the experience less satisfying than expected. Expanding the menu & bringing prices more in line with the izakaya concept would go a long way toward improving the experience.

Définitivement le meilleur restaurant japonais à Québec! La plupart des portions sont assez petites, ce qui est idéal pour ceux qui aiment goûter à plein de choses différentes. Non seulement la nourriture est excellente, mais le staff est super aimable & dévoué.

There are 2 sections to this restaurant- one is for ramen & the other has a menu of multiple small dishes that can be shared. We went to the latter. Every dish was memorable.
