We were craving some comforting ramen on a cold night in Quebec city. There isn't much in terms of…read moreramen in QC so we headed to this spot as it had pretty solid reviews. However being from Vancouver where ramen is plentiful and so damn good, this left us feeling pretty underwhelmed. We waited about 40 minutes to get a table - I guess we went on a really busy evening (which oddly enough was a Sunday) and people ahead of us said "it's worth the wait". Unfortunately for us it wasn't. So where did it go wrong for us you ask? While the staff was really kind, it was a bit slow going - I had to ask for my drink order twice for my sister and I. It finally came with my soup. We had a salad to start called the Wafu salad - a Japanese chefs salad with Wafu dressing. While the dressing was the best part, there wasn't much on the deconstructed salad of corn, bell peppers, crunchy noodle, daikon, and lettuce, the salad was also served on a really awkward dish where the contents falls off the edges as you try to grab a bit of everything. Up next were the ramens - I got the Miso - Shallot, bean sprouts, nori, naruto, pork chashu and 1/2 egg and corn - I also got a 1/2 egg added for $1.50. If you're going to serve ramen for nearly $20 - you need to supply a full egg, that's just silly to only give a halfer. The first thing I noticed about the ramen was it was lacking broth - by the time I started getting into it, the noodles had soaked up a lot of it and I was left with mostly noodles - not great. The broth itself was flavourful so if it just had more of it, it'd be a better ramen. The corn was also odd for me and I didn't love that addition. My sister and moms was worse - my sis got the Vegetarian and my mom got the Yasai Miso. The vegetarian had so much stuff on top that again it takes away from the broth (which was also non-existent). My mothers was the same - the vegetables were just a bunch of cabbage lobbed ontop. Unfortunately I can't recommend this spot for ramen - the mediocre food is not worth it or the lineup to get it. The restaurant also looks much cuter in photos online than it was in-person - it lacks character in the decor.

Had great convo with him about American politics. Ambiance - was pretty chill. Went towards the end of lunch time so there weren't many people hence I didn't have to wait long for my orders.

The place does have some bad reviews but I see nothing wrong here personally. I travel all over the US and Canada for work and I've been to many places to eat. This place has great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. Make sure you plan a visit here soon.

We sat at the park for two hours. The last two hours we decide to walk all the way to Fanamanga for a bubble tea! Because why not! The bubble teas are VERY sweet and all made with powder. They mix and mix and mix all the artificial flavours together to make the new craft, but they do this with love. The staff here are very kind. I do enjoy this little shop with shelves and shelves manga (en Français), the complete Sailor Moon series en Français, a shine of Totoro in its fluffy big size, a wall of Japanese snacks, and clothes!! And a washroom. It's a very nice place to hang for an hour! With a nice April breeze flying in. Peaceful and quiet. The customers who visit here are very kind also.

Plates are meant to be shared and to continuously order so that you're not left waiting too long for another amazing bite. We tried mixing up yakitori with bowls so that we could get a variety. In order of what we enjoyed were the Butabara pork belly skewers (decadent and melt in your mouth) we ordered it twice , Pickled veggies (radish and cucumber) to cut through the fatty bits, Chicken skin skewer (I don't know how it's not slippery oily and how they made it into squares, witchcraft, I swear) Sashimi (yellow tail, butterfish, salmon) the seasonings they paired with each individual piece was so thoughtful. That Butterfish was buttering, yum! Pork dumpling with chili sauce (perfect acidity and spice) I drank it up! Miso and maple creme brulee (love the thick sugar crackling on top) Pork rice bowl with miso soup (reminiscent of Japan's beef bowl with pickled ginger) Quail eggs in dashi sauce (it was good, but there's no seasoning in the eggs) Salmon shrimp croquette (good fried bite) Chicken thigh skewer (moist, but it didn't have a much flavor as the other bites) We thoroughly loved our food from beginning to end. Service was exceptional and kind. We even loved the yuzu lemonade! You can tell the chef thought very carefully about which pairing would be perfect and then elevated it even further. It's like a love letter to Japan. So happy to have ended our Quebec stay at Hono.

The service was not great, took forever to get water and our drinks when they eventually came back to get our order. They forgot to put in one of our orders so we had to wait even longer at the end. I would say two dishes we got were great, the rest was so forgettable. Don't know how they're on the Michelin guide *sashimi : good, but nothing compared to what we've had at other places * mushroom skewers: surprisingly one of the favorites. Super meaty and flavorful. Great with the lime * marinated miso salmon: best thing here, this alone is why I didn't give it less stars. It was slightly cooked so the texture was melt in the mouth * duck hearts : they were fine, nothing to rave about. * okonomiyaki with pork belly: super disappointed in the pork belly. It reminded me of canned tuna in taste and texture. I don't know if they were trying to do a pork floss or something but it didn't work. The pancake itself was fine, have had way better. * pork dumplings: most disappointed and overhyped item. Lacked flavor and seasoning. It was like they used the leanest ground pork. It needed more * creme brûlée: it was fine, nothing spectacular about.

The menu though is pretty limited. They offer mostly just Japanese curry and some sushi.

The Japanese curry was home-made style cooking. Stick with the Japanese stuff and you will not be disappointed.

This place is a stone's throw away from our hotel so we decided to take a walk and bring some umbrella with us as we expect a bit of rain as forecast. I like the feel of this Izakaya and the menu didnt disappointed me. We arrived here a bit early and we were the first customers. The staffs were nice and I just love to hear their French greeting. We got multiple orders of ramen, a fish dish (i believe its a mackerel ) and a glass of sapporo. The ramen portions were big and it reminded me of those portions served in Japan. I miss Japan. The prep, ingredients, presentation and taste all passed my expectations and I highly recommend this place. Merci aux gens formidables du Québec, à la prochaine lors de notre prochaine visite.
