HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!

by jenie

I had waited about two hours to be seated and another 10 min after to even get my menu. The waiter himself was decent and the food was decent.

I travel plenty in Asian and tried many different cuisine before so I know my stuff.

After leaving a 7% tip out of pure pity I get chase down my this worker who demands more tip from me in which I refused only to have her tell me she will remember my face and I am not allowed to come back.

This i not a place where I would even recommend to my worse enemy. The wait is too long for average food. Many other god eateries in the O.C

• Pros: nice setting
• Cons: bad service, long wait

Kappo Honda is a true gem...

by verve93

I had the good fortune of experiencing Kappo Honda last night and I cannot wait to go back! I went with my buddies and had a great time - thanks to the friendly staff, delicious food, and surprisingly easily affordable prices. I recommend the Blue Crab and Avocado hand roll to start. The Salmon was delicious and the serving size was good...with an order of the Red Potatoes with Bacon and Cheese my meal was more than enough. Add to that some ice cold Kirin and your good to go!

All in all, I was really surprised at the food and overall atmosphere of Kappo Honda - so much so that it prompted me to register and write my first ever review on this site.

• Pros: Food, affordable prices, and atmosphere.
• Cons: a bit of a wait to get seated - even on a Monday night. (but it's well worth the wait)

traditional Japanese food

by juju13es

It's very different from the typical Japanese sushi and teriyaki joint, and it's more similar to the authentic Tokyo dining style where everything comes out in little dishes (i.e. tapas). My favorite dishes would have to be the cheese fry and the bacon-wrapped asparagus! The place gets pretty crowded especially on the weekends, but for the most part- it's worth the wait. Plus, they keep the authenticity by hiring Japanese-speaking employees who are- for the most part- extremely friendly and courteous.

• Pros: authentic Japanese dishes, great staff
