Yummy Japanese Tapas

by CStacey at Citysearch

Except for their service that seems to be inconsistent, their food is delicious.

The aroma alone makes me want to sit there forever.

Our favorites: yaki soba, sashimi bowl, agedashi tofu, soft-shell crab appetizer, menmochi (if you like mochi & cheese, this is a must), chicken karage, takoyaki, Japanese beef with mushroom, beef tongue, meatball, spicy jumbo shrimp, scallop (though they overcook it sometimes) & bacon wrapped anything (yum!)

Their cream anmitsu for dessert is a must. It's makes a perfect ending. I particularly enjoy them with azuki (red-bean) ice-cream.

A Real Japanese experience

by Frank50 at Citysearch

This is real Japanese food. There is a sushi bar and even a room to sit on the floor. Great Fun.

There is usually a wait so be prepared. Its worth it/ I love the skewers. Bacon wrapped Asparagus and the Large prawns are the family favorite. Try the ponsu beef. Its a real treat!

• Pros: GREAT FOOD
• Cons: None

Great Izakaya!! AUTHENTIC!

by Bingatron at Citysearch

I have lived in Japan for 27 years and going to Hond Ya is like eating at a good izakaya in Tokyo except for the American beer.

They have a good variety of food and authentically prepared. Offers items not commonly found at other Japanese restaurants so it draws Japanese customers from far away.

Definitely worth trying!

• Pros: Just like being in Japan!
• Cons: Crowded!
