Honjo

We chose The Dreamer set menu ($680 per person), which included a range of creative and tasty dishes:
– Hamachi – Radish/Watermelon with Sashimi. Mind blown by this combination and loved the citrusy ponzu sauce, which brought out the freshness of each element.
– Kani Salad: Mix of king and snow crabs (our favourite). Again citrusy and fresh starter to the meal.
– East Meets West: Beef tartare with fermented rice. Admittedly we wanted an encore on this dish.
– Chicken Wings: Yakitori style sauce with a sweet and spicy twist.
– Sashimi and sushi: Super fresh selection of seafood!
– Zucchini Flower Tempura: Never had this before. A little bit bitter, but tasted great with the tempura sauce.
– Striploin: Medium rare, mushroom purée.
– Lemongrass Granita: by the time this was served, we were quite full, but the freshness of the lemongrass made this a light dessert.
– North to South: Prepared at the table by the waiter. Super creamy hokkaido milk ice cream over a citrusy japanese fruit.

Atmosphere was quite romantic and the tables weren’t full due to the fact we were the first seating and there were covid restrictions. The staff were quite friendly. The restaurant is pricey but rightly so as the level of detail and amount of thought put into each dish was far greater than your typical restaurant. We chose not to get the wine/sake pairing and just ordered a cocktail each.

2stars are for the great service and environment. I paid around $1000 for lunch (2 persons) and I got a chewy angus beef cube which costs me $500 and I couldn’t swallow any single one of it.
Tho the food display is fine, but the food is horrible
Staff very nice, but the whole experience wasnt worth $1000 for a lunch

Very enjoyable brunch. Great service, good quality food. Unlimited sushi boat!

Under the management of Pirata group, Honjo’s standard definitely is on par with other restaurants under the group. With covid 19, Honjo offers both brunch and dunch (dinner + brunch) since hk regulation only allowed dine before 6pm. Starters were great, the main wagyu steak was done exactly how I wanted it, the tenderness of medium rare was amazing. Those the teriyaki salmon was a sligtly over cooked but everything else compensated for it. Looking forward for my next brunch.

Warm welcome and drinks in the cocktail bar started off our evening. A late booking and our friends were running late. I ordered a bottle of South African chenin, whilst my partner enjoyed a beautiful shiso, basil and yuzu flavoured vodka sour. All 4 of us chose “the traveller” set for dinner. Along the way we tasted traditional and fusion Japanese cuisine. We added on some otoro and maitake, although the set was enough……. Textures, flavours and presentation were all fantastic. Wine glasses always topped up and friendly banter from the staff, in a packed venue! Another win for the Pirata group. We had an excellent night. Thanks to Paul the manager and the team for a wonderful dining experience!

Honjo is known for their semi befft brunch where you choose you own main course and free flow on all sides including selections of sushi, sashimi, and other cooked food. The restaurant has a nice ambient and can seat comfortably for party of all sizes. Stuff are friendly. Personally, I like honjo’s menu selection better than Zuma which the two are often compared. Honjo has better value for money as well. The free flow alcohol package is optional but it has an amazing variety of choice anything from sake to bubbles for a reasonable price. Don’t miss this gem if you are into good food and good vibes.

Unfortunately I can’t recommend this place. Went for the lunch set paid 630+ tip for two people, super slow service considering it was a Monday and operating at half capacity. They got the dessert order wrong and instead of fruit and matcha lava they have two matcha lavas which you had to pay extra for. It took two hours to have lunch the service was as that slow.

In love with the lunch menu at Honjo. Flavourful, tasty but not too heavy. Whenever I am in Sheung Wan I try to stop by this restaurant.

Very disappointing. Brought my wife for brunch for mothers day, first waiters served me before my wife, I was a bit shocked because this is the basics in terms of food etiquette. Then they bring you very cheap food but I have to say with a nice presentation, you really feel everything is calculated to the dime (not the first time I feel that in Pirata group, probably why they do so good though).
Then they served us oyster that were not fresh and taste rotten (and it was not only one but the whole batch.)
And to top it off they bring us an assorted dessert platter that look very nice with fruits and deserts. I take my first bit in a lemon pie with lots of cream and very little curd and what I get is an horrible taste of Magarine and not butter…SOOO CHEAP!

We visited for Sunday brunch to celebrate our anniversary. This was a much better experience than we expected! The food was delicious and the service was extraordinary.

A very cozy and comfortable restaurant. The brunch menu is simply fantastic. We had the teriyaki salmon and the baked chicken as mains, both great.

From the appetisers we liked the spinach in sesame sauce the best. Overall, the food was very flavourful, with a nice balance of savory and spicy.

We even enjoyed the dessert even though it was a bit too much sugar for us.

Decent brunch, great staff too. (tall South African man couldn’t have been more friendly and welcoming, makes for a great experience for a friends birthday) . Very enjoyable. Thanks very much .

Was here for the frunch with free flow for 2 hours and it was fantastic. Great service, food came quite fast but not too fast where we had too much food at the table. The flute was never empty and food tasted great.

Have heard of good reviews so decided to try out their Restaurant Week menu. Good atmosphere and attentive staff. Dishes were delicious. The only disappointment was the Wagyu striploin was very ordinary steak (not Wagyu) and a bit chewy. The Matcha lava was an absolute delight to end the meal.

Good food but “party” atmosphere/environment

Highly recommended brunch. The decor is super cool. The food is tasty. The people are pretty. What’s not to like

Came here at dinner time for Restaurant Week and had an amazing time. The food was fantastic, especially the hamachi starter, the wagyu steak main and the matcha lava tea dessert. Great environment and friendly service from staff as well! Overall great vibe!

Went here for a date night, and it was decent. Atmosphere was nice, and staff were very polite and attentive. They seemed a bit busy, but efficient and nothing much to complain about.

Food was alright – the uni toast was decent, but the uni was overwhelmed by other things on the dish. Something simpler would’ve been better. Sushi was decent, and brocollini was alright. TBH, there wasn’t anything that was a stand out in terms of food, but service and atmosphere was good and made up for it. Not sure if I’d come again for the food itself. Drinks on other hand, were pretty good.

Entering Honjo is like walking into a wonderland. Next to TMK, the entrance to Honjo appeared to be small. After taking a lift to first floor, you will walk into a massive restaurant which radiates a nice scent with a nice interior design.

The Restaurant Week deal is quite nice, for HKD$398, you get to enjoy all these Japanese dishes. The dinner was kicked start with five small dishes.

The steamed edamame was seasoned with sea salt. Ordinary yet enjoyable.

I love these boneless chicken wings so much! Seasoned with Okinawa black sugar, garlic and fresh chili, they were really enjoyable. Not your ordinary Japanese fried chicken.

The hamachi was really fresh, topped up with ikura (salmon roes), watermelon radish and ginger ponzu, it’s a really refreshing dish.

The texture of these wagyu pieces were interesting because of the crispy quinoa, giving them a rather crunchy sensation. Seasoned with chorizo oil, asahi tosazu and chives, the wagyu pieces had splendid flavors.

Among the five small dishes, I like these salmon tapioca puff most. Wrapped inside this crunchy rice puff were salmon, rice, yuzu-koshu and purple shiso. So enjoyable and delicious indeed!

The Sushi & Sashimi Platter were a bit ordinary, yet fresh and yummy. Just not as surprising as the salmon tapioca puff.

There were two mains. First one was this Cauliflower with black truffle, passion fruit butter sauce, capers, and almond pieces. The superb dressing made the cauliflower a grand dish. Yum yum!

The other main was this Australian BMS 3 Wagyu Striploin with Asian chimmichurri. The striploin was nicely grilled. But what topped up the whole dish was definitely the seasoning powder on the side.

My friend and I ordered one each of the dessert to share, so that we got to try both. The Yuzu & Umeboshi Curd was a bit ordinary. We adored the Matcha Lava more, especially the aromatic soba cracker on top. The matcha lava also made great ice cream dressing.

Worth visiting Honjo for a nice weekend dinner with friends.

What an amazing dinner! Food was exquisite and service impeccable from our server, Michelle. The new menu was really a pleasant surprise, highly recommended.

環境很舒服，食物也很精緻好吃！甜點的冰淇淋我個人很愛！

Came here to celebrate Buddha’s birthday and had the brunch menu with free flow champagne option. The starters are all really really tasty. The tomato and spinach dishes a highlight for me. The sashimi platter is great. Salmon, yellowtail and tuna with oysters. For the mains we had two kinds of steak and cauliflower. For me the last was disappointing, but the people who actually ordered it liked it. The champagne was good, the sake option not to my taste. Staff were very friendly and engaged with us and kids, the deco and atmosphere is also very chilled and relaxing. I think it was 2/3 full.

Thank you Reagan & Dominic for your hospitality! Best Sashimi Platter I had in a long time – thank you for accommodating our request to deep fry the prawn heads! Still by far, the best Tempura in town. Beautifully lightly deep fried and the salt condiments always complements the dish so well. Thank you Chef Stephane for letting us try your new Pork Belly dish, amazing!

Came for a Friday brunch. This includes freeflow but bizarrely only alcohol – the non alcoholic option is tepid tap water. Our waitress was rather blunt – “what do you want?” – but after speaking to another staff member managed to secure sparkling water! This was appreciated. The food was good quality and good value for money. I had the veggie set of corn starter (the carrot was not available), udon main, and cheesecake dessert. The starter and dessert were delicious. The vegetable tempura part of the main was also delicious but the udon and broth was just bland and heavy so I left this. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and I would return, but definitely recommend that they expand their freeflow option to include at least sparkling water as an AF choice.

The first time was amazing. Great portion amazing tastes.
But the second time was HORRIBLE.
We book the table and still have to wait after our booked time. While we are waiting, they got complain from people saying we sit too close to them and asked us to move.

And when we ordered the food. It came very slow.
I asked for a slice of lemon and they gave me a slice with at least 15 seeds on it lol. Meanwhile in the bathroom no clean towel were available.
We still paid extra tips even tho it was really bad. Best advice is just don’t come during peak hours.

Had brunch there with friends. Nice ambience but it can get pretty noisy if the place is full. Food was hit and miss. Hot food was acceptable and sashimi/sushi were chain restaurant standard. Service was not perfect but the team made an effort despite the busy flow.
