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.

I had just checked into our hotel nearby, and wanted something relatively quick for dinner. My…read morekids specifically asked for something Japanese, so Tora-Ya Ramen look like a good option. We walked over and it wasn't too busy on a Sunday night. It's not a big space - maybe enough to seat 30 people. It's simply decorated, and some specials were written on blackboards on the wall. We basically both the miso and the shoyu ramen, and they were both good. They were a good size, and reasonably priced. Service was friendly and helpful. Why am I giving 3 out of 5 stars? It was a good meal, but nothing memorable about it. It's very similar to other ramen places I've been to, so in a few weeks, I might not remember much about my visit other than it filled me up, and there's nothing wrong with that. It would be dependable place to get a meal.

Had lunch here with the family 4x in total, 2 of which are seniors. We walked in 30 minutes after…read moreopening and were informed that the main cook was running a bit late. We didn't care since it was rainy and was not in a great rush. After us, a few more customers came in and pretty much everyone was doing the AYCE. The way it works is you write down the item # and followed by quantity. They did emphasize that you will be penalized should you waste any food twice before we actually placed our order. We waited a good 20-30 minutes or so before we were served actual food. The waiter did hand us the Japanese seaweed salad quickly as that didn't need to be cooked. BTW, everything is served as 1pc! So in preparation for the long wait, we were ordering our next order as the wait was long. Waiter was handing food 1 by 1. Midway during our lunch we were informed that the French couple eating at the other table was done and that the "OWNER" preferred the French way of ppl eating AYCE. As they hardly ate anything, left and paid AYCE price. I was like what the ....! To top it off we were asked multiple times if we were full. The whole situation was so absurd and laughable. Was I eating for free? Last time I checked I was a paying customer. If they felt cheated regarding the price versus quantity of eating they should have thought of that as NOT all people walking to through their door will eat like a bird! Food wise it was okay. The udon broths were good, we had seafood and spicy beef. Seafood fried rice was good. In terms of sushi and hand roll, fish to rice ratio was 1 to 3. It was pretty much all rice, I guess this is how they make up their margin. Also, no tuna it was just pretty much salmon. Shrimp tempura was okay. The sushi pizza was swimming in mayo. We ordered 1x Grilled Saury but was informed much later that they don't have it. Drinks are not included in the AYCE. So if you want to be harassed and be constantly reminded of how much you shouldn't be eating, then come here. Or if you need a no frill lunch and dinner at a decent pricing then this is the spot for you.

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.
