An all-you-can-eat sushi place? To someone with a big appetite you'd think this is amazing. However, they fall a bit short on execution. We stopped in for dinner one evening and planned on having a quick meal. Things started off well but after we ordered we sat and sat and SAT while they prepared our food. It was a bit odd because the place was not overly crowded (on a week night) but it took an inordinately long time to get our food. The food itself was fine. Not amazing, not terrible, just fine. But not good enough of get me to return again in the future. read more

We were a hungry party of four on a Sunday evening looking for satisfaction in the form of AYCE sushi & apps. Honkaku was over the top good. A few fried apps (crab Rangoon, oysters, soft shell crab) and a few healthy (seaweed salad, house salad, yakatori, shumai.) The shumai was served cold. All other apps were awesome, especially the soft shell crabs. The sushi was all awesome. I found the rolls without mayonnaise to have a better return value. Service was excellent. read more

A little pricy but worth it when you taste the food, amazing, love it!! You can't go wrong giving this restaurant a try. read more

All you can eat sushi, good selection of premium sushi dishes. Several appetizers like crab Rangoon, fried crab. The drinks were actually really good the liquor bowls was just excellent. Sushi was very good seating was good, the 4 star is because the staff was lacking in character or communication. With that aside it was a great experience. read more

We went here for a quick lunch while out on a shopping spree. It was the closest sushi place to where we were when hunger struck so we decided to give it a try. When we walked in the floor was dirty and the place was giving off mild discoteca vibes but the place was pretty busy so we decided to grab a table and give it a go. We couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. The sushi was a home run. A+! All staff we interacted with were kind and radiating positive, happy go-lucky vibes. We were provided with complimentary edamame while we waited for our sushi rolls too! Such a nice surprise. Now, the sushi. We ordered two vegetarian rolls and two specialty rolls. We both had water and the total cost before tip was about $57. Well worth it. They did not skimp on ingredients and these were saucy and big, fat rolls. Made to perfection. My goodness are we glad we stayed and dined here. They also have all you can eat lunch and dinner options but the only sushi on the all you can eat menu are nigiri style (non-rice rolls). Looked like a few were taking full advantage of the all you can eat option so if you're a meat eater and feeling like a bottomless pit this might be worth a try. read more

2nd time reviewing Honkaku on Yelp. 1st time Dec 2022. I wish I had friends who liked karaoke, because I would be here every weekend! YES, Honkaku has KARAOKE. You can call and reserve their karaoke room. So so fun and I love hearing people having fun when I'm there (it's not loud, but you can faintly hear it if you're seated close enough). We have come here many times and love the AYCE. Truly great sushi for the price (~$35 a person). Love all the variety you can pick from. The service is awesome and the manager is truly a GEM. Some of my favorite speciality rolls: Green Turtle, Mexican, and the Spicy Tuna. My husband said he would take a bullet for the Dynamite roll, so take that as you will lol. I thought it was too sweet for me. I'd rather come here than drop +$100 at some overrated St Charles sushi bar that has $20 rolls. Like, this is such an amazing deal and the sushi is so solid. Let's be real: we're in the northwest suburbs people. Chicagoland has limited spots with fish so fresh it waves a fin at you, so I'll happily scoot my way to Honkaku any day for the price, service, and quality. Hands down my favorite place to sit down or even pick up some to-go sushi from. Also, I wish every restaurant had a manager as attentive and charismatic as the manager. Makes for a great experience and something we love coming back to. When my parents are in town they always ask us to take them here because they love chatting with him read more

All you can eat sushi for $34 dinner price, not too bad. We tried a few appetizers, nothing special skip the Fried calamari not what you expect. The sushi wasn't bad just wasn't the sushi experience I had a taste for. The best roll we tried was the spicy 2 in 1, very fresh. We sat outside because it was a nice day, our waitress was very attentive never forgot about us. The cocktails were the star of the show, I had a lychee martini made perfectly. If you're looking to try out new rolls without paying too much I'd recommend checking this spot out. read more

Good place for all you can eat (AYCE) sushi! They disinfect the tables pretty well as I could smell the bleach when I first sat down. It was a little unappetizing, but the odor went away. $26 for dinner $20 for lunch There are lots of options on the dinner AYCE menu, including appetizers, nigiri, rolls and desserts. The soft shell crab and crab rangoon appetizers are pretty good. I also enjoyed the strawberry and green tea ice cream for dessert. Between the Crazy Kani roll and the Caterpillar roll, I liked the first more. .|\---/| | o_o | .\_^_/..2021 read more

Not worth $35. We still go to AYCE located in the city and while the menu is comparable, the price is not. Service was good and food came out on time. I'm also disappointed that shumai is deep fried, not steamed. I dined with w a 3yo and a 6 yo, and they both paid half the adult price. It was an "expensive" AYCE sushi meal. We weren't about to get green tea ice cream because it was located in the deep freezer and was not able to scoop. read more

This was my first visit at this restaurant. It is larger inside than I imagined. They also have the bar. We came to try sushi. This restaurant has sushi buffet. However, they will charge the customer if they have any left overs. The rolls were mediocre. I loved the appetizer soft shell crab. It crunchy and tasty. read more

The food is delish and fresh though they have a slight lack in creativity. They do not disappoint, the sushi is flavorful and the freshness shows. The service is excellent if they would promote the drink menu a little more , would hope ease the pairing of cuisine and drink. The ambiance is nice with a cool tones and diversity of music through out the night. I must say my first time was a great time I hope to stop by here again. read more

Everything was fine at first and our group of friends have been here a number of times. The kitchen was bringing out our apps and everything...we waited over an hour and when we asked about our orders, we were joked to and questioned who we gave our orders to...we get it that it's Covid and everyone is short staffed, but instead of apologizing or even saying "hey sorry we're backed up" he started to make us feel like it was our fault we ordered? It was very unacceptable and we only simply asked for the real wait time. Overall not a pleasant surprise for this stage of the pandemic. Zero excuse to be rude and condescending. Probably not gonna come back. He never apologized. read more

Honkaku Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glendale Heights, Illinois

I have been to this location dozens of times over the years The price increases are completely understandable but $34.95 I'm sorry is very high for poor quality. Myself, two adults and 1 teenager had dinner last night. We waited 2 hours for our 5 rolls!!! A number of appetizers we ordered never came then we had to argue about 1 roll that was missing. The manager was completely disrespectful and lied to our face about splitting the checks. I felt bad for the guy who was also arguing with the manager in the lobby who was told it would be 15mins for his order to be ready and was still waiting 1.5 hours later!! I will NEVER visit this location and you should think twice too! read more

I've come here quite a few times and I'll probably update this review at some point with photos. The place is nicely decorated and the service is alright. The food is amazing! If you're looking for faster service I don't recommend going on the weekends or later at night. Other wise you'll be waiting a while! I recommend getting the all you can eat if you're by yourself or in a party of two. Otherwise you're paying over $100 for food that will be under $100. I can't review the drinks personally as I'm under 21 but, my family has ordered some and they claim it is quite good. Watered down sometimes but, good. Edit: I would like to add that I started coming here when the all you can eat was around $25 per person and they have updated it to be around $35 per person due to inflation! ‼TIP:: Remember not to over order and just order as you go. If you over order they do have a charge per sushi if you do take out (for the all you can eat)!! read more

What a gem!!! Came too Sonny Acre farm with my kiddo and found a sushi place nearby there... Was genuinely surprise by the quality and service of the place. We did the ayce for lunch and they have an extensive menu so Iliad to the one in the city They even have fried oysters although not pictured. I don't think you could find a sushi place better nearby for $20 I will definitely go back next time I visit the farm... read more

Love their all you can eat option! Apps are delish and so are the rolls. Beer is always cold. It's our go to

Really good AYCE sushi! Went with a large group of us for a friend's birthday and the servers were extremely helpful with us! It did take a while to receive everyone's appetizers and sushi because of different orders, but it was worth while. We also had sake and Sapporo throughout our meals. We really enjoyed the crab rangoons - really crispy!! The sushi was also delicious and some of them had jalapeños which the heat really added up! The fried oreos, fried bananas, and ice cream were all delicious desserts. Really enjoyed everything and ended up paying ~$44 per person with tax and tip! read more

Fast, attentive service and sushi side of the restaurant is nice. Some decent all all you can eat sushi. Recommend: Crab Rangoon Dynamite Roll Tempura Banana Tempura Oreo Consider: Godzilla Skip: Takouaki - bland Miso soup - too salty, not miso-y. Chicken broth? Snow Mountain - bland Mexican roll - no flavor except the slice of jalapeno on top Whole time they loudly played truly over-dramatic, schlocky, romantic music. read more

This is my second time coming here for all you can eat sushi. Sushi is good nothing too special but each time I came here I had to wait more than an hour to get my food and this time they served parties that came after we did before us. My husband ordered chicken teriyaki, food took so long as well to come and came not hot but because we were both so hungry at this point we just ate it anyways. Last time I thought of giving them a second chance but after this time I don't think I will come here again read more

This was the second time going. I went once for lunch and this time for dinner. I could not give 5 stars because it is not consistent. I will continue to come here because for the price it is a great option. The soft shell crab this time was not fresh, it tasted old and just did not have that umami flavor. The sushi was delicious. The fried banana was delicious. The ice cream I could not eat this time because it had frozen ice mixed in from freezer burn. The service ok. read more

We waited for 30 mins when there are open seats at the hibachi.. Not sure why the manager made us waited when at the end they sat us at the hibachi anyways. I asked one of the employee how long the wait and he said he doesn't know... The sushi is OK. Rice is a bit hard. Sashimi salad, edamame is not that great. The jalapeño bomb is good. Lack of service. I honestly don't know who is our waiter. The manager is doing most of the servicing. Need to work on service. The waiters doesn't seem like that want to be there. Won't be back. The city has a better service and better sushi for same price. read more

We hosted my parents' wedding anniversary here with 40+ people. We did the dinner sushi buffet. The staff is very good. Our host/restaurant manager was super friendly. The food is very, very good. If you are hosting a big party, make sure your guests know and very aware that uneaten food is $1/piece. Some of our guests got too excited with the buffet and ordered more than they could eat. read more

Never again... I hate to be that guy, but I can't give this place more than 2 stars. I know you can't expect to fill up on mostly fish from AYCE places, but this place ventures into uncharted territory (or at least for an AYCE place in the suburbs) when it comes to adding an INSULTING amount of rice in their sushi. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking, but seriously, I felt like eating 2-3 pieces of nigiri was like eating 1 sushi roll from literally any other restaurant in terms of the amount of rice I was consuming. I asked my server if the amount of rice I got was normal, and he said that it was and that they purposefully weigh out each piece of nigiri to have a certain weight of rice. What kind of sushi restaurant does that?? To add insult to injury, the rolls were decently packed with rice too. The only few things which save this place from a one star from me are their selection of more expensive AYCE appetizers like soft shell crab and sashimi salad as well as my server during my visit. However, at the end of the day, I don't know how any hardcore sushi lover will ever enjoy the kind of experience I had here. read more

I eat here all the time. Excellent pricing and selections just for lunch!! This place sets apart from other all you can eat sushi places with the SASHIMI SALAD!!

I recently ordered sushi for delivery. I was quoted 40-60 minutes for the delivery of my order. After 80 minutes, I called the restaurant to check on my order because I still had not received it, and the person who answered the phone said it would be ready and delivered "soon" and that he would call when the food left the restaurant. He explained that they were very busy. After 110 minutes, I called again because I had not heard from the restaurant and he said it was "in his hands and being sent now" ... that was true because I received it 10 minutes later. I don't live far from the restaurant and 10 minutes is about right for the amount of time it would take for the delivery. Separately, I had the delivery driver from GrubHub texting me to complain the restaurant was not being responsive to his inquiries about when the food would be ready and that they were telling him the food would be ready "soon" as well. I had to play the "third party" in this exchange and my order was over an hour late. The food I ordered was good (miso soup, spicy tuna roll, fire dragon roll), but I will not order for delivery again. read more

We have been in many Japanese restaurant for sushis. We decided to check this restaurant out after q long working week. You do 2 way, order from the menus or buffet. We decided to tryout the buffet and it is $27.99 per person. I was stung about their sushis, the rice wasn't fully cook, the sushis has thick layer of rice. That made we think it's not Japanese chef made sushis, it's someone who tried to replicate Japanese sushis. On the other hand, $27.99 buffet per person was not bad at all. Each sushi roll come with 6-8 slices. But there is a $1 fees for every slice that you leftovers. read more

****RECOMMEND**** I'm a sushi newbie - but my tastebuds aren't! My 'buds know who brings on the yum - and this time it was Honkaku Sushi. SERVICE: Hostess was sweet, friendly and took time to explain in great detail the "All You Can Eat" deal. She said their sushi is always fresh and made-to-order (no conveyor belt!). Our actual waitress was sweet and PATIENT - we were snails on Xanax while deciding what to get. The bartender stopped by to see how I liked my Icy Pear Martini (tasty and strong, btw). He recommended I try the Lychee one next time. On our way out, he came up to us and shook our hands and said, "see you tomorrow." That's exactly what they say at Good Tequila's restaurant (it's in the same parking lot as Honkaku). I wonder if he used to work there?? Such a nice guy! "ALL YOU CAN EAT": AYCE is where it's at. The AYCE Dinner is $24.95 and Lunch is $18.95. Order whatever you want off of the AYCE menu (basically every roll and appetizer on their regular menu), you can mix and match pieces, rolls, appetizers...whatever you want. If you normally can handle 2 specialty rolls, you're better off doing the AYCE than paying for 2 individual rolls. It comes to about the same price as AYCE, but you get more bang for your buck and more variety with AYCE. AYCE TIP: Don't go crazy and order TOO many items right off the bat, thinking you can just toss the extras or take them home without being charged. WHY? If you don't finish MORE THAN HALF of any roll, you will be charged an extra $1.00 per piece left over. Have fun, but don't overdo it or you'll pay - literally. FOOD: The 'Dynamite' appetizer was good - but spicy (well, for me anyway). The 'Green Turtle' and 'Dynamite' rolls were freaking delicious! Literally W.O.W. We also loved the Sapporo and Snow Mountain rolls. So, after one appetizer and almost 4 rolls, our seams were bursting. We only had 4 pieces left, so we didn't have to pay the extra $1/piece. Phew! If I'd eaten 1 less piece, I would have had another $5 tacked onto my bill. Eek. But, I get why they do it this way... COST: Before our 15% off coupon, I think our total price was about $60, minus tip. That was for 2 AYCE meals, one $9 martini and one Mountain Dew (with 4 sushi pieces to take home). ATMOSPHERE: Contemporary and clean. Cozy - decorated for Christmas. I also love their presentation of sushi rolls. If your group orders a LOT of sushi, it comes out on big wooden boat. Our 3 rolls came out on a platter with a flower/tree (?) affixed to it. We felt very "at home" here and will definitely return soon! *****UPDATE****** Mind blown. Honkaku was appreciative of my good review and they went out of their way to show me. My husband, son and I went back, and they gave us, not 1, but 2 free desserts. Both the mochi and the tempura banana & Oreos were both delicious!! They also gave my son some lychees to sample, since he'd never heard of them before. So, I wanted to extend a THANK YOU for such classy and generous service! We had a wonderful night, and it was the perfect way to say goodbye to our son, whom we were going to be driving back to college after winter break. You know we'll be back! read more

We tried this because it's right by our place. It was weird that the inside didn't change at all... but anyways, we wanted to see if it was good. The all you can eat has a huge selection, however it took a long time to get, like 6 people back there but took forever and the first time we were missing rolls. The sushi was okay, the nigiri was not great... the waitress was honestly overbearing. "Are you okay?" "How is everything?" "Want more?" Sounds great but then you just want to eat in peace. Overall, I would try some of the speciality rolls. They all look wonderful but the quality of fish doesn't seem to be the best. read more
