I have to say that I really love their food. They are friendly and quick. They are always courteous. The food is always delicious and freshly prepared. The prices just went up a few dollars a dish but the amount of food is always enough for two meals. I personally love the Chicken and Shrimp over rice. I have always loved Chinese food (go figure for an Italian !) but I also love cooking myself but every now and again I feel like I need a little coddling so I treat myself to some Chinese cuisine. Try it yourself and you'll see what I'm talking about. The food is delicious and amazing. read more

I went and got the veggie entree with noodles. A great price, quick service, and the ambiance to sit and eat was nice. Would recommend for anyone who loved the "Japanese" spots in the mall food courts back in the day. read more

Yomi opened down the street from me. I found it on accident and fell in love. I knew that this place was similar in concept. The menu was very similar. They didn't have tofu as an option, so I wouldn't be able to take my vegetarian friends here. The guy who took my order....maybe it just wasn't his day. He wasn't too happy to see me. There was this other lady who helped and she was extremely nice! I ordered the chicken teriyaki with noodles. It was a TON of food. It came out fast too, quicker than a fast food drive thru! It was okay, not nearly as good as Yomi. I felt like I had cheated on one of my favorite places, and it wasn't really worth it. I think I will pass. read more

Their chicken teriyaki is the best in the area. It comes with fried rice and veggies and it's delicious. I've been ordering at least once a week! read more

Let's just say this place gets busy!! So it requires a little bit of patience. And the wait is worth it in my book. But before I get into that just wanted to say the decore is nice and clean. Plenty of seats for everyone. The service is fast and they make sure to read your order to you making sure it's correct. Okay, so I ordered the "chicken & shrimp" Teriyaki, but have the rice separately. And just look at the pic. They do not skimp on anything. Lol. I Just had a big smile on my face. Plus it tastes so good! I asked for extra sauce cause it's so tasty. I know I will be coming back again to try other dishes! read more

This food is so fresh, cooked so fast, and tastes so good. The prices are CRAZY good! The portion sizes are HUGE! You'll surely have left overs. Very clean, welcoming atmosphere and the staff are so friendly. Everything on the menu is between $3.95-$13.95. Incredible value. It's mostly a takeout spot but we dined in and it was very nice. Why spend $15 on a tiny burger meal when you can get this for under $10. read more

Honoka, the little Restaurant with Big Personality!!!!! From the warm greeting when we walked in the door, to the genuinely familial interest of the workstation, I felt like a relative!!! I Felt like I was visiting my southern family,and they got me right!!! I ordered the combo with Chicken, beef and shrimp over cabbage and rice, the portion was so benevolent three people could have enjoyed this meal. We also had the steamed Edamame. The cost was great value for the food served as they did not skimp on one item in that platter. Seasoned perfectly it left my taste buds happy , I even had some for lunch the following day. Honoka, you're one of my new VaBeach Favorites!!!!!! read more

Good food, good prices, and good service! Every option is delicious. My favorite place to grab teriyaki from.

We wanted a quick stop for dinner and after craving Chinese/Japanese food, came here after reading the reviews. Before even entering the establishment, you can smell the delicious food from outside. Inside, the workers were so busy and hard working getting orders out the door. Even with it being busy, the staff were friendly and ensured to bring our bag of food over to us while we were sitting. I had the shrimp teriyaki with noodles and my boyfriend has the chicken and shrimp teriyaki with fried rice. The portions for the price are impressive. We had enough for leftovers the next day. Also, we got the yumyum sauce which was a perfect touch to the meal. We will absolutely be back again. Thank you! read more

Omg the shriimp and beef combo with extra veggies w fried rice is so delish, alot of meat, veggies and rice, veggie and chicken egg rolls dioped in yummy sauce also great... Food never disappoints.

I still haven't been to the actual restaurant physically but plan to do so soon. My overall rate of experience : 9/10 read more

I used to pick up orders from Honoka Express when I was a Door Dash driver. There would be seemingly endless orders and though you can't go inside (Covid times), the delicious aroma of great food just escapes through the slightly opened door before the plastic bags with good order were given to me to deliver. Now that I can choose to seat myself to eat in, service undoubtedly was fast. I ordered the chicken and shrimp bento box to go. I was leery that the take out portion wouldn't be the same as that of done in; but I needn't even worry in the first place. When my order number was called, one staff member said he forgot something. He came back to give me a small paper bag that typically is used for packets of sauces or fortune cookie. He placed the paper bag in the plastic carryout bag. When I got home, I was happily surprised to see that he gave me 3 more dumplings. Thank you for the generosity, dumplings are my favorite! This is true customer service! When I brought my order home, it was piled high. read more

Was looking for some comfort food when I couldn't leave my hotel. Honka delivered! I love that typical "mall food" teriyaki hibachi and this (like other reviews have said) was just a better version. Meat was pretty good (not quite as questionable as the mall version) and I loved the sauce! I also ordered the sushi (volcano roll) just to see how it would be, and I would not order again. I wasn't totally sure what kind of fish it was, but the sauce on top was ok. My delivery was decently fast & on time according to the web ETA. I ordered directly though Honoka's website and it linked me to my DoorDasher to track. read more

The service was quick and friendly. My beef and shrimp teriyaki was fresh and delicious. It seems like they still have no seating inside, like in covid days. The tables have created a barrier in the middle of the restaurant. I would have loved to have eaten inside but they don't allow you to. For that reason I had to eat in my car, or else I probably would've given this place 5 stars. read more

Classic Teriyaki meal from Honoka! The rice & chicken for the chicken teriyaki were really tasty! Chicken wasn't over cooked. Comes close the the teriyaki spot that use to be in pembroke mall. I also got the vegetable noodles & sweet potato rolls. The veggie noodles needs more seasoning, but is a good option for vegetarians. Service was ok. They were very busy, so it took a minute for someone to speak to me to get my order. read more

This is my first review of Honoka, but I've been eating here for a bit...At least three+ years because I started before COVID in 2020. It has been consistently very clean and the food well-prepared and cooked to order. I always get the Bento Box . I want all the things, so it's a good choice. The portions are substantial for the price. The price is wonderful! And the taste is yummy. I also usually get an egg roll and edamame. I get the beef as my protein choice and fried rice. You can choose your protein and either white or fried rice, or noodles. The ginger dressing is well-made and tasty. The gyoza are crispy and the filling is juicy. The sushi roll is "crab-salad"ish, but tastes good. I don't eat here for the sushi; I eat here for the hibachi. The beef is always prepared well, never dried out or chewy. It is cooked fresh to order. The fried rice is just rice, but I get it fried for the added texture. Get some yum-yum sauce to dip your gyoza and bites of rice in as you eat. Yum yum! The egg roll is fine, always crispy, but could have more filling. I love egg rolls, so I always eat one. Overall, the food and cleanliness is spot on. read more

First my love for teriyaki chicken is unreal, I thoroughly enjoy the taste of the teriyaki chicken from Honoka. I was introduced to this place a couple years ago, but I keep forgetting to take a picture of my food before writing a review.... Yes it's that good IMO. You really get a lot of food for the price you pay. I have also tried their shrimp and beef and it's delicious as well. I haven't had a bad experience with the food taste from here, compared to other places that have had bones etc in their food. I always order online so I can just go and pick my food up. The place still has their dining closed since the pandemic isn't over which is respectable and they try their hardest to get all their orders made in a reasonable amount of time. I have only had 1 instance in which I waited nearly an hour after I placed an online order but it only happened once out of the many and I mean MANY times I visited. They sell a variety of items including sushi, for you sushi lovers. Definitely a place worth trying! read more

I've eaten at this place several times. Food is always good and portions sizes great. Imagine going there after a long day at work and ordering what you usually get and get home and there is barely any meat in your tray. And your teen opens their's and it's full. I will still eat there bc the food is good, I just don't want them to start being inconsistent w preparation, so this is my way of bringing it to their attention since I wasn't about to drive all the way back there. read more

Sampled some sushi, a bento box and beef teriyaki. Pros: Huge portions at a very reasonable price Cons: there is no way this place deserves nearly 5 stars (yelp rating is currently 4.4). The teriyaki was the main draw (teriyaki express) but the "teriyaki" sauce was a bland and unimpressive version of a standard Chinese cuisine brown sauce. There was nothing "japanese" about the sauce and it was not a "teriyaki" dish. It was far more like eating beef lo mein than beef teriyaki (and we tried both versions of beef teriyaki with rice and noodles). The "mixed vegetables" in the food were primarily the firm/lower parts of leafy veggies (bok choi, probably) with few signs of other types of veggies. Even assessing the food as beef lo mein it was of poor quality; the sauce was bland, watery, and not very good. I would not go here again. Teriyaki Madness, which is not very good either, serves beef teriyaki that at least has the correct "teriyaki" flavors. The sushi portions were large and filling but otherwise not special. The yelp rating built me up to high expectations and this establishment completely failed to deliver. read more

Food was soo good. Wish it wasn't in such a busy intersection or I'd go all the time. Definitely worth it, though.

It was really busy, so you probably should order on their app and give it 20-30 minutes. The food was mid at best. The chicken was okay. I think they marinated the meat. It didn't taste like they added sauce to it while it was cooking, Only after it was plated. The vegetables were horrible. Get it without the veggies. They are steamed with no flavor or seasoning. Chicken egg rolls were also pretty bad. TBH, you'd be better off getting mall or buffet teriyaki chicken. Was not worth the wait. They may have been good at one time, but I think they are just too busy to keep up with quality flavor. The only thing they had going was the price and portion seemed reasonable. read more

One of my favorite places to eat! Lots of delicious food for a great price! There is usually a bit of a long wait if you order there, but call ahead and the wait isn't bad. The staff is always friendly and efficient, as well. read more

I tried this for the first time and i love it. They give good portions and it's delicious. The staff is very nice and they definitely stay busy. I love the fact that I can have for leftovers and it still tastes the same from when I first received it. I totally recommend!!! read more

Was very good. Gave great portion size as well. When you ask for extra sauce, they give you extra sauce. Not stingy at all,

Like the mall, this place will serve you up some quick and healthy hibachi oh and sushi. I had the shrimp hibachi and it was plentiful. The sauce on it was ok. I noticed the cook slathered the sauce after the shrimp was cooked in my container. Maybe if he cooked my shrimp in the sauce it would have tasted better. The chicken however was better. So next time I would get that. The veggies were cabbage and cooked perfectly for me. There's a station we're you can add soy sauce and sirachi sauce so that can make anything better! read more

Best spot especially for lunch! We order this for work all the time. You can make your orders/pay online and do curbside pick up. They give HEAPING portions for their meals. And the food is so good. Most of us portion it out for two/three meals! The fried rice is part of the meal and you just choose your protein. Everything is such a decent price and the food quality is worth it! read more

For the first time in a long time I was disappointed. My son came home with the order and I served my seven year old daughter and she told me it was yucky, I then tried it and then I realized why it was yucky because it tasted burnt. I was so disappointed because now I had to figure out something else for her to eat and she really wanted her chicken teriyaki. Hope this doesn't happen again but I'm afraid she's not gonna wanna eat this again. read more

I've recently discovered Honoka Teriyaki Express, and it was way better than I expected it to be! It's hard to find takeout spots offering quality seafood options. I went for the chicken and shrimp teriyaki, which was packed with shrimp, chicken, rice, and veggies! It reminded me of something you'd get from a mall food court, minus the trip to the mall. They gave me at least 15 extra-large shrimp, which is unheard of for under $15! My biggest issue is that there were a lot of gristly pieces of chicken that were inedible. The rice wasn't great, but I did appreciate that there were soy/duck sauce packets included in the bag without me asking. The veggies were a blend of cabbage and broccoli and had quite a bit of excess water which kind of watered down the flavor. I drained the water and added black pepper and soy sauce which helped to elevate the veggies. Overall, I'd say this place is a hit! I was so impressed by the shrimp that the other issues didn't bother me as much. Next time I'll skip the rice and chicken and order the shrimp teriyaki with all veggies! read more
