Honjin Izakaya continues to be a top destination for food lovers, offering incredible service and a welcoming atmosphere. The lamb chops and beef tongue are seasoned to perfection, while the wagyu beef sushi melts in the mouth. The hot sake remains a must-try, and the prices are very affordable for the quality of food. The Honjin Trinity and Special dishes still come highly recommended.
The restaurant is a great spot for both couples and larger groups, and it fills up quickly around 6 PM, so arriving early is advised to avoid waiting. Customers have enjoyed a variety of cocktails, with the margarita paired with the Honjin seared scallop roll receiving particular praise. The rolls are noted for their unique flavor profiles, showcasing fresh ingredients that stand out compared to typical Japanese restaurants.
While the BBQ skewers may vary in quality depending on consumption timing, the attentive service has been appreciated throughout the night. Recent visitors have found the atmosphere friendly and accommodating, making it an enjoyable dining experience. Annie, a staff member, has been praised for her exceptional care, especially in accommodating dietary restrictions. The unagi rice has been rated highly for its special flavor, alongside the lobster sushi roll, mango tempura shrimp sushi roll, and the best udon in Calgary. Overall, Honjin Izakaya remains a hidden gem for sushi lovers in Alberta, with amazing food and service that keeps customers returning.
