The first time I went to Hon’s was with my roommate in Germany and we got the salted fish and chicken fried rice, the gyoza and some chicken (which I’ve forgotten but it was flavourful).
The last time I went was with family and we chose a family meal — we had gyoza, wonton soup (has shrimp so I didn’t get to eat any), salt and pepper pork (lots of bones), mixed vegetables potato nest (bland), fried mushrooms (good but you reach the fried mushroom threshold pretty quickly) and salty fish and chicken fried rice. We got stuffed pretty quickly so we took the stuff home… unfortunately, it’s best served fresh from the kitchen. On reheating, it got soggy and bland… not so good.
Be prepared to line up outside and share your table with strangers at Hon’s if you come at peak dining hour. If you get in later though, there isn’t much of a wait but some of the hotter items may have sold out. The staff are helpful and assist in choosing dishes, but some of them assume that if you’re Asian, you must be Chinese, so that might need some clearing up.
Yum, this is a must-order. I try to go for the steamed pork/chicken for health reasons but sometimes I crave oil and grab the panfried.
I love this stuff, in spite of the smell. I think I can have this on its own as an entire meal. Sodium level alert though, this is quite salty.
When these are piping hot and crunchy, they’re great but make sure you have someone to share these with. I discovered that you get tired of eating fried mushrooms fast, if you don’t have any help.
Kind of heavy on the cabbage and the wontons have shrimp, so I didn’t eat too much of this except for the broth.
Decent, but tasted a little fishy to me. I liked the potato nest. Functional and edible!
Although a little too bony, I liked this. The dipping salt/pepper mixture was too much though… sodium alert!

Ooo, Hons, the best place to take a bunch of friends, as the platters are huge, and the price is just right. I love the meat dishes (yep, I’m a voracious meat eater) and chicken dishes are wonderful too. Grab a bunch of friends so you can get a table by yourself, or be prepared to sit at the cafeteria style tables with strangers! It makes the meals even more exciting.
