" I recently tried Honjin and was not as impressed as I hoped to be. The sushi while fresh, felt slightly overpriced for the portion sizes, which were smaller than expected. The service was a bit slow, but the atmosphere was delightful. It’s certainly got potential, but I think my next visit will be elsewhere after this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dining experience at Honjin Izakaya was a mix of highs and lows. While some dishes like the lobster udon were spectacular, others didn't quite meet our expectations. The bluefin sushi was fresh but the portion size felt small for the price point. We were slightly disappointed with the service, as it seemed they were overwhelmed. However, the ambiance is worth noting - it's cozy and reminiscent of an authentic izakaya. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing meal at Honjin! The atmosphere felt like a slice of Japan in Calgary. The servers were lovely and very accommodating. We tried the seasonal rolls which were fantastic! The only downside was finding street parking but that’s a minor detail compared to the delicious food. Couldn’t recommend it more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Honjin a few times, and the quality has been consistent. The sushi is always fresh, and I love their happy hour specials on oysters! However, last time I felt the service was a bit inattentive. We had to wait quite a bit for a refill on our drinks. Still, the food makes it worth another visit, and I highly recommend the Honjin Trinity roll! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, not the best experience for me. The food was good, but there was nothing particularly special about it, and the service was slow. I expected more excitement based on other reviews. The tablecloth had some stains which made it feel less clean. I do admire the decor but won't rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had an incredible dinner at Honjin Izakaya! The ambiance is delightful, with a touch of Japanese culture woven throughout the decor. I enjoyed the Honjin Trinity and was blown away by the flavors! The staff were very attentive, making sure our glasses were always full. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes! Highly recommend for sushi lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem! The sushi selection is fresh and flavorful with some unique options. Loved the ambiance and the cozy vibe. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine. Looking forward to returning soon and sampling more of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)
