There is a wait-list sometimes so it's best to get there a limit early. Keep in mind the wait-list reflected is hosted by yelp, so after you check in the estimation can be different than their times. There is a to go side if you need it but overall the food was delicious. Would recommend to order the skewers piece by piece so you can eat them as they come out. There is a floor mat area, so be aware if you are aiming for that, you will have to take shoes off. The menu is big but everything has pictures, so for those are worried of what to get, the photos are pretty accurate. As for the skewers, I like the bacon asparagus and scallop ones over the skirt steak ones, but to each their own.
One of my favorite spots to go anytime I’m in town. Really great service and amazing food. Highly recommend the avocado tempura and mushroom zosui. The yakitori are so good, definitely give the bacon wrapped enoki, garlic butter shrimp, and pork belly a try. Highly recommend!
Great place for small bites, skewers, and even entrees of Japanese dishes. Weekdays at prime time meals are busy for a reason. Many items on menu for any preference. Can host big groups so will get noisy because everyone seems to be having fun.
Yakitori is very good in this place. They are open late with good selections of foods. You have a choice to sit seiza style or regular table. Small, cozy place. Service is friendly and quick. Staff is knowledgeable about the food they serve and made great suggestions on their favorites.
I was so happy to feel that Japanese vibe with variety of food selections! My favorite was the beef tataki salad, ginko skewers, bacon asparagus skewers, takoyaki and the grilled fish (forgot what kind of fish). All of their dishes were great tho. And that icy-cold glass of beer is just... too good for this hot weather!

Had a varied experience at Honda-Ya. The tonkatsu was a tad over-fried for my liking, but the freshness of the sashimi more than made up for it. The chicken leg was notably tender, a delightful surprise. Also, their chicken gizzard is commendable. However, the Dan Dan was fairly average. Overall, a good dining experience and will visit again to try other dishes.
Always a great time at Honda-Ya. Perfect for date night or getting together with friends for some great Japanese eats and beer/sake. Parking can be a bit crowded, but it's a large parking lot. Recommend getting there early because there's usually a wait due to its long time popularity. For people with purses, bring a purse valet because there's no where to put it. You can order drinks and food while you wait outside which is pretty cool. Menu is huge with just about something for everyone.

I recently visited this Honda-Ya and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! The speedy service on a weekday was really impressive - we were in and out in no time. On the weekends, the wait can get quite long, so I definitely recommend coming on a weekday if possible.
The food was simply delicious! We started off with the recommended Dan Dan noodles, and I have to say, the flavor was out of this world. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce had just the right amount of spice. My boyfriend got his usual order of yakisoba, and it did not disappoint. The flavors were rich and savory, and the noodles were perfectly cooked.
We couldn't leave without trying a few skewers, and they did not disappoint either. They were cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of char on the outside and juicy on the inside. They were so good, I forgot to get a pic when they came out.
Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Japanese cuisine. The food is top-notch and the speedy service on a weekday is really impressive. Just be prepared for a longer wait on the weekends. I give this restaurant a 5-star rating and will definitely be returning!
First time coming here, and I had a stellar experience. The skewers were awesome, korokke was everything I expected from a meatless potato ball, and the alcohol was not expensive for a dine-in place. The interior is wonderfully decorated too, a really nice vibe on the inside. Get here early in the evening if you can! We got here at 5 and were sat in about 15 minutes. By the time we were done there was a long line outside.
Do you really need me to tell you how good the food is over here? Just look at the line!
The advise when coming to this place: get here earlier than your intended meal time, register on the waitlist, grab a switch and get back into your car.
Food here is extremely affordable at the deliciousness that it offers is crazy.
My girlfriend says they’re a charity.
And just to be clear, they’re not “pretty good for this price range” they’re, “this is so good, wait, you said the yakitori is $3??”
Like honestly if they charges more I wouldn’t be mad because they’re so good.
