My girlfriend and I had a phenomenal experience at Sushi Hon last night. We did the chef’s table, omakase experience, and absolutely feasted. Every single sushi dish was so thoughtfully curated and incredibly delicious. The meal was paced very nicely, and the amount of food in total was perfect for me, although my girlfriend was pretty stuffed by the end of the meal. They brought out a cheesecake slice as a surprise for my girlfriend’s birthday, which was very sweet. I also got a piece of my favorite sashimi as a surprise at the end of the meal. Our sushi chef Yong was incredibly attentive, kind, and thoughtful. We would love to come back sometime

I took a few of my favorite colleagues here for lunch. This was my second visit and all of their first time and it was amazing. Service was spectacular, food excellent, atmosphere was very nice and not too loud. Overall 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

The dishes were interesting and seemed to be constantly changing as I have not been there twice. The host was spectacular and every one of the servers was really on it. Is a wonderful date and dining experience. I’d recommend it to anyone who likes all kinds of food. There’s something for everyone even people who don’t like sushi.

We booked Dragon Horse’s private room for a company dinner with 18 people, and everything was wonderful from start to finish. Booking the large private room was very easy—the private event coordinator was responsive and great to communicate with. We ordered a lot of sushi rolls and nigiri, and everything was high quality and noticeably fresh. The veggie tempura and chicken karaage were also perfectly crispy, and you could tell the oil was fresh. The private room also includes free karaoke, which was such a fun bonus. My coworkers and I had a great time singing a few songs together after dinner. Dragon Horse is an excellent choice for larger groups. We will definitely be back!

Did not enjoy the udon. The broth was too fishy and the noodles too thick with a rubbery consistency..
