Hondo Sushi in Bath and North East Somerset

Today was my 12th birthday and I chose my fav restaurant to have a nice meal with my people.Dissapointed. First of all,the food Is good quality,however, our orders were practically ignored and half of the food wasn't delivered after several reminders and had to be cancelled,this included two simple glasses of water that takes 10 seconds to make. Specific requests we asked aswell were also ignored and for the slightly fussier side of us ,made the food Inedible. Asked for bubble tea, only had 1/4 flavours in stock and in which the bubbles were undercooked. To top it off, the staff made up invalid excuses that were clearly impractical. Used to be my fav place to be.Really disappointed and my birthday was quickly turned to ash by this horrible meal.

Awful experience here today. Very poor service. Disappointing as we went for a family celebration as a treat and were horribly let down. Will not be returning.

Food is good, we ordered water didn't get it after 30 minutes, half of our food wasn't ordered and they plainly forgot, bubbles in bubble tea were undercooked , they took half the orders wrong then, they blatantly made up invalid excuses that were clearly made up. This used to be my fav restaurant, now it's my worst. Serious changes needed.

Great experience with delicious and hot food. Very filling with excellent portion sizes.

A very good Asian food restaurant with variety. We ordered Miso Ramen and different sushi and everything was very good. Quality and price accordingly. Highly recommended

We had an average lunch. It was all ok but really not that special... which was a bit disappointing.

Amazing food, reasonably priced and plentiful, great service and really nice waiters we had the sashimi bento it was delicious and you got enough food for a reasonable meal, great find

Authentic sushi and bento boxes. Functional decor and atmosphere

Really nice food and service is brilliant. Will definitely be returning

Food was decent but service was a little slow.

Delicious food. Wide choice. Friendly service. We loved it. Our second but not last visit!

food here is good but the mango juice was super small for 3.8£

Sushi was incredible here. Very reasonably priced, great speedy service, tasty Japanese beer. I had the kimchi pork bento and it’s the best bento box I’ve had in England, so filling, complete and tasty af. Serious 10/10 place this. Looks a lot better than the photos, they have plenty of seating. The staff are really lovely.

Super good Asian restaurant in Bath. Highly recommended!

This meal was awful. We had to ask for everything, including chop sticks and glasses for our drinks. The food was tasteless and took a long time to arrive even though it wasn’t busy. The servers were unprofessional and were eating in front of everyone whilst there were jobs to be done. We will not be returning to this restaurant, very disappointing.

Not bad. There's room for improvement. We didn't try the sushi although the tables next to us seemed to enjoy it.

Good food and good service however, the ramen noodles were overcooked. But overall so worth it.

Soo good absolutely worth it the portions are quite big as well

Order the tempura box. The prawn wasn’t great and some of the vegetables were undercooked.

Me encanta este lugar y he estado aquí varias veces. El sushi es delicioso. He probado muchos platos, incluyendo el rollo de dragón picante, el rollo de salmón wakame y las bolas de pulpo fritas y nunca he probado nada que fuera delicioso. Los platos salieron en diferentes momentos, pero todavía disfruté mucho. Los platos también están muy bien presentados

Not a real Japanese restaurant. Messy table setup. Crockery and cutlery clustered all over the table and not properly cleaned. Dishes served slowly in chaotic order. Smelly washrooms. Waitresses happened to be all Chinese, not one Japanese. It was the most unbelievable seeing one of the waitresses unsealed a new bottle of soy sauce with her teeth and served it to other clients. The same waitress first came with 2 glasses of bubble tea that we ordered in different favours. When we asked her which one is which, she said "I don't know, please try out on your own." The milk tea tasted awful. My friends ordered chirashi don. The size of the bowls were normal, but the portion of rice was surprizingly small that just filled 1/3 of the bowls. Sashimi was served warm. I ordered aburi salmon don that came very late after my friends had all finished their meal. The portion was normal but the sauce tasted horrible. I hardly swallowed half of it after putting lots of wasabi and soy sauce to cover the original taste. Not a single picture was taken as the food did not look very nice. The best part was the beer which was a real sapporo. The day trip to Bath was a pleasant one, except the dinner.

The food was great and came out quickly!

Wonderful sushi! Very fresh and prepared to a high standard. Rather more expensive but price/performance is right. At first glance you wouldn't expect it.

Tuna maki’s doesn’t look fresh, they did not brink our drinking order.

Food was amazing, service was perfect, highly recommended

We’ve been twice now and loved it both times. The Korean Bibimbap is awesome (as in the video) - so much so that we’ve had it both times along with the Octopus Balls (Takoyaki). Would definitely recommend. The service is great, the atmosphere is good (nothing special), and reasonably priced at about £13 for the bibimbap

Popped in for prawn tempura, maki & salmon ebiko. The freshness of the dishes was impressive.

Excellent value for money, good menu choices

Awesome food, chill atmosphere, good prices. Try the grilled aubergine!

Always great. We visit this place at least once a month and it's been so great!

Great sushi and ramen, and the Don buri salmon was very good. Good prices too

I’d like to share a review today about my experience in this restaurant, me and my dad went yesterday because we went few weeks prior and really enjoyed the food. However this visit was the worst, I’m gluten free and luckily this place offers gluten free so I ordered exactly what I ordered before ‘chicken fried noodles with chilli’ however when it came I noticed they used wheat noodles, the young waitress gave it to me and I said ‘those noodles aren’t gluten free’ which she replied ‘yes they should be’ I said ‘they are definitely not’ she then went back to go to the chef to have them re-made for me and came back to apologise. At this point I’m waiting a good 10 minutes and dad has almost finished his food so we are not going to end up eating together at this rate…..I went up to the till where she and this other man who worked there was standing and asked for some sort of discount due to the circumstance and she she said yes I’ll give you 30% so I thought that was fair even though I was still very cross with the situation. She then finally brings over my food however no chilli in there, she then says ‘I’ll go get the chilli oil and you can mix it in yourself’ um ok shall I just go to the kitchen put a chefs hat on and cook my own meal considering your incapable of cooking my meal at all?! At this point I was even more angry, anyway I ate it all up after adding the chilli oil myself something I asked them to do! She comes over with the bill, I didn’t notice a much of difference on the bill, I thought she was giving me 30% off! So I asked have you gave me the 30% and she said yes on your meal which was like £3.50 off or something so I basically said only 30% off my meal? I thought it was on the whole bill considering the circumstance so she went to go speak to her boss and she came back saying no I can’t do anything more….At this point my back was up and I said to her you could of made me seriously ill if I ate that meal I deserve more, she went to go get her boss so I could speak to him but in the end didn’t even turn up with him and said yes we can do 30% off the whole bill. This service was absolutely shocking, the fact I get given wheat noodles and I can’t eat gluten but then when I challenge her on it she says no they are gluten free, imagine if I’d ate them another thing is not eating same time with my dad, he’d pretty much finished when mine came out, another thing is me having to add my own chilli oil, another thing just adding 30% on my meal not on the whole bill considering how shocking the service was! I will never be coming here again, I am so dissatisfied! Train your staff to know what food is, if someone is working in hospitality they should understand allergies! You’ll have someone dead there if your not careful!!!

Food tastes great. Not enough staffs on weekend. Slow services

Dinner for four and a great spread of options. Over-ordered a bit which was no bad thing as everything was delicious. The beef, sushi, tempura, miso soup, eel were all great. Quick and friendly service. Not the plushest place but wholly authentic. Highly recommend.

Food was good, very tasty, and freshly cooked. Food is generous, if you have a big appetite you may need to order Xtra. Not too expensive, but a meal for any budget. Drinks are priced similarly to other eating places. Menu added to help with understanding prices. Plenty of space, tables space between others generous. Accessibility for all patrons. Will return if in Bath Location good, not noisy from traffic. The staff serving were happy and friendly. Helpful in their own way.

Food was absolutely lovely and well presented, staff were lovely and very helpful. It was very quiet as we came before the dinner rush so service was very quick.

Some of the best sushi I've ever tasted! I went for the vegan set option and it was so fresh and delicious. Fast and friendly service too.

Delicious authentic Asian food. Nice and big portions.

Tidy place with three very friendly girls tending to it. The menu selection is very broad, the dishes are authentic and execution is adequate for the price.

yeah delicious food, been here a few times now and will be back

OK, but it could do better. Service wasn't great although staff were nice. We had gyoza and soft shell crab, which were good. My main arrived, but then my husband's ramen didn't. We had to ask where it was. My husband said my ramen was a lot better than theres. My main was OK. We asked for the bill and she forgot it so had to ask again.

Perfect bento boxes, nice music, lovely staff 👌 Hope we will be able to come back soon

Great sushi, friendly staff, good service. Thank you!

Very nice food. I had a sashimi set, a temaki and ikura. All was very fresh. Our daughter enjoyed her tempura and salmon maki. Very nice and kind service

We were looking for a quick, light meal in the central area. This restaurant had exactly what we wanted and we happily ate our way through a large 'boat' of very fresh sashimi with a couple of other dishes. The staff couldn't have been friendlier, their smiles enhanced our evening. If I'm being picky the tempura batter was slightly on the heavy side but otherwise no complaints at all.

Whilst visiting bath to take a freind to hospital, i popped in for a quick lunch on my own. Was greeted warmly by the young man on front of house and was served the most delicious and fresh sashimi and tempura soft shell crab. I will most definitely be back.

Popped in for a quick lunch and had a very enjoyable experience. Great food and staff and excellent sushi! Highly recommend

Impeccable food and lovely service! Definitely again!!!!!

Came here twice within 2 weeks :-) Love their prawn tempuras - fresh prawns and the batter was good. Came out hot, and the batter crispy! Had a couple of rolls, sushi and gunkan and were very fresh. Food presentation was good, clean and pretty refined for a sushi joint, in Bath ;-) Service is friendly too. Will definitely return when back in summer! BTW, for those who want to purchase Asian groceries, there is an Asian grocer (Chinese supermarket) next to them too. Good variety!

Wonderful, traditional sushi and bao, lovely little restaurant, although a bit drafty.

Always reliable simple space with excellent food. Platters, bento boxes etc; everything is great. They open at 12.00 and on a Saturday the tables fill up quickly. Will keep coming back!

One of the nicest sushi restaurants I've visited. Excellent and delicious.

It didn't taste or look like Japanese food. Poor quality overall and really pricey

Laksa 72 was incredibly good and I would highly recommend to others

My wife and I dined here on our weekend to Bath. The ambiance was lovely and intimate and the food was delicious. After taking respite from the cold night air and warming ourselves with the miso soups we then enjoyed the soft shell crab and crunch tuna rolls. The service was friendly and quick and the food authentic, tasty and delicious. I would recommend. Thank you Hondo for a lovely evening .

Excellent sushi, friendly and efficient service, good value for money.

Sushi is unmatched in terms of value for money. When ordering a donburi, you receive miso soup, and a side salad which really balances out the flavours.

Be warned - the portions you receive of the high quality dishes can be a lot larger than expected! I've really enjoyed my last two visits to Hondo Sushi. Friendly staff, rapid service and lovely, lovely food. Quality ingredients definitely used and I will return time after time. £13 for an entire Salmon Bento Box? Much better value, larger, healthier and tastier than fast food.

Honestly the absolute best sushi restaurant in Bath.

Excellent service and food. The squid ring tempura was really tasty!

We ordered sushi, sashimi and pork katsu curry rice, food was amazing, but pork too dry and thin. We love sushi and sashimi, overall is good, highly recommended order sushi and sashimi!!

Everything we tried was excellent. I especially enjoyed the heavenly crispy tempura prawns and the 'crazy spicy salmon roll'. Highly recommended.

We have had some tasty food here in the past but last night's meal was very disappointing. The food was good although it arrived in a random order with the main courses before the starters. The service was extremely poor - the two waiting staff were enjoying chatting with each other rather than serving. We had to ask for our drinks after the food had arrived; then beers were brought in the bottles so we had to ask for glasses; then ask for our water. There were only about 8 other people in the restaurant so they should have had time for good service. It felt like they had not been trained at all. Sadly we won't return.

The seaweed was soft and the sushi rice was sticky

Decent Japanese food, enjoyed both the Prawn Tempura and Tonkatsu Ramen, fulfilled my japanese food craving. Very helpful and friendly staff. Quite expensive compared to other cities but everything in Bath is expensive.

VERY POOR SERVICE! WAITED FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR THEY DIDN'T EVEN PREPARE OUR FOOD. NOT RECOMMENDED!!

Delicious freshly made food. We were really impressed and have book marked for a future visit. We had a range of starters from soft shelled crab to spring rolls, gyoza and edamame beans. The sushi was extremely generous and delicious. Definitely a place to try.

Quality and tasty Japanese food in the heart of the town. Large offer of dishes, clear menu, kind service. Only atmosphere (particularly lighting) could be improved. Recommended

Bento boxes were fresh and a good price

Never tasted japanese cuisine so good.

Wish I could give a higher rating. Not only was the food amazing the service was on another level of brilliance. We went in the evening for dinner and there was only 1 waiter as someone had called in sick. This guy was in 10 different places at once! He did not forget anything and did not make anyone wait! We had better service from this one guy then most pubs manage with an army of staff! Will be back again and again!

I like the food and the atmosphere. Such a clean restaurant.

Great selection of sushi which was delicious and I loved the chicken karaage. Mouth wateringly delicious in fact. The servers are friendly and want to help but definitely do need training - they don't really seem to know what to do and when - but all are very nice! Go for the food - that's absolutely worth a visit.

Asian restaurant with a wide variety of very delicious dishes. The service is fast and friendly. Affordable price. Actually my score is 4.5.

Fantastic food, awesome service

The service was great the food was fantastic.

good pumpkin croquette. extremely reasonable price so good for students. came for sushi but definitely coming back for more sizable hot food soon.

Booked a last minute dinner and we are glad we did. Delicious, authentic Japanese food, lots of menu options and service was great.

Pretty good and legitimate Japanese food! Environment is also good, service isso fast and friendly. Portions are adequate. Vegetarian options available. Don’t forget to look at the Bento Box at the end of the menu! Good cost benefit!

This was my first experience of a Japanese restaurant and it was great! The staff were so friendly, the food was great and the place was very nice. Am excited to go again

I’ve been here so many times and the food and quality of service is always outstanding. I’ve taken so many people here and they’ve loved it! I especially recommend the donburis :)

Booked in for 6:30pm. Arrived on time and get told at the door there wasn’t a table for us. Suddenly this was all a mix-up and there was a table. We sat down with menus for 25 minutes before our order was taken. Food took an hour and we were short one main course for almost 10 minutes. Food was nice but didn’t live up to the wait. Had to chase again to pay the bill. Our food wasn’t cleared from the table after we finished. No one asked if we wanted more drinks. Especially as our glasses were empty 30 minutes into our wait. There were numerous other issues with waiting times at other tables and numerous mix ups. It really was a shame.

Fairly reasonable food, paper table cloths, overall acceptable but not great value for money.

Food okay, not bad .... but I'm not happy the services!! this restaurant look like family business. kids playing with staff, staff talking too lound , talking and laughing and didint look after customers. Give me warm and silent diner pls, I didint enjoy it's !!

Great quality asian food, extremely quick and friendly service. Although it was busy, barely had to wait for food to come out. Lots of seating and great variety for food. Softshell crab tempura and sweet potato croquettes were incredible. Salmon bento was great too. Would definitely recommend going!

The food was incredibly good and the staff very nice! There are many different veggie options. I loved the Tofu Katsu Curry so we decided to come back the following day. I took the Bento box and it was actually the best one i ever had. Very very recommendable!! I will come back for sure if i am in Bath again.

It’s a nice place. Really great food. Greatly recommended.

The food was incredible, we went there to eat ramen and they Tasted really good, so we came back on the following day and I tried the Bibimbap which was great too. Literally the ramen were ones of the best i've ever had.

Quick service and food is amazing

I visited Hondo quite regularly for a quick meal. Highly recommended this restaurant if you want a fresh & delicious Japanese food with great selection at an affordable price. I had Salmon Donburi served with Miso Soup and Salad all for £12.80. Trust me, you can’t find this price anywhere in Bath! Only 10-15 mins walk from the Bath Bus Station. Must try!

Amazing fresh sushi, very affordable. Would definitely visit again.

Food and service excellent, although was warm evening and aircon not working, so a little on the warm side. But food made up for it

It might be okay for sushi but it's very far from decent Japanese cuisine otherwise, and I've lived in Toyko for 10 years. We wanted a hot bowl of ramen and got mislead by the reviews of the Tonkotsu ramen (the staff calls it TonkAtsu, which already is a warning sign). It wasn't just bad, it was absolutely inedible - stock powder diluted in milk with some bacon on the side, unwashed clumped together mushy noodles and canned menma from the last century. All this for £13-15 per bowl, absolute disgrace. The agedashi tofu was nice and crispy but the broth part incredibly salty (basically just soy sauce) and the miso aubergine had an overly sweet glaze. The whole restaurant smelled like Chinese food which is understandable given it is a Chinese place attempting to serve Japanese food. Judging by the tofu, I'd say go for their tempura items (difficult to mess frying things up) and probably the sushi is alright, at least it was nicely presented at the tables around us. They also have safe touristy things like packaged frozen gyoza and spring rolls. Just don't go for the other Japanese items on the menu if you're used to an authentic Japanese taste. We couldn't even drink the tap water as it looked murky, so certainly unfiltered, and the bottle wasn't properly washed. Finally, the hallways leading to the bathrooms were incredibly sticky and the whole place just needs a deep clean.

First time going out to eat sushi at a restaurant and it did not disappoint, was greeted really nicely the customer service was on point, you get the food at different times so just wait until everything gets there before eating with friends tho I’m sure you would be able to ask for everything at the same time The presentation was immaculate I will say eating raw fish for the first time was quite strange I recommend if you haven’t eaten raw fish before be prepared for a whole different experience and texture sea bass is the slimiest haha It was amazing other than that and I’m sure if you come here frequently you will get used to eating raw fish

I'm Japanese, It was Good! TERIYAKI was just like the real one笑

Great place to try authentic food. Staff lovely and attentive, great food. Wi definitely visit again!

Very nice service and the taste is so amazing.. would love to come again 🥳🥳

Really nice food. We had bento boxes which were great value fie money. Freshly fried tempura, delicious teriyaki and fresh sushi. The team was super welcoming and helpful with their service and recommendations. Thank you. 🤗🤗

The food was delicious if you enjoy Japanese cousins. The service was excellent, we'll definitely return again when, I come for business in Bath UK.
