About this place
One of Honoji Ebisu’s charms is how the meal changes with the time of day: set meals at lunch give way to small plates in the evening.
For lunch, one diner praised the tender pork in the ginger pork loin set meal, along with its side dishes and chicken soup containing chicken, burdock, carrot and konnyaku. The hamburger steak set meal is available with either a Japanese-style sauce or demi-glace, and has also been noted as coming with a small side dish and miso soup. There are set meals to compare when you want a substantial midday meal. One report mentions that the choice was limited on a late-afternoon visit, so an earlier lunch may offer more options. Weekday lunch hours are 11:30 to 14:30.
In the evening, the menu ranges from grilled gyoza and skewers to fried dishes and stews. A group of diners mentioned enjoying Caesar salad topped with grilled cheese, cream croquettes, a Japanese-style lotus-root pizza, chikuwa fish cake fried in seaweed batter and grilled shishamo. For something to nibble on with a drink, stewed dishes such as beef offal with tofu or pork and garlic chives with tofu are also options. Another reported dinner paired beef offal stew served bubbling hot in a pot with a generously portioned simmered tuna collar.
Japanese sake suits a fuller evening meal, while Sapporo Black Label or a sour cocktail can make a lighter drink. The restaurant has both table and counter seating for dining in.
