I have eaten there before, a long time ago, and I can't believe the poor reviews.

There were several statements about the poor quality of the food, the service and the hygeine.
So, armed with my bias, I went to Hon's today for lunch and I am happy to report I am 1 satisfied customer. I had the Wor Won Ton soup (ironically, the spelling on the menu, Won Ton, is different than the restaurant name, ie. Wun-Tun,). It is a well balanced dish with won ton, bbq pork and small bok choy.
It was filling and the price was reasonable. I would return there again.
One staff seated me promptly, and another quickly got me some tea. Another took my order. For the type of restaurant that Hon's is, the service is appropriate. It is a busy Hong Kong style type soup and noodle house and the staff need to be fast and efficient. I didn't find any rudeness at all.

The washroom cleanliness was o.k. Certainly it gets a passing grade. I think the negative reviewers don't understand that it is a fast food environment and not a fine-dining venue.
food 4 stars
service 4 stars
value 4 stars
ambience 4 stars
Overall rating ... 4 stars
My grading of this eatery is... a Passing grade and then some: %80
