It was one of the first wonton noodle restaurants in Vancouver. It started operation on Main St in 1972 with a limited menu. Business, however, was good. As a matter of fact, better than good. Not sure of its operating hours but I do know they close at 7PM daily and all day on Sunday.
It now has 5 locations. This photo was taken at the New Westminster store. I would avoid this location whenever possible. Its clientele is predominately Caucasian but the service is Hong Kong fast food style. Generally the chopsticks, spoons, saucers, and bowls are wet. Remember to check the table to make sure it is properly wiped. This is not the worst of the group. I think the Richmond location is worse. The Coquitlam location is the best managed.
The menu is basically the same throughout but the servings may vary. Speaking of menu they have "steamed" pot stickers which immediately classifies it as steamed dumplings. By the way their pot stickers are untraditional with very little filling and more carrots and peas than pork. Another untraditional touch is the vinegar that accompany the pot stickers has no shredded ginger. A very major strike in my book.

Hon's is an intitution in Vancouver. And, really, the best one is on Keefer st. in Chinatown. This is followed by the Richomon location. If things are a little less than spotless, the staff a little less than friendly, well. . .that is chinatown. . .
