We ordered the Atto Sushi 9 set, Seared 9 set, Sashimi set, Sushi Pizza, and Chicken Karaage…read more Everything was great! The fish tasted super fresh, my personal favourite being the Escolar and the Tuna. The sushi pizza was also really delicious; the rice was fluffy, and not stiff or tough like at other places I've had them at. I'd also recommend ordering the karaage. It was super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, a pleasant surprise on our end! Everything came out quickly, and the service was just as great. Our server was so kind and checked in to make sure we always had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Botan Ebi Spot Prawn Scallop Saba Mackerel Suzuki Seabass Kurodai Japanese Black Porgy(seabream) Kanpachi Amberjack Hiramasa Shake salmon Maguro Tuna Ottoro Tuna Belly Very fun to have 10 different fish/seafood to try. Basically it was like #omakase for two people in an inexpensive way($90 plus tax) with bonus of tons of rolls. Sushi was nicely dressed and did not really need to dunk in soy sauce, only thing was for my taste rice( shari) was too wet l (was not mushy though). I appreciated everything on this platter was actually edible. I really dislike green fake plastic leaf thingy. I ate chrysanthemum

Love the build your own platter concept of this place. Basically, Ako allows you to mix and match…read morethe sushi, sashimi and maki you're craving and charges based on the number of different items you get. Mega bonus points for this! After looking over all the options, I chose salmon sashimi, octopus sashimi, and bbq eel sushi. Quality was pretty good, cuts were thick, and the value was insane! Place is takeout. People are super friendly. Prices are amazing based on the quantity you get. Definitely recommend this place if you want to pick and choose good sushi without breaking the bank.

A few weeks ago, we noticed this spot in our neighbourhood and thought it was new (it wasn't) but…read morewe were intrigued by the "build your own platter" option! Other platters are often "you get what you get" but the idea that we wouldn't be stuck with surf clam or cucumber rolls was very enticing to us. Mother's Day was a great reason to order sushi and maaaaan were we not disappointed! Ordering online seemed like they were rammed with orders since it requested a later pick up time. When my husband showed up, he noted that it was a two person show... and they clearly were making sure they didn't overwhelm themselves with orders. It goes to show they care about their food/quality and we were so grateful! The rice was cooked well and the ratio of rice to fish/yums was great! Our only complaint was that we wish the order form would tell us how many pieces were in each "order" but other than that we were very pleased with the quality of the sushi and the freshness of the fish. We finally have a go-to sushi spot nearby that we won't hesitate to order from again (and again and again!)

Back again and better than ever…read more Back again to this excellent restaurant and it seems to have only gotten better. Service was exquisite with japanese fine dining precision and friendliness. This time around we added a sake pairing which was lovely and generous. We learned that Kei Hashimoto himself selects and brings back the sake from his trips to Japan. Location is beautifully appointed with diners each having their own discrete rooms. You don't even get to see the other diners and the environment feels private. The meal was exceptional. Pictures and menu attached. We liked the wagyu course so much we ordered another full round for each of us!

Not normally being a huge fan of Japanese cuisine, it took me a while to get around to visiting…read morethis place. Now that I have though, it's become a regular stop. I've only ever been here for lunch, and I've only eaten 5 or 6 different dishes because I'm always eating off the lunch special menu. This isn't a bad thing though. Every meal I've had has been great, and I feel no need to venture outside of that zone for now! The first thing I note about their lunches is they're just plain inexpensive. Most are about $10 and come with two small soups (one miso and another one that they don't mention on the menu but comes with most of the meals and is spectacular), a small salad, noodles, a bit of fruit, rice, and a main. Along with chicken and beef dishes, they also have a noodle soup (which is delicious) as well as a sushi dish on the menu (which I'll never try, but I've heard is great), so there's something for everyone. Service is almost always polite and fast, and although the place is a bit older in appearance, it's well take care of and inviting. I'm definitely looking forward to many more meals here!

This cozy sushi restaurant has all the typical sushi restaurant staples (sushi rolls, nigiri sushi,…read moresashimi, donburis (rice bowls), udon noodles, and a few Korean dishes such as bibimbap (the owners are Korean). There was no parking right outside of the restaurant (main road), but you could park on the side residential streets or in a large plaza nearby (about 10 minutes walk). The first thing we noticed when we walked in was the plethora of kids' drawings plastered all over the front door, walls, and the interior of the restaurant. Every table had a set of crayons and paper that you could use to draw. It seemed very family and kids-friendly. The interior was small, cozy, and had a very homey vibe. We were seated in a booth which added to the coziness feeling. Food came out relatively quickly, and everything was decent. Unagi Don came with a good amount of unagi and avocado slices, on top of a heap of rice. Kaizen Don was excellent - it came with thick slices of sashimi (salmon, tuna, shrimps, and imitation crab). Every donburi (rice bowl) came with house green salad and miso soup. We chose to add on a few extra green salads. Sushi rolls that we ordered as a group all came on one long wooden board - perfect for sharing. I wish the asparagus in the asparagus roll wasn't battered and deep-fried (tempura style). My favourite sushi roll was the El Dorado Roll (without rice - salmon, tuna, cooked shrimp, imitation crab, cucumber, and avocado wrapped in cucumber which added extra crunch). Service was efficient, nice, and friendly.

Definitely recommend! The jiro ramen was also delicious. I'm a huge fan of bean sprouts so this was my personal favourite. Service was friendly and our food came out quickly! Lots of space for dining in and has booth seating.

Located on Danforth near Pape station is this haven for delicious ramen!…read more I dropped by during the third anniversary promotion with $9.99 ramen, where they offered some different varieties at this promotional price. Some nice queuing and ordering system via qr code using Snappy. I tried the black garlic ramen, which seems like the original but with black garlic oil. Lots of customizations available for broth richness, noodle type, amount of toppings, etc. I had it at regular strength and all regular toppings with thick noodles. Broth was very rich in flavour but not too salty, and the veggies help to cut that down as well. I enjoyed the garlic paste as that went well with everything with a nice kick. The meat is like a brisket with thick cuts mixed in with some different sized pieces. I enjoyed the Jiro style as I love all the different textures you can get with all the toppings. The portion was very good as well, definitely filling! Will try out the other flavours sometime!

Update. I started to appreciate this restaurant a bit more…read more As before, I don't recommend it for AYCE. But, otherwise, it's a nice place for getting some sushi. - We come here often with my son when we are in the area. A meal for two is not much more expensive than McDonald's, but much healthier. The waiters are polite and nice. The atmosphere is modest, yet spacious and cozy.

Ordered online for takeout, so can only review the food as we did not dine in…read more Food was good, good selection of raw fish and cooked dishes. They do not have torched pressed sushi, unfortunately. The mixed veggies was almost all bell peppers, with some onions, mushrooms, and zucchini added in. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten it, as no one in my family likes bell peppers. The beef skewer seemed to be breaded and then sauced, it was kind of mid. The noodle, rice, kalbi, and sushi were great.

There were three large pork chops that were crispy and fresh, and came with some rice, cabbage and soup. The pork was cooked well though I found the breading to be a bit thick in some spots.

Uhh don't sleep on this food mart/small take-out restaurant!…read more I got to try the miso salmon bento box which came with "daily banchan" which today included cucumbers, a sort of spinach? or leafy green, a few slices of hard boiled egg, pickled cabbage and this potato(?) tempura on a bed of rice. The miso salmon was nice and not too dry with a delicious miso sauce on top. I felt the bento box was balanced and I enjoyed everything. It also came with a miso soup and using that to wash down the meal was great. Hanamaru also has a lot of Korean and Japanese snacks and goodies for sale!

My wife and I have been here a couple of times now and got: - Beef bulgogi bento: Beautifully presented, really tasty, great sides. The beef was tender and properly sweet. Only quibble was we would have wanted more meat. - Unagi bento: Generous serving of eel, good grill and sauce. And as with the other bento, great sides and presentation. - Torched salmon dragon roll: Heavy and packed, pretty tasty, though would have liked the salmon a bit more torched. - Shrimp tempura: Standard and pretty good. Overall, the bentos are easily the standouts. That said, Hanamaru's other offerings are pretty good too. We'll definitely be back to try their other stuff.
