When my sister and I visit Toronto, we typically crave some Asian food, and even though I do not…read moreenjoy sushi (but my sister does), Hamaru Sushi has a bunch of different dishes and options that are not sushi or seafood. We have only been to Hamaru Sushi a few times, but it's in a convenient location (near the hotel where we stay), has great customer service, and tasty food. I certainly recommend Hamaru Sushi to others craving good Asian food (including sushi, of course). On each of our visits to Hamaru Sushi, we have ben seated in a small enclosed area (instead of in the general seating when you first walk into the restaurant. There is always a bottle of hand sanitizer and soy sauce waiting for you on the table. The decor feels authentic, and the servers always pay us plenty of attention to ensure we are having a positive experience. I typically order a kitchen set of teriyaki chicken which comes with pan fried mixed vegetables, miso soup, house salad, and steamed rice. My sister will typically order something similar that also includes some sushi as well. The chicken is so tender and with the teriyaki sauce and the vegetables, it's a healthy yet delicious meal. "Hamaru" meaning addictive in Japanese, which makes sense as we really enjoy this restaurant. It is open daily from 11:30 AM to 9:30 PM with last call at 9 PM. They accept online orders via Uber Eats for delivery and also prepare pre-orders for pick-up. They also offer catering. With an exception of Fridays and Saturdays, you can call them to make a reservation. If you go to their website (https://www.hamarusushi.com), you can find their menu, place an online order, and read about Hamaru Sushi in the news. We look forward to returning to Hamaru Sushi on a future visit to Toronto!

The menu was very extensive, almost overwhelming. We started off by sharing the ChapChae noodles. I thought it was pretty good, an elevated take on the classic. Although the portion size was quite small for the price $11.95 I landed on the Bulogi Beef Combination meal for myself, which was like a bento box served in individual plates. Although the price was on the higher end, i thought it was the best value on the menu. It came with soup, salad. 5pc sushi, bulogogi beef, tempura shrimps and veggies (slightly over). There was alot of variety and I appreciated the individual plates. Its a good spot if you are looking for a decent Japense/Korean food *3.5

The decor was so cute, feels like you are actually in a little spot in Japan. If I had to say anything negative it's that the rolls are a little too big, hard to chew it all in one go.

There is something lacking in Sushi Bar's sushi.... I love the deco, the ambiance, the service (it…read morewas lacking in the beginning, but after I complained then all good from then on), the quantity, but the quality of the food was very disappointing! Sushi Dinner 1 ($17.95) - 9 pieces of nigiri and a choice of either Spicy Tuna/Salmon - the fish was not too fresh...and was slice really thin and each sushi made with huge ball of rice - no wasabi at all in any sushi... I know some Japanese restaurant will ask if you prefer not to (Mikado does that) but Sushi Bar is one of the first one that I been to that does not put any wasabi inside. - the Tuna Spicy roll was just so so.. the spiciness is really from the spicy mayo on top... - The shari rice was not made properly, as I notice it really lack the taste of rice vinegar... I do like the nice touch that my meal came with a lot of appetizers: soup with tempura bits and noodle, edamane, pickled bean sprouts and teriyaki tofu. And an ice cream to finish off... Those Japanese screens does provide some privacy.. but if you need the attention of the wait staffs.. you really have to scream and wave them down... As Sushi Bar is right across from Jilly's, I don't feel too safe and comfortable coming here after dark.....

I recently had dinner with a friend at their Ajax location and we may have over-indulged, but it was hard to resist all the goodness featured on their menu. As we dined, their robot passed our table several times, delivering dishes to other tables, including things we could/should have ordered. It all looked so good! Our over-indulgence included too many dishes to mention but they included sushi, sashimi, udon, tempura, maki, dim sum, and much more. Of course, we had to have some desserts - fried bananas, puddings, ice cream, and more! We were so stuffed, and happy. It was an excellent meal, with delicious food, and excellent service!

Dine in at this restaurant, spend at least $50 on your meal, and get a $10 voucher off your bill till May 9, 2026. - This eatery has an all-you-can-eat ice cream bar! This past Monday evening, I broke out of the house to have a dinner feast with a friend. We ordered a lot off the menu, guilty of eating with our eyes. I used to drop by this eatery maybe fifteen years ago fairly often. It was nice to return. I had no problem finding a parking spot fairly close to the main entrance. I backed into a spot and walked into the restaurant. We got these drinks: - Sapporo draft 20 oz - Diet Coke Refills on pop are free. I certainly took advantage of it! So refreshing. We ordered these goodies: - Garden salad - Gyoza (dumpling) (2 pcs) - Beef skewer (1 pc) - Fried calamari (2 pcs) - Pork cutlet - Enoki beef roll (2 pcs) - Yakitori (chicken) (1 pc) - Negimayaki (beef) (2 pcs) - Squid tempura (5 pc) - Crab tempura (1 pc) - Siu mai (2 pc) - Thai chicken coconut curry - Spicy California roll (6 pcs) - Mushroom tempura (2 pcs) - Coconut shrimp (1 pc) - Chicken with bao bun (1 pc) - Har gow (2 pc) - Chicken with mushroom - Beef udon - Chicken teriyaki - Beef with broccoli - Dynamite handroll (1 pc) - Crab pizza (4 pcs) - Spicy Crab handroll (1 pc) - Spicy crab on chip (1 pc) - Grilled butterfish sushi (1 pc) - Crab sushi (1 pc) - Beef short ribs (3 pcs) - Beef steak Delicious food! I could rave for hours on how yummy everything was. I will spare you! Highlights: - This place does tempura well. Crispy, without the oiliness. - The Thai chicken coconut curry was excellent. It had a bit of heat and I dipped everything in that amazing coconut curry. - Any protein on a skewer will not disappoint. - Chicken and mushrooms was a comforting dish. - The two hand rolls were excellent! There was only one dish that wasn't great. It was the beef steak that was more on the chewy side. There's something for everyone at this eatery. I thought that I couldn't shovel any dessert after our feast. I saw the all-you-can-eat ice cream bar and my stomach ignored now full it felt. I'd return for the desserts alone. We enjoyed these desserts: - Fried bananas (2 x 2 pcs) - Ice cream (orange, cotton candy, cookies and cream) - Tiramisu cake - Mini macaroon - Coconut pudding - Mango pudding - Creamsicle pudding The ice cream bar is the perfect end to your meal. My friend said to put the fried bananas in with the ice cream, which tastes like a banana split. He was right! This place has a couple of sushi robots. One had a cat face, which brought a birthday dessert to someone celebrating that evening. The other one was shorter and didn't have any face on it. I used the washroom before I left. The circular mirror with flowers on the counter were nice touches. I had a great time. It was nice returning for a fabulous dinner with great company. (150)
