This restaurant is located right at Finch and Yonge Street. It was my first time coming here to meet some friends and it was better than I expected. I loved the menu and how it's animated with cartoons. And I love the layout and setup of the seating arrangements. The ambiance is a little grungy. It's definitely dark inside, hence the photo quality LOL. The service was great but I found that the sushi could have been a lot better. The drink was tasty. read more

This Izakaya spot has been operating in North York for 12 years and it's a shame that I just recently discovered it. The place is slightly lit creating a very intimate and cozy mood for a date or chilling with friends. The food was amazing and the presentation was immaculate! Out of all our orders, my favorites were the wings (perfectly seasoned and came with a magical sauce), uni pasta (the sauce was captivating and flavorful) and the sweet potato (a great balance to everything). Their drinks are worth-trying! The Orange was on the sweeter side to my liking and the Chu-hi was not my favorite but my friend liked it. What we got: Tsukune Skewers (chicken and pork meatballs) Maple Sweet Potato Seabream Sashimi Uni Pasta Hashi Wings Fresh Lemon Chu-hi Cassis Orange Cocktail read more

Lots of seating! Clean and perfectly arranged seats so that your party feels like they have a private space. The seaweed cucumber was delicious! Only $6 - a cold side dish of cucumber with furikake seasoning. The coconut shrimp comes in 6 pieces, was pleasantly surprised that the shrimp was fresh and coconut wasn't overpowering. My two favourites of the night. The uni pasta was yummy but I didn't taste the uni, so not worth the price in my opinion. Whereas the potato salad wasn't expensive, but felt just like a Costco potato salad with a side of saltine crackers. Tastes good but not what I expected. It was also a warm dish but was categorized as a cold dish. Also got a tequila Sunrise with mango juice. Not bad, but found it inconsistent. My friends had more juice and mine had more alcohol. Overall, given the friendly and quick service, down to earth low-key atmosphere, and the 2 dishes I enjoyed, I'd return. read more

A great cozy spot for late night drinks and eats! Swung by here around 9-10pm with a group of 8 and was seated immediately. They had a lot of open tables. It's a Japanese izakaya/ bar so food and drinks are pretty standard here. We got the takowasabi, tuna tartar, fries (can't go wrong with these), pork jowl, all to share with the table. Great nibbling items while having a few drinks with friends. You can get full bottles of soju here, pitchers of beer or cocktails. I opted for the yuzu slushy which tasted so good and sweet, just the way I liked it. Can't really taste the alcohol at al. It's quite dark inside so make sure to ask for a table lamp. We noticed that other tables had one but ours didn't, and the lamp really made a difference in being able to see the food, drinks and one another. Come for some late night drinks or snacks if you're in the area. A great option. read more

A great place to go with friends! The vibes of this izakaya is also really nice, and good service! I've tried a couple things from their menu (as seen in the pictures). My favourites have to be the yaki mentaiko, yukke, and bulgogi tacos. I like the combination of the different ingredients in the yaki mentaiko dish. Yukke is the beef tartare - it is so delicious, the sweet Asian pear and beef combination is a must try! The bulgogi tacos tasted so fresh and the portions are pretty big. read more

I went their with my friend for a little birthday dinner on a Friday night (October 20th, 2023). The experience was mediocre to "I won't be going back". NOTE: I have been to several Izakayas in Toronto and can therfore compare some dishes. SERVICE: It was a busy night and it seemed the waitresses were understaffed so waiting time was pretty long. FOOD: I had a salmon sushi roll, a tiny piece of pork belly and a tiny piece of grilled or seared black cod. The pork should have been softer. It should melt on your tongue but it didn't. I needed to take one chop stick into each hand and pick the piece apart. The salmon roll was way too big. It didn't fit in my mouth so I tried to bite it in half and that caused a disaster. That thing fell apart of course. Everyone who has tried to do this knows what I mean. The black cod was tender but oh lord that tiny piece had many bones in it! It felt as if it had more bones than the entire fish. That thing cost $18 and I was constantly pulling bones out of my mouth (see picture). That is not supposed to be like that. Best thing comes last. When I told the waitress about the bones and that the fish wasn't enjoyable she just said okay, smiled and took off. That was a first time experience for me but because it's Toronto nothing really surprises me here anymore. Expensive low quality food wherever you go. RESULT: The prices were fairly high considering it's not a luxurious restaurant and the food is not even that great (some dishes are okay though). Mediocre food, lame service, high prices. This is not a good combination and I won't go back. Cheers read more

There's a special that if you order a pitcher of beer, customer can get a certain item of food 50% off. So I ordered a pitcher of Asahi and a karage and a pork belly to share with three others. The pitcher of beer came first with a glass of snacks. The karage was amazing. They were cut in bite size. I especially liked the sauce that came with the karage because it consisted of a Yuzu flavour. There were plenty of chicken karage pieces in an order. I was able to get 50% for this karage because I had ordered a pitcher of beer. I also ordered a pork belly. It looked so elegant and was garnished with a leaf on top. It was seated in mashed potatoes and the sauce. It tasted sweet. Not the usual taste I used to have. The pork belly had layers of fats and meat and it was not too fat or greasy. It was cooked nicely and it was presented elegantly. read more

My first patio experience this year was at Hashi! I love how they take reservations so we don't need to stand around waiting for a table on a Friday night. I went as a small party of 3 at prime dinner time and we got a nice table outside. The waitresses were attentive and the food was great! The only bummer was the limit their sake flight to one flight per table. We were hoping to order a flight each so we get to sample their flavoured sake since they're the size of a shot only. We ended up ordering one flight and had to take a sip and rotate the flavours. We did ended up other drinks since one flight isn't enough for 3 people on a Friday night! read more

don't now what's so special about hashi besides that typicak izakaya hangout spot with loud music and dim lighting. Would pass on the food, the tartare is average and the roe is not fresh. Not pictured, the Oden soup is also average and you could make it better with a frozen h mart pack read more

I came here for dinner tonight and it did not disappoint. When you walk in you automatically feel very welcomed by the servers who greet you right away. Service here was great, as the server was attentive and you could tell she was genuinely open to helping customers. In addition to their regular menu, they have a combo menu of about five items which are included with side dishes, miso soup and salad. I got the Hashi don, which was a chirashi bowl (diced sashimi on rice). Everything was really nicely presented and tasted fresh. The salad had a citrusy taste and the miso soup was flavourful. It's the perfect amount to fill you up. My table also ordered a plate of volcano rolls to share. Though it was pricey ($17 for 8 rolls), it was made with high quality and I was really impressed with it. The rest of the menu items are your typical offerings most izakaya restaurants offer. It is pretty dimly lit here, but I didn't mind that at all as it was spacious and a nice set up with booths and benches. Since this place is located right at Yonge and finch, parking is easy to find as there is a parking lot 2 minutes walking distance away with plenty of spaces. Whether you're coming here for a night out or an evening dinner, this place is great and caters to both. Expect the food to be a bit more pricey here but in my opinion you get what you pay for, which is a higher quality of food. read more

I didn't enjoy the experience at all. We ordered a broad range of items and were disappointed. The pork belly was the star however. I would recommend it. There is a lot of Korean influence in this Izakaya. If you're up for fusion, you might like it, but if you're after a genuine Izakaya experience, I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Food was ok. Ordered the dinner set meal which came with miso soup, salad, and two sides. The miso soup was good, and the two sides were interesting. I think one of them was mixed fermented root vegetables and the other was a slice of beet that had been marinated in something and was packed full of flavour. The unagi was pretty good as was the beef don. The karage chicken was bad. Not crispy at all. For large groups it is automatic 15% gratuity after tax which makes sense. But it wasn't ideal that they could not do separate bills. They said at most they could split the bill into 4 - meaning only 4 payments. We ended up just paying the whole amount on one credit card and will each have to emt or pay back that one person. Not the most convenient, and not worth the fuss considering all the other good food options in the area. read more

Always have great experience at this Izakaya. I usually come to this place to grab drinks with friends but it was nice to have dinner here as well! I ordered 32pcs in their maki set menu, and it was more than enough for 3 people!! Overall service is awesome, you feel very welcomed when you walk in. Throughout the night, our cups were always filled with water and they were very quick with serving food. Of course there are better sushi restaurants, but as Izakaya, food wasn't bad. It was a great atmosphere to grab food, drinks and social with friends. read more

We already had dinner but felt like some Izakaya so we dropped by this place for a quick snack. We went on a Tuesday night so it wasn't crowded at all. We ordered the following dishes: - salmon tataki - spicy tuna roll - BBQ beef - chicken karaage Nothing really stood out except the BBQ beef. It was super tender, very well seasoned and had a smokey taste to it which was very nice. We would go back just that dish alone. The chicken karaage could use some work though. It looked crispy but it wasn't crispy at all. I guess they didn't do the double fry trick or something. Might come back in the future on an empty stomach to try out other dishes. read more

Hashi is one of my favourite places as they have very fresh food and delicious drinks. Their sashimi is absolutely delicious with lots of options. Lots of drink options as well. I would highly recommend this place! read more

The first to arrive was the Spicy Sashimi Salad. This had diced sashimi and greens with a sweet-chili dressing. While I found the greens to be very fresh in this salad, I didn't think that it was overall that spectacular. But then again, it's really just sashimi salad so unless there was something really extra about it, it was mediocre. The Salmon Natto arrived with seaweed on the side. It came with diced cucumber and a quail egg yolk. This Salmon Natto was a smaller in size in comparison to others I've had in the past but was more flavourful (not as bland). I remember that there was nothing too special about it either. The Salmon Hako Sushi from the Teishoku Meal Set was a torched salmon box-sushi. The set arrived on a tray with miso soup, salad, rice, and two side dishes. I was really impressed with this Salmon Hako Sushi! It was pressed sushi which meant it was "box-shaped" and was really delicious! There was something about it that was so tasty, soft, and done really well. This was the best dish of the night. Although I didn't initially have a good meal overall, I think that Hashi Izakaya has some really good menu items. After going there, I realized that I should have tried their "Creamy Pork Belly" dish as I heard that one was really good. I don't think I'll return any time soon though because I thought their prices were a little high and there are just so many restaurants in the neighbourhood of Yonge and Finch that I would want to try something else next time. read more

Great for afterwork drinks. Food: 4/5 Taco Wasa!!! Service: 3/5 Okay. Environment: 4/5 Cozy Washrooms: 3/5 Worth it?: 4/5 This is a go to spot for my co workers and I after work. Happy hour is from 5 to 8 which works out great because we are really close by. Beer selection is good for a izakaya. The drinks overall are pretty good. My favorite appetizer by far is the Taco Wasa here. It is a great sharable. Chicken Karaage is great here as well. Service is what you expect from a busy bar but the service is the same even while completely empty. They often have a shortage of menus so they may grab the menu you asked to hang on to for layer orders. Great spot. Will be back soon and often. read more

Prices at this Izakaya are not cheap. If you want a value-for-money item here, I would recommend their SALMON IKURA DON; portion is huge, sashimi is fresh, and it looks pretty. If you decide to order both the HASHI CHAPON RAMEN ($18) and SALMON IKURA DON ($14) like we did, which are both decent choices, give this a taste: try dipping the don in the ramen broth (like in the photo). The richness of the broth will enhance the flavour in the sushi rice, though not the best idea if you care about chewing and your digestive system health. Suggest to do this when the ramen broth has been sitting for awhile, not piping hot. TAKO WASA - Wasabi marinated octopus ($5) - we prefer this dish from Tsuki Izakaya more because it tastes better and cheaper there at $4. We thought they put way too much wasabi here at Hashi. SHO CHIKU BAI CLASSIC - As much as I'd love to say I enjoy hot sake cos it sounds cool, the fact is I don't! We got it as it was on special (menu: $11, special price: $9). read more

My latest izakaya discovery. I LOVE the playlist here! Cozy, low key environment. Great place to just chill and drink. (Asahi Black available) Came for dinner around 8pm on a Sunday. Quite empty - it starts filling up after 9:30. Street parking and green P at the back. My fav dishes: - Pork neck + shishito pepper - Mixed mushrooms - Takowasabi Would probably skip the oshi sushi next time. read more

I stumbled upon this izakaya by accident. I was searching all over Y/F for something good to eat. Every restaurant was full or had long line ups. I hate lining up to eat and pay! Well Hashi had several tables free and we were seated in a nice table near the back. I liked how they placed us apart from the other tables. Most restos cram you together so its easier to serve you. Ordered the beef donburi and the seafood udon. Both were tasty and were much better than I had anticipated! I would come back for the beef donburi. Service was actually quick and efficient. Even though it was by accident, I would come back again! Give Hashi a try like I did! 4 stars **** read more

Hashi Izakaya - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The Space: Has an authentic Japanese vibe to it. I really love design of the interior space, especially the benches and the private seating area near the main entrance. Food & Drinks: Hashi is like a sushi / bar diffusion restaurant. Like I mentioned previously, the seating area hidden near the main entrance is my go to spot if I'm planning on drinking my heart out. The food here is always good, some their things are a tad expensive so we always try to order things that come in big, shareable portions. The quality of their food is always on point and highly recommend trying the okonomiyaki and their meal sets. Service: The service is pretty decent. I've only come here during weekend nights when they are busy and have gotten fairly attentive servers who don't hover. I think my favourite part of Hashi is the people you meet there because everyone is super fun and friendly! read more

I went there with my Korean boy friend! When I opened the door, the workers said to us "Irasshaimase" in Japanese, so I'm so surprised! The name of this place is closely associated with Japanese place! We ordered Oden and Okonomiyaki! Both of them are familiar menus in Japan. I'm so excited! They were very tasty. However, I imagined Japanese Oden and Okonomiyaki, so actually they were weird for me. Okonomiyaki has onion and Oden is spicy for me. I shouldn't had imagined Japanese taste. On the other hand, he loved them, specially Oden! Yesterday was cold, so it was really good. He likes drinking and he said it's good for drinking! Anyway, service was very politeness and good! If the music were not too loud, this restaurant could be better to meet with friends. read more

Hashi Izakaya - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Tonight I came by with a friend to order a variety of dishes and when one forgot to come, our waitress said I didn't order it but I even remember pointing to it on the menu and orating it to her (insert the 'bitch, did I stutter?' meme here). Not sure how the translation got lost there, but thankfully the item finally arrived and was super filling in size (black Dragon roll) the only thing I would say is they didn't put enough eel to suffice for the price. They make their rolls slightly larger by filling them up with veggies - not necessarily a bad thing but unagi should be the star of the show. Anyway, all in all this place seemed similar to other Izakaya's but I wouldn't say I would come back nor recommend this resto either bc there are better ones in the area. read more

Returned here for dinner on a Sunday evening. Their menu changed, some of the dishes we used to love were no longer available. They also don't offer any more sushi rolls. New to their menu were some dinner 'sets' with miso soup and two side dishes. We were quite disappointed to say the least. This place used to be a gem for me. I never minded the above-average prices as the food were great and the portions used to be generous. After ordering over $70 of food for two we were baffled by the small portions. We ordered two meal sets, a spicy sashimi salad, and a unagi sushi. We were not full after finishing everything. The food also tasted underwhelming. We had hoped for better dishes. The unagi sushi which costed $18 had only tiny pieces of fish on the rice. The rice also broke apart when we tried to pick them up. We felt cheated afterwards; that meal was definitely not worth $70+. Service was decent, the servers were very courteous and nice. The food killed the experience for us. We will unlikely return anytime soon. read more

Hashi Izakaya - Unagi sushi. $18 at the time we ordered the dish. Very mediocre tasting and small fish-to-rice ratio. - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Great addition to the area - would highly recommend!! We decided to give this place a try after trying nome only to find they were full. We went for dinner and ended up being the first table for the night. I hope people catch onto how great Hashi is! We tried the warm sake special and sampled a handful of the small dishes. I was impressed with all the food and the quality was very consistent! Especially worth mentioning is the grilled yellow tail neck - it was so tender and my favourite dish of the night. The ebi mayo (fried shrimp) and the unagi avocado kabayaki were close seconds. The taro chips and oyster cheese mayo were also solid choices. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the other items on the menu! read more

I was pleasantly surprised for my visit at Hashi Izakaya. I came in with the expectation of some of the finest Izakayas in downtown (Kinka), yet I thoroughly enjoyed the food there. We came in with a large group of around 12 people, the staff was quickly to adjust to increasing activities, and were always attentive with our table. The food also arrived extremely quickly after we ordered, allowing us to sample the dishes in succession without much waiting time in between. The food was both inventive and delicious. We practically sampled the whole menu, ranging from Udon, to sushi rolls, to karaage. The food's simplicity spoke for itself, allowing it to taste very fresh and refined. Many of the dishes are simply sauced, which is pleasantly welcome, considering some restaurant hiding the true flavour of the ingredients behind their sauces. Some of the best ones of the night were the dragon roll, the udon, and grilled unagi. A fantastic izakaya for any occasion that set the standard of what a well rounded izakaya could be. I'd definitely be making a return when I venture uptown. read more

This is an izakaya right at Finch and Yonge. They sell mediocre Japanese bar food and lots of drinks. I think they're overpriced and the Korean places nearby are better for drinking and good food. If you're craving Japanese, things you can order: karaage, taco wasa, grilled fish. Look at the photos for portion size and you'll see which ones are worth it. Vibe can be quiet or super loud depending on when you go. I've been around 5 on a weekday and it's very quiet. Service was unremarkable, she did the bare minimum. It's too expensive for the quality, but has a great location right on top of a major subway line. Rent must be expensive so their prices are high. read more

Hashi Izakaya - Spicy sashimi salad,great! - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I think people forget that Hashi is an izakaya, meaning that food portions will be small. This is why I never come here with the intention of eating a full meal. Hashi has a wide range of options for sake lovers and the food menu is a mixture of Japanese and Korean fusion. Some of my recommendations include their pork belly and ika butter yaki - both go extremely well with a casual drink. The service has always been spectacular and everything we order always gets to the table at a decent time. The lighting is a bit dark, so not great for pictures and it could get pretty loud on weekends, so not the best place for intimate conversations. I don't know why, but Hashi has a homely vibe that makes me want to come by once in awhile to catch up with friends. I'll be back! read more

I am quite disappointed at the changes made to this place. I gave it a couple of chances since their recent change, tried their regular menu as well as their set menu, but it just wasn't up to par. I'm not sure if the owner or chef has changed, but they seem to have "cheaped out" on the food quality and quantity. My previous review indicated that this place was great BECAUSE of their consistency, but even the service was worse this time around! They no longer have sushi rolls, and have "torched" sushi...but these were terrible. Mushy and thin pieces of sushi pieces. The karage was also substantially smaller in quantity. It was pretty much $6 for six small pieces of fried chicken. The ebi mayo is no longer as it was. It's now ebi curry mayo and the shrimp is substantially smaller and no longer comes with the salad underneath like it used to. Terrible presentation as well, since it was just a bunch of fried shrimp in a bowl. We also ordered the butter squid yaki which was the only thing that seemed to have remained similar to the old menu, but with a price increase. We ended up paying $60 for the above dishes plus one beer. So disappointing because this was my favourite izakaya in the neighbourhood, and they had to go ahead and ruin it like most restaurants do to save a few bucks. Sorry Hashi, but you've just lost a couple of customers. read more

There aren't enough good Izakayas in Toronto but thankfully Hashi exists! Great selection of beer, open late, convenient parking, and the food is delicious. The Taro chips are a massive portion and good for sharing/snacking on while thinking about what else you want to order. They have changing daily specials and I've always liked the Soft Shell Crab. The pork belly, grilled mackerel, and karaage are all rich and delicious! read more

This place can be described as like a cross between a bar and a sort of sushi restaurants with the way they have more hidden away seating off to the side (like booths but not really). When the restaurant isn't busy you get fairly attentive servers trying not to hover but also not completely out of sight. When the it got a bit busy the servers seemed to only grace up with their presence as they sat another table next to us. The food here is always good they get even recommended some specials not on the menu. The special was this creamy clam and bacon udon. I personally am not a cream person but the table enjoyed the bowl. The saltiness of the seafood and bacon helped me to make it through my bites. We also started with the spicy sashimi salad (courtesy of the birthday girl who we were dining with). We also got the set meal of 9 taster dishes which included two pickled Vegs, karage, sashimi plate, pork belly, small down bowl and some other thing I'm forgetting. All items were quite good. The okonomiyaki was full of squid and shrimp, and had a great balance of the cabbage as well. The final item we got was a Unagi don. Not much to say about it, it was a solid bowl of rice eel and seaweed garnish. This was our second time at this restaurant and will continue to occasionally dine here. read more

Quite a chill place. The ambience is nice and full of beautiful Asian people. The food is good as well but I find it more of a drinking place. Lots of sake selections. Highly recommended! read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday night around 8pm, and was able to get a seat without a reservation for 2. We sat at the bar which is really fun to watch the chefs make all the food, and the seats were brighter by the kitchen, everywhere else is really dark. The waitresses were nice, service was attentive and quick. Got the karrage, fried chicken, not bad exactly what it is, could be a little saltier for personal preference. The ebi mayo shrimp was good, the shrimp were large sized, crispy batter and the sauce wasn't overwhelming. The sushi itself was mediocre, it was good because it had lots of toppings but the rice felt mushy and overpacked. The best thing we tried was the creamy pork belly. The pork belly was braised so soft, the potato at the bottom was so creamy that it felt like polenta. The flavours were rich and warm. If I had to go back I'd just order this. read more
