For the sides, I'm a big fan their honey butter sweet potatoes and pineapple (always sweet and fresh!) They recently added fried fish to their menu, and while it's quite heavy it's so yummy I can't stop myself from ordering it. They only take reservations for groups of 6 people or more. I recommend joining the Yelp waitlist beforehand as the wait can be up to 3 hours during busy days!

Having been to the other Hana Don location in North York multiple times, I was delighted when they…read moreopened a new location in downtown. It's my go-to spot to get my don fix - I love the wide variety of dons (rice bowls) that they offer with various fish and seafood combinations. There are also unique appetizers in the menu, such as Purple Yam Croquettes, Crab Crackers, Braised Bamboo Shoots with Shirasu (immature whitebait fish), and Takowasa (marinated raw octopus pieces, to be eaten with or wrapped in nori / seaweed). Although the dons are the main highlight of their menu (hence the restaurant name), they also offer traditional sushi, sashimi, sushi rolls and sets (similar to other Japanese sushi restaurants). Miso Aburi Scallops were very flavourful - nicely torched, giving the scallops a nice grill / char taste. They came with red and green seaweed, and a bit of fish roe. Large Premium Hana Don contained a good amount of fish and seafood, including a whole abalone, uni, shrimp in the shell, aburi salmon, ikura (salmon roe), salmon sashimi, tuna sashimi, yellowtail sashimi, other various fish sashimi, tamago (egg), and a few slices of cucumber on a generous bed of rice. I liked that the rice was a mix of white rice and some type of dark-coloured grains. Unatama Don came with a big piece of unagi and tamago (egg) that were both excellent. The sashimi were all fresh. Okonomiyaki was disappointing but it was sort of expected... for only $9, it was about 99% just flour pan-fried in a patty, without any substantial fillings (unlike real okonomiyaki, which usually contains protein / seafood, cabbage, eggs, and other ingredients). Location is super convenient near Bay & Dundas, ambiance is very casual, and service is quick.

Kinka is definitely one of the best izakaya in Toronto. Ryu in Richmond Hill is still my favorite izakaya but after ourdinner at Kinka, I think it's a tie for my favorite. What really impressed me with Kinka is they have a few new items like their hand rolls which were reasonably priced at$5to $9. The wagyu beef one was only $6 and it was delicious. I'm not sure if these prices were special for the day because it was on a separate menu and not on their main menu book. If you can make it there before 7pm, there's the happy hour menu(5pm-7pm)which has some good deals like the flightAburi sushi flight(3 pcs)was only $7(must order,so yummy). I think next time I will order 3 of these aburi sushi as my main and shrimp tempura(2pcs) was$8. Definitely a few good dishes on happy hour menu so it's worth it to come a bit early.

Really enjoyed the butter corn and miso glazed eggplant, those two were my favorite. (The eggplant was quite oily though. Eggplant likes oil and handles it well, but there was a bit too much.)

One of their specials that day was their wagyu steak and I was a bit bummed by it. It was very fatty. Yet, it wasn't very fragrant.
