Hana Don Japanese Cuisine & Bar

Very disappointed with the don. I was charged an extra $10 for Japanese uni after they ran out of the BC uni, bringing the total to $55. The portion was nowhere near what was shown on the menu photo, very small and underwhelming for the price. I wouldn’t order this again or come back for a don with such a small sashimi portion when many other places offer much better quality and value.

One of my favourite spots for donburi in downtown Toronto. I have been here a few times and everything I have tried are so tasty. Will come back to try more!

A small unassuming restaurant.
When you’re inside there’s a small dining room.
It’s clean and the atmosphere is relatively quiet.

We ordered the Sous Vide beef don, the sea food chazuke, and the okonomiyaki (not pictured).

Both dons were very flavourful, and had fresh ingredients.
The okonomiyaki was good in flavour as well and enough to share between two people.

Portion sizes are good for when you’re hungry, but not super hungry.
The dishes are rice heavy, but the quality of rice is top notch and cooked perfectly to match with the dishes.

The bowls are definitely rice heavy. It’s good if you’re hungry, but not super hungry.

The portions are good sized, but for what you are paying for it is on the pricier side.
I think it is justified given the freshness of the ingredients, and that it’s in downtown right on Dundas.

We definitely are going to go back to try the other dons.

Service was great. Our waters were constantly topped up, and our server was very attentive - even asking for allergies (since a lot of servers dont seem to do this anymore). I will caveat this by saying there were only 6 people in the restaurant though.

If you’re in the area and craving something fresh, then I would recommend this place for sure.

We definitely will be back to try the other dons.

I think it was average! I would not go again but I wasn’t upset with what I got! If you’ve been wanting to go, I would (to kill you curiosity) but would not recommend :)

I would like to note that the sashimi slices within the bowl were thinner than expected. I think the rice and fish ratio were off too. They also push the citrus flavour in a lot of these dishes. I prefer my fish without this acidic element but if you like it, I would recommend trying it out!

One of the best places in town for Sushi and Donburi. Everything is always fresh, and you can taste the quality in each cut. Great for lunch and dinner.

Got the large premium Hana Don. Every bite was a delight. Absolutely love it

Attentive service. Excellent miso soup. Loved the Unagi bowl and my sons loved the meat bowl. Flavours were well balanced. Will come again soon to try the others.

This Japanese restaurant serves very tasty eel rice with tender, well-seasoned grilled eel and a balanced sauce. The space is clean, elegant, and creates a calm and refined atmosphere.

We had a pleasant dinner at Hana Don, I got the Premium Bara Don, and the food was good although I was expecting a bit more either in terms of quality or quantity. Most of my table enjoyed their meal, except the beef bowl (could be personal taste). They called to let us know dining was limited to 1 hour despite a reservation (no mention of limit during booking) and a similar reminder upon entry made us feel a bit rushed. Overall, service was efficient and friendly and food was decent.

After had seafood done last night, had serious diarrhea. That was nightmare.
