Hana Don - 2 of the sashimi pieces were uneatable - Japanese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Arrived here on the coldest winter night of the year. It wasn't too busy but the atmosphere was nice. Staff are super friendly and accommodating. We got the Ochoko Set. It comes with a variety of small dishes and a nice miso clam soup. The miso clam soup really hit the spot on this cold winter day. It was really nice comfort food and piping hot. The dishes that arrived later were pretty good. The only dish I was a fan of was the seaweed salad. The scent was a lot stronger than expected. Other than that the seafood was very fresh and didn't have any fishy odours. Will return again in the future. Hopefully on a warmer evening. read more

Came here for lunch and had a great experience! The scallop dish was a good starter--very fresh and arrived quickly, along with the beef tartar dish. It was served with uni and caviar, which made it flavorful, though I didn't expect it to be spicy and had to remove the wasabi paste. The main dish was a seafood rice bowl with tea you pour into it--very soothing after the raw appetizers and quite filling; we couldn't finish it between the two of us. Would recommend it for a nice lunch spot! read more

we recently tried the salmon avocado don and the chopped toro don, and both were fantastic. the salmon avocado don featured tender slices of fresh salmon paired perfectly with creamy avocado, all resting on fluffy rice. the chopped toro don was equally as delicious, showcasing rich, flavourful toro that melted in our mouths, accompanied by a variety of toppings that added texture and taste! read more

Hana Don - Japanese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Talk about high class, bougie Japanese affair, this place had amazing service. The waitress who helped us out got us seated quite quickly and really took care of us, including giving us great recommendations and checking in at appropriate times. She was also quite comedic as well. HanaDon is located on the corner of the Woodbine T&T plaza. They specialize in Japanese rice bowls, more so the chirashi variations. They're also probably the only place I know of that does a full Unidon (sea urchin rice bowl) like you see in Japan, however for quite a hefty price of $68. As it was the first time going, I tried the sample rice bowls. They had 3 mini bowls of rice - uni; toro and eel. Uni was delicious. Sweet, soft, creamy. 2 slices on a bed of rice. The toro was mashed up into almost like a paste on the rice. This was alright. The eel was pretty good - you can't go wrong with eel and the unagi sauce. Ordered the truffle seafood udon. This was half disappointment half satisfying. Why? I personally love udon so I really liked the noodles. There were a good number of shrimp as well that were cooked really well. The only downside to this dish was that it's a truffle udon, but there was no truffle flavour. According to the waitress she thinks they use a truffle cream sauce to stir fry it, but from my experience, truffle oil added to anything is very very strong.... and this had everything but the truffle flavour in it. This was not a win for me. Lastly, ordered the sukiyaki hot pot. It was really old fashioned and came in a cast iron pot. This is a wagyu beef hotpot with tofu, napa cabbage, mushrooms and a bit of noodles. It is served with 2 sauces and a raw egg. This was absolutely delicious and so worth it. I highly recommend it. Not too strong, not too salty. read more

(3.5*) "Don" is short for donburi, meaning ricebowl. At Hana Don, they have a wide collection of dons with sliced sashimi set atop the bowl of carefully prepared sushi rice and garnished with a variety of extra touches. You can also make your own custom donburi masterpiece by choosing three or more toppings from their plentiful fresh ingredients list! Each bowl is served with miso soup, premium sushi rice base and one free rice topping: nori, shitake or ginger. I chose to go with: salmon, ikura and toro with the nori rice topping. I was very happy with my topping choices for my custom don that was placed on the bed of rice with a branded tamago and wasabi on a shiso leaf. The light and fluffy rice has small hits of vinegar and nori to bring out its full flavor. The ikura (salmon roe) complements the rice well but was best enjoyed on its own when the brilliant orange pearls burst in your mouth. It's lightly marinated so that it's just savoury enough as it pops in the mouth in a briny, umami burst. Chopped Toro is medium fatty tuna which is specifically scraped off from bones, and finely chopped and then placed on the premium rice. It was very buttery and rich. There were also three freshly sliced salmon sashimi. So simple, so divine. To finish, a red sweetened yamamomo berry (bay berry/Japanese mountain peach) acts as a lovely palate cleanser. Their Uni Don is creaminess-overload with the soft buttery fresh uni on a bed of rice accompanied with a branded tamago and wasabi on a shiso leaf. Each piece of uni make for a perfect melt-in-your-mouth bite with a sweet, mellow tang. If you never had uni before, a Uni Don is one of the better dishes to introduce yourself to the golden, creamy ingredient; the rice gives a good base to help you get acquired to the taste. Oddly, the Uni Don was in a smaller bowl compared to the custom don and the rice to uni ratio was a bit mediocre. They did not have BC Uni left and the ones we got was from Boston. The Karaage consisted of very little pieces of lightly battered thigh meat. For $9, it was a let down. The food at Hana Don stays true to the principles of using premium ingredients. The menu is extensive, with appetizers, ala cart sushi/sashimi, premium/custom/regular dons and other Japanese delights like Izakaya or Teikousho Sets. They have different types of Uni depending on the season, the one we got is from Boston! While we totally recommend calling in for some takeout (ours took 1hr during lunch hours), try to get yourself a seat to enjoy the freah sashimi in person when possible. If you're a diner who appreciates quality ingredients, you will enjoy the pristine freshness of the seafood offered at Hana Don but be prepared for a splurge! read more

Good sushi sets and options, also open during COVID-19 for take out. However I feel like they are overpriced for nothing. The "premium quality" isn't worth the price I am paying for. The interior design is lovely and so is the service but I don't think I'll purposely come back. read more

Wow! Another amazing Japanese restaurant in Markham. I think this place opened only a few months ago just before the pandemic happened. I hope that they make it through this difficult time. I only noticed this place because it's in the same plaza where I shop for grocery. There's not a lot of reviews since it's takeout only now and people are still uncomfortable ordering takeout. The prices here are definitely on the expensive side but if you're looking for good quality Japanese food then you should give this place a try. There are so many items that I want to try here. We ordered the Chopped Toro (fatty raw tuna) don, Aburi don (seared raw fish), and Pork Loin Tonkatsu set. Finally, a place that knows how to make a good tonkatsu that taste just like how it's done in Japan. Unfortunately it was not piping hot by the time we brought it home. But the taste was spot on! Everything was so well presented and delicious. We'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes! read more

I'm struggling here... I want to do a full review of the place but I can't. I don't know about their service, restaurant cleanliness, fresh out of the kitchen food experience... I want to give them a total score that is all about their place. Things that my reviews cover...but thanks for this ridiculous Pandemic, I got take out. OK... Let's review the takeout then. FYI - I don't like takeout. Unless it's a handheld food like a sandwich or a burger, I won't be able to enjoy it right away. The Fresh out of the Kitchen Food Experience!!! This is real people! Who wants cold food that suffered container lock. You know what that is... the container locks in the hot food and as it cools, the steam condenses and everything gets wet! Crispy chicken becomes soggy. Rice becomes a wet cakey mess. Vegetables lose their colour and becomes mushy - ugh... baby food. You get the picture! I DO NOT LIKE TAKEOUT FOOD! BUT let's do a food review on take out food! LOL! This ought to be fun! So... Hana Don just opened and then Pandemic City! They are doing their best to promote themselves as a take-out destination. Well...they are a Japanese Restaurant, specializing in fresh seafood. Many of the dishes won't have hot Container Lock! Nice!!! I walk in to this really nice space. The restaurant is really pretty. Their decor is simple, flowers, lots of lights, big glass on the front of the restaurant faces south and has good natural light. Basically a pretty place to have a meal. I've seen a lot of take out from my foodie pals lately and they look delish! I've read quite a few negative reviews and was apprehensive, but seeing all the take out pix from my food geeks, I don't understand all the negativity. The plating that Hana Don does in take out containers is off the chain. I normally get takeout and re-plate it before I take pix. I don't think it would be necessary here. And I was right. My order today was the Large Lobster Don - something they call Premium Don. Anyway, I think it's a bargain for the price. A whole poached lobster rendered and plated on top of their premium sushi rice. $38. I think they like to use the word Premium - LOL! Anyway, I live approx 20mins away from leaving the restaurant, getting back to my place and then settling down to eat - have to add some time to take photos and all that too! Ugh - the foodie life can be stressful. Will I also be a victim of hot food Container Lock! Well well well... My food, though mostly cooled by the time I got finished taking all the pictures and finally taking my first bite...was totally awesome!!! Let me back up a bit. I lifted the Lobster and it was only the shell. It was masterfully rendered! I mean it. The shell came completely cut all the way around. The tail piece was sliced and well dressed in their cheese sauce (I think it tasted like hollandaise). The claws were pre-cracked and all the tender lobster pieces came out in one juicy piece. The only drawback on this meal. They gave TOO MUCH rice. After putting the Lobster into the container, they had to push it down into the rice - when they did that, the rice became rice cake in certain spots. One thing to tell you though, the PREMIUM sushi rice is really delish. So well seasoned with nori bits, sesame seeds, and just the right amount of salt. So in this case, LESS is MORE - as I only at about half the generous portion of rice. OK... so let me figure out a score. I'd give them 4.5 stars! Darn that generous portion of rice and too big of a lobster! LOL! I pretty sure if I ordered their fresh seafood donburi, it may be a 5 star. To all those people that asked me about the place. Yes... it's worth going. BTW - PROMO info!!! Listen UP! $38 (+tax = $43) for the lobster. Spend over $30 (pre-tax) and get Chicken Karaage for free. Pick it up and pay cash... 15% off the order! So for $36.50 all in, you get lobster, chicken Karaage... Bargain - YA!!! Duh!!! Now get out there and have some Hana Don!!! CHEERS!!!! read more

My go to spot for lunch if I'm in the area. Sushi is always fresh and service is great. Decor is clean and modern.

We saw this place on YouTube and were really excited to try based on the reviews. It was our last full day in Canada and wanted to end it in a bang. We got here right when it opened and were immediately seated. The restaurant is incredibly fancy inside, with two long booths in the center carrying a bed of pink flowers with a mini water fountain (!!!) in the middle. One end of the flower bed has two mini elephant statues and a small Christmas tree on the other. (We went to Canada after the holidays). A large decorative fish presides over the restaurant and towards the back is where the chefs can be seen making sushi. Drawings of food are taped to one of the walls and bottles of peach drinks are placed behind some of the seats as well. We ordered the following: Daughter had the Trio Toro Don, which has toro (fatty tuna), chu toro (medium fat tuna), chopped toro and caviar on premium sushi rice. She thought it was really good and would absolutely order it again. She loved the tuna and was surprised that the fatty tuna with all the fat showing was really good. She thought that the tuna was nice and THIIIIIICCCCCCKKKKK. She loved that the eggs had the name of the restaurant on it. It was printed a little askew. Hubs had the Kyoto Don, which has assorted premium seafood (13 pieces) and tamago on premium sushi rice. Hubs liked it and got everything the way he wanted. Lastly, we got the Unatama Don, which has grilled freshwater eel and tamago on a bed of white rice. This was delicious and sweet. I love eel and this didn't disappoint. Service was great until the bill came. The server asked if we're paying by credit or cash and we said cash. She said ok and said that cash and credit are the same price. I was surprised because I saw signs all over the restaurant that it's 5% discount if you pay by cash. So, I asked her to repeat in case I heard wrong. Nope, I heard her correct. Didn't want to fight it . She stuttered the second time when I had her repeat it. We just paid them 15% tip instead of 20% because of this. This place almost got 5 stars from me, but that whole cash and credit being the same price fiasco kind of ticked me off. I guess we were pegged for being Americans and ABC. I felt we weren't treated right. Instead of having a great experience, we left with a slight sour taste in our mouths. Even though this place was gorgeous and sushi was great, I doubt we'll be back. There are plenty of other sushi places in Canada to try in the future when we return. read more

The staff here are really attentive and patient. once you step into the restaurant you can tell they tried to curate what space they had into being unique and appealing. I ordered the uni toro tartare which was really decent. I had been tartare in the past so I appreciated the consistency and texture of this dish. Next I got the seafood bowl and my only gripe would be the amount of vinegar in the rice but I know their formula is a bit different. When it comes to sushi rice I like the rice being able to stand by itself in terms of flavour so I would only utilize only a few drops of soya sauce. Here I had to use a bit more so thats my only qualm. Overall it's really good; I would love to sample their other dishes! read more

Let me preface by saying that I know the owner of the business but as a personal virtue (food or otherwise) I cannot do anything except call a spade a spade. We went on the first day of soft opening so I really can't comment on the service aside from it being courteous. As with any newly opened restaurant, growing pains are to be expected. What I can comment on is that there was a conscious effort in offering food with high quality at medium high prices. The more expensive version of uni don consisted of two types of uni. The Japanese variety was quite fresh and the Boston variety was quite decent from a freshness standpoint as well. Not the freshest I've had in town but for sure above average. Unagi don was delicious and not of the regular frozen aisle variety. It was more fatty and was torched just the right amount. At $18; great value and really hits the spot. I like the panko batter on the deep fried horse mackerel. They were also very attentive as they basically deboned the whole thing but kept the tail for visual effects. The bento came with raw cabbage and was accompanied by a typical Japanese fruit and vegetable bbq sauce. I personally feel that It's not the best pairing and may overwhelm the taste of the fish. I'd suggest they consider a variation of a tartar sauce instead. The dish did come with sesame in a mortar and a pestle which my kids enjoyed playing with but I was personally confused with the usage and effect of the crushed sesame on any part of the bento. They also provided matcha salt with the dish but I'm not sure it managed to deliver the umami flavour that was intended. The miso soup that came with it had a good amount of miso flavour but was on the slightly salty side. Grilled mackeral was also good - with a crispy skin, just enough bbq flavour and a fatty and moist centre. Some of the section on the edge was however slightly overcooked. Hana Don as the name suggest has a focus on donburi. I do have to compliment their efforts in making the rice really well. A nice variety of Japanese rice was used and you can see the distinctive grains of rice while maintaining the necessary stickiness and it was dressed well with just the right amount of vinegar. Overall a grade of 3.6 out of 5 is quite justified with room for improvement. I'll be updating my review once things start to operate normally and everything is firing on all cylinders read more

I've gotta say- Hana Don is one of my top, if not top donburi restaurants to dine at. They're known mostly for their fresh seafood donburi but sell other premium donburis including the sirloin steak donburi as pictured. They also serve a variety of sushi rolls, and our group especially enjoyed their torched rolls. In terms of quality and dining experience, Hana Don is definitely a place Japanese food lovers don't want to miss. read more

This review is based solely on the takeout option of the Chicken Katsu Don which was quite underwhelming. I have never dined in so this may not be a fair review of the restaurant, but I feel like in this day and age restaurants really should up their takeout game since there has been such a shift in dining preferences post COVID. I can't say the food would draw me to try dining in at the restaurant. read more

Came with a friend on a Sunday lunch. It was decently busy with a few open tables, we didn't make a reservation. We both got the aburi don and shared the 2 roll special- spider roll and Alaska roll ( salmon, cucumbers, avocado). The aburi bowl looked small in size but it was actually quite filling. I think I would've been full from just the bowl but I'm also not a big eater. I was definitely stuffed from the extra rolls too. Fish was fresh, flavourful and tasty. The aburi bowl had the perfect torched smokiness and creaminess from the mayo. The rolls were also very fresh and tasty. The lunch specials are def worth checking out because dinner prices are expensive. The dons and roll special came with a choice of miso soup or a soft drink as well. I chose the miso soup and it was very flavourful. Staff were very attentive and nice as well read more

Beautiful Restaurant, Wonderful Food and Staff! When we arrived at Hana Don, we didn't have a reservation but they were happy to accommodate us. The server told us that even placing a reservation an hour before we arrived would be helpful for them, so I would definitely make a reservation before you arrive! Food 5/5 The food was amazing! The quality of fish was high quality and definitely worth the price. The rice was also really nice and suited the dons perfectly. The cost of food ranged from $18 to $80, and there was a good range of items in each price range, so something for everyone. The make your own don with salmon, scallops, and Hamachi (yellowtail) was $24, and the don with flounder, yellowtail, and salmon was $29. There was a big section of the menu that had deep fried food like tonkatsu in case someone in your party wasn't huge on raw fish. There were also many vegetarian options. Service - 5/5 They were super friendly from the beginning of the night to the end of the night. They came over at the right times to refill tea and came over at the end to make sure we were comfortable. Atmosphere 5/5 Very classy interior with Japanese decor throughout. The mirror in the middle of the ceiling makes the whole restaurant feel bigger which adds to the atmosphere. read more

The sushi here is so good! They give you so much fish in each roll and it's all really fresh. It also isn't too expensive for what you get! We ordered the Aburi Don and the Chopped Toro Don- both of which tasted amazing. We all really liked the addition of mushrooms in the rice! As for rolls, we got a spicy salmon, spicy blue fin tuna, yellowtail scallion, shrimp tempura, and eel avocado. The favourites were the spicy blue fin tuna & shrimp tempura rolls! This is definitely my favourite take out sushi place- I'll have to try dining in sometime :) read more

I was a bit upset and disappointed for the first time visit at Hana Don Woodbine location. Food is ok but look at my lunch, there's a big difference On the menu picture, it shows he whole eel with rice, however, half was gone when it's in front of me. As a customer, I was expected to be the same as you have shown on the menu or similar. It's hard to believe that's the case. I talked to the waitress but she said it's only for the presentation on the menu picture and it's based on the oz(weight). It didn't even show on the menu then how should customer know. read more

I've previously dined here for their signature sushi bowls and decided return to try more of their sushi options We had: Yellowtail: It was topped with yuzu and truffle oil and I found the yuzu overpowered the truffle aroma Uni Toro Tartare: This was delicious, maybe a touch on the salty side but the toro was buttery and the presentation with caviar and uni reminded me of Nobu's version of this dish (YUM) Takowasa: It came in a pretty generous portion, and was actually spicy. I've been to quite a few places that serve this and it wasn't spicy at all Grilled Black Cod: I found the flavors to be a bit light/bland but the fish was very tender Cheese-Baked Oyster: This was actually sooo cheesy, however one oyster was $9 which was definitely pricey for what it is. 12pc premium sashimi: I found the quality of sashimi wasn't there. I mean for $45, I expected there to be more pieces of premium fish, but I found the quality and cuts to be just slightly above AYCE sushi level. The tuna and salmon were definitely disappointing (refer to pics). We had a good experience here but I think I'd just return for their sushi+rice bowls and uni toro tartare in the future. read more

Saw this over IG and decided to try it out during the pandemic. And I'm not sure if it wasn't fresh because business is slow but everything was so fishy. I've had toro from many places and none have tasted THAT fish or fish at all... The aburi don was good would definitely have that again. The Hana roll was also good. Service was good, everyone was friendly and food came fast. I wouldn't say the prices are bad however for the quality I don't think it's worth it. read more

Delicious and amazing service. The staff here are really nice and hospitable. Fish here is very fresh and they really took the time to design the menu and each dish. Normally if we order any type of don rice bowl, it's just sushi rice at the bottom. Here, they take the time to layer some umami with mushrooms and seasoning. The eel rice is one of our favorites for sure. I also tried the aburi Don and wow!! It was so delicious. You can tell they really put their heart into preparing the bowls. Each one presented so beautiful. My favorite appetizer was that tuna tartare .. Omg it was full of flavor and zest and tangy deliciousness. I would go back just to eat that.

Also ordered the salmon bento box and it came with 6 pieces of california rolls, salmon on a bed of onions, salad, and a bowl of rice. Both meals came with miso soup by the way!

We ordered the Sakura and Aburi Don, dine in. The meals were served with a miso soup. Typical condiments were served like soy sauce and the horseradish based wasabi. The Sakura was okay, about 6-8 pieces spread on a single layer, rice had a bit of mushroom in it. The Aburi Don was okay, single layer, quite a bit of mayo based sauce. I would say the experience was okay, I wish there was a bit more fish, there was such a high ratio of rice to fish. I think 25% more fish would have made the meal perfect. If you're craving some tuna belly, its another place to visit. The location was well decorated, it seems a lot of effort was placed to make the restaurant presentable. The washrooms are very presentable too. read more

Saw their BOGO deals on uber eats and thought I could stop by the restaurant and give it a try. This restaurant is in the same location as the old yellowtail ayce sushi restaurant. I am not sure if the establishment was renamed but they still served Japanese food. Being a fan of Japanese food it was a matter of time before I made a visit. They are known for don's or sashimi rice bowls. We tried their lunch special which is offered every weekday from 11:30am-3pm. We ordered the Aburi Don and also the chicken teriyaki bento. Despite their specialty in Don's, I actually enjoyed the chicken teriyaki more. It was juicy and the chicken was flavourful. It also came with a sushi on the side which I found to be just alright. The don itself, I felt like it was also pretty average. The fish was ok quality but there are definitely some more worthy competitors in the area which is about the same in terms of price point. I do not think I will be returning as the parking in this plaza isn't my favourite and is generally busy throughout the day. read more

Okay this is my new go-to spot for all things sushi and other Japanese goodness. They have a big selection of the different types of don. It is quite pricey but it is very worth it.

The restaurant decor is so beautiful and aquatic with a massive coy fish hanging in the ceiling centre. The tables are socially distanced with bamboo panels. It is very clean.

I had a really pleasant dine-in experience here last night. We came at around 8 without reservation and had a 15 min wait due to social distant seating. I later noticed that they had the reservation service on Yelp, which I definitely will utilize next time. They had an izakaya menu and a main menu. I ordered a grilled squid to share and it was nicely cooked with a nice sweet drizzle. For main, I ordered the Aburi Don. It was a nice combination of Aburi salmon, white tuna and scallop. It came in a smaller bowl but was perfect for my small appetite. The rice also really lived up to its 'premium sushi rice' claim. My boyfriend ordered the large lobster don. He really enjoyed it and the lobster paired with the sauces was very flavourful. The presentation of all our dishes was very appealing! The service was attentive and friendly and made sure that we were satisfied with our food. I was a bit taken back by some of the negative reviews but noticed a lot of them were for their takeout experience. While I haven't visited for takeout before, I believe the dine-in presentation, service and ambiance really made a difference for us. read more

I ordered gyudon, karaage and yamaimo seafood don. Food quality is good but portion is small, especially the karaage, I'm comparing with other Japanese restaurants, they charged $10, and the portion is around the same as others charging for $5- 6. That's quite ridiculous! For the gyudon, most of them is veggies. Other gyudon places are about $12-14 has more beef than them. At least it's BOGO, otherwise I probably won't spend $19 for this. read more

I watched this place open and was honestly so hyped and excited to try it out. We went on a Sunday night and the whole place was already full so we had to wait around 20 mins for a table of 4 so it wasn't too bad. We couldnt decide what to eat, we wanted to try different things on the menu as it was our first time here but we saw that the don (rice bowls) portions were so tiny and the sushi were $$$ for a few pieces we were quite torn with what to get. We ended up with the chopped toro bowl and unagi bowl to share and some rolls, sashimi and appetizers. The food was okay but not as good as I hoped tbh. The sushi rice was warm and sticky and both the rolls and nigiri fell apart the second i tried to pick one up with my chopsticks. Their rice bowls were not bad taste was good, but as i mentioned they were really small for the price. Also presentation wise the food looked appetizing, so Ill give them that. I understand they just opened and need time to get used to things so Ill prob give them another try later on and try some other things in their menu. However, I dont think Ill go back anytime soon as theres many other good japanese restaurants in the area. read more
