Located in Fairview Mall. Came by to buy take out "Salmon Lover" with sashimi, sushi and rolls Salmon very fresh and restaurant very clean and comfy seats while waiting for my take out Service was friendly and polite
I've been to Hanadon multiple times - including their downtown location and they are quite consistent in terms of food and service. We're quickly greeted and seated at our table. They gave us some tea to start. We tried their aburi don and Nagoya don. These also come with miso soup which was a nice start. The Nagoya don had chopped toro and seared salmon which was pretty tasty and fresh. Will be back!
The dishes here have beautiful presentations! Great for photos. The waitress got us our tea as soon as we sat down, so that was attentive. Also gotta say this is a very convenient location!
Had the green dragon roll set that comes with 4 pieces of the namesake, 8 pieces California roll, and 8 pieces of the spicy salmon. The deals at this location are different from downtown, and well priced. I didn't have the bowls here but personally like the bowls at the downtown location more than the rolls at the fairview location. Taste reminded me of rolls you can get to go. The space is clean and spacious, service friendly.
Tried the Guy Don combo that came with a poached egg, salad, California rolls, miso soup and of course the beef on rice. All of it was pretty good and I left feeling full. The service was good as well. Conveniently located at Fairview Mall. Worth checking out!
I went to Hana Don on Wednesday and they have 50% on appetiser during Monday to Thursday! The atmosphere is like a mall restaurant but very clean and spacious! The service overall was okay, very basic. I ordered the teriyaki (50% off - $4), which is a really good deal but I think it is 2.5/5 , as too much flour added. For the Unagi don & tempura don, I will give 3/5, they were okay, but I think it is a bit overpriced and nothing special on the taste.
Had lunch at Hana Don in Fairview Mall with family. I went for the Toyosu Don, which came with sweet shrimp, salmon, white fish, scallop, and ikura on top of their premium sushi rice. The seafood was nicely arranged, and the rice itself was well done with that slightly warm and seasoned touch that works perfectly with the toppings. In hindsight, I should've gone with the large. But that's just me, I eat a lot. I think most people would be satisfied with the regular portion. The overall quality was definitely on the good side, though a part of me felt it could have been just a notch better. Still, no complaints really. The space itself is well put together. Not overly fancy but thoughtfully laid out. It felt comfortable and clean, and worked well for a relaxed family meal. Service was okay. Nothing to really complain about, but it wasn't the kind of attentive service you'd hope for when you're paying a premium for simple, clean food like this. Also, just a small note, it would've been nice if there was an alternative to miso soup. I know that kind of dietary restriction isn't super common, but still, offering something small would've been a good touch. All in all, happy we came by. It's a solid spot in the mall, and I'd definitely be down to come back and try another bowl next time. Probably going large though.
I can't make decision on what's my favourite among all sashimi, so this Tsukiji Don is just perfect for me! Salmon, scallop, yellowtail are some of my favourites! I ordered during lunch time, where they've combo, including a miso soup!
Came here with a friend just before a musical at the Ed Mirvish theatre. I had been a fan of neighbouring You Don Ya's beef bowl and wanted to try Hana Don's to compare. Portion was good with lots of rice, a ring of thinly slice sou vide beef and an onsen egg. Unfortunately the best thing was the egg. The beef flavour was ok but lacked deep meat flavour and had a very odd texture to it - almost crumbly. My friend had the Hokkaido Don, which she found had less uni than advertised but she enjoyed the overall bowl. Therefore it seems raw food here is better than cooked food. A lot of the cooked food was also unavailable - all the chicken options. The interior is tightly spaced with small tables, but seating is comfortable. Staff were good. Pay with cash to get a 5% discount!
Their menu changed since the last time I came, but overall their donburi remains the same. The food remained consistent, but I dropped to 3 stars because of the service. It was very slow and inconsistent. We waited for a waiter to take our order for 20 minutes. After they took our order, both of our dishes did not arrive at the same time, and we couldn't enjoy our meals together. It was very awkward when one of us is eating while the other is waiting. By the time my brother finished his meal, my meal came. I noticed this similar behaviour the last time I came when it took the waiters a long time to show up. We would have to flag them to get their attention. I would still come back, but their service needs to be changed for things to be consistent and run smoothly instead of making the customers wait.
We came back to this spot in Fairview Mall. Today was not such a great experience. A couple of things - they have changed the menu and they removed some things that were really quite good on it, including what used to be a shrimp appetizer in a spicy sauce. It's no longer on the menu. They do have a much broader option of choices for appetizers. So I suppose that's good - it was just a shame to see that one item that we like so much gone. The other thing was that the waitress made a terrible mistake with our order. She got the edamame appetizer, OK, and then we ordered two Tonkatsu but only brought one to the table. I mean ... seriously!!??? She came to the table with 1 tray and we are like where is the other? She gave us a somewhat blank look and then I said we ordered 2. Ie we each wanted this. It seemed to take a bit to get through to her what the mistake was; finally she got it, and then leisurely walked back to punch in the correction. I insisted my husband take it and so he ate his but basically he was done his meal before our mine even came to the table. The other part that was incredibly disappointing was that the restaurant didn't offer any kind of adjustment for the error, especially since we took the mistake without making a big fuss. I mean offer the edamame for free or something. The food is good but candidly, I can't say if we'll go back. Lots of places you can go where it's not so hard to make yourself understood and to get what you order. And I mean how many places would you go where you both don't order something?
All the rice bowls are presented beautifully and the food all look fresh and delicious. Place is clean and pretty spacious as well. Service wise, we had a very friendly and attentive server who also accommodated us staying much longer to chitchat. They also made space for us for a baby stroller as well. Food wise, I did enjoy the grilled squid and my sous-vide beef don. The beef was melt in the mouth soft, my only complain was that the sauce topping was cold and hence a bit too thick.

If you're craving some delicious Japanese Don, then you should come and give it a try. They have a lot of choices for you to pick. The service here is good when you need assistance it doesn't take them long to get help. The atmosphere is perfect as it is not loud and you can have decent conversations with friends and family.
Tips: - Make a reservation, as this eatery can get busy. - This place has bento box sets every day from 11 am till 4 pm. You get a lot for a great price. On Sunday, I got together with two friends for lunch at Hana Don. Markham has a location that I have yet to visit. My friends come to this one at CF Fairview Mall often and recommended that we come here. I booked a reservation for three at 12:30 pm online. It was easy. I drove over to this mall, which has changed a lot. There are more eateries that face Sheppard Avenue East and are connected to the mall, but you don't have direct access to it. The Moxie's is still there. I didn't recognize the others. Parking was challenging. This mall was busy. I ended up finding a spot close to the former Hudson's Bay store. I then walked over. I entered the eatery and a man greeted me. I let him know that I had a reservation under my name. He found it and guided me to a table in the corner of the eatery. My friend walked in and saw me through the window. They came over and we chatted while figuring out what we wanted to eat. We got these items: - Chicken katsu udon - Yuzu matcha soda (me) - Sirloin set (me) - Chicken teriyaki set - Dynamite roll One of my friends had udon for the first time. It was in broth. The chicken katsu came on a separate plate. I had a piece and it was tasty. She loved her meal. The udon was chewy. It looked good. My other friend was recovering from a cold, so we kept things safe by not sharing anything with him. He got the chicken teriyaki set and ate everything up. He ordered a dynamite roll and we had his California roll that came with his meal. I was pleased that his appetite was in good shape. She and I shared the California roll. It was delicious. It had imitation crab and avocado. This place was generous with ingredients in this roll. It was fresh and satisfying. I got the yuzu matcha soda. It was heavenly. I stirred it up before I drank it. It had the perfect balance of citrusy, sweet yuzu with good matcha and fizz. So refreshing! I loved my sirloin set. The sirloin steak don was exceptionally filling. The steak morsels were flavourful and perfectly cooked. It came with a lot of rice that was perfectly steamed. This set came with sashimi mori. I loved the salmon, but the smoked fish wasn't the best. The veggie tempura was excellent. The eggplant, sweet potato, and squash weren't greasy. They were crispy and yummy. The amazuzuke was excellent. I got white radish cubes that were pickled in what tasted like yuzu. Each cube cleansed my palate. I need to make some at home! The miso soup was excellent. I loved the cubed tofu. The salad was okay. The dressing tasted bland compared to everything else. It needed more miso or something. The sets were a great deal. The quality was superb. They are available every day between 11 am and 4 pm. We were too stuffed to get any dessert. The ube tiramisu intrigued me. I'll need to find room to enjoy it next time. It was busy here. The downside was that we had to flag our server to get more water and the bill. Otherwise, everything that we consumed was yummy. I paid with a credit card. I tipped and was done. Yay! I used the washroom before we left. The women's washroom was clean. No issues. This eatery is a great place to catch up with friends over delicious food. I'd like to come here on a weekday and gauge the parking scene. I'd return to try more good eats and drinks. (187) read more
I came here on a Tuesday evening and it was packed. Luckily I had a reservation for a party of four. The menu was extensive, has a mix of don, noodles, sushi, tempura, nigiri, etc. I got the soba noodle with tempura and a sushi roll. The soba noodle was nice, it came with the sauce along with the water they boiled the water in I think... I wish they explained what that was for. I was a little confused. The sushi roll was sadly drenched in sauce, and I was not a fan. The service was very average. It took a long time for the food to come out, and everyone's food came out at a different time, like 15-20 minutes apart. The staff weren't very nice when we ask for things, and even took a long time for the bill to come when asked. My friend did mention the fish was fresh in her don but not too sure if I'd come back to give it another try... read more
Hana Don met all my expectations and more. You enter from outside of the mall. Their decor is modern and trendy. Had a lovely time for a weekend lunch at Hana Don Fairview Mall. We had the Tenzaru Soba set, cold noodles, Soba soup and delightful tempura. The tempura batter was very light and crispy. We also tried the Unatama Don, clear water eel on rice. The eel was tender and sauced just right. Added a la carte California roll and it didn't disappoint. It had a full piece of crab and made well. The service is very attentive and prompt. Overall a delicious lunch. read more

It's great to revisit here. This time we have the following recommendations: *B06* Trio Toro Don *B10* Premium Bara Don *B02* Large Premium Hana Don Among all three the best of course was the Trio Toro Don! It came with fatty O-toro tuna + regular toro + chopped tuna & caviar. Nicely presented. Very satisfying. Good service. Recommended! read more
Finally got to try Hana Don myself after hearing mixed reviews from everyone. I got the Deluxe Bara Don and my boyfriend got the Gyudon. The Deluxe Bara Don was fresh and delicious I was stuffed after finishing it! The only thing I wish was that there could be a little bit more uni. I didn't try the Gyudon but my boyfriend enjoyed it. There was a good amount of beef and rice, the dish was piping hot when it came out and he said it was very filling. The servers there were very nice and attentive. They always came and refilled our waters and took our empty plates away. Will definitely come back to try their other bowls ! read more
We came on a weekend as walk-in guests and was seated immediately as there were still tables available. I ordered the Premium Bara Don (toro, uni, botan ebi, sea scallop, squid, octopus, amberjack, whitefish, ikura, salmon, cucumber, tamago). My friend ordered the Aburi don and a sushi roll. The presentation was beautiful for the dishes, but the bara don lacked uniqueness. Some of the fish tasted a little fishy, but I ignored it.. fast forward to later that night and my friend got extremely sick. The next day, I also got food poisoning prior to eating anything else, suggesting that the fish we ate was not fresh. I want to give them the benefit of a doubt, but for this reason, we will not be coming back. read more
I've been to both locations on many occasions. Both for events and just chilling with friends. I love this place! The food is always spot on for eating with the eyes and your tummy. The food is always beautifully plated and fresh. I can tell you that I've had some of the freshest Japanese seafood here. AND don't forget their Katsu too. Personal favs here... get their premium Dons. Generously sized and perfect to share - if you want. The pricing here reflects the quality of the food and that fact they are in a premium part of a mall too! My go to place when near the Fairview Mall. CHEERS!!! read more

Hana Don is a chain restaurant that serves Japanese cuisine. Mainly rice dishes. I got to try the Gyu Don which is beef and rice and thought it to be just okay. In comparison to other places, I find that this was more on the pricey side, along with their appetizers. They did have rice and sushi specials which were really good deal, and I believe 50% off their beer during weekdays. Our waiter was very attentive and and prompt. The portion for the rice dish was pretty good. This place is located along Fairview Mall so parking can be tricky. I would go again if I were in the area, but I don't think it's a spot I'll go out of my way to try. read more
I love that this place exists in Fairview mall. They have a great selection of delicious dishes to choose from and their matcha dessert is a must try. The staff was also great. They gave us suggestions on what to try which was great. I definitely would come back here to try the rest of the menu! read more
I don't think words alone can describe how much I love this place! Maybe the fact I went 3x in the same week will display how much I love their food & service. I've gone with a couple different friends and we've tried various items, all were delicious and presented exquisitely. I was not a fan of the cheese stuffed chicken and personally found it a bit bland for my taste, my picky eater friend did enjoy it. Seating is not the most comfortable but tables are spaced nicely, and the entire restaurant is bright and clean. They have a roll up wall which opens to a small patio in the front. It wasn't open the times I was there. Ample parking, although it's mall parking so if you go early you may need to circle for a spot. Great portion size for the entree's, and they're very filling. However, the Tempura seems a bit costly and they could add a bit of salad with it or a few extra pieces of yam to offset the cost. Definitely recommend this place for any occasion, although if you have a large group I suggest calling ahead as it's not a large space. In closing....yummmmmm read more
Dons, dons, dons! Came for a quick solo lunch on a weekend and loved my dish! Ordered the chopped toro don and it came with miso soup on the side. I'm bias because I love anything and everything toro so I thought it was really good and fresh! It's chopped toro (tuna) on top of a bed of sushi rice. Rice texture was perfect and had a slight vinegar seasoning to it. Toro was fresh and complimented the rice well. Soy sauce on the side for you to add based on your taste/ salt level you like. The don was $25 and filled me up quite nicely, and I came in hungry! Don't let the smaller sized bowl deceive you, it's a lot of rice underneath! Service was quick and attentive. Second time coming to Hana Don, and it's just as great as the first! Can't wait to be coming back! read more

I've been here three times now. Twice with hubby & once with a friend. Food has been delicious every time we go here. When you walk in the door (enter from outside of the mall) the chefs & waitstaff are usually at the front to greet you. They are always smiling & friendly when I've come here. We get taken to a table right away where we can look at the paper menus. The decor is pretty simple. The ceiling has that industrial look where you can see the vents. They have art hanging from the ceiling. There are some nice light fixtures at the front of the restaurant & the walls are pained a deep blue. Chairs are a soft blue with wood frame & tables are wooden on the top. First time I was here I had the torched sushi & hubby had the chicken katsu set. Yummy! The price for the torched sushi is about the same as other places. I tried a piece of hubby's chicken & it was crispy & tasty. Second time I came here with my friend I had the Gyu Don & she had the chicken katsu set. We shared some gyoza. The Gyu Don is very good. The beef is tasty & the rice was seasoned well. I just wished the beef was cut up into smaller pieces as it was in long strings. They gave me a big spoon (more like a soup spoon) to eat with & it was hard to eat the beef. Next time I have the Gyu Don I will ask for a knife to cut the beef. Third time I came here hubby & I went again. He had the Haddock set & I had the Sirloin beef Don. The Sirloin beef is cut into cubes so its much easier to eat. But the rice wasn't as yummy as the Gyu Don. I tried a piece of hubby's haddock & it was good. Cooked fresh & the fish tasted fresh & good quality. The service has always been good every time I come to this restaurant. The food is cooked & served quickly. Each dish has come to the table hot if it's meant to be hot. The restaurant hasn't been that busy when we come but maybe that's because we usually come not at the peak hours. For example we often come for a late lunch at 2pm or 3pm. Also I think not a lot of people know about this restaurant yet. I like that the restaurant is clean. The ladies washroom was clean and has two stalls. One of the stalls is big enough for handicapped people. There's a small sink & mirror & paper towel dispenser. Hubby says the men's washroom was clean too. I'd definitely come back here to try other dishes. read more
Fifty percent off the Lobster Boom Don (B03) (regularly $55 for a 1.5 lb fresh lobster) for the grand opening caught our attention. The promotion runs for one week but we arrived four days into the promotion and were told that the lobster dons had all been reserved and there weren't any more for the rest of the week. That was disappointing but we decided to stay and try other dishes. We ordered the Large Premium Hana Don (B02), Soft Shell Crab Don (A08), and Ikayaki (Y13) (grilled whole squid with sweet soy). The green tea we were given was extremely hot. Just FYI that the little mugs are very hot to the touch. Another reviewer mentioned that their tea was never refilled but for us a server came by unprompted to refill tea for whomever needed it. The ikayaki arrived to the table first. I loved how the cherry tomato and lemon wedge were presented on the plate, so cute. The squid was cooked so well. It was still a bit tender and not chewy at all. The sweet soy sauce tasted like teriyaki sauce to me. The only thing was that the squid was not fully cut all the way through so many of the pieces were attached to others. The soft shell crab don is listed on the menu as having two pieces. The waitress explained to me that it means the whole crab was cut into two pieces and not that you only get two pieces haha. A couple of discrepancies with the photo in the menu and what was actually presented -- there didn't seem to be any sauce on the crab on the menu but it came with sauce drizzled all over it and I wasn't a fan of the sauce and there was quite a bit of it. On the menu there was a small piece of tamagoyaki stamped with Hana and flower on it but that didn't translate to the dish I received. In my opinion, there's a lot of rice with the don and we ended up packing up leftovers since we couldn't finish it. The large premium hana don had an assortment of seafood with an abalone in half of its shell. From what I could tell there weren't many duplicates of the seafood in the bowl and my dining companion enjoyed the don. I noticed an interesting thing on the menus. For the lunch donburi menu (available 11:30 am to 3:00 pm) the Chicken Karaage Don (L24) is $14.95 and is served with miso soup or pop. This same dish (A20) in the menu in the binder is $15 and is served with miso soup. I suppose it's better to get it at lunch for five cents less and with a choice of either miso soup or pop. read more
This Fairview Mall location is Hana Don's newest location, with their grand opening just a few months ago. They have both indoor and outdoor patio seatings. The don selection here is excellent. There are regular and premium dons, with all kinds of seafood and vegetables. You can also create your own customized don by selecting from a list of different ingredients. I ordered the Veggie Don, which contained an assortment of vegetables including okra, shiitake mushrooms, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, white radish, avocado, tofu skin (the type used to make inari sushi), and tamago egg. You can make it vegan by ommitting the piece of tamago egg. I added on seared salmon on top of the Veggie Don, which came in 3 thick slices of seared salmon and a bit of red fish roe. My friends ordered the Nagoya Don (chopped toro and seared salmon) and Gyu Don, where you can add the optional melted cheese. We also had a Gold Dragon Roll to share. The sushi roll was good, but it was the dons that stood out more. All dons came with premium Japanese rice and bowl of miso soup. The rice was "premium Japanese" indeed! It was high quality rice. All the ingredients were also high quality, including the fresh vegetables and fish / seafood. Besides the satisfyingly delicious dons with high-quality ingredients, the service was quick and efficient. Food came out pretty fast. read more
Love coming here for dons! Our favourite is the trio toro don (bluefin fatty tuna, medium fatty tuna and chopped fatty tuna) and the Hokkaido don (scallop, ikura and uni). The fish is super fresh and high quality. And the ride itself is exactly how it should be for a restaurant that specializes in dons- it's the perfect texture and flavour to complement the fish!! We've also tried the lobster don but definitely prefer the classic sashimi style dons. The lobster is fully cooked and covered in melted cheese. It's definitely a lot bigger than the other two dons mentioned above so it is more filling. read more

This sushi place at Fairview mall is delicious. They have high quality ingredients and taste great. Their speciality is high end sushi donnuri with a large selection of fish to choose from. You can select their pre made donburri or make your own customized one. Price is a little on the high end , in my opinion it's justified by the fish quality. We ordered the premium Hanna don and takka don. Both were really good and I highly recommend read more
The service was great and a nice location to visit if you fancy shopping before or after at Fairview. The fish was fresh but the flavours were somewhat bland. There is a wide variety of rice bowls and you can even build your own. Their prices are a little bit high for what it is but given the freshness, it's overall a good experience. In general, I would say there are numerous other Japanese restaurants which do sushi and other dishes better but this is an decent experience for dons. read more
My aunt and I were at the Fairview Mall, exploring one of the popular malls in North York. She was visiting Toronto for the first time and wanted to buy some unique shoes and clothes that she won't be able to buy in Korea. After our shopping trip, we wanted to go to a restaurant to end our lovely day. We picked this place because we wanted to try a new place (there was a large sign that indicated that it recently opened!) As soon as we entered, a group of chefs and a friendly waitress welcomed us. The decor was simple yet modern- the walls were white, with touches of red and grey colour. The golden-coloured lighting fixtures added brightness and a modern touch. We decided to order bowls of don (donburi), as it is the restaurant's name. We figured that we can't go wrong if we order dishes that the restaurant specializes in! We ordered two bowls of Hokkaido Don (uni, ikura, Hokkaido scallop, shiitake on premium sushi rice) and Baked mussels with cheese. The bowl came with a miso soup. All of the ingredients were fresh and tasty, we could taste the quality and freshness with each bite! The baked mussels with cheese were fresh and a bit salty. During our meal, our waitress came by a few times to check if we needed anything. If you're looking for fresh quality food, we highly recommend this place! read more

Toronto absolutely loves the Wanjin. It's so delicious. That's it! Newly discovered Japanese ingredients Hana Do look good High! Recommended dishes: Ochoko Set (required): It's really good, and it's only 45 and it's steamed. Eggs, beef rice, Miso, sea. Grass, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. It's gone! Hana Roll (required): The waiter recommended it. I didn't have much hope, but I ate it. I can't stop it after one. It's really good. It's a lot of layers. Rich and bigger than average sushi. Premium Bara Don: It's still high in appearance, all kinds of diced, and sea urchins (no) of average quality, of average taste, not unpleasant but It's not very good either. Canada read more

I have visited this location many times and have not been disappointed once! My go to order is the salmon and avocado don. There is a good balance between everything in this dish, and it has a good amount of delicious salmon sashimi. It has tasted very fresh every single time and I for sure will be back for more in the future! read more

Hana Don offers a variety of Japanese rice bowls, majority with sashimi, similar to chirashi. You can even build your own bowl by choosing the fish and rice topping. The sashimi bowls start at $25. It's a bit pricey for the amount of fish you get. They are thinly sliced and I wish it was thicker cut cause there's a lot more rice than fish. read more
Great restaurant in the Fairview Mall area. Located on the south side by the Tesla Superchargers. Great spot to charge your car and charge your stomach! Excellent food, great quality and excellent service. Thank you! Would definitely return and recommend ! read more

Was craving soup and remembered this ramen joint has been in my "to-try" list for a while. The highlight for me with this place is the washroom, funny enough. I went to wash my hand and the toilet had neon lights and the lid opened up automatically. Only thing missing was a bidet. Other than that, the restaurant has a good size and plenty of seats. One downside would be the location, Kennedy Rd gets extremely busy during rush hour. As for the food, the broth was watery. I'm used to thicker broth for my ramen. The noodles were also not ramen, it wasn't yellow. More like egg noodles. The sushi quality is average.... I've had worse. Another thing to mention is they didn't give plates. The other good thing about this place is the service. The staff is very quick and helpful. Overall, it's good to finally cross this off my list. read more
