    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!

    Green dragon set $19

    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.

    Tsukiji Don

    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.

There's no reservation system but they do have a waitlist on Yelp which gets you in line (highly recommended). First to know is you can't pay with credit card here--there's an ATM in the front of the restaurant. As far as the restaurant goes, it was fantastic from start to finish. Our table of 4 was seated and serviced by 1 main staff member, Lydia, who talked us through the whole menu and ordering system, recommended some great starts and then kept us frequently updated all throughout dinner. She checked up on us along with her assistants who were also bringing items and servicing the table. The food quality was excellent with juicy and flavorful cuts of beef along with the shrimp, pork, veggies, side dishes/ponchon, and rice--it kept coming consistently. Grill changes were frequent as well. The atmosphere is lively and there are a lot of servers so you aren't trying get someone's attention all the time. But it doesn't feel too cramped at the same time. As it is AYCE, everyone in our group left full of course and enjoyed each course. I liked the almond tofu at the end! ----TL;DR---- Pros: great selection of meats, quality was top notch, huge portions of course as it is AYCE, service was prompt and all staff were really friendly. Cons: no reservations so need to be on a waitlist. The no credit card system is a bit of an inconvenience. Bottom Line: we loved it--definitely would go back again and enjoy more of their selections! You have to try them if you like meat and AYCE!

We walked into a lively, casual space that works especially well for groups, celebrations, or any meal where you want to take your time and enjoy the experience. The energy in the room is high, with the sound of grilling and conversation filling the space, and the table setup encourages a longer, more relaxed pace than a typical restaurant meal. The biggest highlight is the meat selection. The quality is consistently strong, with different cuts and marinades that give each plate its own flavor. The miso steak is one of the standout items, with a really good balance of savory, slightly sweet, and rich flavors. The marinated meats are where Gyubee really shines, coming seasoned well and developing a great char from grilling at the table. We worked through a range of options including kalbi, hanger steak, and sausage, mixing and matching as we went. The fun part is being able to control the cooking yourself, whether you prefer a lighter sear or a deeper grilled flavor, and the grill setup makes it easy to cook at your own pace. The sides and extras are also better than what we usually expect from an all you can eat BBQ spot. The sushi was surprisingly enjoyable, with smaller portions that made it easy to try different rolls without filling up too quickly. The bibimbap is another good addition, especially when paired with the grilled meats. Takoyaki and other sides helped break up the meal and added variety beyond just ordering meat after meat. The spread is broad enough that you can build a well rounded meal without feeling like you are stuck in a single category. Service was a strong part of the experience. Even with the restaurant being busy, the staff were attentive and checked in regularly to make sure we had what we needed. They kept the table moving, helped with ordering, and made the process feel smooth despite the constant flow of guests. The wait can be the biggest challenge, especially during dinner hours, but the service once seated helped make up for it. The staff also handled the high turnover of tables well, keeping the pace steady without making us feel rushed. Gyubee is one of those places where the experience is just as important as the food. The combination of grilling at the table, quality meats, good sides, and a fun group atmosphere makes it a great choice for a longer meal with friends or family. It is worth planning ahead for the wait because the meal itself delivers the kind of relaxed, interactive dining experience that makes you want to come back. The format encourages you to slow down, cook at your own pace, and enjoy the meal as a shared activity rather than just a quick dinner.

    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.

The ambience of the restaurant is chill, plenty of seating. It can get loud when it's full, but that's the vibe. I was stuck between the sweet shrimp bowl and the uni bowl....
