Cartilage karaage
Tony O.

Hashi Izakaya is an incredible restaurant. The ambiance is very nice. Their cartilage karaage is a must try.

Tuna tartar
Carmen G.

A great cozy spot for late night drinks and eats! Swung by here around 9-10pm with a group of 8 and was seated immediately. They had a lot of open tables. It's a Japanese izakaya/ bar so food and drinks are pretty standard here. We got the takowasabi, tuna tartar, fries (can't go wrong with these), pork jowl, all to share with the table. Great nibbling items while having a few drinks with friends. You can get full bottles of soju here, pitchers of beer or cocktails. I opted for the yuzu slushy which tasted so good and sweet, just the way I liked it. Can't really taste the alcohol at al. It's quite dark inside so make sure to ask for a table lamp. We noticed that other tables had one but ours didn't, and the lamp really made a difference in being able to see the food, drinks and one another. Come for some late night drinks or snacks if you're in the area. A great option.

A great place to go with friends! The vibes of this izakaya is also really nice, and good service! I've tried a couple things from their menu (as seen in the pictures). My favourites have to be the yaki mentaiko, yukke, and bulgogi tacos. I like the combination of the different ingredients in the yaki mentaiko dish. Yukke is the beef tartare - it is so delicious, the sweet Asian pear and beef combination is a must try! The bulgogi tacos tasted so fresh and the portions are pretty big.

Pork belly
Daniel P.

I went their with my friend for a little birthday dinner on a Friday night (October 20th, 2023). The experience was mediocre to "I won't be going back". NOTE: I have been to several Izakayas in Toronto and can therfore compare some dishes. SERVICE: It was a busy night and it seemed the waitresses were understaffed so waiting time was pretty long. FOOD: I had a salmon sushi roll, a tiny piece of pork belly and a tiny piece of grilled or seared black cod. The pork should have been softer. It should melt on your tongue but it didn't. I needed to take one chop stick into each hand and pick the piece apart. The salmon roll was way too big. It didn't fit in my mouth so I tried to bite it in half and that caused a disaster. That thing fell apart of course. Everyone who has tried to do this knows what I mean. The black cod was tender but oh lord that tiny piece had many bones in it! It felt as if it had more bones than the entire fish. That thing cost $18 and I was constantly pulling bones out of my mouth (see picture). That is not supposed to be like that. Best thing comes last. When I told the waitress about the bones and that the fish wasn't enjoyable she just said okay, smiled and took off. That was a first time experience for me but because it's Toronto nothing really surprises me here anymore. Expensive low quality food wherever you go. RESULT: The prices were fairly high considering it's not a luxurious restaurant and the food is not even that great (some dishes are okay though). Mediocre food, lame service, high prices. This is not a good combination and I won't go back. Cheers

Karage
Veronica C.

There's a special that if you order a pitcher of beer, customer can get a certain item of food 50% off. So I ordered a pitcher of Asahi and a karage and a pork belly to share with three others. The pitcher of beer came first with a glass of snacks. The karage was amazing. They were cut in bite size. I especially liked the sauce that came with the karage because it consisted of a Yuzu flavour. There were plenty of chicken karage pieces in an order. I was able to get 50% for this karage because I had ordered a pitcher of beer. I also ordered a pork belly. It looked so elegant and was garnished with a leaf on top. It was seated in mashed potatoes and the sauce. It tasted sweet. Not the usual taste I used to have. The pork belly had layers of fats and meat and it was not too fat or greasy. It was cooked nicely and it was presented elegantly.

My first patio experience this year was at Hashi! I love how they take reservations so we don't need to stand around waiting for a table on a Friday night. I went as a small party of 3 at prime dinner time and we got a nice table outside. The waitresses were attentive and the food was great! The only bummer was the limit their sake flight to one flight per table. We were hoping to order a flight each so we get to sample their flavoured sake since they're the size of a shot only. We ended up ordering one flight and had to take a sip and rotate the flavours. We did ended up other drinks since one flight isn't enough for 3 people on a Friday night!

don't now what's so special about hashi besides that typicak izakaya hangout spot with loud music and dim lighting. Would pass on the food, the tartare is average and the roe is not fresh. Not pictured, the Oden soup is also average and you could make it better with a frozen h mart pack

Hashi don
Holly K.

I came here for dinner tonight and it did not disappoint. When you walk in you automatically feel very welcomed by the servers who greet you right away. Service here was great, as the server was attentive and you could tell she was genuinely open to helping customers. In addition to their regular menu, they have a combo menu of about five items which are included with side dishes, miso soup and salad. I got the Hashi don, which was a chirashi bowl (diced sashimi on rice). Everything was really nicely presented and tasted fresh. The salad had a citrusy taste and the miso soup was flavourful. It's the perfect amount to fill you up. My table also ordered a plate of volcano rolls to share. Though it was pricey ($17 for 8 rolls), it was made with high quality and I was really impressed with it. The rest of the menu items are your typical offerings most izakaya restaurants offer. It is pretty dimly lit here, but I didn't mind that at all as it was spacious and a nice set up with booths and benches. Since this place is located right at Yonge and finch, parking is easy to find as there is a parking lot 2 minutes walking distance away with plenty of spaces. Whether you're coming here for a night out or an evening dinner, this place is great and caters to both. Expect the food to be a bit more pricey here but in my opinion you get what you pay for, which is a higher quality of food.

Food was ok. Ordered the dinner set meal which came with miso soup, salad, and two sides. The miso soup was good, and the two sides were interesting. I think one of them was mixed fermented root vegetables and the other was a slice of beet that had been marinated in something and was packed full of flavour. The unagi was pretty good as was the beef don. The karage chicken was bad. Not crispy at all. For large groups it is automatic 15% gratuity after tax which makes sense. But it wasn't ideal that they could not do separate bills. They said at most they could split the bill into 4 - meaning only 4 payments. We ended up just paying the whole amount on one credit card and will each have to emt or pay back that one person. Not the most convenient, and not worth the fuss considering all the other good food options in the area.

Always have great experience at this Izakaya. I usually come to this place to grab drinks with friends but it was nice to have dinner here as well! I ordered 32pcs in their maki set menu, and it was more than enough for 3 people!! Overall service is awesome, you feel very welcomed when you walk in. Throughout the night, our cups were always filled with water and they were very quick with serving food. Of course there are better sushi restaurants, but as Izakaya, food wasn't bad. It was a great atmosphere to grab food, drinks and social with friends.

Location is excellent at Finch and Yonge. Foodwise, it's about average. Price is definitely more expensive than I think it should be. I spent about $42, taxes and tips included. The service is average.

BBQ Beef
Johnny L.

We already had dinner but felt like some Izakaya so we dropped by this place for a quick snack. We went on a Tuesday night so it wasn't crowded at all. We ordered the following dishes: - salmon tataki - spicy tuna roll - BBQ beef - chicken karaage Nothing really stood out except the BBQ beef. It was super tender, very well seasoned and had a smokey taste to it which was very nice. We would go back just that dish alone. The chicken karaage could use some work though. It looked crispy but it wasn't crispy at all. I guess they didn't do the double fry trick or something. Might come back in the future on an empty stomach to try out other dishes.

The first to arrive was the Spicy Sashimi Salad. This had diced sashimi and greens with a sweet-chili dressing. While I found the greens to be very fresh in this salad, I didn't think that it was overall that spectacular. But then again, it's really just sashimi salad so unless there was something really extra about it, it was mediocre. The Salmon Natto arrived with seaweed on the side. It came with diced cucumber and a quail egg yolk. This Salmon Natto was a smaller in size in comparison to others I've had in the past but was more flavourful (not as bland). I remember that there was nothing too special about it either. The Salmon Hako Sushi from the Teishoku Meal Set was a torched salmon box-sushi. The set arrived on a tray with miso soup, salad, rice, and two side dishes. I was really impressed with this Salmon Hako Sushi! It was pressed sushi which meant it was "box-shaped" and was really delicious! There was something about it that was so tasty, soft, and done really well. This was the best dish of the night. Although I didn't initially have a good meal overall, I think that Hashi Izakaya has some really good menu items. After going there, I realized that I should have tried their "Creamy Pork Belly" dish as I heard that one was really good. I don't think I'll return any time soon though because I thought their prices were a little high and there are just so many restaurants in the neighbourhood of Yonge and Finch that I would want to try something else next time.

You walk up a goldcolored hallway and 2 flights of stairs before reaching the restaurant. The host stand is farther inside.....which will make sense once you are physically in the space. The workers were very friendly and funny. I had a great time bantering with them. My friend from 8th grade and I reunited for the first time in 21 years over dinner. This was one of her picks, and I am deeply grateful she chose it. Appetizers: Rock Shrimp, Fatty Tuna Nigiri, Crispy Rice Tuna Entrée: Jidori Chicken Drinks: Sangria, Champagne Dessert: Yuzu Citrus The rock shrimp was delicious. We loved the sauce it was tossed in. My friend is not usually a shrimp fan but she polished it off for me. The fatty tuna nigiri was great, as expected, and the crispy rice tuna was phenomenal. The Jidori chicken was delightful. We loved the sauce, and the mashed potatoes were pillowy. I did not have the sangria but my friend said it was the best she had ever had. The yuzu citrus dessert came with strawberry gelato and cookie crumbs. The gelato was not overly sweet and the yuzu was perfectly tart. They also put a little "Reunited" note on the dessert plate, which we both thought was such a sweet touch. Definitely pricey, but definitely worth it. Recommended it to my Toronto friends, I really want to go back and get that king crab rice.

It's a gorgeous setting and has a complete vibe of luxury. I thought the tacos were yummy, but the meat didn't feel special like you expect when you hear waygu. It also wasn't as earthy as I've experienced with waygu, but I didn't really mind that. I also got the Brother From Another Mother roll and really enjoyed that. All The dishes are very aesthetic and enjoyable. I was surprised at the end with a little birthday treat. The service was attentive but not overbearing, and I'd definitely go back.

It's rare to see a Korean restaurant so encouraging of refilling side dishes. I got the seafood pancake which was the crispiest I have ever had. It was also really tasty but I later suspect they use MSG for seasoning which makes it so good. It was really big though and we had leftovers to bring home. The soup and rice was also nice but not a lot of meat. The food took some time to come out but it was busy times while we were there. The price is also a standout, it's so affordable compared to other places. I highly recommend this place and will go back!

The staff helped us through the menu and gave us recommendations, and was so kind and fun to chat with! I had gotten the chicken katsu and my friend the beef tartar bibimbap. Both came with amazing portions and we had food to spare. The katsu was perfectly crispy, and the house made sauce was perfectly seasoned and amazing! It also came with apples and salad on the side which was a perfect pallet cleanser. The bibimbap had a great variety of toppings and everything was seasoned well. When thoroughly mixed, everything bite had a bit of everything and it was delicious. On top of the food u get when you order, the meal also comes with 6 different sides. There was 3 different kimchi, braised potatoes and 2 others that I'm not sure what they are, but they were delicious. My favourite was the potatoes and kimchi! Overall this is an amazing place to bring those close to you for delicious korean food!
