    The service may be slow but the food is still sublime. Offering a good Summerlicious menu.

    Sushi platter 4/5

    Food 4/5 Service 4/5 Vibe 5/5 I personally will get this place 4/5 I think it's super aesthetic and the food is also very good. Some dishes may not be the best but I think overall everything tastes great. I personally recommend the tuna tartare, tempura bundle and their karage. Their tacos were not bad, but I just don't like how much imitation crab they put in with the salmon or the Tuna one. If they make it without or less imitation crab, I would love them a lot more.. Overall, I think it's a really cute spot for date night or some cute pics.

    Had the opportunity to try out this sushi restaurant in North York and their Winterlicious menu. Starting at $45, it offered a three course meal dessert which was a great price as most things here are $20+ min. Went with a friend so got to try two different sets from their Winterlicious menu. I ate the following: Appetizers Chawanmushi - steamed egg Mini taco sampler Second course Salmon sashimi Yusuf salmon & double shrimp oshi Third course Sapporo style curry teishoku Sushi set teishoku- assorte nigir set with bluefish tuna, salmon, bream bass etc Dessert Hay Cheesecake Matcha strawberry tiramisu My favourite from the three course meal got to be the main courses. The sushi set had a variety of super fresh Nigri and sashimi, including bluefish tuna, salmon, bream, bass etc. The curry teishoku was so good and flavorful. This curry was served with a super tender chicken thigh with an assortment of seasonal vegetables ( lotus root, mushroom etc). This made the curry super rich and flavourful. Special shout out the Hay Cheesecake - not too heavy and sweet, yet still rich. A must try at this restaurant. Overall, this a very stylish restaurant, comfortable seating with great service. Parking is found on the streets or nearby parking lots. Despite Winterlicious being over, this place does serve fine japanese cuisine and sushi and would love to come back to check out their regular menu as well!

    OOooOoO boy. I came here years ago when it first opened and got a sashimi platter. IT WAS A NOGO. YEARS later this guy renovated a bigger spot. Must be good right? I get EVERYTHING but sashimi and it blew my MOONSWATCH ODD. Sushi taco. Pasta. Torchedrolls. Trifecta. Spend 100$ for two and u leave satisfied.

    I recently came here again for dinner with some friends! It's a solid and safe spot for sushi. I also tried their miso pasta and it was really creamy. Their sushi taco was crispy and so filling. I got a sushi platter this time to share, it was perfect for a group of four. My least favourite was the deep fried roll. The service is pretty good. The staff are very friendly. I love the tea they serve as well. The space is pretty spacious with comfy seating and a coat rack to hang up your jackets.

    I have been loving Hay Sushi lately. We dined there twice in the past month and it has yet to disappoint! The restaurant is spacious and minimalistic and I haven't had a problem getting a seat without a reservation on weeknights. Some of my favourite dishes are: - Creamy Miso Pasta ($23): The sauce is creamy and flavourful and the masago adds a small crunch. My partner liked it so much we have set out to make our own miso pasta at home - Nigiri 12 ($34): I have yet to visit on a weekend so I haven't tried the Omakase Premium Nigiri but the Nigiri 12 is great! The sashimi is fresh and I particularly enjoyed the squid, scallop, ikura and ebi. - Yuzu Salmon Oshi Sushi ($6): The perfect torched bite! 2 pieces go by fast so be prepared to order more

    Hay Sushi is my go-to sushi place! I have been here 5 times, and I love it even more since the renovation. The new lighting makes it cozy, the decor is more elegant and they offer more tables than the original one. The fish is always fresh. I always order set dinner menu B (chef selection), as it came with sashimi and sushi. The staff is super friendly, lovely and helpful. There's one time, my friend and I ordered tuna sashimi, it supposed was 5 pieces, but the staff added extra one piece to us for free. If you're looking for great sushi, check it out!

    I did give 4/5 I've always ordered takeout from here and decided to dine here with a friend for birthday. There's alot of seating and bar seating, the interior is simple but really modern. The service was really nice and I would say we didn't wait too long for our food. The server was very knowledgeable and super nice. I would recommend getting the platters and we got the B one. It was a pretty good mix to try everything. I do not recommend the crispy tuna roll. the cream cheese is weird. the miso pasta was bomb, as someone who doesn't like pasta. the shrimp a mushroom were a nice touch. Spicy salmon taco was good as well. FYI, I usually get the salmon poke for takeout and it's the best thing ever so would recommend getting that :) also a downside: No free parking depending on the time but have to pay green P

    This review is from two visits, the first one I ordered sushi and udon, and the second was sushi and fusion pasta. The sushi was delicious but their creamy miso seafood pasta was the highlight. We got the weekend sushi special it had premium fish. The creamy miso pasta came with generous amount of shrimp and it was plump and cooked perfectly. The udon soup was really basic and i wouldn't recommend it over the pasta. Lobster sushi was huge, along with the other black dragon roll that isn't pictured. The rice to filling ratio is my favourite, minimal rice and more filling. Place is always packed but we walked in both visit and got seats at the bar right away.

    Cute newly renovated modern sushi spot in North York Area. Believe they just moved a few stores down and the space is minimal and nice. Came here during the summer month and the AC was blasting in here - a little too cold if I'm being honest. But I came here with one thing in mind only which was their nori tacos. Here's what I thought: Spicy salmon nori taco 5/5 - Came with mayo, salmon, crab meat, green onion and cucumber. All wrapped in a fried nori taco shell. I loved this! The flavours and textures were to die for. Tuna nori taco 5/5 - Similar to the spicy salmon nori taco, I loved the texture of this as well. Big chunks of tuna pieces and was absolutely delicious. Creamy miso pasta 4/5 - Delicious, creamy and cooked perfectly with their pasta. It comes with black tiger shrimps and topped with nori and scallion. Truffle aburi 3/5 - This was chef's selection of ten pieces of nigiri, lightly seared with torch and topped with house made truffle aburi sauce. This was definitely a miss since you can't taste the truffle at all. It was good but nothing amazing imo. Overall, I can't wait to come back for the nori tacos they have here. It was absolutely divine and worth a try!

    Had their Winterlicious menu and it was absolutely amazing! Angela was the cutest and friendliest server/hostess. Super cozy and perfect for a night out!

    First time dining in! Venue is cute, and sophisticated. Fish quality is great for non-omakase. If you're wanting value, I would recommend going to an ayce place instead. This place is great for catching up with friends or a casual date night. Lunch menu is only available during the weekday, so if you're coming on the weekend for lunch expect the regular dinner menu. Their rolls looked great, would definitely come back to try it.

    Restaurant design is very stylish. Choice of chairs are very comfortable and very good looking. The menu covers are made of leather, which tells you that this restaurant pays attention to detail. Level of lighting is perfect for date night. not bright and not harsh, it creates a good mood for relaxation. We went for miso seafood pasta and steak tacos. the miso sauce had perfect consistancy that coats the with just the right amount. The spaghetti was cooked slightly al dente which makes it have some texture to the bite and not all soft. Comes with 4 big shrimp (makes it good for sharing because of even numbers) and some sliced button mushrooms. The steak tacos come with 2 per order (also good for sharing) the shell was made of thick crispy seaweed in the shape of a traditional taco shell. Filling from top to bottom was thinly sliced purple onions and chopped green scallions, then the diced steak was seasoned, charred and cooked well done, and the bottom layer was sushi rice, no sauces but still packing lots of flavour and not dry either. This is the type of restaurant i would keep coming back to just for the atmosphere and the prices are good relative to the quality of food.

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.
