I always love going to the downtown location but this was a nice change. The staff at this location were super friendly and welcoming. They always checked on us throughout the meal and were very courteous. The presentation at Hana Don is what I appreciate most. Tasty and visually appealing. A great spot for fresh fish. Food shown in photos: - salmon avocado don w/ mackerel set - seafood chazuke - karaage oyako don - passion fruit matcha

TDLR: Delicious high-quality food made by chefs that care about their craft. Peaceful dining environment that feels more authentically Japanese. This was my first time eating at Hana Don and as someone that absolutely loved sushi, seafood and Japanese cuisine, I was pleasantly surprised. I was worried that since it was located outside a major shopping mall that the food and environment would not be “authentic” and just another Americanized restaurant. But I am happy to say that it was not the case! I ordered the Hana Don special, the Katsu set, and also the yuzu scallop sashimi appetizer. All ingredients were fresh, flavourful, and served at perfect temperature. Presentation was great. I would love to come back in the future!!!

We ordered the Large premium Hana Don and the Hokkaido Don. They were amazing and delicious. Presentation was great and the seafood was very fresh. Their complimentary green tea was authentic and on point

The team that served us was amazing and incredibly polite. They were very attentive to our needs and were also gentle when handling our table and its cluster of orders. Speaking of orders, we ordered: Ikayaki(GRILLED SQUID FOR THE WIN), Salmon Avocado Don& Mackerel(great taste from the soft texture of the salmon and how the avocado made it very hearty. The mackerel was superb too, not over cooked and not too salty. Just right.) And we also had an Unatama( nice and tender eels) & Sushi. I did a small side of veggie tempura too, for a little ASMR of crunches ahahaha. Regardless of what you pick, you'll definitely enjoy the colors of the dish and how the flavors complement each item.

Friendly and attentive staff. Sashimi fresh and Eel was flavorful. I wished their lunch menu included a dessert/ ice cream too, besides only miso soup.

This restaurant is located at Fairview Mall with a separate door entrance towards the parking lot. We came here for a little girl's birthday dinner. This restaurant did not charge us for cutting the cake. The staff are nice and helpful.

Great Japanese restaurant. It is hard to find a good Japanese restaurant option nowadays that isn't AYCE. This place is clean, has good service, great food, and is reasonably priced. Being located just outside Fairview Mall, plenty of parking and even very TTC friendly. Definitely worth checking out.
