Hamaru Sushi

The decor is nice, napkins are real cloth, the food is good and the servings are generous. Service is attentive without being intrusive.

Very fresh fish every time. Delicious food. Slow service but very friendly and helpful staff

Very nice neighborhood restaurant. The food is fresh with excellent service. One of the best in the area.

Very bad quality and customer service. I had been to this restaurant twice. The first time, on a house special roll, the jalapeño on top of the roll was wrapped with raw flour (not fried thru). The second time, the plastic wrap outside the crabmeat was not taken off. This is unbelievable!

I ordered take out from here today. Sadly it was not a good experience. The japchae was old and mushy and disgusting. Could not eat it. And the crunch roll was unimpressive. 8 rolls, half of them had to be thrown out because they were covered in wasabi for some reason? Not sure why! But I am sure that I won’t be returning here.

One of the staff told us we couldn’t sit on the bar chair and the rest of the chairs if we wanted takeout. Then, I told her we don’t want to because the chair down the hallway is too small and uncomfortable for two people to sit. She said you will mess the table and lie to us that they are going to mob the floor now so don’t sit there. In fact, nobody mob or clean the area within the 20 mins when we are waiting for the food. She keep arguing with us even after I told her we won’t mess the table so you don’t need to clean it again until next customer. She looked reluctant and said something about us to the other staffs in Korean. As well, nobody asks us if we want anything to drink while we wait, as it’s a basic courtesy a restaurant or staff should exhibit. A warning there for those planning to order takeout.

Loved this place! We are working in the area and wanted some sushi. We hit the jackpot! We got take out but eating in looked very pleasant as well.

Thank you for the yummy sushi! We will be back.

I live close by so wanted to try this place out. Spoke on the phone about the menu for a takeout order. The person i spoke with (i believe it was the owner/manager by the tone) made me feel stupid for not knowing the difference between their deluxe party tray to a sushi, sashimi, maki tray. Both consists of same. She continues to be temperamental and concluded with party tray is premium fish! And also the best part is "its not available tonight" after 15 min of listening to this person giving me the best impression over the phone. Thank you for the info, i will write a paper about what premium fish is before ordering at this place.

I had been coming to Hamaru sushi for over eight years and have been impressed by their quality of food, service, and friendly staff. Unfortunately, the ownership has changed in the past year and nothing has stayed the same other than the name. The food is lower quality, the ownership extremely rude, and the prices have increased beyond reason.

I totally understand with high inflation that restaurant owners need to increase prices, but decreasing your portions in half and increasing your prices at the same time is unreasonable! This place is not worth your time or money, a lot better options in area for sushi.

Very friendly and even better is the food. A very good fish quality for a reasonable price. A local gem.

Excellent! There are a lot of sushi restaurants in our area and I can't believe I haven't tried this lovely gem until last night. Very friendly staff! For takeout we ordered the large maki, sushi & sashimi party platter. It was fresh, delicious & plentiful. Their sashimi was the bright star of this order. We also ordered the Dragon roll platter that was very good too. This will now be our new go to sushi restaurant. Move over Taro's Fish.

지인과 다녀온 욕밀앤 레슬리에 있는 스시집 하마루.
신선하고 깨끗하며 정갈한 맛에 빠지다.
음식의 진심이 느껴지는 셰프의 손길에 행복했던 점심이었다.
I went to this place with a friend of mine whichis at york mills and Leslie and it wasbso clean and delicate. I was able to tell that the chef was workimg hard and cared about making of the food and I was really happy to be there. This place us phenomenal

Great value for money, very convenient, nice and quiet restaurant, I love coming here when I am busy and just want to get out for a quick date dinner with my partner, the fish has never disappointed us.

Came here last night with a friend as our celebratory night out for restaurant re-opening. We had the spicy salmon maki, butter fish, hamachi and fried banana + green tea ice cream for dessert. The sushi was fresh, and arrived timely. Service and ambiance was 10/10. So happy we found this gem!

Giving it 5 stars for the value. Sushi is really good considering it’s your local neighborhood joint. It’s been around for a while, survived the pandemic, and they’re still going strong. Definitely supporting small, local businesses. Good service as well.

Long wait to get your food if your dining in. Almost a hour and still no food or update. We ended up changing our order to take out. Take out experience was ok. Recommend to prioritize patrons who are sitting inside rather focus on the take out.

WILL NEVER PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN. Ordered take out at 6pm. Told it will take 2 hours to be ready. Fine, placed order, went to pick up at 8pm and was told they missed the order. Ok, happens sometimes. Asked how long to make order? Was told I needed to wait another 30 minutes. I asked for them to make it right away but was told they had to make other orders first. They made no attempt to rectify the situation. Didn't even offer a discount. Not how you would like to treat your customers especially during a pandemic. Would give 0 stars if possible.

5 star service, great, fresh food, and a very clean environment. Very home-y feel to it with very friendly staff.

They were really busy on New year's Eve and our order was very delayed, but it was hard to get upset because they didn't compromise on quality. This place offers the best sushi in North York, and a total hidden gem

So glad to have found a good sushi place nearby! Tried their chirashi the first time we visited and found the quality and variety of fish to be very good. Second time, we ordered a tray - the tuna was a beautiful and radiant red, and all of the fish had a lovely texture - not soft and mushy, but firm and satisfying.
We will be coming back soon!

Ordered the salmon teriyaki dinner box set here's my thoughts on everything:

Tempura: crunchy and light, shrimp was fresh, veggies were cooked perfectly.both my wife and I loved it.

Salmon: crispy outside, fluffy and light on the inside. Thicker pieces than other restaurants which made it taste much better.

Salad: fresh veggies, the dressing was almost more akin to a vinaigrette, very light and tasty.

Sushi: Hands down the best sushi I've ever had. Period. The rice had so much flavor and the fish was incredibly fresh. It just melted in my mouth. You can tell the chefs are absolutely masters of their craft and care deeply about the quality.

Overall the portion size was good for the price, the food quality was outstanding, the atmosphere was great, our server was great. My wife didn't want any shrimp tempora but when they substituted the veggies they even included a variety of extra veggies in it which no other restaurant has done for us before. We will absolutely be going back.

An outstanding sushi experience at the heart of Toronto. I had a chance to visit it with my friend recently. It had a friendly, pleasant, and quiet atmosphere. The waiters were very friendly.

I decided to go for a sushi and sashimi dinner combo. The presentation was lovely, with sushi and sashimi arranged beautifully.

The peak of the evening was trying tuna sashimi. The fish melted in my mouth. It was so tender and nice that I can’t find the right words to describe it but advise you to visit this place.

Enjoy and stay safe!
