Hamaru Sushi - North York

The fish is always fresh at this restaurant. The food is delicious. The service may be slow, but the staff are very friendly and helpful.

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

I have tried sushi at various restaurants in the Greater Toronto Area, and this particular location definitely deserves recognition. The ingredients are consistently fresh, the menu options are fantastic, the service is good, and you can tell that there is great care and attention to detail. A sign of a good restaurant is when everything runs smoothly, the staff are in good spirits, and the customers are happy. It is evident that the chefs put a lot of effort into meal preparation. Even if you have similar ingredients at another restaurant, the results are not the same, and the taste of the food speaks for itself. Additionally, the prices are very reasonable. I am impressed, it is a wonderful place to enjoy a meal.

As a Vancouverite, I was skeptical about eating sushi in Toronto, but my friend assured me it was always good at this restaurant, and he was right: it was some of the best sushi I have ever eaten!I had never had Butterfish sashimi and it blew my mind! ? The texture was, like the name suggests, like butter so soft and unctuous! Mild in the fish sense, yet very flavourful, almost like... I don 't even know how to describe it I am HOOKED!We also had Hamachi and Yellowfin sashimi; both were excellent!The assorted tempura was absolutely perfect: hot, very crispy, perfect amount of crunch. The prawns were so tender and juicy! The veggies were perfectly cooked (at many places, yam tempura is often terribly undercooked, IMO).The other home run was the Diablo Roll, YUM!!! All the rice was perfectly moist and tender very fresh; the flavour combination was unexpected and sooo delicious! I wouldn 't have thought of putting pickled jalapeños in a sushi roll it was subtle and punchy, all at the same time. ?Our server was very polite and helpful; she left us to talk and didn 't bother us every 5 minutes, but seemed to be right there when we needed her.I will definitely be back hopefully to meet my old friend there again next time!Parking: Their lot really starts to fill up, just like their restaurant, as the main dinner crowd shows up.

The tasty dishes and focus on small details enhanced the overall dining experience.
