Hina Sushi

I always enjoy my meals here and after a day at work, this is my personal reward for hard work!!! I lovvvvve HiNa restaurant!!! And NOW… open Monday’s too!!! Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

Best a-​la-​carte in the area. We ordered the love boat and it came decorated with flowers and beautiful, skillfully cut sushi shapes including a sashimi butterfly. The soup and salad were well balanced. Service was attentive too. Can’t wait to com back again.

«Excellent sushi, in a small comfortable setting»
The name of this restaurant is called Hi-​Na, which comes from a Japanese word that means «small, adorable». This is an appropriate name for this Japanese Restaurant. After getting attitude and lack of clear attention from Momiji on Bloor, we went to Hi-​Na and were pleasantly surprised to find a small, but clean and comfortable environment with great service and a wide selection of sushi and other Japanese dishes. Not Korean, and Thai and Chinese… just Japanese!
There were only 2 other people there when we arrived around 6:30pm however by 8:00pm the place was half full. The first great thing about this place is you sit where you want. I love that! Then the service is humble and efficient. I love that! We kept hearing a whistling sound every now and then and when we asked the waitress, she said it was the Boss’s phone. She mentioned it to the Boss/​Sushi chef and shortly thereafter, the waitress came over with some maki rolls she said were «courtesy of the Boss». Nice touch.
The nigiri sushi is fresh and served on a boat with a candle wrapped in cucumber and real flowers in a cup next to the wasabi and ginger. The Golden Crunch roll is excellent and the Seafood Udon was served in a hot stone bowl and it was hot and delicious with lobster and assorted seafood. A great tasting soup at only $ 14.
We were greeted with a complimentary roll and water with lemon in nice glasses. In addition… finally a small Japanese Restaurant with a clean bathroom! I believe this place is not well known but will be soon. It is located on the Queensway just west of Royal York Road. There is lots of parking in the area.
My note to the restaurant, please play the music a little louder so that the individual conversations people are having, are not heard. That is about all I can say regarding improvements that Hi-​Na needs.

Very good, solid sushi joint. Getting a three star just because there’s nothing particularly standout, but the maki rolls are very good, quality of the sushi is great, decent value for the price, and really no specific complaints. Just overall 3 to 4 star rating for a great every day sushi dinner.
The items we got: the spicy salmon and spicy tuna, average to better-​than-​average for a pretty standard roll choice. The spicy dynamite roll, very tasty, flavorful. And the smokey roll, wrapped in seaweed, but really nicely balanced with fish, rice and holiday gift wrap… One feature, the sashimi combination platter — delicious, and better than most sashimi since it tasted just so damn fresh. The big feature of this place is the size of the maki rolls. Ginormous. Not super cheap, but you can probably order 75% as much as somewhere else and be totally stuffed.

A friend of mine introduced Hi Na to me a couple of years ago and I’ve been championing this venue ever since. Their prices (for Toronto sushi) is borderline pricey, however, for the quality of the fish you receive — it’s well worth the money — and then some. Hi Na is located west of the Downtown core (Etobicoke/​Toronto) in Mimico, which is an up and very coming location for more quaint and higher end gastro pubs. It’s not quite there yet in terms of back to back restaurants, but it’s slowly getting there.
The service is standard for Japanese resto as they are very courteous and respectful. The Lobster, Spider and Unagi Dragon rolls are delicious. Quite frankly, all their rolls are above the norm in terms of quality, taste and freshness. They are one of the few that serves great sushi, sashimi, cooked and specialty items that are of all high quality.
If you haven’t been to Hi Na’s before and you are a fan of quality fish — without paying the prices of Ki and Hiro’s downtown… then this is definitely worth a trip!
You get what you pay for… and then some.

Sushi was good, presentation was excellent but I prefer fast service vs fresh flowers displayed on my plate. Nice, quiet place. 2 special rolls for $ 30.00.
You be the judge.

My hubby and I found this place while trying to wait out the evening rush hour. We ordered the Hina Sashmi special and Dynamite roll. Each piece melted in your mouth. Great service, reasonable price and large portion. Very well presented dishes and quite an extensive menu for a Japanese restaurant. Can’t wait to be back to try the other dishes.

Excellent service, delicious good and very polite staff. Worth giving a shot. We ordered Udon Noodle Soup, sushi platter and salmon platter. Salmon was very fresh and the rolls were very well made. The Udon soup is definitely worth a recommendation.

My friend and I just had dinner here and not only was the food delicious but the service was excellent and so was the décor. They have definitely elevated themselves above and beyond the typical Japanese restaurant. My only complaint is that they don’t offer brown rice which would have been a nice addition. I will definitely be going back!

Let me first say that the service is excellent here. The food is also excellent. The presentation of the dishes is excellent. Just go now.
We tried the volcano torch, ss roll, spider roll, lobster roll, orangeville roll, and the sashimi platter. Te portions are huge. They also gave us two extra pieces of sashimi. Couldn’t be happier. The portions are quite large also.

Hi Na is a very sweet little restaurant and the food is delicious, affordable, and carefully created and plated by the chef. The best casual sushi restaurant in the area for sure, considering others on Queensway and Bloor St!!! Everything is delicious.

Food-​wise? Same freshness as my usual places in ‘ssauga (Hinote, Sushi Park).
Plating? More attention is paid on this front. So that’s something that you’ll definitely notice!
Service? Fine, no compaints. Even received some sort of complimentary spicy roll with crab, tobiko, avocado in a rice paper (2pcs) which was a nice touch.
Price? Uh… here is where you’ll notice that Hina is on the pricier side, especially considering the area — with not much happening. «Special Rolls» (think: sauces, deep fried) were at least $ 12, some handrolls were $ 6/​ea, & dinner entrées were at least $ 18 – 20.
Hint: If you’re in the area, stop by for LUNCH to get a sense for the food. And if you like the food, check them out for dinner!

Hina is so… Hina (the Japanese word for small/​cute)!
Walking in for the first time, the place felt classy and intimate, but still homey. I ordered a dinner combo with a salad, big ol’ bowl of udon and the A&S (avocado and salmon) dragon roll. Everything was very rich in taste, and the presentation was top notch. The sushi chefs here are really good at what they do. The shiitake mushrooms that came with my meal were mind-​blowingly good.
I was alone and doing some schoolwork, and my server adjusted perfectly to that situation. She checked in/​refilled my green tea often enough to make me not feel neglected (lol), but not so often as to interrupt my work.
For $ 22 (before tip), I was happy/​satiated and had some leftover udon which I enjoyed the next day. This is definitely one of the best sushi spots in Toronto!

What a surprise find! We didn’t know the area well, so we queried on Unilocal for 2 $$ restaurants. Unilocal led us to this little Japanese restaurant that rocks a 4.5 stars average rating.
We ordered a medium Sashimi Combination Platter, a Lobster Roll and a Philadelphia Roll. The portion of the sashimi platter was generous. The sashimi was fresher than AYCE and as fresh as any non-​AYCA restaurants in the GTA. The rolls were okay. Both the Lobster Roll and the Philadelphia Rolls were fresh. The rice layer was quite thin. The presentation of the lobster rolls was beautiful, but the taste of lobster didn’t stand out. The Philadelphia roll, as standard as it was, tasted more satisfactory. For improvement opportunity, I wish the rolls were more tightly rolled.
The decoration of Hina is very nice. The ambiance was like a cross between a restaurant and a lounge. Contemporary yet grown up. Usually restaurants with this level of ambiance has a higher price range, and Hina is not.
Services was average. The waitress was courteous and effective if detached.
Food alone 3.5 stars. Overall 4 stars.

I have nothing negative to say about this place. Sizable portions, good deals, high quality sushi, wonderful service, nice ambience, and the aesthetics are wow. You will not be disappointed.
It’s a small-​scale place so my boyfriend and I made reservations for Valentine’s Day just in case, but when we got there, there were still a couple of empty spots. I looked around and the others had really nicely decorated sushi on wooden boats and platters which made me really excited to get our own. We ordered miso soup, seafood soup, shrimp shumai gyoza zensai (appetizer). I was really satisfied with the shrimp shumai gyoza but the seafood soup was too salty for me. Not a problem, I drank a lot of water (that was nice and didn’t taste like tap water) and green tea. EVERYTHING looked delicious on the HI NA signature maki rolls menu but we ended up getting the sunshine, the spicy lobster, the Alaska, and the spicy crispy salmon. I was surprised when the huge wooden fish-​shaped platter arrived, those were big portions.
This is no low-​quality AYCE stuff. The rolls had a thin layer of rice and mostly ingredients. I don’t know if the crabmeat was real but it sure tasted real. The salmon and caviar is top-​grade sushi level. It turns out that since the portions were so big, 2 maki rolls for each of us was too much, so I decided to take home the 6 pieces left so that my little sister could try them. We had ice cream and once again, they decorated it wonderfully with chocolate sauce and MINIATURE FUNCTIONING TINY UMBRELLAS. Wow. Never seen those before in my life (maybe because I’ve never been to such a high-​quality restaurant). They even put a cherry on top. So, I enjoyed my enhanced green tea ice cream and went to the washroom. When I came back, there was yet another surprise. The waitress gave me a small box of Hershey kisses and I thought oh my goodness can this place get any more perfect. She took good care of us throughout our stay, refilling our tea and making us feel comfortable. I had a wonderful experience, and would recommend this to any hardcore sushi lover. Honestly, this place was quite pricy for the amount that we had to order to get full, but for a special occasion it’s unquestionably worth it.

Just moved to New Toronto and this place has become my new go-​to when I get a craving for sushi. Staff is friendly, venue is clean. Love the complimentary apps! The maki rolls are delicious and the chef seems to take pride in presentation and execution. Particularly like the torch rolls, reminds me of Vancouver sushi.

The sushi is always delicious and decorated so pretty, I love it. The reason im only giving this 3 stars is because I could hear the chef calling my friend and I idiots and loud in Korean which is so rude and it made me really angry that they expected us to be super quiet when we were just talking in a normal indoor voice. I’d order take out but after this I don’t think I would sit down to eat again.

The food here was really good and they were great to deal with. We had just take out, but everything was still done with care and presented nicely. The flavour was also on point for everything! They also wrote a little note for us to enjoy our food with a complimentary rice paper rolls on the house.
Had:
Spicy Dynamite Maki
Spicy salmon rolls
Smokey rolls
Vegetable tempura
Goyza soup
Rice paper rolls
All was great. The smartest was they cut the top of the tempura box out so that the steam would escape, leaving our tempura still crispy and warm by the time we got it home!
I would definitely recommend… for the flavour and price this place is a steal!

I’ve had sushi all over Toronto and this is by far my favorite. The chefs are very authentic. The staff is extremely courteous. The food is always very fresh. They have fresh cut flowers. And the value is so good it is almost absurd.
Pro tip get the salmon or tuna sashimi. The dumplings are also fantastic. Have had most of the rolls and you can’t go wrong.
Three dishes for two people are normally enough.

We were planing to go to sushi 2 go but it was closed for reno. By luck we went here!!! The place is totally dead not sure if it was cause lunch or it’s new. Décor is simple yet classy, plating was unexpectedly fancy! The food wow! From the miso soup to the free appetizer to the main course even the the dessert was great!!! Everything was superb and very worth coming back even though it was pricy! Well worth the extra dough!
