Reviews for Aburi Hana in Toronto, ON
The autumn menu was a 12-course masterpiece. I highly recommend Aburi Hana to celebrate any special occasion! My favourites were... the Sea Urchin & A5 Wagyu Beef. During the dinner, you'll experience various flavours and textures all throughout Japan. Expectto stay 2.5 hours to enjoy your meal. While we didn't order sake, the Sake director recommended us different refreshers to goalong with the meal and they were SO delicious. The staff at Aburi Hana were kind, attentive, and welcoming. Once you leave,you'll still find yourself thinking about all the amazing things you ate even days after the dinner. Big thanks to the AburiHana team for an unforgettable dining experience! Read more
I've been to other Kaiseki (and Omakase style) restaurants in Toronto and this one is my favourite. Aburi Hana offers a unique... fine dining experience in an intimate setting (Note: we were in a private dining room, not the chef's counter.) Each course (andsake pairing) was explained to us in great detail. Each dish was exceptional. So too was the service. Our private room set thestage for a romantic evening. A knock on the door preceded the serving of each course (I lost count of how many courses after my6th pairing of sake.) The sake is served in hand blown stemware that is as light as a feather. Truly unique, much like AburiHana. Highly recommended, especially for special occasions! :) Read more
Fantastic experience at Aburi Hana! This is a place that covers all aspects of dining. Everything was delicious, however we did... leave a bit hungry! Creativity and flavours were top notch. Read more
We came here to celebrate our 5 yr anniversary and new job. Really a one of a kind experience. Every little detail was thought... of and the service was outstanding I love how attentive the whole team was and how everyone who served us was knowledgeableabout the dish and was excited to walk us through the story behind each course. We recommend adding the sake pairing to yourexperience as the Sake Director here showcases amazing sake that you won’t find easily in Toronto. I already can’t wait tocome back, probably won’t be any time soon as it is a pricey experience. Great for graduations, anniversaries, birthdays, orif you’re a fine dining lover that’s looking to try a traditional Japanese kaiseki with a modern twist. Thank you againChef Nakagawa and team for such a memorable experience! Read more
Extremely outstanding sake pairing, incredible service, and an amazing location and deco. This place has perfected the dining... experience... The chef puts his modern spin on traditional kaiseki courses. While this hits the jackpot at times, the flavourcombination and overall course progression felt a bit lacking. Some dishes are rather gimmicky without substance to support. Thewestern style desserts were extremely well done though. Read more
With wine/sake pairing it’s $500 ….and absolutely worth it. The preparation, presentation and dishes are impeccable. The... service is formal, structured and oh so Japanese. The flavours and textures are extraordinary. If you want to be transported toa place of culinary and sensory delight, then you have to give Aburi Hana a visit. Read more
I always wanted to travel to Japan but never had the pleasure. Now I’m married with young kids and probably won’t be able to... go anytime soon. This place is as close as it gets in Toronto I would think. You don’t even feel you’re in Toronto whilethere. The food, wine pairing, service and ambiance are all ultra premium and top notch. Definitely worth trying at least onceif you can stand the high price tag. Look at it this way, it’s cheaper than a trip to Japan. Read more
One of the most incredible dining experiences I've had in Toronto. Sake pairing with the autumn menu had offerings, presentation... and flavour profiles that are so very unique on dedicated creation by Chef. Friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff. Chefis passionate, creative and in-tune with his guests while they dine. Happily accommodating to a shrimp and nut allergy. Read more
