Hana-Bi Sushi is runned by a Korean family. I have to agreed with Bijan that it is the best lunch specials ($6.99) in terms of price in the area!!
What can one expect from $6.99?? Here at Hana-Bi Sushi will buy you
- green tea
- miso soup
- salad
- bento box with 2 tempura tofu, 1 dumpling, 6 pc of Sashimi, 4 pc of Cali roll, 2 pc of big roll, 4 pc of sushi
- yogurt drink as dessert
- nice and friendly service
The restaurant itself is nice and comfy. The service is quick and friendly. The food is decent.
I will be definitely be back for a quick cheap lunch again! Just think how much T&T asking for one of their pre made nasty tasting sushi!
They accepts Visa, Mastercard and Interac! -

Came here for lunch last week with a friend. We both ordered from their lunch bento box menu. From a price perspective, it's phenomenal, but from the taste point of view, I can only give them 1 star. I ordered a pork katsu, it comes with some california rolls / salmon roll. The rolls were not too fresh, especially the salmon one....it tastes terrible, I didn't even finish the second roll. I felt a little sick after the lunch, although I wasn't too sure if its the restaurant or I was sick to begin with. The pork katsu was dry and very thin...service was okay.

I used to come here quite frequently with friends until recently. We were attracted to their very cheap bento lunch specials and cute family run business, but recently we found a cockroach in our meal. We reported it to the owner, who immediately killed it with the tea pot. I really like the cute family that runs this place, but I do worry about the cleanliness of the food now. I am okay with hair in my food, but a cockroach is a cause for concern.

Hana-bi is located in Woodside plaza at Woodbine and Hwy 7 behind the Cineplex theatre. I came here for lunch on a weekday and ended up with a bento box, a la sashimi. How I'm no expert in sushi, but I know a good bento box from experience.
The quality of the sushi was sub-par and pretty boring, I could see coming here if, say I worked across the street, but even a 5 minute drive isnt worth the effort.
Also, the service was just OK, nothing special here. -

Really love the sushi at this restaurant. The pieces are a good size (not monstrous) and the quality is very good. The restaurant is pretty small so the line up for me took 15 mins or so at dinner for 2 people

By far one of the best sushi places in the area in terms of price, and service. I've been on a quest for the past 6 months to find good, cheap sushi around my work at Hwy 7 and Leslie and I think I've finally found the place!
This isn't a large restaurant and it's packed with tables but the service is quick and friendly especially at lunch when we had to wait ~5-10 min for a table. They were apologetic for the wait and ended up offering us a free dish for hanging around! OK maybe I'm a sucker for free food but I haven't received service this good in a LONG while.
In terms of price, you can easily have lunch here under $10, there's bento's and teriyaki dishes at $6.99 and $9.99 and sushi platters starting from $10.99 (for 14 pieces). It is also Korean owned so they do have a few korean dishes and soju specials but regardless their sushi rolls were by far better than any other sushi joint around (better than Wasabi, Gals, Inaho, Sapporo, etc - except maybe not Miyabi). Don't expect to be WOW'ed at the freshness of the fish but all in all it's a clean place, with great service, fair prices and tasty food.
I guess there's a reason this place is always packed for lunch! -

Hana-bi Sushi is a cozy little joint located in the First Markham Plaza. It is probably the smallest sushi venue I have ever been in, but I felt comfortable and was greeted kindly.
A fairly large menu was presented to me and I browsed through it whilst sipping green tea. I decided to take advantage of a lunch special as it contained a wide spread which would allow me to get a good feel of the chefs skills and quality of ingredients. My bento consisted of 2 salmon sushi, 2 red snapper sushi, 2 pieces of anonymous maki, 2 tempura rolls, a portion of bulgogi and some gyoza for $9.99.
I was excited to dig in, but disappointed that everything remained fairly at par. The sushi had more rice packed underneath then usual and there was no wasabi between the fish and rice. I like the temperature of my sushi to be cool and fresh, this was at room temperature and extra chewy. As for the bulgogi, I have eaten it almost everywhere and I have had much better. The gyoza was under and unevenly cooked and my bowl of rice was dry and I believe it was placed in the bowl long before it made it to my table.
I probably will not be returning to this restaurant, however this could have been just a one off experience I had. I have come across positive reviews online and some via word of mouth, I also feel the venue is homey and the service is good. Unfortunately, sushi can not hold a candle to other local gems like Tomo.

For $14.99, it's truly as good as it gets. It's got good quality (better than the Japanese places at Market Village, kennedy and 14, hwy 7 & warden) and friendly family-owned business. Having eaten there over 100 times in the past three years, (almost once a week), our only disappointments were 1. once there was a live bug crawling on my lemon in my bento box. But out of 100 times x atleast 2 people's boxes, that's not bad. Every restaurant has bugs. It would be a lie if a restaurant didn't. 2. We established a great relationship and would tip them quite generously, but as the relationship grew older, we felt that the quality items on the house or just basics like prompt service of tea or appetizers became lacking. We do understand that on-the-house items are out of their generosity, but our generous tips covered the dishes. As time went on, the dishes dwindled and it's just not a great feeling. The rating would have been a 5, but I think a 4 or 4.5 is quite accurate.
