I had such a unique and creative dining experience here. The presentation of each plate was beautiful and food was phenomenal. We were seated in a very private, quiet and cozy room with a large table, which I enjoyed. The staffs were extremely friendly and knowledgeable with every detail of the meal. Highly recommend for a traditional kaiseki experience in Toronto!

Amazing experience! When you walk in, you're instantly transported into Japan. The photos don't do it justice at all, It's not very large, however when we were seated we were giving a tour around the restaurant, giving us the illusion that we were deep into the restaurant.Food was delicious and beautiful. Each item is seasoned and marinated perfectly and the service we received from Kei and the rest of the staff was exceptional.The price tag is quite high, but worth every penny. If you are celebrating an event you are gifted with a personalized card in Japanese calligraphy.Thank you again for such an amazing experience.

Going to Kaiseki Yu-zen Hashimoto Restaurant is like going back to Japan. You can get the true authentic Kaiseki experience and the interior of the restaurant is impeccable. The experience is artistic, perfected and well serviced. The food was not only delicious, but beautiful as well. They only use the most premium and fresh ingredients for their guests and you can tell through tasting their food. The sequence in which the food was served was well thought out and the pairings of the vegetables with the meats were compatible and enhancing. You can definitely tell how much love and care the chef has placed into the food, presentation and experience. I most definitely agree with their Michelin star and it is 100% worth the price for this unique experience in Toronto. Thank you to the staffs at Kaiseki Yu-zen Hashimoto Restaurant for making my birthday so memorable and magical.

Kaiseki Yu-Zen Hashimoto was a restaurant I had high expectations for, given its reputation and hefty price tag (around $500 per person after tax and tip). However, my dining experience left me somewhat underwhelmed.I expected much more from this Michelin-starred establishment. On the positive side, the service was impeccable. The staff's attention to detail and hospitality were truly commendable. But when it came to the food, nothing really stood out. I expected to be blown away, and unfortunately, that didn't quite happen.While the presentation of each dish was beautifully executed, I felt like not enough premium ingredients were used to match the high price tag being charged. The flavors, while decent, didn't reach the extraordinary level I anticipated. I was also somewhat disappointed by the overuse of jellied ingredients in some dishes, which seemed to detract from the overall experience.While I don't mind splurging on exceptional dining, Kaiseki Yu-Zen Hashimoto fell short of my expectations. There was way too much emphasis on presentation, which I felt was what you’re mainly paying for. Maybe my expectations were too high, but for a restaurant at this price point, I had hoped for a more memorable and exceptional culinary experience .

Pricey but very delicious experience! The eight-course meal ($350 per person) began with an onjyaku-zen. Overall, I had a good experience at this establishment. The service was very good.
