Since I've been here a few times already, I finally decided that I should write a review for this place. To be honest, there isn't really a lot of Japanese a la carte options in the area of Markham. When it comes to Japanese, there are times that I crave specialty maki rolls or bento boxes and Hana-Bi comes to mind as it is close by and affordable pricing.
It is a tiny restaurant and I enjoy the peacefulness of the place as I can have quality conversations with my friends over our meal. Tonight, both my friend and I ordered bento boxes for dinner. I ordered the sashimi and kalbi bento. I love it, it was the perfect portion. The meal also came with miso soup and salad. But if you're hoping for a complimentary dessert (scoop of icecream or something), you're out of luck. Honestly, had the meal came with a dessert, it woulda topped it off.
All in all, I enjoyed the service even though there was only one server. I would recommend this place to those in the area.
