On the Grid : Hanmoto

"Hanmoto is one of those perfect places to impress a potential date. Unmarked and slightly off-the-grid, it oozes with cool without trying. The space is cozy and warm with an open kitchen and eclectic décor. Seating is a little tight and you might have to wait for a table, but it’s worth it as Hanmoto specializes in greasy snack foods with a delicious Japanese flavour. Hanmoto's Dyno wings- deboned chicken wings stuffed with ground pork and bacon, wrapped in gyoza skin- are a must." - Sovereign State

This spot serves incredible Japanese street-food-style dishes. The menu is small but perfectly curated — and the portions are just right for sharing, so if you come with a group, you can practically taste the whole menu. It’s a tiny space with limited seating and no reservations, so you’ll need to join the waitlist. We waited two hours, but it was absolutely worth it. The moto eggs and dumpling-stuffed chicken wings were fire! I’d definitely come back.

I’ve been here before but came back and it was much better than I remembered! The food was absolutely delicious. I’m not usually a fan of okra but the flavouring of the okra was SO tasty. The emoki mushrooms were incredibly soft. We also got the hand roll and it was so delicious and presented in such a unique way in the little cans. I also just loved how big the portions were it was incredibly filling. We also got the salmon aburi and the moto eggs. The prices were very reasonable and we walked out FULL. The vibe is very small and cozy.

Great spot for Japanese bar food with an elevated twist. My particular favourite was the surf and turf handroll and moto eggs, but everything was delicious! That said, the portion sizes weren’t the biggest for the price point (it might be slightly pricier than you expect). Staff was friendly and educated us on how to eat every dish. Food was served decently quickly. Cool vibes! Would come back.

First time coming to this hidden gem of Dundas west. Place was dimley lit, but still kinda bright. Loved the industrial street vibe feel. Theres no reservations but we got a table. The servers and bartendera are amazing. Tbey recommended most of our cocktails. Ordered the wings and steak. Came out quick. Food was amazing. Will come again for more of the menu and drinks.

Super easy to miss this place since there’s no sign, and it’s hidden behind another restaurant. it kind of feels like you’re walking into someone’s back entrance by mistake. once you’re in, it’s got a cozy, low-lit vibe with a bunch of tables packed into a pretty small space. We thought the food would be small, shareable bites, but the portions were actually way bigger than expected. The three of us ordered five dishes, but honestly, four would’ve been more than enough - especially since none of us were super hungry. The okra was my favorite: cooked just right, great flavor, and a nice bit of spice. The Dyno Wings were interesting - basically a chicken wing with a pork meatball stacked on top. If you’re into meat, it totally works. The eggplant dish surprised me because it was a lot sweeter than I expected, but still tasty. The karaage was decent, nothing out of the ordinary, but exactly what you’d want if you like classic Japanese fried chicken. All in all, it’s a cool little spot with some fun dishes and good vibes

Charming Izakaya spot with beautiful dishes served. You must get the Moto Eggs and Dyno Wings, 10/10 so so good. I wish there were more salmon in the Salmon Aburi especially towards the bottom of the roll, but other than that, it was really good, and beautifully served by the way. The moto bun is quite good but could be better - a crispy chicken paired with the curry sauce would complement the soft bun. The service was really good and the server we had was very friendly. Overall a really great experience and would recommend.

This is such a hidden gem in Toronto for Japanese izakaya-style tapas and drinks. The vibe is super cool, and the food is creative and delicious. The space is small, so be prepared for a bit of a wait—but it’s totally worth it!

One of my favorite dining spots in Toronto. Great for small groups or date nights. Their dyno wings, miso steak, salmon aburi and miso icr-cream are highlights for me but to be honest everything I've had from the menu is delicious. Their cocktails are also on point! The space is small and you can expect a wait list for a table on the weekends as they don't take reservations. But totally worth the wait and they have seating outside as well to accommodate those waiting. If you are driving in on a weekend be wary that street parking is a bit difficult to find but that's Toronto on a typical weekend anyway. Come prepared to drive around a bit before you find a spot. The green P nearby gets full pretty quickly on the weekend as well.
