The Best Restaurants in North York, by the Record
The best restaurants in North York, by the professional record: Michelin Guide, World Culinary Awards, and Chinese Restaurant Awards have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Kaiseki Yu-zen Hashimoto comes out on top.
Gol’s Lanzhou Noodle and Sang-Ji Fried Bao hold the next two places. Chinese Restaurant Awards and World Culinary Awards show up on more of this list than any other guide.

Rank 1. Kaiseki Yu-zen Hashimoto
Kaiseki Japanese
A kaiseki restaurant tucked inside the Canadian Japanese Cultural Centre, reached through corridors that feel less like a hallway and more like a border crossing. Guests eat in fully private rooms, so the vibe is intimate rather than performative. The seasonal menu follows traditional kaiseki form with real conviction, and the sake list gets the same care as the food. It holds a Michelin star.
