Hazu Izakaya

What is Hazu Izakaya? Located at 168 Major Street in Harbord Village, Hazu Izakaya occupies a quiet residential strip just steps south of Harbord Street and adjacent to the University of Toronto campus. The cozy venue features an unpretentious, compact dining room framed with warm wood elements and relaxed ambient lighting tailored for effortless neighbourhood dining. Seating consists of intimate dining tables ideal for casual date nights and post-work catch-ups with friends.

Hazu Izakaya Menu & What to Order The kitchen balances crowd-pleasing izakaya small plates with traditional sushi and fresh fish platters. Start with the crackly chicken karaage or the crispy tuna appetizer, before moving on to the Specialty Spicy Tuna Roll, Golden Dragon roll, and generous sashimi combos. Vegetarians will find comforting options in the crispy agedashi tofu in dashi broth, wakame salad, and seasoned inari pockets. Pair your spread with a crisp draft beer or a carafe of house sake.

Know Before You Go Tables are primarily available on a walk-in basis, though calling ahead is recommended for small groups heading in during prime dinner hours on weekends. The restaurant is easily accessible via the 510 Spadina streetcar or a short walk south from Spadina subway station; on-street parking on Major Street is strictly permit-heavy and limited. Dinner service runs from late afternoon into the evening Tuesday through Sunday.
