Quiet and calm dining experience. Excellent fish in sashimi and sushi entrees and freshly made tofu, too! Love the variety of the daily obanzai offerings. Waitstaff is attentive and service is excellent as well.
Hibino was great. Food was amazing. Kenta was our server and was super accommodating! We will be back.
Great place. Love it. The fresh tofu is great. It's a neighborhood staple. Simple but authentic japanese food and mugicha!
Hibino has been on my list for a while, so we decided to try it out on a weekday around 6:30pm. Surprisingly there were a bunch of open tables and we got seated really quickly. Having come back from Kyoto recently, we were happy to see the obanzai daily specials. We ordered the salmon tekka and the pork dish. They were both good, but there was no wow factor. We also ordered the sashimi platter and the spicy tuna roll. The sashimi platter pieces were quite small for the price. The rolls were on the bigger side though, and the spicy sauce tasted great. Overall, service was good and food was ok.
Hibino is a nice neighborhood Japanese restaurant in an assuming space just south of Atlantic Ave. They have roughly 15 tables, it fills up pretty quickly for parties of two or four. They only take walk-ins, so prepare for a 15-20 minute wait during peak hours. No reservations if you're looking to dine in, to be explicit. The staff is great, they are friendly and incredibly efficient. It seems like they are always on the move, making the most of the small space to get service out to all the diners. The food is good, I really liked their octopus appetizer special when I went (NOT takoyaki). And the tonkatsu dish was solid, the pork cutlet was both crispy and juicy, and went well with the sauce and the Japanese mustard. It's certainly not cheap, but you get quality food from a lovely, smaller operation. Good spot if you're in the area and craving Japanese that's more authentic than the standard sushi joint.
I like this place Ambiance is really dark and i was as blind as a bat but it's kinda good for a date and stuff. We got a simple dinner for two and made a reservation. Without this we would have had to wait for a long ass time. The service is good and the food is good. I think the sushi was whatever but i liked the tofu and ton Katsu and sashimi salad. Will definitely come back in tha future
This small neighborhood gem has been around for years and I've visited a few times for lunch and dinner. The food is consistently good and high quality, made with fresh ingredients. They've developed such a local following that you can always expect a line of patrons waiting to dine. This time I went with cousins who are near weekly regulars. Their trick is to visit Hibino midweek before the restaurant opens to ensure immediate seating. We waited for about 20 minutes before they opened their doors and were the last group of people to enter before they were completely full. My cousin always gets the Grilled Salmon Collar Bento and raved about it, so the rest of us got the same and promptly cleaned them out of their stock of salmon collars. One of us had to choose a different menu item, so the Beef Short Ribs was selected. We also ordered some tuna and uni sushi to start. Everything we ordered had good flavors and textures, and gave me comfort food vibes. It was like eating Japanese home cooking, but what also stands out is how fresh everything tastes. The high quality ingredients and freshness is apparent in every bite, and I think this is what keeps people coming back for more. I daresay they'll make a regular out of me too.
Ya gotta love sushi. It's been a while since we've visited Hibino, so it seemed like a good reservation to snag. They get packed (and for good reason) so plan in advance. Service is excellent and properly attentive. We started with the tuna tataki salad which was excellent and full of flavor. The tuna portion was generous and enough to share. Sharing our mains was also part of our plan so we went for a chefs sushi special (including a roll - yellowtail scallion), 2 pieces of toro (heaven for $10 a piece) and the fried eel roll (scrumptious and not heavy despite the frying). The cloudy house sake was really a treat - not too sweet or heavy. As a whole, we enjoyed our date night with excellent fish and flavors. A good spot to hit if you've forgotten about them.
