Hibino

Fun spot with changing daily specials - their $8 obanzai is the main attraction. We had the pork shiokaji which was incredible, so smoky and just the right amount of fat. Their roasted veg dish and salmon tartare don were also delectable. Their barley tea was also superb with unlimited hot water refills. Their sushi however - somewhat underwhelming - average fish quality but fair price. I would come again for hot dishes

Had such a delightful time at this restaurant. The staff is incredibly welcoming, friendly and accommodating. It felt like I was a guest in their home! I got the yellow tail salad, miso salmon, and some of the specials they had for the day. Everything came out hot, fresh, and at such a reasonable price. Even the miso soup was delicious - which I didn’t expect to be so good! For my entree, I got the miso glazed salmon. It was well cooked, fresh, and had a great umami flavor. I also appreciated the good selection of sake they had available. Would definitely visit again, especially if I’m the neighborhood!

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.

It's no wonder why Hibino is always so packed - the sushi is simply outstanding! We had the tuna tataki salad to start, which was flavorful and generous enough for two. We also shared a sushi special, along with two pieces of heavenly toro. The fried eel roll was scrumptious without being greasy or heavy. And to top off the evening, we enjoyed a Cloudy House sake that was not too sweet. All in all, it was a delicious date night experience that reminds one why they fell in love with this restaurant in the first place. Highly recommended!

After visiting multiple times, I’ve noticed an inconsistency with their food. I enjoyed the salmon box pressed sushi which tasted unique because of the natto beans and shiso leaf. However on one visit, they were hard to pick up because the rice would fall apart, while on another visit, the rice to fish ratio was way too high but the rice was perfectly sticky. They have daily specials called “obanzai.” The waiters were friendly. I loved their dessert sake which was a yuzu sake. It tends to be a little warm inside the restaurant. Overall, I love the service but I haven’t found the food impressive.
