Everything was awesome. One of my favorites from the menu was the shira-ae. Basically blanched green veggies with a bit of salt and a tofu sauce. The tofu sauce was delicious, and different than any tofu I had ever experience. This dish was very mild and nuanced, and you could really just sink into the flavors. The agedashi tofu was also excellent. “Hibino” as I understand, means “daily.” As in the ingredients are prepared daily, and I will attest that everything tasted fresh. The sushi is also excellent, the yellowtail jalapeño was among my favorites. I imagine this is what a great restaurant in Kyoto tastes like. Our server was great too. She explained the dishes, to us and made some great recommendations. I look forward to going back there.

Really enjoyed my meal here. I would say this is a more modern take on Japanese food. They have the usual that you would expect but a fantastic specials menu where you can tell someone is taking care and effort. I love Japanese food and this was a refreshing place to go out of the normal spicy tuna roll spots.

Delicious, simple and affordable! Try any dish with tofu as it is housemade and absolutely singular in taste and texture alike. The daily obanzi, or homestyle recipes, are always surprisingly minimalist when it comes to ingredients and rich in flavor and textures. I ordered a non traditional coleslaw from this menu on my visit, along with the Hibino Sushi Plate. The sushi was fresh of course, and the chef selected items were relatively outstanding compared to the yellowtail scallion roll I selected for the second half of the dish, which was simply delightful. Last but not least, do not pass up the soymilk custard for dessert!

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

The pricing is pretty reasonable. The space is adorable and conveniently located near the train station. I highly recommend the panko-fried eel, which was absolutely delicious. The salmon skin sushi was also a great choice. However, I wouldn’t recommend the smoked salmon. The menu described it as having spicy mayo and jalapeño, but it didn’t quite live up to that expectation. Overall, it’s a great spot for a casual meal in a nice neighborhood..

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!

Cute and quaint sushi restaurant in Cobble Hill. Pretty extensive menu. Had the spicy scallop and tuna rolls and the seared tuna tataki salad was delicious (tuna was perfectly pan seared). The recommended sake was also very good. Inexpensive and very decent portions for the price.

Good neighborhood joint for authentic and simple Japanese sushi and cuisine. Would have liked a little in each dish, but tasty nonetheless. The housemade tofu is a recommended. Reservations are not accepted, so anticipate a considerable wait (40min in my case) on a busy night.

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.

I finished my meal as a solo dinner on a Saturday night and was taking a few minutes to relax before heading home after paying (including > 20% tip). The server abruptly comes over and says in a rude tone "the next table will be here in 5 minutes" and walks away. There was an empty table beside me (the wait-list rush was over), and this restaurant is walk-ins only so clearly they were just annoywd to have someone who had paid still seated. I appreciate it's a Saturday night and you're trying to turn over tables, but this behavior was uncalled for and absolutely ruined the meal and my experience. I know that had I been there with another person, or had I been drinking, I wouldn't have been treated this way. (Also, there are more subtle, friendly ways to get a customer to leave!) I told them as much when I approached them and all I got was a blank stare and "thank you for your consideration". One of the servers even looked me up and down as I was sharing my frustration. I live I the neighborhood and will absolutely no longer recommend this restaurant to my friends.
