Creative Japanese eatery serving sushi, small plates, & tofu
"When you want top-tier Japanese comfort food in a casual setting, make a reservation at Hibino in Cobble Hill. The room has minimal decor and lots of little tables, and it’s quiet enough for an actual conversation. This izakaya does everything well, from the rotating daily selection of obanzai and sushi specials to house-made tofu and tonkatsu. They also serve salmon, tuna, and anago hako sushi, as well as a full menu of rolls and nigiri." - bryan kim, neha talreja, carlo mantuano, sonal shah
"Hibino is a good casual sushi spot in LIC, and you can place your takeout order for things like sashimi platters, rolls, and sake directly through their website." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"Hibino does Japanese pop-ups throughout the Hudson Valley, including every Monday at Little King, a home goods store. There’s an impressively large selection of these onigiri topped with tiny delicate flowers, including ones with dried baby anchovies and shiso or wakame and cooked cod roe. The $18 bento box is also a great move for a more luxe Monday mid-day meal—it’s filled with ginger garlic chicken thighs, two onigiri, and a golden soft-boiled egg. The whole operation blends right in with Little King’s Japandi landscape of expensive hand towels and adorable chopstick holders. " - anne cruz

Even the chicken teriyaki here is excellent and will remind you why this dish was really, really popular a few decades back. In addition to the special sushi menu, they also serve salmon, tuna, and anago hako sushi, as well as a full menu of rolls and nigiri." - Carina Finn
