Hibino LIC

Hibino is an awesome place for lunch. $13 for a bento box is great value, and the quality of the food and service is top notch. Food and ambiance is excellent. The teriyaki chicken is pretty incredible. It’s a lot of food for a single person, very filling.

The minimalist atmosphere, authentic Japanese cuisine, and convenient location just steps from the Vernon Blvd–Jackson Av station make this a place we keep returning to. For lunch, the Lunchbox Specials are an excellent value, particularly the Hokke Ichiyaboshi, which features broiled, salted Atka mackerel. For dinner, two standout dishes are the Salmon Miso Zuke, which includes flavorful miso-marinated salmon served with seasonal vegetables, and the Hibino Teriyaki Chicken, made with roasted organic chicken and seasonal vegetables. I also really enjoy their desserts.

Good price, good fish. The staff were kind and efficient. We shared the omakase special of the night, some appetizers and a roll that came with it. Highlights were the fresh tofu, and the toro which was exquisite. Parking was decent, with a bunch of one ways around the area so you will make a lot of loops before finding a spot but the restaurant is right by the 7 for those who love the subway. Tuesday, at 6:00pm we entered a calm and by 6:30pm it was bustling with families and couples meeting after a long day of work. This place was alive.

We had a great dinner. The only miss was the sake katsu - the salmon was really dry and we couldn't really eat. Kamo salad was refreshing. We had the tuna and salmon hako sushi, lobster tempura futomaki, and other rolls. Highly recommend!

Hibino is one of my favourite restaurants in LIC. I love that they offer their lunch specials even on weekends. I always order their "obento box", which comes with a choice of an entrée from their daily-rotating list (so cute how they write them on a few chalkboards that they move around the restaurant for whoever's ordering). Everything I've ordered has always been delicious, from the various fish dishes (salmon / arctic char are particular favourites), the stir-fried pork, and their sushi rolls. The salad is invariably so fresh, and the small side of obanzai is always a treat :) Price point is unparalleled -- I think the bento was priced at $12 when I first came a few years ago, and it's still $12 now. Such a lovely cute restaurant -- service is fast and friendly, and the interior, while a bit small, is definitely very cosy and has that unique rustic Japanese aesthetic to it (including a lot of their tableware). This is definitely a must-try in the area, and I will no doubt be back very soon!
