Hibino LIC – Guest Review by Brett Kotlus MD

By Angela · On June 1, 2016

The Verdict:

Good for infants, toddlers and little kids however if your toddler needs a booster seat you should bring your own.
Appropriate for lunch or dinner.

 

Sippy Cup Rating:

3.0 Stars (3.0 / 5)

 

Insider Tips:

  • Between 5pm-7 pm it’s filled with families with young children.  This is a good time to go. They don’t take reservations.
  • They have colorful plastic bowls for kids and kid’s chopsticks on request. 
  • Try their daily Obanzai (Japanese Tapas) which are always great and reasonably priced.  My wife and I are in love with their Chirashi. 
Lots of families at Hibino LIC

Lots of families!
