This place is a gem! From the minute you walk in you are met with smiles & warmth & a beautiful decor. The sake & wine list is great! Multiple portion options available. The menu is exactly what you want from a yakitori restaurant with cold & hot sides & even the chef's trademark sashimi bowls & ramen!
Every skewer we tasted was perfection & the Maguro dish is out of this world!!! Chutoro available too is heaven. Desserts are light & delicious to end the meal!! You leave already planning & craving your next meal there! Long live Hibahihi & chef Hiroshi!!!!! Thank you team!

Yakitori Hibahihi is an absolute gem. The atmosphere is warm & intimate, perfect for a relaxed evening or a special night out. Every skewer was expertly grilled-tender, flavorful, & clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The balance of smoky char & seasoning was spot on.

Our experience was made even better by our server, Flavie, who was incredibly likeable, attentive, & genuinely welcoming. Her recommendations were spot-on, & she made us feel truly well taken care of without ever being intrusive.

You can really feel the care & authenticity behind every dish & the service. If you're looking for exceptional yakitori, great vibes, & a memorable dining experience, Yakitori Hibahihi is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back.

Food quality here is amazing, arguably better than yakitori in Japan. The fried chicken is light & crispy, & the skewers are perfectly tender. The only downside is the mains; the Ramen & Don portions are quite small for the price. the Ramen & Don bowls are very small & a bit pricey for the portion size, so you'll need to order plenty of skewers to fill up. Expect to spend around $80/person. Great service with the warm towels!

Yakitori Hibahihi is an exciting new venture from Hiroshi Kitano & Hideyuki Imaizumi, celebrating the art of charcoal-grilled yakitori.

The menu is thoughtfully curated, offering sashimi, cold & hot dishes, a few generous mains, & an excellent selection of meat & vegetable yakitori skewers. Each skewer is beautifully grilled over charcoal, delivering deep, smoky flavours.

A special mention goes to the powerful yet silent ventilation system, which keeps the air clean & comfortable-so you can enjoy sitting right in front of the open grill without leaving smelling of smoke. A refined & thoroughly enjoyable dining experience.

I was honestly impressed - the yakitori tasted just like what I've had in Japan. Every skewer was juicy & perfectly cooked. The sides were also super authentic, & I loved the reasonable tapas-style portions so I could try a bit of everything.

As a Japanese person, being able to finish with noodles or rice made me really happy. I had the shio ramen & it was light but full of umami.

Their drink selection is amazing - especially the sake & shochu. I ordered shochu hot & it was perfect.

I'll definitely be back soon.
