Hibiki

Went to Hibiki in the summer and chose it again for a lunch in town at the weekend based on that experience. Was not disappointed. The service is impeccable (the waiter even said glad to see you again), The food is amazing. The best duck spring rolls I have ever tasted in my life. There were many Japanese clients which is a great positive indication too! This will be a recurring favourite!

Very good and tasty food, nice flavors and great presentation. Traditional and authentic atmosphere with fresh food. The sushi was very good and the staff very friendly and efficient. The restaurant is a bit hidden as it is located in the basement but worth a visit. The whole experience was wonderful

I tried Hibiki for the first time. The atmosphere was good. Not a big selection of non-alcoholic drinks that could be an improvement. The staff was polite and friendly. The food was okay. The food felt microwaved. It wasn’t very warm when I got served at the table. Like when you reheat it and leave it on the counter until the rice is done. My chicken tasted a little bit old and dried out. And the curry was just a little bit warm, almost cold. I feel the portions could be bigger a little bit. The eel that you can see in the second picture, right side, 2 pieces of that cost almost £8. For my taste, the miso soup felt a bit too salty. There were also only 2 tables occupied, on late Sunday afternoon/evening. That might explain the old food taste. Overall, I’d rate it as a very average restaurant with nice decorations. It’s worth trying out once, maybe order with delivery but not a place that would make me come back regularly.

We had a wonderful experience tonight. The atmosphere reminded me of dining in a small restaurant in Japan. The food was well prepared, and well plated. And most importantly, the food tasted wonderful. My wife and I do travel a bit and find that we have a short list of precious memories of restaurants. Hibiki is now on our short list of precious meals. I’d suggest you try it soon.
