“ Food was delicious . Service very prompt and friendly. Favorites were sashimi, the scallop was delicious and fresh. ”
“ Cute small izakaya place in Hell's Kitchen. We came by at 530 on Saturday and were still in time for happy hour which included $4 beers and $5-6 hi balls and hi chus. We started off with two of the seasonal specials, grilled eggplant and fried oysters. The oyster were amazing! The eggplant was in a very salty sauce and probably my least favorite dish of the night. The izakaya skewers were average and the breast was really dry. We dipped it in the cod to give it more flavorful. Next time I will pass on the skewers. The katsu curry rice and cod udon were both great. Service was quick and friendly. ”
“ Heno heno is the definition of a solid go-to neighborhood sushi spot! The prices are reasonable and foods are classic and comforting. Honestly so much of New York Asian food is so fusion-y, overly sweet, and trying to be the next new thing that I crave the classic / homemade style foods like at Heno Heno. I've come by a couple times and also gotten takeout and always had a great experience. The salmon don is my go to because for $19, the portion of raw salmon is incredibly generous and fresh. I introduced a friend to this restaurant since it was close to both of us and she is equally if not more obsessed with the salmon don, ordering it for takeout many times after. I've also gotten the nabeyaki udon, yellowtail jalapeno roll, and grilled squid all of which I've enjoyed. I am personally not the greatest fan of squid, but to my surprise quite liked it here and it had a nice flavor! The only thing I didn't notice at first until a friend pointed it out was that they don't have nigiri on their menu (at least online) which is surprising for a sushi restaurant. Maybe they might still make it if you ask, but if your go to at a sushi restaurant is nigiri probably good to keep in mind that they may not have it. Overall, no complaints about heno heno and am always excited to go back! ”
“ Great happy hour deals from 5p- 6:30p! Walked in for a table of 2 and it was easy to get a table. The venue is medium sized so there's a good amount of space for medium sized groups. We ordered the steamed eel basket that came over white rice as well as a 5 kind sashimi. Both dishes were delicious. The fish was really fresh. Service was friendly and timeline as well. ”
“ Had a great meal the other day. It's quietly tucked away on W 46th St, on a lower level. Step down into this vibey hole in the wall decorated with movie posters. The menu is massive with tons of small bites to choose from. You could keep it simple and order a couple, or go all in and order a bunch with a group. Tried the grilled eel box which was so tender and served with the perfect amount of sauce & rice, the classic tuna roll which you can't go wrong with, and the fried quail egg skewer. Everything was delicious. They have a really impressive drink menu which I skipped this time but I'd be down to try some next time! ”
“ Solid Japanese restaurant. Having recently returned from Japan, I was excited to try an authentic Japanese restaurant again in the States. However, my to-go meal - beef curry rice with pork cutlet - was very mediocre here. It just didn't have much flavor and the meat wasn't especially tender. The yabe taki udon was better, but still quite small for the price. Sushi was about average. The rice ball was quite good; I'd definitely order it again. Prices weren't too bad but also not especially cheap. Though you can make reservations, they weren't needed, although the restaurant did fill up around 7pm on a Saturday evening. Staff were friendly and attentive. A few things to be aware about: 1.) They don't allow outside food or drinks, even if it's sealed. Fortunately for me, they were nice enough to let me put my unopened boba in their fridge. 2.) You can't order to-go meals in the restaurant. Well, you can, but you need to package it yourself. They'll give you a hot meal and a takeout container, and you'll need to package it up. ”
“ Love this place! Especially love the 3 sake tasting for $15. Suigei has been my fave so far but also liked the Dassai 45 followed by the waitress' rec of Kikusui. For food, I really liked the takoyaki, omelette appetizer, Ebi shrimp appetizer, and the tuna don. The gyoza and salmon avocado roll weren't bad either. My husband loved the fried tofu appetizer. Skip the omelette rice entree - it had a weird tangy ketchup sauce that neither of us loved. They also have a HH including on weekends for drink discounts. Will definitely return! ”
