Exceptional food served bite by bite, beautiful presentation, great description of each dish, superb wine pairing. An other worldly dining experience, from beginning to end. Great chatting with the chef, sous chef and somm. Remarkable in every way.

We love Hina. Amazing flavors, top notch quality, friendly folks. We tried an award winning yakitori omakase place in Japan and Hina was even better. And the wine pairing is fantastic - the wines and food feel like they go together so well. Never had a pairing where I actually could taste the flavor changes like this. If you haven't tried Hina it's totally worth it! Chicken really can be that good.
Great experience and presentation

This is the second time I am here. The first time was good. This time, we had the worst experience ever. Highly recommended to avoid by all means. If I were the owner/partner, I would fire the server and the chef. It completely ruined our most important date.
Really underwhelming. Subpar food, grossly overpriced, unfriendly service. Avoid.
This was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. Do not pass it up. And the drink pairing sealed the amazing food experience. Don't skip it.

i honestly don’t know what to say. our menu was the “all chicken” version vs what you see in the maps photos, so that was a bit of a letdown. out of the 12-15 courses, half were good, 1/4 were amazing, and 1/4 were a little scary. i’d go back because it’s a singular experience and cool to watch the open kitchen but do brace yourself and be ready to be adventurous.

Truly wonderful dining experience. Authentic yakitori omakase where all parts of the bird are beautifully highlighted. Clean deep chicken flavor under the wonderful aroma of the binchotan. Every dish was a win but highlights were the tomago, chicken skin with pate and caviar, the gizzard and chicken with Japanese onion. White asparagus was perfection. Wagyu beef and firefly squid were welcomed additions. Wonderful service in a intimate dining format. Love seeing every dish prepared start to finish. Having eaten at every new addition to the Michelin guide, dumbfounded that Hina is not starred.*** I’ll just add that some of the poor reviews are quite hilarious. Eating at Hina and complaining their is too much chicken is comparable to complaining about too many grain at a bakery. Like do you even understand the restaurant concept or traditional yakitori?

Great stuff, lots to try, lots of subtle flavors, surprises too. You will eat all the chicken.

Although great service and atmosphere I was disappointed at the flavors and portion. Definitely a fusion take on yakitori.

Excellent service , excellent tasting experienceMiss their karaage boxes over the pandemic. Hands down the best spicy fried chicken ever. Ever. (Still waiting on news of this offshoot continuing. But in the meantime their main yakitori experience was similarly well executed.)
This place is so lovely! Very small and intimate for a yakitori place. They put in so much detail and care to each plate. Every piece of chicken was so juicy. The wagyu was very tender and so buttery. My favorite was probably the chicken gizzard! The texture and flavor melts in your mouth!
Had the best time here! Great food, creativity with solid execution. Cant wait to be back!
