Hibino is a great place to go to if you're looking for Japanese food that is more than just sushi, though they do have that, too. Try their homemade tofu!

This Michelin-starred restaurant is everything you'd want in a restaurant. Great atmosphere, good service and excellent food. Perfect for a date night or a gathering with friends. I highly recommend their Mole de Piaxtla - the best chicken mole of my life - and their cheese ice cream for dessert - it's scrumptious!
