Heno Heno

2nd time back at this place. A friend really wanted to go back just for the sushi. Ambiance is great. Service is fast. May return again once back in NY

A cute little izakaya place that's perfect for pre and post show. Came here on a Wednesday night at 6pm before my broadway show and there were a few tables occupied and a couple people at the bar. They have an expansive menu including sashimi, ramen, rice bowls and also a special menu on the wall. We ordered multiple small dishes which included the corn spring roll, oden, soft shell crab, uni with yuzu pepper, kaki fry, chicken thigh skewers, grilled rice balls, grilled salmon belly, tamagoyaki, and pork katsu beef curry. The soft shell crab was very flavorful, the corn spring roll filling was creamy yet not heavy with a lot of crabs inside. The oysters were fresh and juicy. However, they all seemed a little oily and heavy by the time we were done eating them and the paper underneath them were all soaked with oil. The oden was ok. The broth was not as hearty and tasty as I would like. There was also a piece of hair that got stuck in the egg so they had to make another one for me. The uni was a disappointment as I thought I was over marinated where you can't even taste the uni. It was also way too salty to eat by itself so I waited for the grilled rice balls to come so I can eat them together. Their grilled items however, were excellent. We ordered both the soy and miso grilled rice balls. The soy one was ok and could use a little more sauce for the grilling. The miso was my favorite as it had just the right amount of miso to rice ratio. Their chicken thigh skewers were also grilled to perfection. It was very tender and aromatic. However, it would be nice to have more variety as we thought there were limited skewer options available.Their tamagoyaki came out freshly made and hot. Texture was on point. However, I thought it lacked the umami flavor and the hint of sweetness that you often find it the omelette. It could use more dashi and the grated daikon was a little dry.The grilled salmon belly was one of our favorite dish. It was moist and tender and the skin was crispy. Also another favorite was their pork katsu beef curry. The curry was very hearty and flavorful. The cut of the pork was nice with minimal fat. The only thing is I wished they didn't pour the curry on top of the pork katsu as it was no longer crispy by the time we tried the dish.Overall, it's a great option for small plates. The restaurant had plenty of comfortable seatings. The staff were friendly and attentive and were very apologetic with the hair incident. Although some of their dishes were a miss, I would still come back for their curry.

Wow, what a fine! We were just strolling down restaurant row after a show trying to find something that was open to get a light bite. This place was great. The salmon sashimi was delightful and the scallop sashimi was off the charts good. My husband got like a kind of a marinated hanker steak. It was a small portion, but delicious as well. I think they're open really late. The surface was great atmosphere was also fun. I would definitely go back.

Japanese food was a must while my son and I were visiting NY. I was looking for omurice in particular. I foujd heno heno and wanted to give it a try. We arrived and was seated promptly. Not too busy on a Sunday night plus it was snowing out. It's dark inside and I love the ambiance. We browsed through the menu to figure out what we wanted. I started off with a grapefruit sour. It was refreshing and tasty. For food we decided to order a few things to share. We did chicken skewer, takoyaki, omurice, hamachi Kama and fried cheese. Everything was delicious. I loved the omurice. The Demi glace was good and plus I tasted ketchup. The hamachi Kama was also my favorite. Food and service were both good here. I would come back here. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed all the variety of food and alcohol option here. We made a Rez for party of 7 and they can accommodate more. The service was so friendly and courteous, easy going. We quickly ordered a few drinks follow by a few apps while we continued to order through the service. Overall a great lace to unwind, enjoy a few drinks with friends while having a great meal.

A big plus of Heno Heno is that it is open late! I went in at 11P on a weeknight, and the servers were very nice. The food was fine. The homemade tofu was good, but the ochazuke was too salty.

Food was good, service was good and the ambiance was great! Music was fire! Love it!

Deep Fried Tofu with Eggplant - definitely no no .. the fried tofu too saggy ... Stream pork and stream eel with rice those two are not great taste very blandBut----- Spicy Tuna Avocado Roll is absolutely delicious (coming from a person don't like spicy tuna) Service is great Place is very unique and cute . Price is manageable.

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!

The beef don is so bad. It's like pour all the salts in the bowl. Maybe you should take care of it.
