A Japanese restaurant opened on Thursday at 10-70 Jackson Avenue– where Los Amigos deli used to be located.

The restaurant, Hibino LIC, is being run by the husband and wife team of Masaur and Shuko Fukuda. The restaurant was expected to open in September but there were several delays.

Hibino LIC is now operating six days per week (Mon-Thurs. 5:30 pm- 10:00 pm, and Friday- Sat. 5:30 pm-10:30 pm). However, the owners have plans to extend these hours.

“Once we get everything in place, we plan to be open for lunch…as well as Sundays,” Shuko Fukuda said. She said that could be in about two months.

“We just opened so we are a little bumpy right now,” Shuko said.

The couple also runs a Japanese restaurant in Cobble Hill called Hibino, which has received many positive reviews by food critics.

Shuko said the Long Island City restaurant offers the same menu as the Cobble Hill location. The main difference between the two restaurants is that the LIC location is smaller.

There are 11 tables and 28 seats at the LIC location. There are no plans for a sidewalk dining,

LIC Eater is right – for a short time Lucky Mojo had SPECTACULAR sushi ..now all we have is mediocre.

I went and not so great. The transformation of the space is wonderful. Unfortunately the food falls way short of spectacular. Food for 2 was basically a $100. For that price you can get a really good meal elsewhere. I hope that they up the game quite a few notches. This is basically more of the same sub-par sushi we get subjected to in LIC. Oh Lucky MOJO how we miss you.

Hibino and Mu Ramen. Here’s hoping we have the start of our own Japantown on Jackson Avenue.

Can Queens’ food scene thrive with both trucks and restaurants?

Aug. 19, 2025 By Jessica Militello

In Jackson Heights at 4 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon, Roosevelt Avenue is buzzing with energy as commuters file in and out of subway cars and onto the street and cars and trucks grapple to get down the busy road. The street is filled with rows of shops and restaurants, along with food carts, street vendors and food trucks along the avenue. The almost-but-not-quite the weekend lag leaves hungry commuters faced with another choice to make throughout their day and the array of food truck options in busy areas like Jackson Heights offers customers convenience and delicious food without breaking the bank, two features that can feel vital, particularly with rising costs of living and pressure from inflation.
