    I waited 3 weeks for my reservation. The place is small and parking is hard. But all in all food was awesome. Their food was so tasty that my daughter said it's her favorite place to eat now. I don't know what the soup is made off but we couldn't get enough of it. Love every thing we ordered. Going for a second meal next week end. Love this place.

    Hachi never disappoints. Best service (all smiles), great food, great variety, they know how to pour a cold draft beer and the excellent music collection is played at the perfect low background level so you can have a pleasant conversation with the rest of your table. The Red Snapper sushi is so good.

    I booked one week early for my wife’s birthday and was told I couldn’t even have a table. Obviously reservation and special instructions mean nothing to them b/c “they are just a small restaurant”. The food is ok, above average, but whole experience such a bummer

    Always enjoy the food here. It is a Japanese tapas restaurant, which typical pub food for Japan. The menu has plenty of variety of great small plates. I highly recommend this restaurant for Izakaya.

    The food and service here are top notch. Made a reservation for Sunday and got a booth, which was a nice surprise. The Family menu, which serves 4, was perfect for our group. The beer was served in a frosted pitcher, and the beer glasses were chilled as well. Service was very attentive and the atmosphere was perfect.

    Authentic Japanese sushi bar experience. Food was very good. Service was spotty. Dishes came out out of order. Miso soup served after main course. Every thing seemed to be rushed. Overall good, but not great.

    When we arrived for our reservation the hostess mentioned to me that we were late 15 min, which they usually cancel the reservation, but since they weren’t busy, she let us sit. We actually arrived 10 min late but we were waiting for her to acknowledge us for 5 min, thus making us 15 min late. While at the table, the service was slow despite it being a Tuesday and not very busy. The food, although delicious was very small and expensive (which I expected of a yakitori izakaya). We wanted to order more food and I let the hostess know because she was clearing our table. She said she would send the server to take our order. The server didn’t come for another 20 min. We were able to wave down the server and by that point we wanted to leave and get the check. Took her another 15 min to get the check. Overall, food is good but there are so many other izakayas with better pricing and so much better service. I would not recommend this place.

    Great authentic small izakaya. Service is smooth and attentive, and the atmosphere, tho a bit noisy, is perfect for a place like this. Beer is super cold and served in chilled glasses. Menu is relatively small and my only complaint is they don't serve many vegetarian dishes nor do they have one of my favorites, unagi. But it's not a deal breaker at all. Reservations are strongly suggested, and mandatory on weekends. Parking can be a nightmare.

    Having enjoyed many meals here pre-COVID, I was delighted to be able to return and to find that things were as good as I had hoped they would be even and despite what the past two years have brought to other restaurants. The food is outstanding - very typical of izakayas in Japan (try Midnight Diner on Netflix if you like this.....). I look forward to returning again soon.

    For whatever reasons, Izakaya Hachi is not as good as it was Pre-COVID-19 pandemic. I’d average at best not. Usually a 750 ml bottle of wine would pour four glasses, but Izakaya Hachi stretches it to five when selling by the glass at 150ml. The short pour is very noticeable causing one to ask.
