We loved the quiet intimate atmosphere, perfect for our date night. We were greeted by a wonderful and enthusiastic host/waiter. He shared menu information. We ordered the Omakase. Everything was delicious!!! Our top choices were the Washuyu Tataki, Ahi poke, Butabara, Wagyu, Sukiyaki, and Sumiyaki Oyako Don. We were stuffed at the end but we really enjoyed each dish. We definitely recommend eating here!

I was very surprised at the ambience and food quality were outstanding. Each course we went through the team explained what it was and how it was prepared. I wasn’t expecting this levels of service, quality and quantity of food!I highly recommend yakitori Hachibei to everyone who is willing to try something new.

Corn appetizer was good. Wagyu skewer had too much salt and was like eating a piece of fat from a regular steak. I was hoping for something similar to the Wagyu I had recently in Japan. Chicken skewer had a tad bit too much wasabi(radish?) on it for my taste. I now think I’ve experienced actual wasabi and it’s a very different experience. Also tried the eel over rice. Although the eel itself was good, the sauce overwhelmed the dish for me. Not sure if it was too much sauce or just the richness of it. Rice helped with the sauce. Overall what you order may be hit or miss but I may not revisit as quality did not justify the price.. at least during my first experience there.

Everything was good. My only beef was that the draft beer was a little too pricey.
