Good food, reasonably priced with excellent service. It is a small restaurant and pretty loud, but the food and service is worth it.

About the restaurant

A beloved regional destination for Asian cuisine, 8 welcomes guests for lunch and dinner service once again!

Featuring a newly refined dining atmosphere, 8 offers all the menu favorites patrons know and love as well as a few new surprises.

Sourced from New England and delivered fresh throughout the week, live Maine lobster is available for hand selection from saltwater aquariums. Guests can choose one of three preparations – Salt & Pepper, Black Bean or Ginger Scallion.

The delicacy of Peking Duck is also a new addition to 8. Marinated over five days and roasted to perfection, the flavorful, crispy-skinned entrée—served with scallions, cucumber, and steamed buns as well as hoisin sauce—sates parties of two to three.

The number 8 is a symbol of luck and wealth in many Asian cultures.

8 is usually one of our favorite restaurants. Tonight it was different. The service was terrible. It was more than 25 minutes after we were seated before anyone came to our table. The drinks and food were very slow to arrive. Although the 8 at 8 menu was on the website, we learned once we got to the restaurant that it was not being offered. I ordered the tuna tataki special and the tuna was overcooked. It was super disappointing.

Customer service and food was outstanding! It was my first time to visit at the SharpRoast House. The server (curly hair, tall guy) was very informative about their menu that everything was made from scratch like the bread and pasta. I’ll comeback and check for the evening. I went morning in the restaurant. By the way, the reservations using OPENTABLE was outstanding because always reminding about my reservations at SharpRoast House if I still want the reserve.

I had the steak and shrimp combo and it was really good! I wasn't expecting a lot from a sirloin steak, but it was quite good and perfectly cooked. Friendly service and not hurrying us was much appreciated. Mashed potatoes weren't very hot, but OK. Cream corn was the most authentic I've had in a restaurant - and quite good! We'll be coming back next month, I think.

Our food was great but we had breakfast for dinner. From the looks of other food being delivered, it looked great too. Service was okay but I'm sure they are understaffed.

A small group of 5 of us went and celebrated a birthday. Had a couple drinks and some food. Mozzarella sticks were huge and worth the $10 in my opinion. The bacon cheese burger was cooked exactly how I asked and the drinks were not made too strong but also some we weren’t sure even had any alcohol in it other than that everything was great. Our service was fast and we didn’t have to wait to too long. Our waitress was a peach as well. We spent $100 and the add on bonus for an extra $15 and got a little over 800 tickets to spend. We were there for a few hours and still have about 400 tickets left over to use for another time. It was my first time and everyone else is a seasoned goer. I will definitely be coming back!!!

Great stop on our way to White River Amphitheater. Get the best salad it’s excellent. The crab shrimp fritters are a pass. It was bacon fest so we got steak bites w/ bacon. It was small quantities and so so for the price. Service was very good, plenty of time to get to the concert.

Tony! He's the man. We have been going here for years. Serive dropped a bit and pricess went up! However, it was our daughter's birthday, she chose it and it was great. Tony made it a memorable experience and the food was outstanding. He narrates the entire or process of the dinner, I thought it was entertaining. We'll be back.
