Sushi Hachi

STUPENDOUS! the atmosphere is so cozy and cafe-like, unlike other typical loud, rushed restaurants. you can sit down and enjoy the quiet vibe while eating high-quality dishes! the fish are all so fresh, they melt the moment you eat them! you can tell the ingredients are good quality and fresh, and the chef puts lots of effort into making each one. he has lots of talent and it's clear he enjoys preparing such delicacies. you must try their house roll, oysters and chef's choice sashimi!

The location is very easy to find parking. And the service was really good. Felt like a small family run operation which was very nice. It wasn't too crowded inside. The sushi was good, however, I could not handle the wasabi that was put inside the sushi by the sushi chef. Literally constant flow of tears and pain while eating. But it was still good since the fish felt fresh.

I always drive by this place and have been wanting to check them out for awhile so I finally got us a table for my father's birthday as he's very picky with his Japanese food. It's a very small, husband and wife run restaurant so seats are limited and they are only open from 5-9 (Wed to Sat) so reservations are highly encouraged. The quality to price ratio is incredible. I got the chef's choice sushi combo for $30 which was amazing. Their nigiris are also very fresh and good quality cuts. This place is great to enjoy a nice authentic Japanese dinner but don't expect to get in and out right away if you are in a rush as it's just the 2 of them so relax and enjoy your food and company. Parking is inside Pacific Plaza and they close the gates beside Sushi Hachi by 7pm so you would need to walk around the main entrance. I love supporting small businesses when I can and being walking distance from my place, I would definitely come back again. My only regret was not coming here sooner!

I've been here a few times and every time I leave this place really happy. I would say one of the best sushi places I've tried in Richmond, very consistent. I usually order their chef's choice sushi. Service is friendly and food comes out pretty quickly considering it's only one chef making the food. Food is tasty. nice portions and fresh! Highly recommended! I do recommend you call maybe a couple of days in advance to reserve a table before you come, since opening hours are short and most tables are reserved every night. I see many people get turned away when they try to show up without a reservation.
