Chef Suzuki and team deliver an authentic culinary experience. The fresh sashimi, the grilled eel and the crab croquette all paired well with their selection of craft sake. The egg pudding dessert at the end was a perfect finish to the meal.
This is a cozy, authentic Japanese hole-in-the-wall, and my partner really enjoyed their meal. That said, the flavors were a bit too subtle for my palate, as I generally prefer bolder, spicier food.
When I asked for pepper, I was told they didn’t have any, and when I asked for wasabi with my sushi, the staff mentioned that the specific roll didn't need it. While I respect the chef's culinary vision, I would have appreciated a bit more flexibility with simple requests...read full review

Best Japanese restaurant in the bay area. You got to try the Thur dinner - fresh fish from Japan. Ask for “chef’s selection” no menu free style dinner to get the best from the chef. We have been here 20+ times in the last five years.

Hachi Ju Hachi is a long-standing favorite restaurant for many, offering traditional Japanese cuisine with a focus on sharing their culture through food. The menu features a variety of dishes, including the popular box salmon sushi and other authentic Japanese flavors. The restaurant also offers set menus tailored to the number of people in a group, providing a selection of their best creations. Customers appreciate the sake menu and the knowledgeable staff who provide great recommendations. Chef Suzuki is a master chef, and the staff is known for being accommodating and friendly. However, some diners found the flavors lacking in variety and depth, with dishes tasting too similar and lacking seasoning. Despite the cozy and inviting atmosphere, some felt that the food needed more exciting elements to enhance the overall dining experience. The restaurant has a homey environment with warm decor and a tidy, open kitchen, making it a pleasant place to enjoy a meal, although it is not very busy. Reservations are recommended due to the small setting, and while the food is generally very good, some diners noted that it can be a little pricey for the homey experience.
