Small restaurant but the food is pretty good traditional home style meals. I got the mackerel teishoku and it was made well, a bit sweet and savoury and moist!

Change of ownership. Cannot replicate the authenticity. Food is extremely mediocre and of low standard, quality is worst than supermarket sushi/Japanese food. All the dishes we ordered were tasteless and inedible. Do not get fooled by past reviews. This place is not worth your time.

Just SAD - been coming here for over ten years, not sure if the ownwrship changed because of the recent closure of the resturant but the experience of my visit is unfortunately terrible.We waited 45 minutes with two teishouku order for lunch, with just two tables inlcuding us in the entire resturant … after 40 minutes passed we were told there are only enough bowl of rice for one person. And when the dishes were served, we were told that they are only able to do cold sushi rice or rolls. It’s like you went to a pasta resturant, but they run out of pasta - Hachibei has been known for its Teishouku, and most people visit this place because of the Teishouku, but it took 40 minutes for the kitchen to notice it’s running out of its key ingridient? When there are only two tables in the resturant?Aside from the kitchen, the waitress’ response has been also inconsistent, if we were told there are no rice at all, we might have walked out of the resturant. Yet we felt decieved that the waitress been giving us different responds, all the way up to when the meal is served. Just plain unprofessional from Hachibei’s kitchen to its staff. Sad to see one of my favorite resturant has gone down so poor from its quality of food and service. We only ate a quarter of our meal and decided to leave the resturant, a complete waste of time and money.

Ordered the black cod saikyoyaki teishoku. It was amazing! Fish is well cooked, not dry and very flavorful.Ordered salmon oshi as well. Very tasty with big cuts of salmon on top.Overall price is very affordable and offers good value.5/5 would recommend ?

Obviously the ownership and chef have changed to non-Japanese people and no more authentic Japanese taste in this restaurant. This place used to be my favourite and I recently went without knowing the change. We ordered teishoku and immediately noticed the difference. Sadly grilled fish was very watery, salad dressing had weird taste, tamago-yaki was not house made, miso soup was salty etc.. Such a disappointment :’(

Hachibei is the only restaurant that gets 1 star from me after a short-lived experience. I had a baby stroller with a sleeping toddler inside and had to leave them both out in the cold due to the narrow entry way. There were about 2 employees that I saw. I looked at them back & forth for about 5-10 minutes and they did see me but refused to acknowledge. A very nice lady, who just finished dining there, was very helpful by chatting with me & offering to hold the door for me. After a few minutes still without a greet, I held the door open using the stroller instead. Their customers were understandably frustrated by it because the cold air coming toward them. Even after their customers yelling at me, the staff still DID NOTHING. I had to eventually yell "Excuse me!" to get their attention. The insensitivity is deafening and I was humiliated as a first-time customer who just tried to eat there. Proper training is absolutely necessary for the staff. Had they greeted, realized that I couldn't get in due to the stroller, offered a solution or told me that they can't accomodate a stroller, I'd have saved time to eat elsewhere & not to write this review instead. I eventually walked 6 blocks down to eat in another place I initially was interested in. I told the girl that she should have approached first before their customers yelled at me to close the door. The audacity the girl told me that "I said hi!" with a smirk.UPDATE: I read the other reviews from years ago and so sad that nothing has improved since.
Average taste. Looks nice but nothing you can’t make at home yourself. Nothing special but pricy. Not worth coming here out of the way. Plenty of other better choices for restaurants.

Overall it was great! We ordered deep fried pork cutlets, breaded deep fried seafood, clam steamed with sake, omelet roll with eel, all of them were delicious. However, the organic yakitori was dried out, wasn’t really enjoyable.

Family run business (i think?) and it’s so cozy! My family and i got a variety of things and overall we thought it was good! I got the set with the fried soft shell crab, agedashi tofu, and assorted tempura. Mom got fried oysters and grandma got the unagi don. Standout dishes were:- the soft shell crab + vinegary dipping sauce- the rice- fried oysters- unagi donThe rest were just okay. Portions were good and we left very very full. The waitress was also very kind and patiently explained the specials.
