The best value is the chef's tasting menu at $37, which comes with several tasty starters and an excellent array of fresh sushi. Top notch!

I love the scallop and octopus sashimi. My favorite rolls are between the capital or volcano. The prime beef hot stone is a must to excite the senses. Try the shiitake mushroom roll if you're vegetarian!
Every. bite of food was delicious. We did have some minor service issues but they were handled politely with an apology and a smile. We'll go back again.

Food is bland no seasoning on the fried chicken and I would not call this the fresh sushi I’ve ever eaten

Leo the owner is the man! If you don't like the sushi roll you order, they will cook you another one and you only pay for what you like. Amazing policy that more restaurants should adopt to get return customers.

Sushi Hachi is my favorite restaurant for sushi in the city based on its value. There are other far more expensive and luxurious spots, but Sushi Hachi really finds the perfect medium by providing ingredients with a noticeably fresh taste without going overboard on complex fancy dishes and drinks. The simplicity of the menu, the comforting ambiance, and the attention to detail — specifically regarding the beautiful ceramics, like the sake cups you get to pick from — make this one of my favorite places (I even went for my birthday this year).

Diego was our friendly server. He was totally fine. Overall the food was very mid. We tried a couple hundred dollars worth so we def made our way around the menu but I wasn't too impressed tbh. We even gave creative control to the chef and what we received was basic. We ordered a bottle of wine and didn't get any wine presentation by a different server. He just opened and poured. Heard good things so maybe give it a shot, but i personally won't be back for that.
Sushi Hachi has a nice ambiance, but the experience was a bit underwhelming. The sushi was decent—fresh, but not extraordinary. While the food was enjoyable, it didn’t quite live up to the hype.
The service, unfortunately, left something to be desired. It felt a bit slow and inattentive, which detracted from the overall experience.
If you're nearby and looking for decent sushi, it's worth a visit, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

The sushi use to be much better. I don’t know if they had a change in the kitchen but my last two orders were terrible. The sushi is poorly cut/prepared and I can no longer order from them. I’m so sad as I use to love their sushi

I’ve ordered take out from here before and the food was decent. However, tried again today and was quite disappointed. The sushi was not at all fresh and the presentation was incredibly poor. It reminded me of the sushi that you’ll get from a Chinese buffet vs a sushi restaurant.

Sushi Hachi is high quality at s very affordable price. They are my go to take out spot and I'm always pleasantly surprised when I go in person. Their special rolls come in smaller orders, which also means a lower price tag. So, if you're indecisive like me, that gives you some room to try a few. If you go in person, the hot stone beef is a must. For the price point, quality, and presentation, it's definitely worth and that value is hard to come by in DC. I find the quality of the fish excellent, and, as such, any of the sashimi options are a great and reliable choice. Can't recommend this place enough. DC needs more restaurants like it.
