    Thank you for an incredible birthday dinner!! It was like being transported to someone's home in Japan!

    A truly homey, comfort food feel, informal, artisan atmosphere. One of our party had lived in Japan for ten years and was totally impressed by the dishes, many of which cannot be found in most Japanese restaurants but what you might find in a Japanese family meal. Reasonable prices as well. Perfect for a cold winter night. Not that crowded, and deserves more customers given the unique country inn feel and excellent food.

    Hachi Ju Hachi feels like a small family run place you would find on any street in Japan. Nothing blows you away but that's not a bad thing. All the flavors are delicate and nuanced so you can really taste each ingredient. The gyozas are handmade. The thinly sliced daikon roll is lightly vinegared to bring out the flavors of salmon. The katsu curry is made from scratch - not the boxed curry like most places. Probably priced a little high for what you get so this will never be a weekly go-to place for us. The nigiri/sashimi will definitely add up if you order multiple pieces like we did. But when you crave home cooked Japanese that is well prepared definitely give it a shot.

    Really wanted to like this place but quality doesn't warrant the price. Best dish was the chawanmushi imo. Yam cake in yuzu was fine but looked very easy to make at home. Steak was small and tough and not worth the $28 price tag. 8 pieces of nigiri were unfortunately all fishy. Total bill came out to ~$170 and we left hungry.

    Wow what a fun food adventure. I could tell Immediately that this family began the business to share their culture with you. This isn't a sushi restaurant, though they have a few rolls. They want to share traditional Japanese food with you. And to that, they prepared a "set" list of dishes for you to try based on the amount of people in your group that feature, I'm guessing, their best recommendations of their creations. And it did not disappoint. Knowing I don't know what I like or what's good, we went for that option. Two of us shared the 2 person set, and had a nice sake to go with it. They have a great little sake menu! Also not knowing what I'm into there's she had great recommendations. So many flavors I've never had and I loved every bit of it!

    I went in for dinner at Hachi Ju Hachi and had zero expectations. Growing up in saratoga meant that this restaurant was a known staple but somehow I had never been. I brought a friend who has also been exposed to some of the finest dining globally and we were both blown away by the quality of food and service at this restaurant. The chef not only dedicated time to explaining each dish to us, but even went out of his way to create a complimentary dish that was exquisite. Frankly this experience was mind blowing and you can sense the chef's passion and love for his craft. It was intimate and welcoming immediately and we maintained ear to ear grins throughout the whole meal due to the impeccable quality of food. We walked out with an even bigger smile contemplating the likelihood of this place catering for our future weddings hats off to the team at Hachi Ju Hachi.

    The food has been amazing since we first ate there around 2012. The quality of the food is excellent, flavors are delicate and so well considered. Don't expect big, bold and loud flavors like other Japanese restaurants. The dishes here are subtle, quiet, and more like a gentle stroll through the woods with the occasional bursts of delight. They are always kind and cheerful. I wish we lived nearby so we can go more often.

    Duck Ramen

    Tried out their New weekday special, Duck Ramen! Pan-seared duck breast over a clean, light broth and bouncy noodles. Perfect for summer honestly, eating heavy flavor based ramen isn't too appealing in such hot weather so this really hits that sweet spot. Comes with lovely house marinated shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots as well. A very well composed dish from Chef Suzuki once again! Drop by the restaurant Tuesdays and Wednesdays to dig into it! Order some of their homemade gyoza to go with it for a lovely meal.

    Pork belly stew!
    Craig V.

    Hachi Ju Hachi is a quaint Japanese restaurant in the quaint Saratoga town. Came with a reservation for a Saturday night and came with lots of excitement. The octopus appetizer, mushroom, and pork belly stew were so so good and if it were just that, I'd give this place 5 stars. The octopus was well cooked and the flavors matched the veggies and sauce. The mushroom soup was clean and the broth . The sushi was just alright, and the mackerel was actually not that good and that lowered our experience alot actually. That plus the pricing was really high for the mackerel... Overall, don't expect a sushi place, it's actually more of a Japanese other foods restaurant. And please do not get the mackerel.

The smoky tempura roll was indeed smoky, and very saucy + slightly sweet. Definitely a unique roll! The Suro Titanic roll was HUGE. Jaw breaking even. The name was very fitting. We also had the Sushi + Sashimi + Roll Combo. I really liked the spicy tuna roll, but I thought the rest of the fish quality on the nigiri and sashimi wasn't anything crazy. Lastly we had the spicy kimchi ramen! Yum! Service was inconsistent. Some workers were nice and others not. We finished with complimentary mochi ice cream which was awesome! Casual ambience.

There's always a line for this place, sometimes forming right before they open. Located in the Mistuwa plaza, parking can be pretty hit or miss.

Wow, the fish was incredibly fresh and nicely prepared. The fish on top was seared but didn't taste heavily of gas as many other seared fish I have had. Staff was very nice and attentive.

The kinmedai sushi had a soft fish texture with some subtle sweetness. This was fine. The sushi dinner, this is one of the items I got here previously and it was okay - nothing too special, good fish variety. It also comes with a miso soup, and a side salad. The seafood yosenabe was pretty good, it had a mix of pieces of salmon, a white fish, fish cake, tofu, shrimp, napa cabbage and carrots in a dashi broth with fish flavor. This also came with a bowl of rice, miso soup and a salad. Decent portion and great for a cold day. Overall - this time the food was okay for me.

Upon checking in & arrival, a gentleman [whom I assume was management] asked that we be patient with service due to only having 2 servers on hand. Not sure if it was bad scheduling or if someone called out but we agree'd and hoped for the best.

There were a number of occasions where we just flagged staff for requests. Shout out to Carlos- this young man was always upbeat, mind, and very welcoming. He made every interesting a breeze and happily obliged with customers inquiries. REGARDLESS OF HIM NOT BEING OUR ACTUAL SERVER! Once dinner was over, Carlos stopped by to see if we wanted to order dessert. We slyly asked if there could be any singing for the birthday babe and he 100% made it happen- even if he was the only staffer to sing along with our party. 5/5 stars!!! This TY and review is specifically dedicated to Carlos. Our entire party appreciates your efforts and your high quality work ethics are undeniable. Thank you for making the birthday babe feel loved- she absolutely left the restaurant with warm, fuzzy feelings.
