Hachi - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

How I went this long without trying Hachi has me baffled. Cause WDYM late night sushi/japanese, reasonable prices, and it's delicious?! I went a few months ago with my siblings on a late Saturday and have been back a few times since for late night Friday grub with my friend. Not only are their prices reasonable, but the staff (I've had the same server every time) is so nice, attentive, and helpful. To top it off, the food is great. I love carpaccio everything and I love their entire carpaccio offering (minus the tuna cause I haven't tried it yet). But the yellowtail, salmon, and beef? EVERY TIME. Their chu-toro is also really fresh and buttery. I love medium fatty tuna more than I like the extra fatty one. But if you prefer the latter, try the otoro. Also, there scallops skewers?! A MUST. A favorite late night cap spot for sure. read more

Not going back. If you like the idea of izakaya and have not tried it, this does capture the vibe well; however the food quality is like middle-of-the-road Japanese convenience store quality. Just serviceable. Service is impersonal and hurried, not at all what you'd expect sitting at the bar, where I was. To Japanese folks, I would say, go to Afuri Izakaya for the quality and atmosphere you desire. Nihonjin ni hao susume shimasen. Teri-yaki wa oishikunaku, honmono no kunsei fūmi ya binchōtan no fūmi ga naku, umami mo mattaku arimasen. read more

I went to Hachi twice in one week because it was so good! First off, Hachi is an Izakaya which is basically a Japanese bar. The ambiance is very much a bar/street food stall kind of place. Loved the hustle and bustle and style of these kinds of places. Don't expect a quiet night out! It gets decently loud, especially when business is booming. Weekends are open late until 2am! Make a reservation if you can!!! We even called on a Friday night an hour before coming and we were still able to land a reservation! It gets very busy on the weekends! Service on the Friday night was a 10/10, our server was actually being trained but he came to check on us frequently! Service on the Thursday was a little less enthused, our server only came to check on us maybe once towards the end. Now for the food and drinks! Drinks -Yuzu nade: yuzu lemonade w/ red wine. 10/10, I love anything yuzu, and it was so pretty! -Whiskey high ball. Comes in two sizes, 16 & 32oz, my friend got the double double and it was so strong! Will likely give you a nice buzz if you get the 32oz, haha! -Peach/Mango/Lemon Freezing Chu-Hais (can be non-alcoholic if you want!). Basically shochu (which is an alcohol similar to vodka or sake) with flavored carbonated water and lots of fresh fruit pieces. -(not pictured): house sake - not too strong, super simple taste Foods -Jalapeno Yellowtail Carpaccio. 10/10 with the yuzu ponzu sauce, definitely my top item! -Yakitori. We got multiple! Shishito peppers, grilled scallops, chicken thigh, pork belly, wagyu. The wagyu just meltsssss in your mouth! Worth it being $8.50 for the wagyu itself. All of the yakitori had great flavor! All differently priced, but worth trying them all! -Bluefin tuna roll. 8pcs for ~$8.50 is an absolute steal! Just melts in your mouth! -Bluefin Chutoro Sashimi (5pcs). Again, it melts in your mouth! Must try! They were out of the Otoro the day we got this but the Chutoro was still so yummy! -Ikayaki (grilled squid). Comes with a small side of spicy mago and pureed/minced ginger. Only thing is that the spicy mayo amount on the plate is so tiny so we had to get an extra side of it for $0.50. It was grilled and cooked to perfection, not too chewy or tough. -Takoyaki. Good ol fried octopus balls, can't go wrong with this guy. -Karaage (Japanese fried chicken). Comes in 2, 5, or 8 pcs. So juicy! -Citrus YTJ roll. Basically if the yellowtail carpaccio was a roll, without the yuzu sauce. This roll only has the ponzu sauce. Still so good!! My favorite roll, I highly recommend. -March 2026 special, Southwest Rainbow. Your classic rainbow roll except with spicy tuna, cucumber and cilantro in the middle. Topped with multiple sashimi fish types and cilantro. I've never had a sushi roll with cilantro but it was good! Had a little kick from the spicy tuna, I loved it! -Honey toast. Probably my least favorite thing because the inside was soft and dryyyyyy, also not a big honey fan. We had to get a side of honey for my friend so he could moisten up the middle a bit and eat it all. They're very generous with the ice cream scoops! Overall, 9/10 place for food and drinks! I'm recommending this place to all my friends and coworkers!!!! read more

Came around the afternoon and it wasn't busy. We were a large table and the service was good. I forgot to take pictures but the ones I did take were delicious. The Lava Salmon was soft and melting, jalapeño yellowtail was also melting and not too thin of a cut. Cocktail drinks are strong but they were also very yummy. I will definitely be back for dinners since they close so late and the vibes seems lively. read more

Came here for my boyfriends birthday, will now be coming back regularly!! I work late nights so i appreciate the hours here. We came at around 10pm on a Saturday and it was full! The waitlist moved quickly and we were seated within 10 minutes. Our server, Ella, was sooooo friendly and made our experience even better! All of our plates were cleared quickly and we were always checked in on us after we tried a new dish to make sure we enjoyed. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing at all. We always had what we needed before we had to flag anyone down. We ordered a variety of sushi and skewers. Standouts being the Tsukune skewers and the Tiger roll. They had a negi toro maki on the specials menu that MELTED in our mouths. Such good quality toro for such a reasonable price! The Tsukune was sooo juicy and delicious, would definitely order more of those next time. Prices are so affordable considering the size and quality! I have been to many izakayas and Hachi's fish quality was one of the best i've had for the price. Also can't forget to mention how bomb the Chu-Hai was. And you can get a refill for $4! read more

Update: went back the next day for lunch to try more food, because I couldn't stop thinking about it. The nigiri were perfect. Cold eggplant was great. Lunchtime wasn't busy at all which was kind of nice since we felt like we could take our time drinking and eating. Love this place! Fantastic izakaya, with great late night hours and prices that will leave your wallet feeling happy. All of the food we ordered was fantastic, especially the marinated tuna bowl on top of well seasoned sushi rice. The Saba box sushi and the lemon salmon roll would keep me coming back too, as would the kaki fry and the chicken yakitori. I love love love that they have chu-hi. Service was friendly and very quick - food came out quickly at well. This place is just like being in Japan with the types of food and drinks they serve. The only thing they're missing is a calpico chu hi option. We will definitely be back! read more

I was excited to try this place and was lucky that there was room at the sushi bar. Overall, I gave it an a-okay. Pros -Food was generally fresh and well-priced. -Menu was broad with lots of options. -Bathroom had a soothing ambience that was a pleasant contrast to the appropriately loud izakaya environment. Concerns -The servers were very attentive but seemed to be wanting to hurry me along despite the fact I was still waiting for my food which I explained. -Despite my regular feedback, it wasn't till about 40 minutes in when yet another server checked in during which I said I'd rather just cancel if my ume shiso yakitori wasn't coming. I was told it'd take another 5 minutes. What came out was good, but probably not worth almost an hour wait with really no recognition of the fact. read more

They have set up shop in the former Toki space and is Location wise very convenient but not so much in terms of parking . We had a small wait before we were seated and then a little bit more before they took our order and the food arrived. For Food we had - Bluefin sampler Fried Chicken Salmon Roe G-spot Jumbo shrimp yakitori Pork Belly Yakitori Yellow tail lemon I found the food average at best - out of the two sushi plates we had the G-spot was really good but the lemon sushi was really subpar . The Yakitori shrimp was extremely bad and I would recommend not ordering it at all . we also had the whiskey High Ball which we both liked . Service was good and I found the pricing reasonable . read more

Without a doubt- the best new restaurant in Portland! I cannot emphasize enough how emphatically I recommend Hachi. My husband and I stopped in for a late lunch on a Saturday at 2. There was plenty of seating, and Hachi was still serving lunch. Their lunch deals are unbeatable- chicken katsu with rice, miso soup, and salad for only $10! In addition, we ordered a tuna flight, 2 negi toro rolls, a teriyaki chicken combo, and 2 sapporos. The total cost was very reasonable and we were stuffed! The Japanese music and greetings were a great touch and reminded us of our trip to Japan. An authentic an reasonably-priced izakaya experience in Portland- we'll be back next time we're in town. read more

This was my second time dining at Hachi, and it was just as enjoyable as my first visit. The first time, I came with a large group, and the staff had no problem accommodating us. We ordered almost everything on the menu and were impressed with every dish that came out. This time, I came in wanting to try their ramen, and it did not disappoint, it warm, flavorful, and comforting. Their baked rolls remain a personal favorite, perfectly seasoned. This place also offers a wide variety of menu options, whether you're looking for light bites or a heartier meal. The assorted sashimi is incredibly fresh, and the yakitori stands out, they are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. They also have a solid selection of craft drinks and beers that pair well with their dishes. The vibe here is consistently lively and vibrant which perfect for a night out with friends. It can get busy, especially on weekends. I came on a Saturday night and waited about 15 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. I really like the fact that they open until 2am on weekends. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, they checked in often and kept our water filled throughout the meal. Hachi is truly one of the best authentic izakayas in Portland, offering great food, great atmosphere, and still managing to stay affordable. Highly recommend! read more

Came on a late Friday night hr and oh my were they busy! We waited less than 20 mins for a table to open up and I'm glad we did. Food was made to order, and came out as soon as it was finished. Everything came out really quick, and tasted amazing. A great late night eat if you're in the downtown pdx area. With cold beers/drinks and great tasting food, I'll definitely be back! read more

I love this place! This actually might be my favorite Japanese place in Portland. As soon as you step into Hachi, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. It gets quite busy during the evenings but you can always call ahead and ask for the wait times if you are worried. Their yakitori menu is delicious and the quality of their fish is also really good. I like that their chuhais have refill options for half the price. My personal favorites are the yellowtail jalapeno, their nigiri, their skirt steak, and anything grilled (their grilled octopus is a must try). Their skirt steak is sometimes very good and sometimes quite chewy. They are also open until late during the weekends. The vibes are very lively without being too chaotic so I think this is a good place to enjoy good food and drinks on nights that you don't want to go out to a bar. read more

Randomly stumbled into this resturant Sunday afternoon looking to take out but ultimately decided to dine in at the bar. Service was good and quick. I got the hamachi nigiri, salmon cut roll, wagyu beef skewer (wasn't my favorite) and pork belly skewer. Total bill came out to about $20 which i felt was good. Their menu isn't very big but I'd love to come back and try some of their other menu items. read more

Visited for Sunday lunch as a walk-in and was seated immediately. The menu is very user-friendly with photos for every dish, which reminded me of a Japanese family restaurant (famiresu) style. ​Regarding the service, our server seemed a bit inexperienced. Even though she repeated the order back to us for clarification, one of the dishes brought to the table was incorrect. ​However, the food itself was up to par. Each portion isn't too large, making it easy to try a wide variety of dishes even with a small group. The flavor was definitely a passing grade. While the atmosphere was a bit lively/noisy, it wasn't so loud that it interfered with our conversation. ​Overall, a solid choice for casual Japanese dining in downtown Portland. read more

A couple weeks ago, we had bought tickets to Foodieland with a group of friends but we were stuck in traffic for so long and I wasn't feeling that great, so after about 30 minutes of just sitting in standstill traffic, we said sorry but we're going to get food elsewhere. Sliding into our booth seats at Hachi was literally a relief in the 90 degree weather, and we were hungry so we started ordering- we got a variety of things from eggplant to sushi rolls, nigiri, and yakitori. It was all so fresh and tasty, we did little happy food dances with each item. Halfway into the meal, some of our friends finally got into the event and they said the lines and heat were insane and that we made the right choice to eat at a restaurant. Hachi was definitely the right choice! The prices were also very fair, the restaurant was cozy and inviting, and we are excited to go back! read more

Loved it! Food was awesome. The yakitori is unmatched! Service was a bit off, but it did recently open!

New favorite but you will want to consider a reservation. Their hours are crazy good on Fridays and Saturdays - open until 2am but they get crazy busy. The restaurant is lovely and has great food at great prices. We tried to drop in after an event and it would have been an hour wait. They were super sweet though and said to just call a few hours before to reserve a spot. Fast forward to a Sunday. We were going to a thing at 6pm out in Milwaukie. I was so happy looking at their hours because a lot of sushi spots are closed Sundays. If they are open, many long close between lunch and dinner {from 2-5pm} but Hachi has great hours. We decided to go at 3pm, made a not needed reservation {better safe than sorry}. We were seated right next to another couple which actually worked well as they were done pretty soon after we arrived. It was nice having their huge window open until the end of our meal when someone's pot smoke stunk up the restaurant. It was such a lovely day out. I just wanted a Coke and was delighted to get a frosty glass with ice that he poured it into at the table - seriously, it is the little things and I love my drinks as cold as possible - that kind of thoughtfulness for your customers means a lot to me. We loved their food. I got the scallops and pork belly from the yakatori menu. I also ordered the sushi special which came with a very well made California roll plus 6 pieces of nigiri. I am not a pink tuna fan so they subbed an extra piece of salmon for me which was perfect. The quality and price - wow! My friend could not stop herself from trying their honey toast and she was in complete awe - it was gorgeous and, she said it tasted just as great as it looked! read more

5 Stars - A Must-Try Gem! From the moment we stepped through the door at Hachi, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. They seated us right away, and the entire experience was smooth and enjoyable. We ordered a lot of food (so much I can't even remember everything!), but honestly, every single dish was packed with incredible flavor. It's one of those places where you really can't go wrong--everything is just that good. The service was spectacular--attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The food felt like happiness in every bite, and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. We're from out of town, but if you're a local, don't wait--Hachi is absolutely worth it! read more

Looking for a place to grab a bite late on a weekday and found most places were closed. We stumbled on Hachi and felt like we hit the lottery! We were acknowledged immediately after walking in and even though they were busy, we were seated in just a couple of minutes. Our server was super friendly and when it ended up that they had run out of one of the specials, she said I know just what we can substitute and it was so good. The food came out quickly and we had the scallop fresh from Japan that was like butter . It's on the expensive side and I think you get what you pay for, the money doesn't go to Instagram worthy decor, just great food! read more

Loved it. Note: see "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" with Richard Gere, which is probably my favorite dog movie. Lots of color on the various sushi so not sure if it will impress the purists. The roll with Yuzu was my favorite. The one with creamy crab and the other with avocado were also excellent. The Takoyaki (grilled octopus balls) were on par. Lastly, the sliced skirt steak (Beef Tataki?) was a winner and a value play. The gin-based cocktail was very good. The only semi-let down was the aesthetically appealing brioche dessert. The parts that were soaked with honey (?) were good, but the rest was simply dry bread topped with vanilla ice cream. Good optics, but wasn't impressed. Service was pleasant and relatively timely. This place is a winner! read more

I am excited about Hachi and having a Izakaya place downtown. My first experience was okay - I had made a reservation but they acted like I didn't have one and sat us in a table really close to another table and said they could only fit us in there as if they were doing a favor getting us in. It felt a little rude and I thought it was odd because there were many open tables with reserved signs on them and I had a reservation. The server also acted like we were somehow in the wrong and he was doing us a favor. But the drinks were fun and the food was pretty good. Some of the dishes had really good cost value but some were quite expensive depending on what you order. I will give it another try in the future but I am hopeful it will be better! read more

I recently took a date here for dinner. We were greeted by the host and sat down. The first thing we noticed was the very limited sushi menu... I believe they had 6 "special" rolls and 5 traditional rolls. I believe that 3 of the special rolls were shrimp tempura. To be honest, none of them sounded impressive. The same host person was our waiter. I sensed a bit of arrogance when we first arrived, but thought nothing much of it, but now it was apparent. We asked him about the two house nigori to which he said, "I don't know anything about them." I said, "Do you know anything at all about them, like is one sweeter than the other or anything?" With his same smug grin, he just said, "No." Now obviously the thing to do here was to ask someone else, call over a manager, google it... do something. He chose to just stand there waiting for the order. This is even more of an issue since this place has a ton of higher end sake, and it seems like it's kind of their thing. We also were not served water nor was it offered. Some places don't do this so we didn't think too much until the people next to us were served water upon arrival and the difference in service was obvious. The rolls arrived and were ok but not great. The size of the rolls were pretty small, but the taste as fine. Due to the lack of sushi options, the arrogant and lazy host/ waiter, and overall unimpressive sushi... I highly do NOT recommend this place. There are a ton of other options out there, so there's simply no reason to give this place your business when there are those who will offer more and who do it better. read more

Went to Hachi on a Friday night around 9pm and it was great! The food was very tasty and was served in a great way to share with the table! Their drinks were also very good though some of them came out a little too sweet. The restaurant itself was very clean and has a great vibe to it for a night out either with friends or with a date. The main reason why I took a star off was due to the cost of everything being rather expensive and the server getting our order wrong, we ordered more food than we ended up getting due to the miscommunication. read more

Every dish we tried was great, we ordered a bunch of items and shared with family style, which is what I would recommend to maximum the value and try as much as you can. You can always order more of your favorites like we did. The drinks were also great, we had a nice buzz, ate some great food, and left super satisfied. If you like bbq, Japanese bbq, or sushi I would definitely give this place a try. read more

I've been here a couple of times now and have had a good experience both times. They have a great selection of food that everyone can enjoy. The prices are very reasonable and the food comes out pretty quickly. I found out that they are the parent company of a couple of other restaurants that I like (in town and in Vegas). The people working here are friendly and attentive. I was able to try a good amount of items that were not seafood related - some of their skewers, which I really enjoyed the tsukune (with poached egg) and pork with negi shio. The beef skirt steak and karaage were also delightful. Their sukiyaki hot pot bowl was also a good compliment to everything. I also liked that they have a Mega Highball that you can order (34 oz).

Hachi has really good prices for really good fish. We enjoyed our food and the cost made us feel like we were in a time machine. They do cut costs in other ways. For example, they are really under staffed. Tables were getting bussed by stacking plates on the table next to us. It was never cleared during our visit. While they don't seem to cut corners with the fish, there are other obvious short cuts with ingredients. For example, the garlic edamame is edamame with a squirt of bottled garlic puree on top. This is definitely the place to go for really affordable and good sushi. read more

Wow. Blown away by how incredibly cheap the food is while still being top quality. We tried so much stuff. - Miso Black Cod: so rich and buttery. A small but flaky tender piece and only $6 - Ikayaki: whole grilled juicy tender squid for only $14. Best eaten right away. - Kurobota sausage ($5): simple grilled sausage but juicy and delicious, perfect beer snack. Served w/ ketchup & mustard Korean style - Beef Sukiyaki: small pot of beef sukiyaki w/ enoki mushrooms and tofufor $9. Easily a satisfying meal for 1 but better shared (as with the whole menu). - Grilled Chashu ($7): not too fatty but juicy w/ a little char. Great w/ rice. - Hirame: 7 pc sashimi for $15, so cheap! But they did nigiri for us since we asked. - We ordered the honey bread ice cream dessert and it was absolutely enormous. We didn't realize it was an entire loaf of bread stuffed w/ ice cream lol. I am still amazed at how cheap all the prices for food were, I guess they must count on selling a lot of drinks to make up for it, as the pricing and portions are great for a place to get drinks and share a bunch of snack ms w/ friends izakaya style. read more

In the evenings/night, the energy is HIGH. It can be pretty loud and it's very busy, reiterating that this is a hotspot. It's usually pretty quiet in the day.
