This was our first visit here on a Sunday evening and we were excited to try. The place was…read morerelatively empty when we arrived but a few people trickled in while we were there. We started with the pan fried dumplings and the duck bao buns, both very good. Then we had a California roll and the fried noodles dish with chicken. The noodle dish lacked flavor and it would've been nice to see a few more veggies in the dish. It was a large portion. The service was friendly and attentive. There is a wrap around bar, tables and booths for the inside dining experience, and there is outdoor seating as well. The restrooms were clean and well stocked. Private spacious parking lot behind the restaurant. Prices a tad on the higher end. All in all it was a fine experience, but nothing from the food to menu options to the decor wowed us enough to want to return.

This is my second review and I would give it more stars if i could. Whenever we're in New Haven,…read morethis place is a must for us. Wonderful Japanese food and great selection of sake!

The upstairs dining room is cozy and intimate. The restaurant is very minimalist Japanese core.

A meal and dinner to remember. My husband and I realized we hadn't had a proper date night in a…read morelong time (even with 2 weeks together on vacation). After much debating and research, we decided it was finally time to try Hachiroku in New Haven. We already love going to The Loop, let's sit down and eat. Heard lots of positive buzz from fellow Yelpers and foodies, including a previous 2024 New Haven Best Restaurant of the Year at the CRAZIES. All of the accolades and positive reviews are well earned. Cozy and delicious. That's what I'd describe about Hachiroku. The ambiance is cozy regardless if you're sitting at the bar or in the upstairs seating. The food we ordered also had the same vibe. The menu rotates with the seasons and the freshest ingredients which we greatly appreciated and it shows in the tastes. Our seasonal selections that we ordered included Hokkaido scallop and octopus carpaccio with ikura and seaweed and monkfish karaage. The carpaccio had the perfect components to complement each other. The monkfish karaage fully came together between the lemon and the side of pickled radish as well. We also ordered house made fresh tofu and added uni. The staff mentioned "oh it's perfect, it's uni season" which made my day. It was so delicious and my husband who normally doesn't like uni even noticed how fresh it was. We really went wild ordering everything, including the mini Harasu don (teishoku which comes with rice, pickles, and we picked the salad), Black Cod grilled with Yuzu sauce, Yaki Kinoko Mushrooms, and the Kakuni Short Rib (which pairs very well with a side of rice). The most cozy and perfect dish for winter was the seasonal vegetable agedashi. Warm and had a nice variety of vegetables with a vegetable dashi broth that healed the soul. We enjoyed every dish and we noticed already when looking at the menu again there's already so many new items to try. Excellent service and suggestions from the staff (because if we didn't have them, we could've ordered the whole menu in one night). Can't wait to come back and rave about Hachiroku (and its sister stores/restaurants) to everyone!

Seems the owners spent more time on decor than on training staff…read more We ordered several items and none were any good. I also asked the server if they had sashimi and he said "Not Yet" Huh? Food: Then I tried the rolls and pretty sure I know why. All the rolls are covered in SO much sauce that it's impossible to actually taste the fish. Tuna or Salmon, who knows? The rainbow roll, which I have never had any sauce on in 30+ years of ordering, was covered here. The sad truth is that is typically an indication of using low quality or not so fresh fish. The fish should be able to stand on its own! The yakitori? The beef was not chewable, the pork belly was decent and the scallops were good. Outside of the beef, this may be the only decent edible option. Service: One server, even though it's a small place, it's not enough. Also factor in that he seemed to be somewhat clueless of how the process works. We almost left, as it was 5 minutes before we could get his attention to take our order. The rest of the meal time was not much better. Overall: Seems this place has been open long enough to fix these issues. I guess the owners do not care enough to do so.

A small, cozy restaurant that is decorated to full anime vibes: anime art covering the walls from floor to ceiling for favorites like One Piece, Dragon Ball, and many more (how many can you name), dividers, lanterns, cherry blossoms - it's a total vibe! The menu is small, but has a variety from entrees, sushi, noodles, and shareable appetizers. There were specials as well that we took advantage of and ended up with a lot of food. My husband and I shared the Yukitori Platter, something that I haven't seen before on a menu. It's a Japanese street food that has skewered meat. Our platter had chicken, shrimp, beef, pork, and zucchini and each were very good. My husband got the Gyu Don (which is a beef bowl) and for $5 more, he got the set that included three side dishes and a miso soup. I ordered the Shrimp Tempura Udon and made it a Combo for $5 more which included a classic Brown Sugar Bubble Tea and a Pork Bun. I loved my Udon, was flavorful and not too salty. The bubble tea was perfect, even the tapioca pearls weren't too hard or gummy. The service was good, but it was a slow start since there was only one staff member hosting and serving the dining room. It was a little busy with a couple of other tables. The staff were very kind and respectful. The food came out fast after we ordered. Akatsuki is really a hidden gem and it's a must try. My husband and I look forward to returning soon.

Wasabi is solid spot for locals craving sushi, and our latest visit was a reminder that we should…read morevisit this establishment more frequently. The space is on the cozier side, but perfect for our family trio. We found the service warm, inviting, and attentive. Case in point, our server provided a training chopstick to our 3 year old without being prompted. Later, being the klutz I am, I spilled a little soy sauce while pouring, and our server, without notice, came through in the clutch with extra napkins. Throughout the meal, she was consistently diligent in keeping our table clear of any unused dishes. Lastly, I appreciated the warm welcome we received from the staff both as we arrived and departed from the restaurant. This might not seem very impressive to those reading, but this subtle attention to detail is surprisingly often overlooked by many restaurants I've visited recently, and often underappreciated by the guests who dine in them. If you're looking for a no frills sushi joint with a welcoming and hospitible atmosphere, look no further than Wasabi.
