I went to August 8 a lot in Hamilton and was excited when one opened up closer (not really that close) to me!
The entrance is a little confusing because I entered on the left side of the patio then had to walk around and I felt like an idiot. I then saw the sign that they don't take debit or Amex but thankfully they had a ATM right in the lobby so I just took cash out right away. There was only a $0.75 service charge.
I was seated right away, I like how the tables for 2 are usually booths so you get a lot of privacy compared to Heart Sushi where everything is so open.
August 8 runs on an iPad ordering system which I love because it's so much faster since it's sent right to the kitchen! The menu was big but there's simple things they were missing such as Avocado Salad.
I liked how they had a big AYCE Dim Sum menu since most places only has 3 options! I think I ate more Dim Sum than I did sushi.
Overall, I liked the experience and would return back to August 8 despite the drive. Weekend dinner price is $30.99
