| - Been here twice and am in love with the place. We've visited during normal hours as well as happy hour.
*fresh oysters 2 pcs. $3.98 - with a ponzu sauce garnished with scallions. This is a must-get. The oysters are BIG and fresh, they apparently are korean oysters 5/5
*salmon kama - grilled to perfection! Had the right amount of seasoning. The skin was nice and crispy and the salmon was succulent and not dry. Eat with rice to make it into a meal (:
*chashu - this I probably wouldn't order again. Was more lean than I'm used to, dry, tough and overcooked and barely had any sauce on it. Wish it had more fat in it..
*pork cheek - we preferred the pork belly over this. Didn't have much fat on it
*pork belly - delicious! Very juicy and the person grilling knows exactly when it's perfect!
*wagyu premium beef tongue - was a little too chewy for our taste but the quality is there
*Oyakodon - small serving size but had a good amount of soup. Juicy chicken and egg, not overly salty or sweet (:
*sashimi bowl $9.98 - my bowl had 2 ea. of tuna, salmon, whitefish, mackerel, and yellowtail. Fresh, was satisfying and I was able to finish it with no problem.
*nasu dengaku - it comes in two small pieces. Love the flavor but was kind of pricy for the amount you get lol
*Paitan ramen $10.50 - my bf really really loved this. It's on the pricier side compared to most ramen but is well worth it. The noodles had the perfect bite, was neither thick or thin but in between, perfect onsen tamago, and the broth was not too salty, subtle but flavorful.
Use the condiments! The pork skewers with salt went really well with the buta miso paste. Hachi soy sauce was sweet and salty which was different and I used it with my sashimi.
Service here is impeccable! We've always sat at the bar and all the servers make sure to check on you. Refills come on time which is a plus. Chefs are nice.
Overall I prefer Hachi over other izakayas, even over kyara. Kyara will be a close second.
