| - This is such a great addition to the NC Music Factory. I think this area and surrounding businesses will benefit from having a solid sushi option here.
I stopped here before CFG Style Week to grab dinner with some girlfriends. I love what they have done to inside of the place. Big upgrade from Bask. I would describe it as a trendy and chic decor. Some really cool work by a local artist.
In celebration of its grand opening, Eight has been running sushi special buy one signature roll and get a classic roll free. Check the restrictions... valid Tuesday-Thursday for a limited time only.
We each ordered two rolls. We went with the Hilo Poke Roll, Spider Roll, Hamachi Ponzu Maki, Krazy Roll, Panko Tuna Roll and the Alaska. That food didn't stand a chance. It was all good. I really liked the combination of the Hamachi Ponzu Maki. Spicy Yellowtail and Cucumber Roll, wrapped with Yellowtail and Avocado, Shaved Serrano, Cilantro & Shisa Pesto. I don't think I've ever had a roll with pesto. Hilo Poke was also great.
I also ordered one of the boozy bubble teas. It's like an interactive milkshake for a big kid. Oh, but with some alcohol.
There is free parking available in the lot across from the Fillmore. If you don't feel like walking, there's also usually valet right inside the fountain area. I think it's just $5. I always go for the free and the exercise... well, unless it's raining or my shoes are too big.
I will definitely be back. I love that the Music Factory has another choice for food when it comes to pre-gaming for a concert, comedy show, event, etc. Good luck to you Eight Sushi!
