My husband, son and I ate here during Wesleyan's parent's weekend. Although it was very busy, the staff was courteous and quick to serve us. The sushi was some of the best I ever had! I was especially impressed to see younger members of the staff pitching in to help bus and clean tables. I am assuming they are all family; all of them were patient and kind with each other, even in the midst of a hopping evening of guests. read more

Best spicy tuna roll I've ever had!!! Wait staff wasn't the best. Boyfriend ordered a beer and never got it. But it was on the bill still.

This place has some pretty good sushi. I had a Philadelphia roll and an alligator roll and I loved them both. I did pickup and was able to place an order online which was super convenient. Their prices are the same as most sushi restaurant. I will definitely be visiting in the future. read more

Best sushi in Middletown! The lunch menu is fantastic and affordable. The service is usually great but can be a little slow when they're busy. read more

There were 3 separate times in which we ordered online and they didn't have the order ready on time and we had to wait 30 minutes or more after the time that it was supposed to be ready. Never coming here again read more

The waiting staff was very friendly and attentive. They recommended that I try a new roll with salmon, avocado, cucumber and tuna, so I did and it was delicious. You are able to get your rolls wrapped in brown rice instead of white which is great for all those health conscious eaters out there. I also had the ginger salad with avocado and green tea ice cream. All delicious and reasonably priced! read more

Hachi - Green tea ice cream - Japanese Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

Ammmmmmazing sushi!! We got the Sweet Beast Roll and the Hawaiian Tango Roll and both were spectacular. Great combination of flavor on the Hawaiian Tango. We also got Green Bean Tempura with Truffle Aioli and a side of Hibachi Noodles. It was the perfect amount of food at a reasonable price. Wait staff service was on point also, very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you Hachi! We will be back! read more

Some of the best sushi we've had in New England, chef was trained in NYC and it shows with the level of execution and creativity. Over an hour from our house but we will definitely be back, so nice to see some really fresh ideas in the roll ingredients that really make sense. read more

Definitely my favorite sushi place in Middletown. When they first opened I questioned why Middletown needed ANOTHER sushi place but once I tried them I never ate at any other one again! Love the tuna bites appetizer so much!!!! The chirashi is excellent! The fish is always fresh. The service is always great too. read more

My sisters (and my sister's boyfriend) came here to celebrate my sister's birthday. We all love sushi and wanted to give this one a shot since the other Japanese places are "ok" in the city. Glad we did! We had 6 rolls between the 4 of us - rainbow, dynamite, hachi stonehenge, hachi kaze, splendid, and out of control. All were done well - fish was fresh, flavor combinations were on point, and all were made really fast! There were 4 other groups inside and 2 more showed up while we were there. Staff was courteous and prompt with everything we needed. We also had miso soup, seaweed salad and ginger salad - all done nicely. Bubble tea was okay - my sister prefers the slushy style. Will definitely want to come back! read more

Hachi - Sushi Dinner - Japanese Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

The food here is decent but not exactly impressive. Also it seems to be a bit more pricy than the other Japanese restaurants in Middletown

It dosen't get much better for sushi, and I'm not talking sushi rolls....but the fish! read more

Hachi has the best Pad Thai in town. I recommend it & their delicious sushi & Bubble Tea. Check it out, very fresh & tasty .

My second time eating at Hachi 8. First time was takeout and second we dined in. Good food and service on both occasions. I ordered sushi both times, but they have plenty of other delicious entrees and starters. The restaurant has a nice ambience and is located right on main street Middletown. Would recommend read more

The food. The service. The atmosphere. Enough said. Forget every other sushi spot in Middletown. This one is it. I just wish they delivered to Westlake. read more

This place is really really really really amazing! My friend has been telling me about how great their Sushi is and how it's like a "party of flavors in your mouth" party is an understatement, it was more like BLOCK PARTY of flavors dancing in your mouth! The sushi isn't your average run of the mill "sushi that everyone serves that just taste like rice wrapped around fish" nope. This sushi is Juicy. Presentation is also amazing I am highly satisfied with how the sushi looked arriving on the table. Normally when you see photos of sushi on menus or on restaurants they have it all looking pretty and perfect like how commercials for American food chains advertise their food looking all nice and when you get it, it looks as if someone slapped your food upside the bun. Not Hachi, the chef puts the little flower on the plate and yes that is so insignificant but it really goes to show the love and attentiveness and effort the chef really goes into making you happy and satisfied with your order. Plus it makes it look all extra FANCY 私は私の人生でこの驚くべき寿司を味わったことがない! (I have never tasted sushi this amazing in my life!) Maggie is such a sweetheart it's not everyday someone from most restaurants make casual conversation with you or even remember your name! [I KNOW SHOCKER!] They usually just place your food on a table and move on. Maggie actually takes the time to get to know your name and if you have any questions or concerns she will happily answer them. This is a place where if you live in or work in around the area you would want to make this a regular spot. Read the other reviews of Hachi they all say how nice Maggie is, I'm not the only one :] I recommend the sweet potato roll, it has that nice blend of savory, sweet with that crunch. I need to stop its 6AM and I can't think about Sushi so early in the morning. The napkins are so pretty! Also, when you arrive check out the atmosphere it's so low key and nice the lighting is just perfect. Restrooms are very clean, the place is clean. Damn, I gave Michael that menu now I wanna look at it! Damn it Michael!!!! read more

I just tried hachi for the first time last week. I think it's tough to judge Japanese restaurants based on yelp. This is due to the fact people are really reviewing two different places in one. On one hand, you have sushi and the other you have hibachi and other cooked food. A lot of the good reviews for hachi, seem to be for sushi. I tried the ny steak teriyaki lunch bento box. At first, I thought they served me the wrong food. I mainly just saw fried dumplings, and other fried veggies. Then, I saw in this little corner part of the take out container had like 3 small strips of steak. The steak was good but I barley got any. The salad was ok, the miso soup tasted horrible. At 11.95 I felt like I was robbed. read more

Amazing service! Came for my friends birthday and she received a free nail set kit. Food was great and came out within a good waiting time.

After trying other places in the state this is hands down the best sushi thus far. Fresh ingredients and everything tastes so good a must try if this is your thing. I haven't had better yet and am impressed every time. read more

Hachi is by far the BEST sushi restaurant i've ever been to. The staff is literally so friendly and the presentation of their dishes blows me away every time. Their prices for rolls are very decent. read more

Some of the best Sushi I have ever had. Fresh. Flavorful. Great textures. This place is a treat!

Have been for takeout several times. Food is consistently good. We get pad Thai and sushi. Add 10-15 minutes wait time for estimated pick up because never ready when I get there but now that I know that can prepare accordingly. Popular place. read more

I love this restaurant! I've been there twice and each time the food was excellent. Service was great and the staff is friendly and warm. So far, I've tried the bubble teas, miso soup, appetizers, and rolls. They were all amazing. The food was seasoned just right, not too sweet or spicy, and beautifully presented. Hachi recently opened and I'm looking forward to going back to try new dishes. read more

Loved the sushi here! I do like sushi on the smaller side, so it was perfect for me. I also appreciated the fact that I could substitute king crab for the imitated crab in the California roll, because I have a gluten allergy. read more

Awesome sushi. We came here on a Saturday night and it was packed! Which I love seeing because it lets me know we made a good pick. Our waitress was very nice and we sat at the sushi bar which was really cool. read more

We really like Hachi for sushi. We have never eaten in but have done both delivery and pickup. Every meal has been enjoyable and we appreciate their creativity with some of the specialty rolls..they definitely have creations we have not experienced elsewhere. read more

Awesome vegetable rolls, as well as vegetable gyozas! Also super easy to order online.

We have been going to Hachi for a few years. The food is consistently delicious, fresh and beautifully presented! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. This restaurant is definitely worth trying, guaranteed you'll be happy! read more

I had the pleasure of dining at Hachi on a quiet, Sunday night and was extremely satisfied with my experience. We were the only table there, so service was obviously on par, but after leaving couldn't understand why more tables weren't filled. I ordered the Boston Monster special roll, which if my memory is correct, is made with mango, avocado, shrimp tempura, chives and lobster salad with sweet & spicy aioli--to die for! I definitely want to go back to try other rolls. The rest of my party ordered steak and salmon hibachi, and couldn't stop raving about the fried rice. I had a taste and was surprised; it had a distinct, hearty and almost meaty flavor. They also have a selection of Thai food, and the waitress mentioned that they are focused on keeping the flavors traditional, as opposed to other restaurants in town which tend to make their food too sweet. I respect their nod to keeping it real, and as a lover of pad Thai, am interested to give it a go. Perhaps I'll have an update soon! For now, 5 stars. read more

Meh food. Decent taste but doesn't live up to the price. We got three rolls, brown rice and fried appetizers. The rolls are neither the best nor the worst ones we had. Rice was good. The fried plate could have been better. read more

Great place for sushi. Very kid friendly. Very friendly staff. Had the fusion specialities several times. They are all very good. The appetizers are good. Finish with the mochis. read more

Hachi 8 took over the spot of Anoho, a restaurant that I loved. I was very sad to see Anoho go and a bit skeptical about trying Hachi, however my boyfriend kept raving about it so we decided to go for dinner. Their pricing is very fair for the most part. I decided to try the hibachi chicken. It came with miso soup, salad, chicken, vegetables and rice and it was only $15. It was very good. My boyfriend ordered the hibachi steak. The steak was very juicy and tender. For an appetizer we decided to get an eel avocado roll. It was good but I thought it had too much sauce. I felt that it was a bit over powering and that It took away from the other flavors but it was still fine to eat. The amount of sauce is just a personal preference and for me it was a bit much. Overall we had a good experience and will probably be going back very soon. Next time we'll probably sit at the sushi bar and order some sushi!! read more

I have never had a bad meal here! the out of control roll is my favorite and their most popular special roll I believe, and for good reason! prices are reasonable and it never seems crowded. read more

Delicious food and the staff were so nice. We had our 2 month old and were so exited to get out during her nap. The waiter talked with us about his sons and the waitress actually whispered and was so sweet. Sushi was so fresh and the lunch specials are fantastic. Will for sure be back!! Great food and good service!!! read more

The absolute best service of any place I've been in Middletown. Maggie is the perfect host - knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly welcoming. Her husband makes VERY delicious, and beautiful sushi. The fish is incredibly fresh and the rice is well seasoned and expertly cooked. Try the live scallop and oysters to start. If you like nigiri, the yellowtail and the Spanish mackerel were scrumptious. I was also delighted to discover they have red bean mochi for dessert - my favorite! I'm looking forward to becoming a regular here, as it's my new favorite dinner spot in Middletown! read more
