great food, great vibes, great prices!! since my first visit, i came back multiple times in a short period of time (only reason thats stopping me from coming more often is the location - downtown) the service is super quick and everyone working there is super kind! quick to bring your food and quick to take away finished dishes!! a few things i always order when i go are sashimi salad - not only delicious but they do not skimp on the amount of sashimi!! citrus ytj w/ twist - never had a roll like this anywhere, really citrusy and refreshing! premium wagyu beef skewer - fatty goodness, blissful bite :3 read more

This place is my favorite izakaya in town that brings me back to Japan. The busy atmosphere on weekend evenings, the low prices, and the fast service keeps me coming back. Having just coming back from Japan, me and my wife were craving the experience. So far our favorites have been the sashimi salad, lava salmon, citrus YTJ roll. These are a must order every time. The fresh sashimi salad with their citrus dressing is super refreshing. There's a healthy amount of fish in it too for only $9!! The skewers are authentically prepared. Japanese skewers are on the smaller size but the prices reflect that too. The chicken skewers are less than $3 each which is really nice in this economy. The wagyu skewers are really good too but $8.50 each. My favorite part is you can try so many different options for so cheap. Highly recommend. read more

Hachi was excellent. My group of 5 came on a Sunday with no reservation at 6:00 and we had about a 15 minute wait. Definitely reserve a table beforehand if you have a big group. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant feels cozy. Food is cheap and there were a few stand out items: pork chashu, tonkotsu hot pot, and Takoyaki. Portions for appetizers are small but main dishes are average sized. Would definitely come back! read more

We came on a very busy Sunday! We were quoted a 40min wait & ended up getting seated in about 10min! We were a party of 5, so we understood it would take longer. Everything came out QUICK with how busy it was. It was very loud in there but considering they had probably a party of 15 or so, it was to be expected. The lemon roll was GREAT. Thick pieces of salmon sashimi & the rice was perfect. I also tried the fried oysters for fun & it was good! Wish they had raw oysters on half shell. Everything was great, our waiter was kind & definitely will be back next time I come to down! read more

We were in town and on the look out for a late night bite. We stumbled into Hachi and were pleasantly surprised! Our spread included the Assorted Sashimi, Citrus YTJ w/ Twist, Yakitori Bowl, Sukiyaki Hot Pot, and a Lemon Chuhai to wash it all down. Everything was reasonably priced, the fish was fresh, the service was attentive, and everything came out steadily fast! No complaints here! A really solid all around spot if you're in the mood for Japanese food. read more

I liked Hachi when I first went, but definitely wouldn't recommend for any groups bigger than 4. Felt rushed, like they weren't able to support big groups well. Had reservations and the moment we sat down, they told us we had to hurry up and order because they had another reservation for the large table booked right after us (in about an hour but I was told over the phone reservations are typically for two hours). When we asked a few questions about the menu and were told "just look at the menu, I'll just come back after you've actually looked at it." Without our questions being answered. Once our food came, we were reminded again that we have to hurry because of the next reservation. A few items on the menu also have different descriptions- trio bowl says scallop but has imitation crab. Overall food was fairly priced, and good for the price, but service was not there. read more

It was a lovely place to have lunch, loved the music and the large windows made the place feel so open. I had the tempura plate, the Japanese style fried chicken, and a bowl of the sukiyaki hot pot. All were DELICIOUS, especially the sauces. On top of it all, I had their beer with frozen fruits (mine was with mango) which went so good with all the food. The staff was also very nice and tended to us well. read more

Overall I was disappointed as they did not offer chirashi which I had to explain what it was to my non-Asian Server as well as their limited menu items of maki and special rolls that were listed. Tofu appetizer pictured looked unappealing and not what Agedashi would normally look like. Pictured is the Tiger Roll which actually was quite good along with the miso soup which I had asked if they had it as I did not see it on the menu along with the iced green tea. The other thing that I did not like was the loudness of when the entire staff would shout out whenever a guest entered or left. Great enthusiasm but can yah dial it down a notch? read more

I give this a hachi out of hachi in my book! Basically a 10/10 with some minor notes. We felt so lucky coming in on a Friday night with no reservations. There were large groups of people lining outside but we put our name down on the iPad and got seated within 10 ish mins! Scoreee. This is your sign to be patient cause this Izakaya is so worth the wait! Price point for quality was chefs kiss. You don't really get fresh sushi like this anywhere with reasonable prices! Im taking 5 PCs of otoro sashimi for $25?! Speechless! We outdid ourselves and ordered like 3 rounds of sushi for the three of us and bill came out to $200 ish with drinks! Really easy to do since they had such an extensive menu with just about everything from appetizers, tapas sashimi, hand rolls, nigiri, fried items, sushi ROLLS, ramen/noodles, and skewers! Highlights were definitely the: -otoro (5 pcs ~$25) -salmon medley (salmon belly and 3 other cuts) -scallop nigiri -karaage (5 pcs for $8.99) *pro tip to add their house negi sauce $1 or spicy mayo $0.50 -agedashi tofu (fried tofu) -wagyu beef skewer $8.50 -citrus YTG roll ($15) so refreshing with hamachi (yellowtail), tempura flakes, and a house jalapeño ponzu sauce ! (Apologies for the lack of photos lol. We got too excited since the food kept coming out soo quick we couldn't keep up lol) We also ordered the uni and volcano roll! I might try for the Alaskan roll next time considering it was hard to identify the scallops in the baked roll but still kinda tasty if you're into the warm baked rolls! I was unfortunately really wanting to taste the scallops! Overall we had a great time! Service was nice and attentive! The drinks were really affordable and generous too! My brother in law ordered a chu hi and it came in this huge mug for $14 with an option of refill for ~$7! Such a deal! Arigatou, Hachi! read more

Hachi - Otoro sashimi x salmon medley x scallop nigiri - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Came here for my boyfriends birthday, will now be coming back regularly!! I work late nights so i appreciate the hours here. We came at around 10pm on a Saturday and it was full! The waitlist moved quickly and we were seated within 10 minutes. Our server, Ella, was sooooo friendly and made our experience even better! All of our plates were cleared quickly and we were always checked in on us after we tried a new dish to make sure we enjoyed. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing at all. We always had what we needed before we had to flag anyone down. We ordered a variety of sushi and skewers. Standouts being the Tsukune skewers and the Tiger roll. They had a negi toro maki on the specials menu that MELTED in our mouths. Such good quality toro for such a reasonable price! The Tsukune was sooo juicy and delicious, would definitely order more of those next time. Prices are so affordable considering the size and quality! I have been to many izakayas and Hachi's fish quality was one of the best i've had for the price. Also can't forget to mention how bomb the Chu-Hai was. And you can get a refill for $4! read more

Update: went back the next day for lunch to try more food, because I couldn't stop thinking about it. The nigiri were perfect. Cold eggplant was great. Lunchtime wasn't busy at all which was kind of nice since we felt like we could take our time drinking and eating. Love this place! Fantastic izakaya, with great late night hours and prices that will leave your wallet feeling happy. All of the food we ordered was fantastic, especially the marinated tuna bowl on top of well seasoned sushi rice. The Saba box sushi and the lemon salmon roll would keep me coming back too, as would the kaki fry and the chicken yakitori. I love love love that they have chu-hi. Service was friendly and very quick - food came out quickly at well. This place is just like being in Japan with the types of food and drinks they serve. The only thing they're missing is a calpico chu hi option. We will definitely be back! read more

Great service! Easy sign in for the waitlist. nigiri was amazing, great quality fish. Uni was excellent. Nigiri was all one piece but price was about the same for 2 as any where else.

Went back to Hachi today and man was it great! Got the Suki-YAKI hot pot and a small salad. Their salad dressing is so awesome i want some to take home.

Really glad I discovered this spot! read more

I was excited to try this place and was lucky that there was room at the sushi bar. Overall, I gave it an a-okay. Pros -Food was generally fresh and well-priced. -Menu was broad with lots of options. -Bathroom had a soothing ambience that was a pleasant contrast to the appropriately loud izakaya environment. Concerns -The servers were very attentive but seemed to be wanting to hurry me along despite the fact I was still waiting for my food which I explained. -Despite my regular feedback, it wasn't till about 40 minutes in when yet another server checked in during which I said I'd rather just cancel if my ume shiso yakitori wasn't coming. I was told it'd take another 5 minutes. What came out was good, but probably not worth almost an hour wait with really no recognition of the fact. read more

Hachi - Takoyaki - Japanese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This is one of the best experiences I've had back in Portland over the past 6-7 years. It is no wonder that they have just expanded their hours to 2AM on the weekends. They truly get it right! It's very much like a true Japanese experience. Drink and order as you go and the food comes out fairly quickly. I tried the Otoro Nigiri, Sukiyaki, fried oysters and a half order of the skirt steak. Their Toki highball I started out with was very true to form with great crisp lemon flavor! The sushi was fresh and of high quality, as I expected from a Japanese owned place. Everything I ate was as good if not better than what I'd get from a similar styled establishment in Tokyo or Osaka (my favorite). I'll love coming back here EVERY time I'm back in my hometown of Portland. They "put it on the plate" and do it right, instead of closing for 2-3 days of the week and charging exorbitant prices. I can't say enough about this place. Looking forward to trying their sake menu next time. read more

Not going back. If you like the idea of izakaya and have not tried it, this does capture the vibe well; however the food quality is like middle-of-the-road Japanese convenience store quality. Just serviceable. Service is impersonal and hurried, not at all what you'd expect sitting at the bar, where I was. To Japanese folks, I would say, go to Afuri Izakaya for the quality and atmosphere you desire. Nihonjin ni hao susume shimasen. Teri-yaki wa oishikunaku, honmono no kunsei fūmi ya binchōtan no fūmi ga naku, umami mo mattaku arimasen. read more

Came around the afternoon and it wasn't busy. We were a large table and the service was good. I forgot to take pictures but the ones I did take were delicious. The Lava Salmon was soft and melting, jalapeño yellowtail was also melting and not too thin of a cut. Cocktail drinks are strong but they were also very yummy. I will definitely be back for dinners since they close so late and the vibes seems lively. read more

They have set up shop in the former Toki space and is Location wise very convenient but not so much in terms of parking . We had a small wait before we were seated and then a little bit more before they took our order and the food arrived. For Food we had - Bluefin sampler Fried Chicken Salmon Roe G-spot Jumbo shrimp yakitori Pork Belly Yakitori Yellow tail lemon I found the food average at best - out of the two sushi plates we had the G-spot was really good but the lemon sushi was really subpar . The Yakitori shrimp was extremely bad and I would recommend not ordering it at all . we also had the whiskey High Ball which we both liked . Service was good and I found the pricing reasonable . read more

Without a doubt- the best new restaurant in Portland! I cannot emphasize enough how emphatically I recommend Hachi. My husband and I stopped in for a late lunch on a Saturday at 2. There was plenty of seating, and Hachi was still serving lunch. Their lunch deals are unbeatable- chicken katsu with rice, miso soup, and salad for only $10! In addition, we ordered a tuna flight, 2 negi toro rolls, a teriyaki chicken combo, and 2 sapporos. The total cost was very reasonable and we were stuffed! The Japanese music and greetings were a great touch and reminded us of our trip to Japan. An authentic an reasonably-priced izakaya experience in Portland- we'll be back next time we're in town. read more

This was my second time dining at Hachi, and it was just as enjoyable as my first visit. The first time, I came with a large group, and the staff had no problem accommodating us. We ordered almost everything on the menu and were impressed with every dish that came out. This time, I came in wanting to try their ramen, and it did not disappoint, it warm, flavorful, and comforting. Their baked rolls remain a personal favorite, perfectly seasoned. This place also offers a wide variety of menu options, whether you're looking for light bites or a heartier meal. The assorted sashimi is incredibly fresh, and the yakitori stands out, they are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. They also have a solid selection of craft drinks and beers that pair well with their dishes. The vibe here is consistently lively and vibrant which perfect for a night out with friends. It can get busy, especially on weekends. I came on a Saturday night and waited about 15 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. I really like the fact that they open until 2am on weekends. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, they checked in often and kept our water filled throughout the meal. Hachi is truly one of the best authentic izakayas in Portland, offering great food, great atmosphere, and still managing to stay affordable. Highly recommend! read more

I love this place! This actually might be my favorite Japanese place in Portland. As soon as you step into Hachi, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. It gets quite busy during the evenings but you can always call ahead and ask for the wait times if you are worried. Their yakitori menu is delicious and the quality of their fish is also really good. I like that their chuhais have refill options for half the price. My personal favorites are the yellowtail jalapeno, their nigiri, their skirt steak, and anything grilled (their grilled octopus is a must try). Their skirt steak is sometimes very good and sometimes quite chewy. They are also open until late during the weekends. The vibes are very lively without being too chaotic so I think this is a good place to enjoy good food and drinks on nights that you don't want to go out to a bar. read more

How I went this long without trying Hachi has me baffled. Cause WDYM late night sushi/japanese, reasonable prices, and it's delicious?! I went a few months ago with my siblings on a late Saturday and have been back a few times since for late night Friday grub with my friend. Not only are their prices reasonable, but the staff (I've had the same server every time) is so nice, attentive, and helpful. To top it off, the food is great. I love carpaccio everything and I love their entire carpaccio offering (minus the tuna cause I haven't tried it yet). But the yellowtail, salmon, and beef? EVERY TIME. Their chu-toro is also really fresh and buttery. I love medium fatty tuna more than I like the extra fatty one. But if you prefer the latter, try the otoro. Also, there scallops skewers?! A MUST. A favorite late night cap spot for sure. read more

My review is coming from a place of a life long sushi lover. I have absolutely no notes about the service - it was extraordinary! It moreso has to do with the minimal sushi options. They have a menu of about 10 rolls & at least 4 involve tempura - which to me isn't the sushi I'm searching for. I want FISH. In addition, their beverages were also limited. I feel like if you're more of a novice to sushi this is for you, but if you love fish & fresh fish - then I would go elsewhere. I will likely not be back nor recommend to visitors; however i would say it is satisfactory to perhaps the most average or novice sushi lover. read more

A couple weeks ago, we had bought tickets to Foodieland with a group of friends but we were stuck in traffic for so long and I wasn't feeling that great, so after about 30 minutes of just sitting in standstill traffic, we said sorry but we're going to get food elsewhere. Sliding into our booth seats at Hachi was literally a relief in the 90 degree weather, and we were hungry so we started ordering- we got a variety of things from eggplant to sushi rolls, nigiri, and yakitori. It was all so fresh and tasty, we did little happy food dances with each item. Halfway into the meal, some of our friends finally got into the event and they said the lines and heat were insane and that we made the right choice to eat at a restaurant. Hachi was definitely the right choice! The prices were also very fair, the restaurant was cozy and inviting, and we are excited to go back! read more

Visited for Sunday lunch as a walk-in and was seated immediately. The menu is very user-friendly with photos for every dish, which reminded me of a Japanese family restaurant (famiresu) style. ​Regarding the service, our server seemed a bit inexperienced. Even though she repeated the order back to us for clarification, one of the dishes brought to the table was incorrect. ​However, the food itself was up to par. Each portion isn't too large, making it easy to try a wide variety of dishes even with a small group. The flavor was definitely a passing grade. While the atmosphere was a bit lively/noisy, it wasn't so loud that it interfered with our conversation. ​Overall, a solid choice for casual Japanese dining in downtown Portland. read more

New favorite but you will want to consider a reservation. Their hours are crazy good on Fridays and Saturdays - open until 2am but they get crazy busy. The restaurant is lovely and has great food at great prices. We tried to drop in after an event and it would have been an hour wait. They were super sweet though and said to just call a few hours before to reserve a spot. Fast forward to a Sunday. We were going to a thing at 6pm out in Milwaukie. I was so happy looking at their hours because a lot of sushi spots are closed Sundays. If they are open, many long close between lunch and dinner {from 2-5pm} but Hachi has great hours. We decided to go at 3pm, made a not needed reservation {better safe than sorry}. We were seated right next to another couple which actually worked well as they were done pretty soon after we arrived. It was nice having their huge window open until the end of our meal when someone's pot smoke stunk up the restaurant. It was such a lovely day out. I just wanted a Coke and was delighted to get a frosty glass with ice that he poured it into at the table - seriously, it is the little things and I love my drinks as cold as possible - that kind of thoughtfulness for your customers means a lot to me. We loved their food. I got the scallops and pork belly from the yakatori menu. I also ordered the sushi special which came with a very well made California roll plus 6 pieces of nigiri. I am not a pink tuna fan so they subbed an extra piece of salmon for me which was perfect. The quality and price - wow! My friend could not stop herself from trying their honey toast and she was in complete awe - it was gorgeous and, she said it tasted just as great as it looked! read more

Hachi is a perfectly fine, if not outstanding, sushi place. Food-wise, the standout for me was the yellowtail collar, which was bigger and more delicious than we've had. But that's not why I'm posting this review. Thanks to my wife flagging down a perfectly delightful replacement waiter to order from, we were spared an evening of enduring what may have been a bottom five waiter for me. Before she did, we were confronted with a so-very-cool waiter who stood next to our polite, engaged party of six throwing aloof 'I can't be bothered' vibes, without so much as making eye contact with ANY of us (no exaggeration). To the owners of Hachi; this hire was a mistake. Some people simply aren't cut out for the service industry, and this guy was exactly wrong for the job. My suggestion is let him go or maybe change the name of the restaurant to 'Sushi and Attitude.' Having him on staff can only tell guests you don't give a damn about them enjoying their experience in your place. read more

5 Stars - A Must-Try Gem! From the moment we stepped through the door at Hachi, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. They seated us right away, and the entire experience was smooth and enjoyable. We ordered a lot of food (so much I can't even remember everything!), but honestly, every single dish was packed with incredible flavor. It's one of those places where you really can't go wrong--everything is just that good. The service was spectacular--attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The food felt like happiness in every bite, and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. We're from out of town, but if you're a local, don't wait--Hachi is absolutely worth it! read more
