    Saba box sushi
    Katie B.

    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!

    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.

    Squid and steak

    This is becoming our new favorite restaurant. Has a variety of items for everyone and some tasty drinks. The squid is probably cooked the best I've had in a very long time. Nice plus with it being open late.

    I might have found my new favorite Japanese restaurant in Portland. Really dig the izakaya style which we don't have that many in Portland. Food is all delicious and extremely affordable! Opens late which is also a plus. Don't forget the mega chuhai or high ball!

    Tuna flight
    Sabrina P.

    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.

    Came on a late Friday night hr and oh my were they busy! We waited less than 20 mins for a table to open up and I'm glad we did. Food was made to order, and came out as soon as it was finished. Everything came out really quick, and tasted amazing. A great late night eat if you're in the downtown pdx area. With cold beers/drinks and great tasting food, I'll definitely be back!

    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!

    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 .

    Yellowtail jalapeno, chutoro nigiri, salmon nigiri
    Breanne O.

    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.

    Wagyu beef skewer and pork belly skewer
    Evelina V.

    Randomly stumbled into this resturant Sunday afternoon looking to take out but ultimately decided to dine in at the bar. Service was good and quick. I got the hamachi nigiri, salmon cut roll, wagyu beef skewer (wasn't my favorite) and pork belly skewer. Total bill came out to about $20 which i felt was good. Their menu isn't very big but I'd love to come back and try some of their other menu items.

    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.

    The best experience in place for a night out! Our waiter his name is Masa! Was so amazing and eager to serve us. The food was so delicious and his kindness beach meal taste even better! The place radiated with professionalism and family love! Couldn't come here without having Masa as our waiter! We will be back!

    Hannah G.

    I've come here 3 times already and every time has been 5/5 stars! The food comes out fast and is tasty! You also can't beat a restaurant that has late night hours!! It's the best place to catch up with friends + eat/drink!! The workers here are always incredibly accommodating and I enjoy the energy! One of my all time favorite places to go in Portland!

    5/25/2025 - Dropping in for a very early and very delicious dinner before a show on a gorgeous Sunday.

I was looking for food nearby and came across this restaurant. The food was surprisingly delicious! We ordered the chicken katsu curry, kama-age udon (hokkai miso soup), and the kama-meshi seafood. The chicken katsu was cooked perfectly: crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside! The sauce also was the perfect texture and taste. My favorite was the kama-age udon with the hokkai miso soup. I love udon but sometimes don't like how thick it is because it fills you up faster and is harder to digest, the udon here is thinner which I fell in love with! It's soft and chewy and the perfect thickness: you dip it on the soup when you eat it. I also loved the soup, I usually have leftover soup when eat noodles, but I finished every last sip! Definitely recommend this dish if you were to only order one item! We also ordered the kama-meshi seafood. I thought this one tasted okay! The flavors of the seafood come through, but I personally like stronger and heavier flavors. It was worth a try! Parking: This restaurant is in downtown portland so it was difficult to find parking. We ended up parking at a nearby garage and paid for parking. They do have a few street parking spots near the restaurant if you want to test your luck! Seating and service: We were seated really quickly as we went on a weekday! They have several tables and a large table that can be reserved as well as bar spots. The restaurant overall looks really nice and is pretty spacious. The servers were really nice and fast to get you what you need! A side note: they have heated toilet seats in their restroom so that's always a plus!

The Miso cod on special was tasty, but, small. We also ordered eel nigiri, one of the special hand rolls, and yummy sliced duck. Our experience ended with a somewhat unmemorable flan. Service by the lone server was very friendly and efficient, she's a pro. Usually it's points off for a Downtown spot and no parking, but all the inconveniences actually add to the vibe of this must-do Japanese restaurant.

The reservation process was seamless; even without an online booking system, I was able to make arrangements in Japanese over the phone, which was a huge relief. The staff's hospitality makes you feel right at home, even so far from Japan. Regarding the food, it is generally very authentic and well-prepared. However, there were a few minor inconsistencies--for instance, the edamame served as an appetizer was a bit dry on both of my visits. While the culinary quality is high, I think there is still room for improvement in those small details. Also, for those visiting with friends or family, I would advise that the service can sometimes be a bit overly casual with personal questions. Overall, I had a positive experience and would definitely return on my next trip to Portland.
