    Oyster shooters 10/5 love
    Monica L.

    This has become one of my favorite sushi spots to frequent. The staff is always on point despite their disclaimer on the door stating they are short handed. They're on top of it, delivering quality sushi rolls to my table. The vibe is had immediately as the sushi chefs never fail to greet us at the door. We had some good rolls my favorite being the chubby Andy, the sushi nachos, and the hamachi appetizer. I know this is on the pricy end, but money well worth it to me.

    Pretty chill spot for a simple date night. Service is a bit slow due to short staffing, but the workers are nice & attentive :) Me & my husband were big fans of the salmon auburi & crispy rice tuna. The hamachi kama & sashimi mix were pretty standard, no complaints.

    We visited on 12/26. Since many restaurants were closed after Christmas, we really appreciated that this place was open as usual. Thank you! The food was well prepared and enjoyable overall. While nothing particularly stood out as especially memorable for us, it was a pleasant dining experience and a nice place to stop by during the holiday season‼

    Sakefin
    Easter Y.

    WHAT WE GOT: Sunrise roll & hot mama roll. Sake fun. The rolls were a little big for my liking. A bit too much rice but overall they were fine! It wasn't anything spectacular. I do think you could get better sushi for the price at other places. i think my palate has also just gotten more expensive with sushi haha. We also got the Sake fin, cuts of fish were nice! Again, nothing that stood out to me. AMBIANCE/SERVICE: Service was nice & quick we sat at the bar. Quite a small restaurant so on a weekend i'm sure there may be a wait.

    Spicy Maria

    Been wanting to try this place for a while and it didn't disappoint! Asked the sushi chef Conner for some recommendations and he gave us some bangers! Loved the spicy Maria and the tan tan ramen. Fair warning, it's a solid medium spice, which was perfect for me but a little too spicy for my fiancé lol Food: 4.5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 4 Marcels foodie score: 4.5

    Hot Mama
    Karla M.

    I have enjoyed many a great meal at Ju Hachi, however, I am ashamed to say that I have inadvertently been gatekeeping my FAVORITE sushi spot in midtown. I love Ju Hachi so much that it is where I choose to enjoy my New Year's Eve sushi dinner each year. What a way to close out the year. To be a regular at this quaint corner spot, and get recognized by staff means the world to me. High quality, authentic, and delicious sushi, with good service. Highly recommend. It's not every day that Perfect for a date night, or business lunch. I'm even comfortable recommending my girlfriends to eat alone at Ju Hachi. Sit at the sushi bar, make friends, and enjoy great service. Open late 7 days a week. Reservations not needed but recommended due to the size of their dining area, and staff. Pro tip, ask for an order of fresh pickled wasabi. Be a good guest and offer to buy the sushi chefs a beer, even if they are not able to enjoy it at the moment, they can have it at their shift's end. Here are my favorite menu items : 1. Mixed Sashimi 2. All the nigiri 3. Hot Mama Roll (fried shrimp, crab mix, spicy tuna, topped with avocado, sea steak, jalapeño, sriracha, teriyaki sauce, spicy aioli, scallions, masago) 4. Spicy Maria Roll (shrimp tempura, snow crab mix, topped with avocado, lemon, jalapeños, salmon, white onions, chili oil, ponzu, seven spice) 5. Vanessa Madness Roll (only found on their specials menu) 6. Chubby Andy Roll 7. Mixed Tempura 8. Fresh Oysters 9. BBQ Albacore 10. Miso soup 11. Gyoza 12. A couple few Sapporo to wash it all down, as per usual.

    Overall this is okay restaurant. I went there on a Wednesday night. It was very quiet. There were no other customers other than me. I ordered miso soup, cucumber salad, caterpillar roll, salmon and yellowtail nigiri. Quality is the food was average. Miso soup did not have any tofu, also was very salty. It was super fast and quick service, but as I mentioned food quality was average.

    Faves!!!

    10/5/25 My little man's wanted some sushi for his bday week so we ended up at Ju Hachi for dinner. We ordered almost everything but the kitchen sink to try and items a solid spot. Ambiance is ok, staff was friendly. Street parking available and wasn't difficult for us. Carpaccio was delish and table fave. Soft shell crab was a tad fishy scent :( Agadashi Tofu and spicy edamame were as expected. Rolls were good. We ordered suggested rolls from staff :)

    Capitol Roll
    Abby C.

    The Capitol Roll has made its way to my top special rolls from restaurants. I tried Ju Hachi for the first time, on a whim after working an event across the street and ordered this right before they closed. I can't say too much about the service and ambiance of this place, because I quickly got this roll to-go, but this roll was phenomenal. Besides the Capitol Roll, I also got to try pieces of the salmon maki, and it was delicious. I'll definitely be back during the day and dine-in the next time I visit!

    Amaebi (shrimp) nigiri

    The food was very good and everything tasted so fresh even though my friend and I came in later at night. I would come back again to try more things and I liked the ambiance and vibes of the place. The ama ebi or shrimp nigiri was very good. The sashimi was also very clean and delicious.

    Bacon Bit Tonkotsu Ramen
    Ann H.

    I ordered take out for a late lunch. On this visit, I ordered Wagyu nigiri and Katsudon. It tasted moderately good, but not great. Both items lacked flavor/seasoning. I would appreciate more eggs in my katsudon. I may just order ramen from this establishment in the future.

    Omakase
    Tina G.

    Went to Ju Hachi for the first time on Father's Day and it was a great experience. It was a little pricey though. We went at around 6:30/7 o'clock and found a parking spot right in front! How lucky are we. We went in and got seated right away at the sushi bar. The staff was welcoming. We sat right in front of Chef G. He made us a omakase with the freshest fish and it melted right in our mouths. We couldn't resist getting the ankimo. Delicious!! Overall everything was amazing and food came out super fast!!

    Paul S.

    Always wanted to try this sushi restaurant and it did not disappoint. The service was excellent, sushi bar service was excellent and helpful with selections. The sushi was very good will definitely be back again

The broth is flavorful and satisfying without being too heavy. The white tonkotsu is also very good if you're in the mood for something richer and creamier. Definitely don't skip the geso either! It's delicious and one of our favorite things to order alongside the ramen. Alternatively, if you're not in the mood for noodles, they have an excellent Tonkatsu Donburi. Ryujin can get pretty crowded around dinner, especially on colder nights when everyone seems to have the same idea, so I'd recommend planning accordingly and being prepared for a possible wait. It's worth it, though! Great ramen, authentic flavors, and a spot we're always happy to come back to.

This had the perfect balance of sweetness. It was light and refreshing and balanced the rest of the flavors of the meal. I started with the seaweed salad. It was a solid seaweed salad. Good seasoning and texture. It was a good portion size as well. Melissa and Jonathan had the gyoza. They were stuffed full of meat, but I felt like the seasoning was a little less than and also they were unevenly cooked. I still tried one though because a gyoza is a gyoza. As my main, I had the karamiso ramen with a spicy miso based broth with seasoned ground chicken, veggies and chili threads for an extra kick. I enjoyed this bowl of ramen. It was the perfect level of spice. I am partial to ground meat in ramen, so I liked that this was an option. The veggies were cooked al dente which I appreciated, and the broth was filling and flavorful. The noodles were thin which is my favorite type. Attentive service here. OUr water cups were always filled no matter how hot the ramen was. Solid meal here.

Most recently, my friend ordered ramen that was more sprouts than ramen noodles which was disappointing. It's nice that the ramen spot is connected to the thai restaurant because your table can order from either/both places.

I got the black ramen garlic which came with the usual toppings: roasted pork chashu , corn, green onions, bean sprouts, soft boiled egg, bamboo shoots, and actual fried garlic. The whole garlic cloves were plentiful and so much flavor. The description says fried, but they are so buttery soft, they taste more like they've been roasted or baked in the oven. I will 100/100 always order this ramen. Very flavorful broth. My husband got the chicken ramen, which I tasted, and it too had a flavorful broth. You choose your spicy level. I got medium which was basically mild. The portion and price make this a great deal for a quick dinner in Midtown. I love the late hours and the speed of which our food came out. We ordered the geso (fried squid) and the veggie tempura. I do not recommend the tempura. The batter was thick like carnival onion rings. They need to use panko for breading. The geso was ok, and served with an aioli sauce. Stick with the ramen. No need to waste stomach space on their appetizers. The right half of the restaurant is for Ramen 101, and the other side is for Orchid Thai. You order at the counter and get a number, find a seat. The servers came around and checked on us and helped us with any requests. The nice ambiance from the Thai side carried over to the Ramen side, but both casual. If you didn't know about Ramen 101, now you know.

I walked inside having no idea that it was going to be a top quality experience. The restaurant was huge and it was packed at 5 PM. We couldn't get a table so we sat at the sushi bar, and there was plenty of room there. Plus watching all of the chefs put together the Omakase offerings was really cool. We opted for the Japanese cauliflower curried soup, the black cod special, the king Roll, the watermelon and mint salad and the shrimp and corn dumpling. Every single dish was FIRE!!! The flavors were delicate and nuanced and perfectly balanced. Even the frisée lettuce on the watermelon and mint salad was a flavor explosion. We found ourselves drinking the sauce out of the bowl from the shrimp and corn dumpling. The croutons in the curried cauliflower soup were crispy on the outside and buttery on the inside. The black cod was the texture of a scallop and the squash purée set it off just right. The king Roll was a marvel to see and absolutely a delight to eat. I loved that little hint of lemon that accented the crab and lobster flavors. 1000% recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys really damn good food. Craziest part of the meal was the cost, it was incredibly reasonably priced, not overpriced, like most restaurants of this caliber. We will definitely be back. Thank you Kru for making my special occasion even more special!

The wings were fried and coated with sauce with lots of jalapenos. Service was good as the employee offered samples of all their broths to assist in making a selection.
