Their menu felt extensive and creative a decade ago, and still holds up well today. I'm sure they've made refinements since they've opened, demonstrating their ability to evolve and adapt. It seems they've always taken pride in the presentation of their offerings, and that remains true to this day. I wasn't too impressed with their ramen back then, so I'm curious to see if anything has changed. The sushi and cocktails remain as tasty and enjoyable as I remember, and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the kid's bento box. Takumi is easily one of the better mid tier sushi spots in Connecticut, and I'm surprised I haven't visited them more over the years. That will definitely need to change!

After much debating and research, we decided it was finally time to try Hachiroku in New Haven. We already love going to The Loop, let's sit down and eat. Heard lots of positive buzz from fellow Yelpers and foodies, including a previous 2024 New Haven Best Restaurant of the Year at the CRAZIES. All of the accolades and positive reviews are well earned. Cozy and delicious. That's what I'd describe about Hachiroku. The ambiance is cozy regardless if you're sitting at the bar or in the upstairs seating. The food we ordered also had the same vibe. The menu rotates with the seasons and the freshest ingredients which we greatly appreciated and it shows in the tastes. Our seasonal selections that we ordered included Hokkaido scallop and octopus carpaccio with ikura and seaweed and monkfish karaage. The carpaccio had the perfect components to complement each other. The monkfish karaage fully came together between the lemon and the side of pickled radish as well. We also ordered house made fresh tofu and added uni. The staff mentioned "oh it's perfect, it's uni season" which made my day. It was so delicious and my husband who normally doesn't like uni even noticed how fresh it was. We really went wild ordering everything, including the mini Harasu don (teishoku which comes with rice, pickles, and we picked the salad), Black Cod grilled with Yuzu sauce, Yaki Kinoko Mushrooms, and the Kakuni Short Rib (which pairs very well with a side of rice). The most cozy and perfect dish for winter was the seasonal vegetable agedashi. Warm and had a nice variety of vegetables with a vegetable dashi broth that healed the soul. We enjoyed every dish and we noticed already when looking at the menu again there's already so many new items to try. Excellent service and suggestions from the staff (because if we didn't have them, we could've ordered the whole menu in one night). Can't wait to come back and rave about Hachiroku (and its sister stores/restaurants) to everyone!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Mazeman Surf & Turf, and there were plenty of other items on the menu that piqued my interest that I'll have to save for another visit. Their website only highlights their dinner menu, but they also offer lunch and brunch as well. Staying under the radar seems to be Hachiroku's M.O., but it would be nice to have more visibility into their current offerings across all their concepts. I wasn't in "the loop" of Hachiroku's expansion plans, but apparently they just opened another location at 20 George St. I'm not sure if that's the reason for the quiet Sunday night, but there was only one person running the front of the house, which was enough to maintain a smooth service. I would love to see this place bustling to the point where they require a full staff to run it, but as long as the doors stay open, they can keep doing whatever they're doing.

Variety is the same if not slightly (im saying this loosely) different from asian markets you can find in east hartford, or g-mart in milford. The store is small. Prices are high because tariffs and exorbitant shipping. There are too many asian markets in the tri-state area for this crap. I got a few buns, some candy and other snacks for the weird al show. I asked how long was the store open and the cashier was standoffish but answered me. She just could NOT WAIT for me to leave.. I'd rather pay the high shipping and tariffs than be judged and treated poorly in person for my foreign snacks hobby.

Lunch is $22.99 ALL WEEK, not just weekdays, and dinner is $32.99. They also have an all-you-can-eat Cajun seafood boil add-on. If you want snow crab legs, it's only another $10 with dinner. If you don't need the snow crab legs, it's only an additional $5 with lunch. Honestly, where are you getting a better deal for all-you-can-eat Thai, Japanese, Chinese, dim sum AND sushi?! I also love the tablet ordering system. There are pictures and descriptions for almost everything, so it's really easy to order. Everything is freshly made to order and they bring the food out as it's ready instead of waiting for your entire order to be finished. So things are constantly showing up hot and fresh. I've tried pretty much everything at this point Portions definitely vary. Some things are smaller, while the Chinese entrées are probably some of the biggest portions. The sesame chicken is SO GOOD. Super crispy, savory and flavorful on the outside but still juicy inside. The sushi is great too, although once you've completely overstuffed yourself, they all start tasting a little alike LOL. But seriously, everything we had was hot and fresh. Zero complaints. The inside is a little dark, but in a cozy/intimate way, and there's still plenty of lighting. From what I remember, it's mostly booths and they're really comfortable. Bathrooms have always been clean when I've been there, and they also have a walk-up hot bar and dessert bar. I leave here absolutely STUFFED every single time. It's worth every penny and then some. I already can't wait to go back and try the Cajun seafood boil next!

For starters, I had miso soup and edamame (my go-to favorites), while my husband ordered a few sushi rolls. I wrapped things up with the basil shrimp fried rice, which was chef's kiss perfection.

We had fried Gyoza to start - very good. And then ordered off the special rolls menu and got a Double Decker, Sunshine, and Caterpillar rolls. WOW! Of course, we dug in instantly and I didn't remember to get a photo until we started to slow down. Each one was unique in that the Double Decker had a sauce on it that was slightly sweet but not overwhelming, Sunshine was rolled in caviar so it had that pop and the Caterpillar was crunchy. They were exceptional. 2 Sapporo in chilled mugs. Great food.
