    Every dish from starter through dessert was not only outstanding, but unusual preparations. This includes perfectly cooked salmon with a chili pepper sauce, the beet starter with creamy goat cheese, and a Thai peppery chocolate dessert. Even the cocktail special was unusual but delicious. Service was prompt and outstanding, and they left a pitcher of water on the table - a plus in my book.

    GREAT place and food really enjoyed it. I just wish we could order off a menu not the app it really takes away from the experience having to look at my phone between each order and scrolling through to see the options.

    I made reservations. The food was so good. Value for the food was amazing. Service was good too. The food came so fast to the table. Plus it was my birthday snd we got a discount for that. The restaurant is modern but the food reminds me of old Japanese food when I was growing up which is hard to find in Oahu. Mahalo, it was the best.

    Excellent surprise on Hotel Street. We usually default to FETE before a Hawaii Theatre show but Hachibei is now our go to. Food was quite excellent. Definitely worth going to.
