The omakase menu is normally $80 so it was such a great value (the restaurant week menu had slightly less items). We sat at the counter and it was great to be able to see the chefs at work! Loved the smoky smell in the air and the overall ambiance of the restaurant. Favorites of the night were the sukiyaki skewers, beef tongue skewers and the salmon, ikura, uni don. This was our third or fourth time back to this restaurant, but it had been about 3-4 years since our last visit. We had a great date night and will definitely be back!

The surrounding neighborhood looks a bit sketchy though. Glad it was daylight and delectable.

The items we ordered were well prepared and attention to quality was appreciated. Unique even among Japanese "yakitori-ya" Hachibei has managed to elevate the experience and serve menu items not commonly found in Hawaii. Hakata style Yakitori is quite different from what I am use to and it was definitely a pleasant surprise. We will be returning for further exploration of their menu items. The only spoiler was the order of which our food was served. The vegetables should have been served before or with the meat selections. Especially the shishito peppers and the asparagus. Both were full of flavors that would have been a compliment to the protein.

We brought some friends with us that are notoriously picky about their restaurants and food quality and they couldn’t say enough good things about it! I genuinely hope major Blangiardi can get Chinatown cleaned up and safe for all to enjoy on a regular basis. There are a lot of fantastic restaurants in the area with so much potential to for more to flourish if the area was properly revitalized.
