This was our 2nd visit to Yakitori Hachibei and it is still as good if not better then we remembered it. We sat on the counter which was kind of fun because we got to see the food as it was being cooked. I'm amazed at the skill of the Yakitori master (no idea what to call him). There were two of them, one person preps the orders and the yakitori master cooks them. The room was filled to near capacity but between the yakitori pit, kitchen and wait staff, they kept things flowing. Though we ordered from the Omakase side of the menu, we even had a added some skewers in between and they handled adeptly. We left with full bellys and smiles on our faces. You simply cannot go wrong here no matter what kind of skewers you like. I noticed that they have happy hour from 3-5:30pm, every day and if you want to save a few bucks, that's the way to go.

Japanese skewer restaurant with expanded dishes. Happy hour preset menus, $35 (9-courses) and $50 (11 courses, including A-5 Wagyu) were excellent and a real bargain. Plus friendly, efficient service makes this a must try.

Yakitori Hachibei was excellent! We got the omakase course with a few additional add-ons and were delighted with how everything tasted. Some food highlights were the Cream Cheese Tofu app and the Tsukune and Scallop skewers. We went on a Thursday evening and the ambiance was wonderful. One of our servers, Chaz, was incredibly helpful and attentive. Highly recommended and will be back!!

Loved the happy hour omakase! The only thing I would recommend is more sauce for the first chicken yakitori. Other than that, everything was great!

Service is excellent even though the staff has completely changed over the years. The food is good and I still think it is one of the best Yakitori restaurants on Oahu (that you can get a table at).

Definitely our favourite yakitori place to visit, and that in part is due to how close of a walk it is from home. We had the HH Omakase - definitely the best deal. No need to think about what to order, and the price is unbeatable. Everything was as tasty as usual tonight, I love that it’s true omakase as each visit it has changes to it. Only slight complaint is the wait time for drinks, and a little bit of an extra wait for the last two yakitori. They were kind enough to offer us an additional bowl of the complimentary cabbage which is dressed with a beautiful yuzu vinaigrette.
