Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Yakitori Hachibei offers an authentic Japanese dining experience in the heart of Chinatown, Hawaii. Guests rave about its "excellent service" and "delicious omakase" options. The Happy Hour Omakase is a "steal" at $35. The atmosphere is warm, and the skewers, especially the beef tongue and chicken, are "cooked to perfection."

We dined here during Happy Hour and left extremely happy! The service was excellent, the Happy Hour Omakase was delicious and such a great deal at $35 for 10 courses. Our favorites were the sukiyaki with egg, tsukune (ate it with the leftover egg), and beef tongue (not part of the omakase). Highly recommend and will be back again. Mahalo for making our celebration special for us Yakitori Hachibei!

Made a reservation for my birthday dinner and it was a stellar experience. We all ordered the omakase and had the lychee high ball. Everything was flavorful and had amazing textures. Despite being busy, the waitresses were an attentive team. They cleared plates when finished, explained what each plate was, and offered watered or alcohol as we needed. I would definitely come back.

Happy hour special of $35 OMAKASE is a steal! Pairs perfectly with their draft Suntory. It's an izakaya in the middle of chinatown with welcoming service and mouth-watering aromas that'll have you walking out smelling like the grill - in a good way lol. When skewers hit the fire, I immediately began craving the cheesy plates I'd wipe out in 日本, but YH unfortunately doesn't offer any. Nonetheless, 全部でとてもうまい - everything was delish! Sitting at the bar is the way to go, tho I recommend avoiding seats in front of the smokescreen.

Tried new offering of omakase 13 courses which was a nice blend of different menu plates. I would suggest, however, adding a seafoodto the courses. We've eaten at Hachibei several times and selected our plates so this was a good change. But we previously had some seafood which we missed having this time. Rice stick was also different. Previously we've had squares, not a long meatball grilled. I prefer the squares. Overall, the food was fabulous, delicious, as usual, service impeccable as well.
