    Amazing yakitori experience in Hawaii. The only yakitori restaurant in Hawaii we’re aware of that uses imported binchotan charcoal to grill its food. Food, flavor and atmosphere is great! It is pricier than it would be in Japan, but cheaper than flying to Japan just for a few skewers. 😂 100% worth it, and the karaage corn was amazing!

    We went for the Restaurant Week special and it was all good. The last chicken dish was a little bit too salty for our table but other than that everything was great! Nice ending with the sesame dessert!

    Visited during restaurant week Nov 2024 and got the $50 pre-fixe omakase menu with some additional skewers. 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!

    Very good quality food. Subtle and nuanced deliciousness. We did the omakase and it was tasty. Good service and understated Japanese cuisine ambulance. Decently priced at 3pm. The surrounding neighborhood looks a bit sketchy though. Glad it was daylight and delectable.

    A cornucopia of varied Izakaya style food in a relaxed atmosphere. 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.

    This is our third visit to Yakitori Hachibei and food is still consistently outstanding. 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.
