Hachi Hachi - Christchurch

I had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. The service was exceptional and the staff were very friendly. The dumplings were delicious as well. I highly recommend it!

I've been here for years, never eating bad. the oldashi tofu is amazing.

I really enjoyed the food, but the customer service was a bit odd. I felt a bit uncomfortable, almost like an outsider. When I went to buy some alcohol, I stood at the bar while the staff member just stared at me. I wasn’t sure if she was working the cash register, so I approached her, and then she finally came over to assist me. We went back to the register to pay, but she seemed a bit confused about what to do. Despite that, the food was excellent, and I would definitely go back again.

This is a good place for a fast Japanese meal for lunch or dinner. Good value for money. The shop serves sushi, ramen udon, don and bento value meals. Lunch time is busy. The surrounding area is still under development. Hachi hachi is a good lower cost option if you stay around this area.

Quite a bit of items to choose from. Not terribly priced. Order the teriyaki chicken bento set. Was expecting the chicken to have a char or grill on it. Skin was soft and chewy. There were red threads on top of the chicken, almost like saffron. The rice was a long grain type of rice, not medium or short. The miso was nice. The salad with sesame dressing was good. Hubby got the pork cutlet curry. The curry wasn't bad. Lots of onions. Decent portion.
