Izakaya Hachibeh

Loved the food. Friendly service can be tad slow during busy times, but food is worth the wait. Will definitely be back again for the authentic Japanese experience.

Great food, reasonably priced and fast service as we had a theatre booking. Wait staff very friendly and huge variety of dishes to choose from. Limited wine list, thought $4.50 per person corkage was excessive.

Basic Japanese. Great for lunch. Simple cafe style. Good service. Had teriyaki chicken and curry with rice. Easy to find on Bourke street. Enjoy your meal

You can expect good quality, affordable Japanese with BYO available. The ability to quickly and easily book a table is appreciated. I highly recommend for a casual, relaxed dinner.

This Japanese place have always friendly service and their food is beautiful . Good for biz lunch , private also family ! ! ! !

Good food. On this occasion, the Nasu Dengaku was not cooked thru. The sashimi was melt in the mouth experience. Would definitely return to try other dishes as we were pressed for time on this visit.

We ordered the sushimi special which was delicious and good value. The chief even came over and checked how our meal was. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Food was awesome. Love their gyu-tan (grill ox tongue). The buta shioyaki is also superb. Will visit again . Need to improve in aircon as the place abit stuffy during summer.

I ended up needing more tables and chairs the night i booked my reservation and the staff were very accommodating and friendly and did very well looking after us. We were very satisfied. Thank you.

Great experience overall for a birthday dinner! Prefer their sushi, sashimi and smaller plates which were great! The larger main meals were good, but ordinary. Staff were all lovely to deal with too =)

The service and food was absolutely incredible. Everything was super tasty and such a beautiful environment! We will definitely be back soon! Thankyou so much!!

The $12 lunch is exceptionally good value, tasty and quick. We like the bento box so much we have never tried any of the other dishes.

Really friendly staff and excellent service. The food was generally quite good. Fish is really fresh, and the wafu steak is just decadent. The sushi rolls and agedashi tofu, however, was a bit disappointing compared to the rest of the menu.

Over all is good . Sashimi dishes are fresh and tasty and some dish is a bit salty . They give very good service .

Nice restaurant. Friendly staff and great that it is BYO. Good for a big group of friends. Service can be patchy at times. Worth a visit

food was very good . service was excellent. we really enjoyed lunch. meal was served quickly even though we were group of 12. So impressed.

The staff were very helpful and allowed me to choose from the full menu despite it being lunch time. One of my favourite Japanese Izakayas in Melbourne and I've eaten here a number of times.

My favourite low-key Japanese eatery in Melbourne. Delicious, reasonable priced and you can BYO! And you know it's good Japanese when Japanese people are eating there!

Great Izakaya experience. We were recommended this place by a Japanese friend who told us it was a very authentic Izakaya and we couldn't agree more.

Delicious food as always, however since it was very busy, it was hard getting the attention of the waitress. Still my fav jap place though!

Good authentic Japanese food. Highly recommend the yukke. Some items are hit and miss, sushi could be fresher. Lovely service and cheap drinks, but beer selection.

Food was below average. No idea how this place got such high scores because it was terrible. Waitress also forgot our drinks. Will not be returning.

A fantastic location with beautiful staff and amazing food.Would highly recommend for anyone who wants a nice night out.Everytime we travel to Melbourne we search this place out.

1 mistaken our order, and have to wait for longer time to reorder 2 gave other table's food to us 3 use frozen tuna for tuna sashimi.

We we off to the movies and wished for a quick Japanese dinner before, excellent and friendly - quick service with friendly staff, great Japanese cuisine.

as always.. lovely food.. unfortunately this time. the waiting is very long and still could not get the order that we originally ordered. Probably wrong timing to go...

We always happy with the foods there. The service is always good and the food is always fresh . We Will definitely go there again.

The place was filled to capacity . That food was very delicious . The service is generally ok , different people doing differently it's good and bad .

Amazing fusion of Japanese and modern cuisine in tapas sized dishes. Service was prompt even though the restaurant was busy. We'll be back again soon.

great deal on the lunch. love the variety and the service. The portion are very generous too... Thanks for the unlimited miso soup... great work

If you are looking for a 'value for money' and quick meal, this is the place to come. Friendly staff and quick service. You create your own Bento box !

Delicious food and great service! My friends and I all loved it. The lunch special was cheap and filling. We will definitely come back to try the dinner menu again soon :)

Great value lunch at $12 for the bento box. Corkage was $4.50 per person, which seems a lot but is about average. Service was simple but efficient.

This was our second visit, this time celebrating our wedding anniversary, and while the food was still delicious, the service let it down at bit this time. We were seated upstairs, in a squishy spot around the corner, and had been seated for over 20 minutes with no attention, and eventually had to catch someone's eye to ask for menus. Then we had to ask for water and glasses for our BYO wine. Our meals were ordered as entrees and mains, but were delivered in a quite random order. We received 2 entrees (sharing), and then our mains, and then had to ask where our other 2 entrees were, and they still took another 10 minutes or so. Food is delicious, but sloppy service took the shine off a special anniversary dinner.

Delightful and authentic Japanese food. The ox tongue is a must! The sushi plates are great for sharing. Very accommodating service too. A great night out!

Great little Japanese restaurant. Bento boxes are lovely and filling with good choices. Would recommend particularly for lunch. Busy place so would recommend booking if you need to get in.

took 45 minutes to get two serves of una don. when we told that to the waitress, the table next to us said they've been waiting an hour, and left. when the food arrived, it was 4 slices of unagi and two bowls of rice. definitely not worth more than a 7 minute wait at best. when we asked for more wasabi, they still charged us an extra $1.50 for it, after almost an hour of waiting. and the fresh home made lemon tea? 35 minutes to serve up cold green tea with a dash of lemon. $4.00 never again.

Always good food and good choice of beers and sake. Ebi mayo and miso gyutan still rocking. They need to fix the toilets though, unpleasant sewer smell in it

Yummy! Food is always consistent, you can never go wrong with their sake on the special menu. This place is usually busy so it can be hard to get the staff's attention at times but I always enjoy the food each time I'm there.

Delicious food at Izakaya Hachibeh, together with very friendly service. Prices are very reasonable too. Wine prices are also excellent. Our Japanese visitor was very impressed, and said the food was very authentic. Will definitely be back!
