Recommended by a friend for authentic Japanese. We enjoyed our mix of food - sashimi, sushi and tempura. The fish was very fresh and sushi was tasty. I feel like it was a little bit overpriced for what we got. $40pp with one wine and we didn’t overeat. If you’re not on a budget and enjoy fresh seafood, I’d recommend this place. The servers were friendly and pleasant. Atmosphere was a little quiet.
This place truly is a hidden gem, snuggled within the residents of the South cambie area. I frequent here with a friend of mine, who is very loyal to their brand.
The cod is seriously to die for. Another friend of mine always gets their tamago. This place is definitely true Japanese cuisine. The prices are also very reasonable. Service is always very genuine.
This place is one of my top places for authentic Japanese.
Hachibei is a little hidden Japanese restaurant in South Cambie. I’ve been craving to try new places in town and I stumbled upon Hachibei. It was highly recommended by a few friends and I am a sucker for small authentic Japanese restaurants. The space isn’t very large, but make reservations if you have a large group. Since it was only myself and 2 others, we took a chance.

Salmon Sashimi comes with 8 pieces and they use wild sockeye salmon. That colour is just beautiful and had a nice taste.
Steamed clam with sake was their special for the day and ti comes with a delicious broth and 6 pieces of clams. Very delicious broth and nice big clams.
Battera is pickled mackerel sushi pressed into a rectangular shape. It seemed like there was ginger on top of the pickled mackerel too.
Chopped Scallop Roll had large chunks of scallops and tobiko inside. Very fresh and delicious.
My favourite Japanese food in town. Authentic and delicious! Go a little early if you don't want to wait for a table as the place is quite small.
Hachi Bei is a tiny little Japanese restaurant that is snuggled in a residential area. They serve sushi as well as rice sets and excel at both. Their black cod is their star dish, coming with a huge portion of fish at a decent price. However it is oftentimes "sold out" so always have a backup order in mind. This trip they were sold out so we had to order alternative dishes. I got the yam tempura, and a bunch of sushi. The yam tempura turned out to be potato but it was still really good. The sushi was also outstanding, holding the same quality that you would expect to find at a fancy Japanese restaurants. Their rice sets are also good. They come with a whole plethora of sides, creating a complete meal.
We came here for a late dinner after a long day at the office. The menu is extensive, food is fresh and delicious. Surprisingly, the dinner combos came with many sides which made it quite a feast. The service is very friendly. I would definitely return.
The food here reminds me so much of the homey comfort foods found in the hidden alleys of Japan. Yes, the restaurant is Japanese owned. My wife & I come here a lot, it's as close as we can get to homecooked Japanese food. The teishoku are the reason to come. Teishoku are set meals which includes a main dish, rice, miso soup, and several veggie side dishes. Our favorites are the black cod (nice thick fillet), fried oysters, BBQ squid, and simmered mackerel. Everyone that I've recommended the simmered mackerel to loves it so give it a try. Though not a unique dish, it's seldom found in Japanese restaurants in this part of the world.
There's a small sushi menu, but it's not their strength. Stick with the teishoku.
Service is friendly, not fine dining standard, but this is just a humble neighborhood meshi-ya, or small eating place. When they're not too busy, my wife can even practice Japanese with some of the wait staff. But, it often gets busy at peak dinner time so come early or come late. Make reservations if you want come between 6-7. They are only open for dinner.
溫西巷弄裡的日式定食屋
Hachibei算是溫哥華一家較為傳統的日式家庭料理,店家以地道的日式定食最為有名,而其中烤魚定食更是不可不試,是去晚了就吃不到的限時限量美食喔。食肆隱藏在溫哥華醫院附近的民居巷弄裡,要不是有人介紹,大概永遠都不會知道! 注意的是Hachibei每晚五點才開始營業,主要以晚餐為主。
當大家踏進Hachibei時會覺得有點像日劇深夜食堂的那種氣氛,裝飾簡單卻能溫暖人心的家庭料理店。而菜單賣的都是日式家常小菜,除此之外定食的選擇也非常多,其中以烤魚定食最為出名。
當定食套餐送到時,盤上都是一小碟一小碟放滿滿的,我最喜歡日式料理搭配的日式器皿,往往只有真正日本人開的餐廳在這方面會比較講究。同時我很欣賞店家在料理上許多細節都有下足功夫,菜色樸實但卻吃起來很有幸福感。若想品嘗這裡出名的烤魚請記得六點之前要乖乖報到喲~晚了賣光就吃不到了!
BBQ Fish Teishoku $15.50 (Served with 2 small dishes, Rice and Miso Soup)
