Ju Hachi Japanese Cuisine - Sacramento

The food was very tasty. We went on a rainy Saturday afternoon. It wasn't busy. It was nice. It's pricey, however, not too pricy. If that makes any sense. The quality of food is great. And we got taken care of by Summer. And the owner was out there helping wiping tables. It's hard not to love this place.

Ju Hachi is located in Sacramento's midtown area and offers a taste of their Japan with curated menu, featuring entrees, sets, rolls, and even rotating seasonal items. We arrived around 8pm on a Sunday night for dinner. the restaurant was sparsely populated at this hour, and we were seated quickly without any wait. we decided to order their capitol roll, sunshine roll, and mini chirashi set. The rolls were expertly crafted full of fresh fish and accompanying flavors that made for a truly enjoyable bite every time. I will admit however, that the roll cuts were a tad uneven and so some pieces were quite a bit larger than others, which may not bother everyone, but did make it a bit difficult for me to finish some of the pieces in just one bite. As good as their rolls were, the star of the meal was definitely their mini chirashi set, which was also highly recommended by our server. The mini chirashi comes with 10 pieces of sashimi over sushi rice, accompanied by with mixed tempura, miso soup, and sunomono salad (or Japanese cucumber salad) you truly get the most bang for your buck. As with their other raw fish offerings, the chirashi set was fresh and flavorful, while the accompanying tempura was a crispy delight to eat. Definitely my go to item for any future meals I partake in here. If you're looking for Japanese cuisine in the midtown area, then I highly recommend giving Ju Hachi a try!

Went there for lunch today. Wanted to try their spicy pork ramen. The service took about 10 minutes to get some water and to get beverages. Which is understandable since they were short staffed, but on the other hand it took a little while to even put in our order and I had to ask for my beverage because it was taking a while. Long story short, received the spicy pork ramen. It was very bland and the spice level was near to none. The chashu was a little on the chewy side. Wish it was more like melting your mouth .The beverages I got was almost room temperature which is not good when you want an ice cold beer. On top of the service and probably wouldn't be going back anytime soon.

The food was good, the rolls were well prepared. The restaurant played taylor swift songs the entire time we were there which was annoying. I restaurant should really consider its customers when picking music choices. One of my friends found a lady bug in her salad and we let the staff know and they basically did nothing about it at all. I sort of feel bad for this place because I could tell they were under staffed so I'm not going to leave too harsh of a review but they really should have comped my one friend for the lady bug salad. I wouldn't have even wrote this in the review had they done that but that was just poor customer service and they should know about it.

The food was great. The sushi was delicious. The nigeri was also delicious. The sever looked after all of culinary needs. It is well worth a culinary journey through their menu.
