Dai Hachi Sushi

Omg , as challenging as it can be to find fresh good sushi…. This is Your spot in the city 🌆 i have shellfish allergy and i m so happy the waitress was very careful and listening gently to that 🩷🩷🫶🏻

Stopped in for my wifes birthday and went Roll crazy. Definitely recommend it if you're near 59th St. But like most sushi places, I'd suggest to just stick to the rolls and sashimi.

Went twice here. The first I had chicken karage and Sapporo draft. Karage was very hot, crunchy and the chicken juicy, while the beer was cold and crisp. On my second time I ordered the lunch special: 3 rolls for 16 dollars and includes soup and salad. fish was fresh and rolls were neatly made. A lot of bang for your buck. Quality sushi for this price is hard to find.

We each ordered a cocktail and then was told that they also had a happy hour menu. I wish they had those menus somewhere but the cold sake was only $12 (around 6 shots)! We ordered their "sushi for two" which was plenty for the both of us. I loved the ocean roll! I didn't think that the tuna was super fresh. 2 cocktails($13/), 2 orders of sake ($12/), 1 sushi for 2 ($80), 2 mochi ice creams ($6/) came out to $140! Not bad at all! Attentive service and quiet ambiance. Would definitely dine again!!

Wow! I so rarely write reviews, but I had to. I got the sashimi lunch special and it was delicious. the sushi was so fresh - something I have really struggled with finding in midtown east recently. Will definitely be returning - worth the higher prices.

Their meals leave lasting impressions! The kitchen selects fresh ingredients for great results. Employees are remarkably friendly and recommended completely enjoyable meals. This place will become my go-to restaurant. I'm surely coming back here.

For the price point, a solid neighborhood sushi spot. The deluxe sushi hit the spot with a nice selection of fresh fish. They also have a nice selection of 300 ml bottles of sake and the overall vibe and service is great! I’ll return.

Very tasteful food and good prices. The service was excellent as well. Try the coctails!

I'd rate Dai Hachi three and a half stars. Neighborhood sushi spot. Great for a sick bite. We shared the salmon / avocado and the tuna / avocado rolls. Both includes six pieces per order and were $8 each. Order was ready quickly. They had two single occupancy restrooms which were spacious. They had a few drafts including Asahi and Sapporo served from the special tap machines. They had a solid selection of Japanese whiskies too.

Loved this spot!!! Have been many times and love the staff! Solid rolls- great happy hour deal (goes until 8pm) vibes are classic chill sushi spot.

Updated review- came back again. Great happy hour drinks specials $$ for strong drinks -lychee martinis. Good sushi. Comes relatively quick, decent service

I was so happy that they offer their lunch special for carry out (I feel like some places don't do lunch specials for carry out). What I got: - 2 spicy tuna - salmon avocado It comes with miso soup and salad. The sushi rice will get dry the next day so best to eat it the day of.

Came here after a nice massage from my friend she introduced me to this spot after telling her I enjoy sushi! The UNI was amazing! Fresh so yummy sashimi style or sushi style! Had the dinner bento box plus sashimi and sushi!

The food was fresh, plentiful and delicious. The mixed green salad was plentiful, ginger was fresh and tasty. I had the spicy tuna Naruto was my standout dish and will def get again. Had the soba soup to top it all off. I'm def coming back!

Good, service and qualify of food wonderful! The lunch menu is a great price. Only M-F, but we got soup, salad and sushi ( chirashi bowl with 14 sushi pieces, plenty of rice and shredded radish) for $22 bucks! They also have lots of other menu choices that offer cooked meats.

Dai Hachi Sushi is a pretty average sushi place. The kitchen items are below average and inauthentic. The sushi and sashimi are hit or miss. You can tell some of the fish has been frozen/cooled and have not adequately thawed and has a tough texture. The maki rolls are probably the best bet here.

I ordered Sushi and Sashimi Combo Lunch Special online. The menu says it serves 11 pieces of Sashimi, but there were nine pieces of fish and the other two were actually man-made crab meat rolls. Fish quality was fair.

They have a great lunch specials selection. From 12-3 pm. today I am having sushi. Three rolls for $16. Come with salad and miso soup. The sushi is fresh and tastes good. The service is good

One of the best sushi's in the city. Salmon avocado was $8 a roll, comes with 6 pieces. Not bad size. Rainbow roll was $17 and then I put salmon instead of crab and it was an extra $2 a roll. The sushi melts in your mouth. Tastes fresh. Isn't loud. And service was great.

Quick local place to stop by for dinner or grab some take out. We decided to sit indoors, but they do have a few outdoor seats as well. They had a happy hour all day with some cocktails for $8 so I tried the LIC Guava, it didn't seem to really have much of a guava taste and just tasted like juice. My friend and I both got bento dinner boxes which came with salad, miso soup, white rice and a california roll. For the entree portion I got shrimp tempura which came with 3 pieces of shrimp tempura and 5-6 pieces of fried vegetable. Service was great. Overall a quick place to stop by for for some Japanese food.

Run of the mill Sushi spot. Not great, not bad. $22 roll special which was 3 rolls of Spicy Tuna, Salmon and Yellowtail. Overall if you are a big sushi fan, I'd probably skip it.

Wait staff was super nice & friendly. Sushi was good but not amazing. Sashimi was good and buttery but the tuna roll coulda used some more flavor.

This place is very clean. The sushi is good and I highly recommend coming here. Mera's Tip: roll itbout

Nice small sushi restaurant is very small the inside but they have some outdoor Covered-seating as well. sushi was fresh and delicious I got the lychee martini wasn't much alcohol so I end up getting a shot of Casamigos. If you love fresh sushi and great taste is the place just know the mixed drinks aren't strong at all.

Lunch service is the best value with a soup and salad and 2 rolls for 13 bucks. Overall, prices are very fair for the city. They offer many rolls and all are fresh and tasty. I like that they offer brown rice. Service is hit or miss. It's fast, but some servers are matter of fact and not friendly.

Comfortable, small spot with kind staff and disappointing food. Not for sushi/sashimi aficionados.

For two people we ordered an appetizer to split, 2 bowls of miso soup, and 4 sushi rolls which was the perfect amount of food. The rolls we ordered were: 1. Shrimp tempura - good 2. Lobster tempura - good 3. Spider maki roll - I enjoyed the crunch, but there was little to no crab in the fried breading 4. Shrimp mango roll - this one was my favorite but was not spicy Overall the sushi rolls were good but I feel they could have been better with some additional sauces or toppings.

Superb find in my neighborhood. Such a fine Japanese spot that continues to satisfy my never ending hunger for sushi rolls. It's extremely well priced as well and they do have happy hours as well. We ordered four different rolls and loved it all; king crab, yellowtail scallion, spicy craw fish and yellow tail jalapeño. Junmai sake was a perfect companion to enjoy this delicious treat. The best part is that this is great quality food at such a reasonable price. This has become my go to Japanese place to order in regularly.

I ordered delivery, but it's running late and the restaurant wouldn't even call the courier, who works directly for the restaurant, to find out where he or she is. The restaurant is only three blocks from my office, so the delay is particularly disappointing. If you need your meal delivered by a certain time, don't order from here.

We love this place! The sashimi is so fresh! The hamachi grilled is so good. We also love the eggplant appetizer. We always sit outside which is good. The only downside is the bike lane creates a life threatening super highway. But that's no fault of the business. The food is worth the risk!! LOL

never ate there and never will, their delivery person ran a red light, almost hit me and while i yelled at him he cursed me out in some non english language. the best is that the idiot delivered the food to my doorman building allowing me to confront him again about his recklessness again he cursed me out .. i called the restaurant a couple of times. the person on the end spoke well when he thought i was placing an order but his english got bad as did his comprehensive skills when i complained.

Great spot. Great prices. The food was dead on. Very clean and friendly staff. The outside area is well kept I will start to go here for my sushi needs for now on. It's got the best for your Buck.

Reviewing as I'm eating my takeout, but I just couldn't wait any longer to sing the praises of this sushi spot in Sutton place! Although I am not a raw fish person, so can't speak to that, they're California roll, shrimp rolls, and veggies are fantastic! I have gotten take out multiple times now, and I am always so happy! They always have the food ready really quickly, and the rolls are absolutely huge!!! So satisfying and delicious! Everything tastes really fresh too! Highly recommend!

This place is right off of the Tram, so if you live near there/midtown west, that's a plus. The waiter was consistent with the drinks and let us know about the house sake ($12 per carafe which was amazing between two people). That being said, the food was nothing to write home about. We split the sushi for two and I was expecting higher quality fish and flavors. If you're looking for something quick, give it a try, but if you're looking for omakase grade sushi, I would skip this one.

- Really like the sushi here. Especially the crunchy rolls at this restaurant. The fried chicken app was really solid as well. Service was extremely kind and attentive. I asked them to throw the Mets game on on a quiet evening and they did, which was awesome. Beers are super cheap here and they have a very generous happy hour. The interior is gorgeous and a great vibe. Don't let the exterior fool you. Solid recommend for sushi, dine in! Sneaky Mets bar.

The food is fantastic. The BMW roll and the wasabi shumai are must haves! The service is also very attentive and considerate. I highly recommend.

Best quick, easy suhi restaurant in the neighborhood. Takeout is always superb and well prepared- I can tell the fish is freah

lychee martinis were so good! sushi was great but I have high standards of sushi so it didn't blow my mind. they have a really cheap lunch deal that I need to check out

Came here for sushi dinner with my partner. We ordered the tempura appetizer, sushi set, and pork katsu Don. Everything was pretty good, and fresh. The waiter was nice and refilled our water pretty often. Nothing really too outstanding, but all in all a good experience.

Great service and really fresh. Inventive tasty rolls. And it won't break the bank. Good find in NYC, where sushi can be ultra expensive.

This was a great place to go as a tourist after going on the roosevelt island tram. We got their lunch special and it was amazing. Great service, they never let our waters get less than half full. The food was prepared super quick. The price was amazing. We only got the house rolls but they were delicious and filled us up. This feels like a local hidden sushi shop that I definitely recommend for anyone visiting new york. It was so worth it and satisfied my sushi craving.

AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID We ordered $130 worth of takeout food with one of the items being a Miso Cod appetizer for $16. If the piece of fish were bigger than a pig n blanket, i would be shocked. Upon going back to maybe have a reasonable conversation that the piece of fish was obnoxiously small, we were alarmed to hear adamantly that it is what it is. Furthermore, the size of their rolls were diminutive and their prices just don't reflect the quality one would deserve. Clearly, they simply do not care and with so many other japanese restaurants in the neighborhood, it will be real easy to pivot from using them as our neighborhood spot. They were our go to, but after this, Sayonara!

For 56th street location, I ordered the Christmas and shrimp mango roll. Christmas roll came in 8 thin pieces and shrimp came in 6. Both rolls were lacking in rice. This causes the presentation to be awful and hard to maintain the shape when cut. The sushi looked to have been made by an amateur chef and I expected more at a restaurant. The taste was also disappointing because the balance of rice and fish was off. The Christmas roll fell apart all the time. The spicy tuna pizza looked amazing. The colors were very beautiful. Unfortunately the raw onions did not fit this dish and I'm not an onion hater! The crust was not good since it tastes too indepent from the sushi and avocado. Not necessarily negative but couldn't taste the spicy. It's a great idea but has room for improvement. Service was good. They gave us warm towels before the meal and were quite attentive.

Ordered for delivery- had a craving for sushi and found this place online. We got the sashimi deluxe (21 sashimi pieces) and 2 wasabi lobster rolls. I also got the amazing salmon as an app- seared salmon. Delicious! Delivery was super fast as well! Sushi was fresh! Would def recommend and order here again.

This was a small little find in the upper 50s on the east side. The only thing was I didn't know they closed at 10 pm on Fridays and we arrived at 9 pm. The sushi was so delicious as well as the Kirin light. They went so well together. The wait staff was very nice as well and that was a plus. It was quiet so it gave us time to talk with one another.

Everything I want in a late night sushi spot. The sushi rolls are a healthy size. Not overfilled. I was worried this wasn't going to be good because it was so affordable but I was wrong. It's good. We ordered the pork goyza(still hot), salmon avocado roll (very refreshing), philly roll (yum), snow crab roll, rainbow roll (kalifornia roll with Kano, hence the k in California) topped with raw fish and avocado, spicy crunchy salmon roll, spicy tuna, neither were spicy in my opinion. And the mermaid roll (full of fish) yum. I would order here again. Delivery was quick as well.

Service there was horrible. By horrible I don't mean they are not friendly or polite, which they are. But they will come to your table and interrupt you like non stop! My husband and I went there for a quick lunch coz I only have one hour lunch break. Since we sat down, there were different servers come to us, here are your towels, how's your lunch, let me take the towels, let me take the salad plate, let me take the soup bowl, let me take the straw wrap away, you also finished your soup? Let me take it away... Within 40 mins lunch, they came to our table at least 6 times. Can you imagine being interrupted during your lunch and conversation like this? Anyway, food was delicious. They have good lunch special deals.

Good, but not outstanding. Our waiter did not come once to check in on us after putting our entrees down. That being said, their sushi is fine and I would come back in a pinch if I were craving sushi. However, I don't think I'd come all the way out to 3rd ave just to dine at Dai Hachi again.

I was really excited to try this place after reading many positive reviewers but sadly, I was extremely disappointed. This is a block away so if it was good, is have a new sushi spot, but this will be my first and last visit. Sushi was not fresh. Sushi rolls feel apart when trying to eat them. The chef this evening must have worse skills than me. On top of it all, the prices are outrageous. 2 rolls and a gyoza= $55? No thanks.

I have eaten here a number of times since I have moved to New York City. Very happy with the large menu and the excellent service. I've tried a number of items on the menu and all have been really good.

Amazing !!! Incredible food and service.I've just got my Tuna Sashima and Shrimp,Vegetable Tempura Appetizer. It was very fresh and taste so good. Delicious crunchy Tempura. I was craving Sashimi these day & so happy that I've found this sushi place. I highly recommend if you're looking for a neighborhood sushi for delivery/ pickup give this one a try!!!

Amazing!!! Crazy salmon roll and mermaid rolls are so good. Also the simpler rolls are also delicious- the fish is so fresh and tasty

I only ever order take out or delivery with this place and I have to say they gave some goooooood sushi. It's always fresh and it just tastes right. Not crazy expensive at all especially for ny. I only ever really "roll" with the shiitake and avocado roll, yam tempura or shrimp tempura. I'm like a wannabe sushi eater I love it but I don't F w the raw fish. So I stick with them veggies and fried shrimp shits. A lil hot sauce on the side and we're good.

This is my go-to sushi place in Midtown East. The place has not more than 10 tables, and it has a nice and simple decor. The staff is really friendly, and the sushi is really good and reasonably priced. We always go for 3 normal rolls each, but sometimes try the special rolls as well. Dai Hachi never disappoints and I will certainly be returning soon.

I ordered delivery from here and really enjoyed my meal. I got a spicy tuna roll and mermaid roll. The spicy tuna roll was pretty standard, but all the fish in the mermaid roll was very fresh and I would order it again. I also got the tuna tataki, which I enjoyed. My husband got the chicken teriyaki and thought it was good, but not amazing. I would probably just order the sushi here again.

Best Japanese food in the city. Prices are very fair and the service is great. This is a MUST restaurant if you enjoy fresh sushi. Try the chicken teriyaki and other dishes. It is our favorite.
