“Kaz is one of the best sushi places in the area! Service and food are always great. It’s a nice meal but the prices are fairly decent compared to other high-end sushi places in the area.” – Camryn M.
Sushi Hachi
Sushi Hachi located in Washington, D.C.’s historic and scenic Eastern Market area, promises food the way it’s supposed to be: simple, loyal to its origins, and affordable. When Steve Yoon, the owner, chef, and of Sushi Rock in Arlington, VA, he had a vision in mind to combine the high quality of fish he had encountered in Asia with the modern stylings of the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia areas.
Sushi Hachi, which he opened seven years later, was the culmination of his goal. In Japanese, the number eight is represented by the name “Hachi.” Eight has long been considered a lucky number that represents happiness. Sushi Hachi treats its visitors and food with the utmost loyalty and respect, and they wish its customers nothing but good fortune and happiness.
