sushi 8

2 faves. such fresh food , steaming hot as it arrives , you must try hotate frai , (crumbed scallops) served with a delish japanese bbq sauce, my other favechickenkatsu curry , served with rice , loads of finely sliced onion in a mild curry sauce with crunchy crumbed chicken, best in geelong no doubt....

worst katsudon ever!. just returned from a quick lunch here...the $8.80 lunch special sounded enticing and orderedchickenkatsudon. how disappointing, it was double fried as the dark coloured crumbing was a giveaway, thechickenitself had no texture and wondered if it was really chicken? it was grey and definitely not juicy white and flavoursome as the katsudons i have eaten in the past on my travels...don't bother with here, i would rather make the trek to shannon ave sakura tei as they seem to be the best in town!

until recently this was my fave japanese restaurant on geelong, always piping hot and fresh , love thechickenkatsura curry and hotate fri ( crumbed scallops ) , reasonably priced , not always the best service ( as in no smiling !) and no eftpos which is annoying , but great food , still go but have found an even better one!!!!

excellent, so glad we made the move. had our regular dose of sushi again here tonight and it was delicious; thank you! we made the move from a neighbouring sushi bar where we had been going for years, no regrets. a chinese girl who was staying with us was working at sushi 8 and had been encouraging us to move. she told us that the kitchen is clean and that she really liked working there - that decided it for me! the salmon is not the flouro pumped type, a light lovely pink and really fresh tasting. avocado is always firm but not hard. crispy prawn is really good ... i'm told, crispychickenis not as good but my daughter is prawn mad. sushi is full and rice is soft but not too wet. occasionally it does start to split but only if they have just made it for us. never a problem. always happy to make something up for you, lovely fresh wasabi and i always get it and the ginger included. they know to separate the wasabi for my daughter. a lovely touch. we have all eaten in on one occasion and it was just as good. always friendly and they remember what we order!!! big bonus being remembered. thank you and we will be back!
