sushi 8

03-aug-15 : enjoyed their lunch special katsu don with miso soup. extremelygoodvalue at $8.20! the crumbled pork was crispy and well cooked. the egg and onions with sauce and rice made it complete. well worth another visit soon.

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 reallygood... i'm told, crispy chicken is not asgoodbut 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!

money = first, customers = last!. i don't come here anymore mainly for the same reason i have stopped going to fujisan. poor treatment from the female owner! i was a very loyal customer for years and sometimes mrs sushi8 chose to charge me for wasabi and ginger that was 'free' for other customers. instead of being happy about the repeat business she was worried about the ginger and wasabi she was giving away. after questioning her about it.. she stopped charging me (albeit reluctantly). i also once booked an upstairs table for my daughter's birthday dinner. she had always wanted to eat upstairs and invited school friends to this particular meal. only problem was..when we arrived, the female owner said we could sit down stairs because they gave our table away to another party. "bigger booking". again.. all about money..not about caring for loyal customers. i've been treated relatively ok by the male owner..and all the other staff.. but after the birthday booking was just given away without even consulting us.. my daughter doesn't want to go there anymore. i went through periods of boycotting sushi 8 for months at a time...(as funny as that might sound). i love sushi.. but to keep being treated poorly is just not on. so we just don't go there anymore. it seems in order to findgoodsushi and be treated well every time.. we have to travel to melbourne. p.s. i regret to say we went back recently because it seemed like mrs sushi8 wasn't around. (this is how much i love sushi)! so we dined in, had sushi and a bento box..and my glass of tap water arrived with a sizey, pink lipstick imprint on it !! (i'm going to add the photo of it here) when i brought it to their attention..it was whisked away.. no apology. the food was poor and even the change in decor has cheapened the place. it's gone further downhill ! can you imagine how much i was kicking myself for spending money here again! i'm a sushi lover, desperate forgoodsushi and service!!!
