Hachi Hachi Sushi & Hibachi Portage — Restaurant in Portage

Tucked away in Wisconsin, this sushi restaurant is an unexpected treasure that rivals top-tier coastal establishments. From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere was inviting—modern yet comfortable—with a warmth that made the experience feel personal. The staff were attentive, kind, and genuinely proud of the food they served, which immediately set the tone for what would be an exceptional meal.

I began with the miso soup, house salad, and edamame—each simple, but executed with precision. The miso was deeply flavorful and perfectly balanced, the salad crisp and refreshing with a bright, tangy dressing, and the edamame served just warm enough, with a satisfying snap and gentle seasoning.

The sushi itself was outstanding. I tried the California roll, Boston roll, and tempura shrimp—all beautifully plated and bursting with freshness. The rice was light and delicately seasoned, the fish tender and vibrant, and the tempura perfectly crisp without a hint of excess oil. Every bite revealed a balance of flavor and texture that demonstrated both skill and care.

Chef Jason’s decade of experience is unmistakable—each dish reflects the confidence of a true craftsman. The quality of ingredients was exceptional, and every element exceeded expectations.

Whether you’re a devoted sushi enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable meal, this restaurant delivers an experience that’s both refined and heartfelt. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why dining out can still...

I have been here twice. Both times I have had lovely food and drinks. Service has been attentive, yet gave me personal space, which I love. I was able to enjoy a nice moment eating fantastic sushi, some of which was new to me.

If you like raw fish, I recommend the Rainbow Sashimi appetizer (cucumber sticks wrapped in assorted sashimi with ponzu sauce (4pc)). The Chicago roll was great: savory, sweet, spicy, crunchy. The Calamari Salad offered fun new textures and was full of flavor. There were several options for sake and I had the Chika Sake Cup, which was smooth with a hint of sweetness.

I had an appetizer and sake while I waited for my to-go order. Everything was well cared for and the team member double checked everything included in my to-go order was in the bag.
