Score
Public records show nine inspections at Hachi Sushi stretching back to 2016. The most recent visit was on Apr 9, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around three violations each, up from closer to one violation before.
“Person in charge present, demonstrates knowledge, and performs duties” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
