"Ward Eight is a gem on Howard. Chef Chris pairs delicious dishes with the cocktails that the bar team magically concoctes. Simply, it's a laid-back vibe to chill and enjoy conversation with those you are with or the staff. No Tvs. No egos. Just good drinks, good tunes, delicious food and friendly faces. Don't hesitate to come and enjoy the experience."

"I had the impression that this place has undergone some changes, as all my favorite menu items are no longer available, which is quite disheartening. It seems to have transitioned into more of a quick sushi spot with a concise menu, spanning just one page front and back. This new menu primarily focuses on various sushi rolls, with the salmon lemon roll being a noteworthy exception and quite delicious. Strangely, there isn 't even a drink menu, which is a departure from the norm. It no longer gives off the vibe of an authentic Japanese restaurant in my opinion. The katsu curry was a bit underwhelming, particularly due to the limited vegetables in the curry sauce, despite being priced at $20 TT for the katsu, rice, and sauce. Even the salad had changed, and the absence of the original recipe was disappointing. It now resembles the typical offerings of any other Japanese restaurant, in my opinion. Overall, my experience was disappointing, and it no longer feels like the same restaurant under the same brand. Consequently, I would rate it 2.5 stars, as it now falls into the realm of average dining."

"I have mixed feelings about their dishes. Some of their dishes like the pad see ew and tom yum weren't so bad. Though it'd be nice to see some other ingredients in the former other than just noodles, broccoli and your choice of protein. The noodles were also really chopped up and short for some reason. We also ordered this stir fry dish where you get to choose your sauce and protein, but it doesn't tell you what else is part of the dish. I was very disappointed by this one. Not only was the taste not so impressive, but the portion was small and it didn't look that enticing. Not sure if I'd like to try their other dishes in the future."

"Mi esposa y yo queríamos un lugar agradable y relajado para sentarnos afuera y disfrutar de una cena divertida. Terminamos muy decepcionados con el servicio. Nuestro camarero tardó entre 10 y 15 minutos en llegar a la mesa (lo que se siente como una eternidad cuando está esperando para pedir bebidas). Tomaron nuestro pedido de bebidas y regresaron rápidamente con un cóctel y aguas, pero la cerveza que pedimos se retrasó unos minutos. No es gran cosa, pero luego la noche se fue al sur. No volvimos a ver a nuestro servidor durante mucho tiempo. Comenzamos a sentir que nuestro aperitivo se retrasó un poco cuando los corredores de comida aparecieron con nuestros platos principales. No hay ninguna aplicación a la vista. Les informamos y, finalmente, el servidor trajo nuestra aplicación. Pero en ese momento estábamos a la mitad de la comida. La comida estaba rica. Nada extraordinario pero nada malo. Los nachos, lo admito, estaban deliciosos. Se describió que el macarrones con queso que pedimos tenía migas de pan, pero le faltaba eso. Afortunadamente, el servidor lo solucionó bastante rápido. Nunca nos preguntaron sobre la recarga de nuestras bebidas. Y después de comer, esperamos mucho tiempo por nuestra cuenta. Parecía llevar una eternidad para todo. Ninguno de los problemas por sí mismos habría sido un gran problema, pero juntos se sumaron a una experiencia algo desagradable. El servidor fue agradable y se disculpó. También nos compensaron el aperitivo que estaba muy bien. Puede haber sido una mala noche o quizás un nuevo servidor, pero no puedo decir que recomendaría ir un sábado por la noche. Además, disfrutamos de la zona de estar al aire libre. Estaba un poco estrecho, pero el ambiente era agradable."
