Frequently asked questions

How much are tickets?

$20

Can I order food and drink during the show?

Yes, we will have a special "Asian Takeout" style menu for this show. Kamehachi can also accommodate most food allergies/preferences, just let your server know.

What is parking like?

There are various options around the venue including paid street parking, free street parking on some streets, lot parking and spot hero parking.

Is there a drink minimum?

There is not a "drink minimum" but there is a two item minimum, this includes pop/soda, basically anything on the menu (food/beverage purchased prior to the show in the downstairs restaurant of Kamehachi counts towards this minimum).

Can I get walkup tickets?

Walkup tickets are available but space is limited, out so we recommend purchasing ahead of time.

Is Today's Specials family friendly?

Our show welcomes all ages, however patron IDs will be checked at the door in order to be served alcohol. Young folks are welcome, however if they are under 18 we require that they are accompanied by an adult. We have new guests every week, so you never know what might happen (PG-13 ish).

The show runs approximately one hour long, give or take for late seating.

Is the Hachi Lounge wheelchair accessible?

Unfortunately, not at this time.
