Ah, Sushi Go, aka one of the two games I've managed to convince my father to play more than once. (And even my grandfather!)

It isn't too deep, but it's enjoyable throughout, especially Sushi Go Party, which adds quite a number of different cards. There still remains the same amount of different types, you choose before you begin which cards will be in the game. It adds a lot of variety, and some more complexity as well, but it doesn't dramatically change the game. I can't recommend it enough if you're playing Sushi Go with your group from time to time.

Haven't played it with 8 though, I think the most I played with was with 6, which was pretty much the same as with 4 players.

I think it ended up being one of the games I played most last year, but that's probably because the games are so quick and everyone enjoys themselves, so it's easy to bring to the table.
