    Loved the Chicken Teriyaki and crispy chicken BBQ. Nice little outlet in the middle of Takapuna. Quick service.

    Love it, love it, love it. I know that everyone is a bit different and likes different things when they eat, but for me this ticks all the boxes. Food is very fresh, high quality, well priced and a huge variety to choose from that everyone will find something. I love the chicken curry. The location is right off the main road, so parking for some may be a put off. Don’t be put off. The location is small and tight and I enjoy it. It makes it more personal, but again may not be for everyone as they look around and notice the paint is. Or perfect etc. I don’t care about that stuff 99% of the time. Never been let down. Thank-you

    Amazing food as always! Their sashimi is delicious and their bentos are always great to eat. I like to eat the katsu here as it’s always crunchy and yummy. Make sure to visit when you can! The staff are very friendly and nice :)

    So far I've only tried the sushi for lunch. Always delicious, fresh, and very reasonably priced. Next time I'll try a bento box, donburi or bibimbap

    Fresh and yummy sushi, I like the different colored sushi mayo on top of their sushi pieces. The salmon Nigiri is quite fatty and thick, which is nice. Great pricing for the size of the bento boxes. It's not my most favorite sushi place in Auckland. However, I'd say it's up there in the top 5. If they offered more variety with their sushi pieces, then it would be even greater however what they serve is the usual run of the mill sushi rolls which are done quite well, but not exquisitely. This is the right kind of place for tradies and locals wanting to eat a healthier and less pricier option in the Takapuna area.

    Great service and a very well priced bento box. Looking through the sushi selection has made me want to come back too, the amount of salmon in their rolls is very generous

    Overall the food was quite average, but the location is quite handy if staying nearby. We had the pork doburi and the rice was undercooked and the pork tough. My tempura udon was just OK.

  • 5/5 Darren M. 2 years ago on Google
    The best Japanese restaurant I’ve ever been. My favourite one is the bento box. Totally worth the money. Portion size is good and absolutely delicious. Good customer service as well. Definitely will go back again!!!!

    Fresh, good quality food and to top it off, prices are really reasonable. Owners are really friendly too!

  • 5/5 Kitty O. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely lovely staff and affordable! Got the pork katsu to takeaway and it tasted fresh, generous serving. The salad dressing was delicious, but was put into a pot incase it wasn't desired. Presentation was amazing and meat was tender and crispy. We were given a complimentary mento too which was cute. P.S they have delivery services available! I can't wait to come back

🫀 Not a fan. I couldn’t drink the cocktail, it was cloying and unbalanced. We also received our food first and waited well over 5 minutes for drinks - they should really hold the food until you have your drinks with you. No one wants to stare at expensive small bites going cold while you await a bever...
