Ramen Takara Ponsonby
Ramen restaurant
😠 We ordered the Ramen (we asked for the chefs special like they do in Brown’s Bay, but they don’t do it at Ponsonby) and the Kaarage chicken. The Ramen was under developed and under whelming. Why was the chicken Karaage nuclear hot in the inside and the outer coating more rubbery than than the rubber...

Yoshizawa Japanese Restaurant
Japanese restaurant
🫤 We've been getting takeaways from here for a while as it's one of the best authentic Japanese places to eat in town and it's hard to get a seat as it's always busy but lately have noticed the size and quality has gone down. I get that business is tough since covid, with no staff, inflation etc but t...

😠 Worst sashimi presentation for $43 with dry bean sprouts which was overpriced. I wasn't expecting anything extravagant.The waiter couldn't wait to clear the table, which wasn't appropriate etiquette for a very well-established and it was extremely disappointing as I had been here many times. The onl...

😠 Don’t know why this place is reviewed so high! It has charm and we were looking forward to trying the ramen. We ordered 3 (out of 5) for spice level as we like about medium. I think the chef forgot to put any seasoning in expect for pure spice! It was really hot and had no other flavor. The meat was...
