Sake Bar Nippon Epsom

Japanese restaurant

👍 I’ve been here a couple of times. The place is so popular I still haven’t sat at the main venue. I shall go back and sit by the grille! The food is lovely, but I would prefer to have more selection for BBQ skewers. How come they only have 9 options! Remember to book a seat before you come.

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...

Ken Yakitori Bar Anzac

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Best Yakitori Bar in Auckland. The food is always cooked to perfection - as in how much the food is cooked, the perfect flavouring of salt/sauce. Highly recommend the Beef Tongue and Pork Belly! Atmosphere is cozy, with high beat music going in time with the man behind the grill. It is mesmerising...

Musashi Japanese Cuisine - New Lynn

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Best Japanese restaurant in Auckland that we found. Been to many. The kids and wife love this place if it's Japanese on a weekend that we are wanting. Their one box offering covers everything. Point of improvement though is the space they occupy. Bit of a squeeze there when there are heaps of people...

Daikoku Botany 大黒ボタニー店

Japanese restaurant

👍 Been here on numerous occasions for Teppanyaki only and thought we would try their other Japanese cuisine. Plenty of variety on offer and the service was really excellent. The food came out really fast too! I really wanted to try the Katsu-don with egg, as many other Japanese restaurants here do it...

Daruma Sushi-Go-Round Albany

Japanese restaurant

😠 Terrible experience today here. I loved this sushi place for years now but the service we got today was unacceptable. I am not one to usually leave reviews but the workers here left us waiting for over half an hour for our food that we ordered and we still waited as they looked busy and when we remi...

Musashi Japanese Cuisine - Milford

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Tonight my family had dinner here. The food was delicious and beautiful as always, the staff were very kind and caring. What impressed us most was that the young male staff at the checkout desk accidentally made a mistake in the bill and overcharged us $7.7. He ran out of the store to find us for a...

ZOOL ZOOL

Ramen restaurant

😐 We came here on recommendation by our friend from out of town. He reckoned it was the best ramen he'd ever had so we had high expectations based on this. We probably should have ordered the ramen dish he based this off (red chilli miso) but I'm not a massive fan of spice so decided to give the intri...

Tanpopo Ramen

Hokkaido Restaurant & Bar

Japanese restaurant

🫤 Hokkaido is the furthest thing from authentic Japanese cuisine. Almost all items on the menu are frozen and overpriced. We could tell that the servers were trying, but the service is mediocre at best. Whoever decided to take Hokkaido in the direction it is headed towards has no idea what the restaur...
