😠 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...

👍👍 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...

👍👍 The atmosphere was lively and pretty busy. All of the meal was excellent, served quickly, and authentic. I would come back again.

👍 Nice food and atmosphere. Good selection of sushi inside cabinet but little pricy. Cooked food is pretty good. Had tofu yakisoba and chicken teriyaki don. Both fresh and delicious.

👍👍 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...

👍👍 The ramen here is sooooooo good!!! . I eat there or ubereats their ramen at least once or twice a week. The karaage chicken here is my absolute favorite fried chicken, its always a great side dish with ramen. The staff are really kind and the restaurant is always clean.

The owners are so friendly, and go beyond and above for their customers. What a pleasant experience.. This place feels like home. No doubt Boss Sushi will go from strengt...

🫤 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...

Hip, lively venue for elevated Japanese food ranging from classic sushi to creative cooked mains.

👍👍 My family and I have been dining at Yaruki for about 10 years and I can't believe I haven't written a review yet! That already says something. We normally celebrate our birthdays here and Yoshi has seen us grow up over the years. The cleanest food I've tasted. Authentic Japanese taste and presentati...
