   Cute for a snack and drinks, but wouldn’t recommend coming here for a full meal. Skewers are grilled over charcoal but we found them to be quite salty. Overall good, but there is better yakitori in Auckland central

   Terrible experience – avoid this place, it’s a scam! It was by far the worst dining experience I’ve had in years. First, our order was messed up multiple times, and we only received the sauces after we had already finished eating, I never had such a “tempura” mix before and yuzu jam with soda instead of yuzu wine. As for the food quality — that’s a whole other disappointment. But the real issue came when it was time to pay. The prices on the bill didn’t match those listed on the menu. When we questioned it, we were told it was due to some vague, unexplained “tax.” Let’s be clear — this isn’t about a few extra dollars, it’s about transparency and legality. Charging more than the advertised price without a clear explanation is not just dishonest, it’s illegal. Dodgy practices like this ruin the entire experience. I won’t be returning, and I’d strongly advise others to stay away.

   Japanese style delicate flavours the skewers are absolutely yummy deep fry Camembert with a side pineapple jam broccoli with sesame sauce are my favourites but anything you could find in this menus will satisfy your taste bud the only bad in this restaurant is the charcoal burnt smell will be like a second parfumerie in your clothes but it worth!!

   I am always keen to try new yaki tori bars anywhere I go. This one was a pleasant experience, ordered three types of yaki tori and the one I mostly enjoyed was shrimp wrapped with bacon, awesome combo. The onigiri was also very good, loved the sauce the chef ducked in. I sat by the bar, so time flies when you see things being make at your sight. Lovely place!

   It's like stepping into a little pocket of Japan. I really enjoy the slower pace of this place. And ordering a few things at a time. They have a top 5 recommended skewers list, and I'd have to second it. The only other thing I'd add is the beef tongue and the grilled rice balls. The latter has such an interesting texture when grilled. The karaage is also a classic must have, as well as the beef tataki. I've also tried the gingko nuts and it's quite the interesting flavour and texture - worth trying once. Though Google tells me I shouldn't eat more than 7 of these nuts in a day... Great sake and classic Japanese beer options. And a very cosy ambience. If you're not a big group, would recommend sitting by the kitchen. Always fun to watch them grill.

   Good food. The tataki was slightly spicy making it better than usual. Would recommend for a chilled night out

   I liked the table that sits down on the floor designed for a group of about 8-10. Music playing in the background was very diverse from pop to cultural. Would be nice to stick to one thing. Food was good. I would come back here but it wouldn’t be my first pick but still worth checking out
