Japanese restaurant in Auckland

“Tempura was nicely cooked, udon noodles were fresh and not too soggy. The bento set was good and not too pricey.”

“It's a standard format cafe. I got for one thing, my fave Katsu Chicken on Rice. Always an easy purchase. Place is clean and staff are always willing to help.”

“I absolutely love Japanese food, and Daruma Ramen is the best I’ve had so far in Auckland. We’ve been here so many times — it’s become our go-to place for dinner, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious, authentic, and comforting. The service is always excellent, and I especially love the robot food server — such a fun and unique touch! The place itself is modest but very comfortable, which makes it even more welcoming.”

“Always get a quick snack from here when in hurry. Crab salad is my favorite, so as sushi of the day. Convenient with ample car parking lot.”

“Excellent customer service (in fact the best l've recently had in Auckland)!!! Great tasting sushi, too. Excellent value and fresh (even though its late on in the day)!”

“This place is amazing. They have a great selection of food, and everything I've tried is legit. My only complaint is that you guys aren't open on the weekend, which is 90% of the time I want to demonlish all your tastey food.”

“Ordered the chicken lunch box for $19. Enjoyed the taste and portion size! Will be ordering again”

“We’re regulars & always order food from here Highly recommend”

“The party platter was wonderful. It was a taste I wanted to eat every day. It was more delicious and touching than what I had in Korea. I really recommend it and make sure to try it”

“Love this place great value for money, great food and good service”

“Beautifully presented and variety of sushi to choose from, including purple rice rolls. All delicious.”

“staff were super nice and welcoming! food is fairly priced :> i get sushi here after school so theres a limited selection when i visit, but im sure theres a plentiful selection earlier in the day !”

“The ramen was yummilicious and deserves 5 stars!! The service was excellent and he gave us recommendations on which ramen to order. The pork broth was sedap and we drank till the very last drop!!”

“I enjoyed my udon noodle everytime i pop by ☺️”

“Definitely recommend this place ! Best sushi of all time, my partner and I come here every week not only for the food but the amazing service from the three lovely ladies and the chef . They are always so welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The atmosphere is cozy, the presentation is beautiful, and you can really feel the love they put into their food . It’s become our go-to spot, definitely a 10/10 experience!”

“Always a great experience when visiting any St Pierre's Sushi outlet. Their new vegetarian menu is great! What a selection! If you are looking for a quick and healthy bite, highly recommend St Pierre's Sushi!”

“I can quite honestly say that this is one of my fav sushi shop while I traveled in Auckland. Amazing tasting and enthusiastic staff!”

“Very good place to get a wide variety of quality sushi and seafood. Spotless venue and plenty of parking.”

“5 stars because they’re the first place I’ve seen that has offered a $0.50 discount (minimum spend req.) for BYO sushi container - double thumbs up! The sush itself is probs about 3 stars but I go back for the convenience. Update: they do amazingly delicious poké bowls for lunch - the spicy salmon (pictured) is my personal favourite as it’s fresh and yum”

“The sushi is soo good here, as well as all the other food. The staff are friendly and there is usually a lot of selection of food. Also the location is very convenient.”

“The seafood stall is never open when I go there lol”

“Well done to Takanini St Pierres. We usually come here once a week to buy sushi and chicken on rice and some crab nuggets. The staff is always friendly, always making my food fresh and always put cutlery and napkins in our bag. Our cards get stamped promptly and numerous times ive walked in on them cleaning their floors spotless and their toilet is the cleanest ive seen. Theres never dirty containers on the tables and they also care for the people sitting outside of the shop sometimes. If I could give you guys 100 more stars I would. Unfortunately, I learned the yucky way today by going to Karaka St Pierres as I thought I'm closer coming off the motorway. I will never make that mistake again.”

“Japanese cuisine is always my favourite. It’s the first time I have dined at Daikoku at Botany Town Centre on 16/11/2023. The Japanese manager who greeted me at the entrance of the restaurant was very friendly and hospitable. As I can speak some Japanese, we could have a lovely chat. The Japanese Chef was also very professional and attentive. There were only three of us on the same table so there was not much noise. Food was delicious and I would like to take my husband there some time later. I highly recommend you to come there and enjoy their lunch special if you happen to get near Botany Town Centre.”

“The lady was super friendly and let me try the spicy sauce before ordering.”

“The Bay Sushi in Half Moon Bay is a great spot for a quick and satisfying meal. There was no waiting time, a wide variety of sushi to choose from, and the prices were very reasonable. The owner was welcoming and friendly, which made the experience even better. A convenient and reliable choice for sushi in the area.”

“We were so impressed by UNKAI! Food was authentic and large portioned. Really enjoyed their sashimi and sukiyaki. Prices were reasonable. Services were at a high standard, we felt very welcomed. Will be coming back for sure. Highly recommend to everyone.”

“Really nice food. Attentive waitress. Belly pork is so tasty. Can smell BBQ before you even go in. Great food”

“Awesome customer service. The efptos machine wasnt working and my bill was $15 but i only got $12. The lady on the counter gave me a discount. Really happy with that. Its our more than 10 th time here. Food is always tasty , specially the skewers/kebab”
