Japanese restaurant in Auckland

“The ingredients are really fresh and delicious. Beautiful presentation. I love this dish. You should definitely give it a try.”

“I got 2 food items for around 20 dollars each, my whole party loved it here, the atmosphere felt very good and I especially loved the spoon that i used for my Ramen 10/10 would go there again”

“My fav sushi in the world. Teriyaki chicken SO tasty. Avocado always perfect. Always great choice throughout their trading hours. The old boy always greets you and is always happy. I lunch there 4 times a week. Thanks for the great food”

“Staff is very polite. I had teriyaki salmon on rice. They used a mix of purple and white rice. So delicious. The place is also very clean.”

“Wow! First time getting sushi from here today as just started working in the area and all I can say is AMAZING! So fresh and clean and lots of great options! Will definitely be back for more.”

“Actual best sushi shop in the land. The curries are top tier, the sushi and fried foods are always fresh and crispy, the store is always tidy and well prepped, and the staff are very kind and friendly. Very vegan friendly!”

“I had the best day at Yawara Ramen bar. The ramen is affordable and super delicious (some of the best ramen I’ve ever had as someone who has been to Japan). The portion sizes are generous and even the regular leaves you more than satisfied. The staff were super friendly and down to Earth. I had some wonderful conversations with the man with the kuma (くま) on his shirt! After lunch we went to the cafe section of the restaurant and bought so many treats that were equally as delicious. Extensive matcha menu is something I would like to try and will definitely be back. I loved it at Yawara Ramen bar!”

“Stunningly beautiful food. The best Japanese restaurant in Auckland, hands down. Exceptionally fresh seafood prepared with such care and skill… attention to detail across all elements of plating and service… a warm, relaxed yet higher-end dining experience - it’s one of the best meals out I’ve ever had. The food was just immaculate - after tasting this tempura prawn maki you understand what this dish could be… so juicy and massive and generous and fresh are those prawns with that tender perfect rice and light tempura crunch paired with the creamy avocado - it’s just incredible. The sake selection is also so beautiful… there is so much crap sake floating around Auckland… this is the standard of excellence. We had such an amazing time. It’s a really special place.”

“The sushi was delicious, with tender chicken and perfectly seasoned rice. The katsu chicken rice bowl had crispy, juicy chicken and flavorful rice. Both dishes were tasty and nicely presented. Highly recommended!”

“The standards have not dropped during each visit over the past 3 years. Melt in your mouth pork, flavour packed broth, considerate and delightful service - highly recommended.”

“A hidden gem in Gleneden, if you are after tasty fried kchicken look no further. Dined here for dinner as first timers after reading reviews and now we understand why this place has a high rating. Very friendly customer service. We were welcomed with big smiles and served right away. Sushi was 100% tasty and the fried chicken with mini hashbites were the best I have had. Flavour and coating was just too good, you know the chicken is good when you dont need to add the side sauces on. Prices very reasonable too. With a wide range to try. I would definitely recommend this place. Can't wait to come back and try out the rest of the menu. Thank you for the beautiful food❤️”

“So yummy! Best sushi on the shore and the team are always so lovely and nice. Plus do amazingly fresh and delish but good value platters if your entertaining.”

“What a spot!!! Really delicious food that is super fresh and amazing service. It’s a must visit!”

“Great quality food at affordable price. Tried chicken Sushi, they are fresh and very delicious. Donburi was fantastic too.. they added double egg, fresh salad and chicken was juice. Loved it. Thanks guys!!”

“Eye candy for sure. Not only are these sushi big mouthful sizes, they taste and look amazing too. Love the freshness of ingredients and the sweet flavours. So beautiful you feel like you are eating a ball of nature itself. Service: 5/5 Presentation: 5/5 Food Quality 4.5/5 Food Quantity: 4.5/5 Environment: 4.5/5 Price per person: $20-$30”

“Great service and food. Would definitely come back”

“Loved this place. Food is so tasty. The owner is super friendly and welcoming. I was over visiting New Zealand and he was made sure I had a great meal. Fantastic service and again the food is delicious. Located at East Ridge Eatery which allows groups to choose from different restaurants but still sit together.”

“Always brilliant, with delicious food and a great selection you'll be spoilt for choice. Nice background music certainly creates a wonderful atmosphere. The service and friendly staff always ensure a nice experience. We are certainly lucky here in orewa. The freshness and cleanliness will also have you impressed.”

“Sushi & Sushi is a new level in sushi. This is the first time I have ever seen a sushi sandwich and let me tell you that the chicken katsu sushi sandwich was 10/10! Form an orderly line and make your way to sushi and sushi now to try this piece of culinary genius. James Ashwin”

“Great little sushi place. Food is good and well priced. The staff are friendly and the place is clean :)”

“This place is amazing, fantastic sushi, a massive range to choose from, the staff are very kind and helpful and the shop overall has a very cozy atmosphere. If you are ever are craving real sushi, come here”

“Such a gem for Beach Haven this sushi shop. Excellent sushi, heaps of choice and lovely service. Deservedly popular place!”

“My son loves eating here. The sushi is fresh and the owners are very welcoming. A great spot for a quick meal.”

“Best ramen around, lovely staff, no complaints at all, very well priced.”

“This Japanese restaurant in Newmarket is such a delightful gem, offering you delicious menu with high quality ingredients with authentic flavours. The chef is amazing, she cooks succulent chicken with a healthy mix of tsukemono and options to choose purple rice. Even their miso soup comes with chopped tofu. They change their tsukemono on different days. So far the karaage chicken and teriyaki chicken are delicious, feels like a hearty Japanese home cooking. Give them a whirl — just across the Newmarket train station!”

“I was in Auckland for a conference and for one week and nearly everyday, I visited this place! I am a big Ramen fan and the Ramen of this restaurant just catched my attention and it was perfect! Sorry for the boring image collection of just one dish, which I ate 4 times there, but it was just so delicious. It is called Hell Ramen, which you can order in different spice levels. I started somewhere in the middle (which was already very spicy) and traveled the ladder up to the highest spice level and it was so good! Thanks to the family that runs this place! You were very nice!”

“A hidden gem that serves up some fantastic ramen and other dishes. Went here with my fiancée to grab some ramen and katsu after a long day of adventures and hikes. They are in a rather odd location, a warehouse district with no discerning signs of a restaurant in the heart of it. However if you have the drive it has definitely worth a stop. Staff is super friendly and dishes come out piping hot. Would just mention that there isn’t a ton of seating inside and outside so larger parties may run into some obstacles there. However a more intimate dinner date is easy.”

“The sushi platter we ordered from Sushi Plus for our child’s 2nd birthday party was absolutely fantastic! It was not only delicious but also beautifully presented with vibrant, colorful rolls that looked as good as they tasted. The variety was impressive, with something for everyone to enjoy, and each piece was fresh and perfectly made and added a special touch to the celebration. Highly recommend Sushi Plus for any event!”
