Pizza & Sushi in Auckland

“A favourite restaurant we like to return to. Lovely service and delicious food. The steak melted in the mouth, highly recommend. Wagyu tataki is a must. They also had yummy Halloween themed cocktails.”

“Great bar and place to eat. Really good service by the staff and very good food. The older reviews placed on this establishment are not accurate.”

“We had a birthday dinner for my mum and the food and drinks were amazing. I had the passionfruit mocktail which was out of this world! Tried a variety of dishes and enjoyed all of them. The pork was succulent, the octopus was soft and delicious. Fish burger and truffle fries with Parmesan to die for. This is a beautiful restaurant atmosphere with excellent food and drink options and would highly recommend”

“Nice penne Arrabbiata. They don’t have wireless payment facility so bring cash or card, not just phone!”

“We were lucky enough to walk in with no reservation and grab a table outside in the sun tonight for dinner. The food was all incredible, so fast and so yummy. All the staff were great, super friendly and helpful! Will definitely be back again ☺️”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Outstanding Experience — Joe’s Garage Has Our Hearts! We first discovered Joe’s Garage in Queenstown and instantly fell in love — the food, the layout, the vibe… everything was perfect. But the real star for us was the pancakes, which our daughter adored. For a whole year she talked about them and couldn’t wait to go back as we were from Auckland. So when we found out there was a Joe’s Garage in Silverdale, we were thrilled — even though we live all the way in Henderson, we were more than happy to make the trip. We finally arrived, excited and ready… only to learn that the famous pancakes are only served before 5pm, and we had arrived at 6:30pm. Our daughter was devastated, and honestly, so were we. But this is where the magic happened. Our wonderful server Tyra (who was also managing that evening) could see how much it meant to our daughter. We politely asked if there was any chance the chef might be able to make an exception. Instead of giving us a flat no, Tyra said, “Let me see what I can do.” She went to speak with the kitchen team, and came back with the most heartwarming news — their chef Hunter was willing to make a fresh batch of pancakes from scratch, just for our daughter. We were genuinely moved. This wasn’t standard service — this was above and beyond. Tyra’s kindness, and Hunter’s willingness to go out of his way, created a moment our family will never forget. Because of this experience, Joe’s Garage will forever have a special place in our hearts. Wherever we see a Joe’s Garage in the world, we’ll be loyal supporters — and our daughter will too. A massive thank you to Tyra (server & manager) and Hunter (chef) for turning a sad moment into such a beautiful memory. You made our daughter’s day, and ours. ❤️ Ray from Henderson”

“Located in a basement, with a few large long tables. Lovely Thai food. Music is a little loud, but able to have conversations. Recommend Papaya salad, tom yum soup.”

“Learned about this hidden gem from family and friends, and dropped by for lunch after picking up groceries. The chicken and squid karaage had the perfect balance of crunch and tenderness, while the egg and potato salad was a particularly inspired compliment. Loved the calm, cosy vibes of the premises, too - mix of indoor, shaded and outdoor seating available.”

“I had a pleasant experience at this restaurant today. The beef and sushi was excellent, very flavourful and pleasant to the mouth. The service by Sophia and Lucas was excellent and commendable as they were extremely friendly. If you’re in the area i would highly recommend.”

“Enjoyed a breakfast here on a Monday morning in an outdoor seating overlooking Oneroa township. Monday is a relatively quiet day on Waiheke without the weekend xrowds. The menu for breakfast and brunch was reasonably comprehensive and well priced. The restaurant was busy and frequented by locals which was a good sign”

“We come here a lot with the kids and it’s always great. Friendly service, tasty meals, and large portions. Can’t go wrong here!”

“The curry is rich, the pork cutlet is crispy, and it comes with vegetables, pickles, and soup. They also offer affordable options like small bento boxes. A great lunch spot near the university!”

“Whenupai roast catered for my event and boy did they do a great job. They were super friendly and wanted to hear about my story. The food was delicious and on time, I highly recommend getting the wontons in your order.”

“I used to visit here for my lunch. Now I don't have much time for my lunch so I ordered from ubereat. Food was always tasty with good portion. Ubereat delivered the food to my house was super fast, within 30 minutes after I placed the order. Food was still hot when I received. I ordered grilled pork with yellow rice, which was so amazing. Pork was well marinated. Highly recommend”

“This place is great! Reasonable prices with good portion sizes and good quality. I love their chicken on chips they’re actually goated.”

“My husband and I ate our late lunch here. I ordered Salmon and Capers Pasta, and it was soooooo good! It was creamy and I love how it balances with the capers My husband ordered Spaghetti Carbonara and it was so delicious as well! Will definitely try their pizza next time.”

“Amazing food and service. Sakaba have authentic Japanese food in one hand and in another very creative dishes, like the wing gyozas and the monaka sushi. Sakaba is a hiding treasure in North Shore that deserve to be known by everyone who loves Japanese food.”

“The best little spot. Our favourite spot for the freshest fish, best selection and best value for money on sashimi. We always get a deluxe set each - and it’s consistently great each time. Kind workers and free miso soup too. Not a single complaint.”

“I had an amazing dining experience at Asahi. The food was authentic and beautifully presented, with every bite bursting with flavor. The sushi was incredibly fresh, and the variety of dishes on the menu was impressive. The staff were attentive and friendly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. If you’re looking for a true taste of Japan, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!”

“The most delicious Japanese food ever. I had the teriyaki chicken donburi and shared some dumplings. Amazing service, taste and quick and very cheap. Will be back again for sure!”

“You have to come and try it to understand why it is delicious. It's a small space, but the menu and atmosphere are the best for me”

“Called in here today for 2 piece's of sushi $4.40 & a miso $3. Thursday 9 October 2025.”

“Definitely the best (and most beautiful) sushi I ever had. If you have a few minutes you should eat in the seating are which is located upstairs in a business lounge with a glass front facing the harbour. The prices start at 1,50$ for the basic ones and they also have other options than sushi (e.g. Edamame, seaweed salad etc.) Totally recommendable!”

“I only order salmon and avocado sushi. Came here for the first time 2 days ago and the workers were very friendly and accommodated my request for a newly made pack of sushi without the wasabi and ginger in it (allergies). They did not hesitate to make a new pack and they smiled and were attentive to me and other customers the whole time. The sushi itself contained a lot of salmon compared to St Pierre's. I will definitely be back.”

“Complimentary papadam to start while you look at the menu. Great selection and equally great results when the food arrives. Staff are extremely polite and genuine people. Usually plenty of space as most people do takeaways, by the looks of it. Venue is moody but underlit in my opinion.”

“Have been dining in and ordering takeaway food from Tokyo Redturant for years now. The food is consistently excellent. We love it”

“It was my son that pushed me to go to this restaurant n might tell u it was one of the best. This restaurant is in my top 10 list. Best presentation and it's best team serving the best Japanese dishes. Highly recommended.”

“We ordered - chicken bento box - miso ramen - salmon lover sushi platter - yuzu fruit tea (cold) Staff was friendly and quick. I have never had chicken sushi before, so I was very surprised. The Bento box was great and very filling. We also had the Octopus balls and pork Gyoza as appetizers, they did not disappoint. I would venture to guess everything on their menu is amazing. Definitely worth the stop!”

“This is our favourite local Eatery! The staff are lovely and so very accommodating. Being able to take our own wine makes it more affordable, meaning we can eat out more often. Love it!”

“I went to Caffe E Cucina for a tinder date (which went pretty well, I think she likes me!) for lunch, and had a great time. We ordered different kinda small plates from the prima section of the menu and shared those which worked well as we weren't super hungry. The service was good, and prices not toooo bad. The food was definitely the highlight (after the company) with everything cooked to perfection. Seared tuna blew my mind.”
