Sushi in Auckland

“True authentic Italian with great service and atmosphere. The pizzas were delicious and the lemon cello & tiramisu is a must! We would certainly return - fair price and no complaints! Would recommend booking as it’s quite a small restaurant”

“Amazing woodfire pizzas that packs great flavour and have great variety. The spicy chorizo was a standout but we also liked the truffle prosciutto as they both had subtle flavours balanced by great dough. Service was amazing as well ended up spending 4 hours catching up and the guy didn’t mind and never even pressured us at all. Great cozy spot that we’ll return to for sure.”

“Best pizza place in Auckland by far. Crust 5/5 Killer crust. Perfect thickness and crunch too it. Passed the flop test when you hold it. Sauce 5/5 Both their white and red sauce are amazing. Complements all the other ingredients and the base very well. Toppings 5/5 Great ingredients. You can tell the pizza is going to be great even before you bite. Vibes 5/5 Cool bunch of people. Last recommendation - if you can, eat there so you can have the pizza when it come right out of the oven.”

“This pizza place was a hidden gem. On Friday evening, after finishing work, I went there with my partner since I had been wanting to try it for a while. Parking was a bit challenging with limited slots and no street parking, but the cozy, welcoming atmosphere made up for it. The staff who served us was very kind and provided great recommendations. We ordered two pizzas: Mushroom & Ricotta and Chicken Meatballs & Artichokes. The mushroom pizza was incredible, with ricotta cheese perfectly complementing the crispy crust. It wasn't too salty or greasy - just perfectly balanced. The Chicken Meatball pizza was equally amazing, with fabulous meatballs and a delicious sour lemon zest. For anyone who loves pizza, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!!”

“Ordered for a family of four and the meals were ready in under 2mintues !! Super cool very delicious and flavourful”

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

“Culprit had been on our must-try list for a while, thanks to its reputation for contemporary New Zealand cuisine. We finally got the chance to experience it for our wedding anniversary dinner—and it did not disappoint! We opted for the seasonal menu with wine pairings and couldn’t resist adding a Culprit classic as well. Every bite was a delight. Truly loved it! The restaurant’s soft music, stylish décor, and gentle lighting created the perfect romantic and relaxing atmosphere. A big thank you to the professional and friendly staff who made our evening even more special. Keep up the amazing work! Culprit has officially earned a spot as one of our favourite date night spots in Auckland CBD.”

“food was SO good. everything was good. shocked by how good the fries were - absolutely jaw dropping. everything on the dessert menu is such a slay - my fave was the sesame ice cream. lovely ambience, had a lovely dining experience. photo attached for proof that everything was DEVOURED”

“Very nice pizzas, they taste just like what you would get in Italy, which is a rare find in NZ! They also have a vegan cheese option and the dough is vegan, as it should be. The owner is friendly and it was nice chatting to him. Highly recommended!”

“Came to Meadowbank Pizzeria for dinner tonight. Got a Gormet Special pizza. It was amazing. probably one of the nicest pizzas I've had since going to Italy. Anchovies, capers amd olives were plentiful, and the roasted garlic made the whole thing pop. Would definitely return here next time I'm in Auckland.”

“Sorry for the photo of the half eaten pizzas but we were hungry! Very impressed by the pizzas we ordered, The Prosciutto and The Delhi Chicken. Great tasting classic pizzas. All 5 eaters were very happy.”

“It is a cozy restaurant with lovely staffs and I had very nice lunch time there. The pizza made from daily fresh dough，so it had an elastic、 crispy and tender crust，aromatic toppings. They use their original in-house sauce with rich taste. These are completely different from pre-finished meals which are served in other restaurants. Meatballs、BBQ Bacon pizza and Risotto di Pollo are amazed me，if you come here you should try them.”

“Bento box was awesome, miso good too. Would recommend!”

“stopped in for dinner on our way home from watching the ALL BLACKS and i must say the owners are absolutely beautiful people, food was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was so peaceful and friendly i would highly recommend the food was delicious and will definitely be back. this place is a must especially if you get into photography aswell the owners both have some awsome photography work on display on the walls and in a few published books our whanau throughly enjoyed it ❤️”

“Love this place! Such good value which is rare these days and the food is great!!. If you are after value and good food head to Uber they always have buy one get one free . If you don’t order from here you are only cheating yourself.”

“Gorgeous spot tucked on the top end of town. I can honestly the best sushi I’ve had in New Zealand and even rivalling tastes from my travels to Japan. Pricing was well and truly fair for the quality and the staff there were so joyful. Can’t wait to come back ❤️”

“Beautiful meal with fresh ingredients well price with lovely service atmosphere. Thank you”

“Enjoyed our Apricot chicken and cheese pizzas tonight. Very yummy and would rate 10/10. Pizza quality met my expectations after reading previous reviews from other customers. High recommend.”

“I hadn't my breakfast and wasn't planning for lunch, so I thought why not to have brunch at Goode Brothers, I ordered mushroom burger, onion rings and pineapple juice for me. The taste were amazing, it satisfied my cravings for carbs and suger. I enjoyed it with lovely sunny and windy weather bcz I was seating outside. If you are vegetarian and don't know what to order, try this mashroom burger at Goode Brothers. It was lovely experience to have brunch there. Highly recommend. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. Everything was 10/10.”

“We did the pasta making class tonight and it was incredible!! Eloise, Luke and Jess looked after us so well the whole night, they were super personable and knowledgeable. It was heaps of fun and amazing value for money. We got so much food and two cocktails, plus our homemade pasta to take home all covered in our class cost. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a fun date or girls night!!”

“Just moved to the area and have visited this roast shop two nights in a row now.. best roast shop in Auckland easily in my personal opinion. the way the lady was cutting the fine selected meats had me in a daze while waiting in line and delivered with flavour when devoured. Keep up the good hustle”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (If I could, I’d give 20 stars!) We came here for dinner and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The wine was excellent, but what really stood out was the incredible service. I wish I remembered the name of the gentleman who looked after us: he was outstanding. He explained the menu with such honesty, knowledge, and enthusiasm, and it was clear he had a deep understanding of both the dishes and the restaurant itself. We were unsure what to order because everything looked so good and we couldnt decide as we wanted to try everything. he guided us perfectly, giving thoughtful recommendations and going above and beyond to make sure we chose what suited us best. Even though the restaurant was full, he was attentive, quick, and genuinely warm smiling the whole time and clearly enjoying what he does. It’s rare to find service like that these days. The food was just as impressive. We had a meat dish (piatto con carne) that was one of the best mains I’ve ever had in Auckland, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The linguine pasta was also delicious. But the star for me was the olive ascolane: even better than the ones I’ve had in Italy. For dessert, the cannoli was outstanding, the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal. Even when it came time to pay, the staff were friendly, accommodating, and made us feel welcome right up until the very end. We truly enjoyed every moment of our experience here and will definitely be back. Highly, highly recommended!”

“I'm so glad we tried Hayami. The food was excellent along with the service. The food must have arrived at the table in less than 10mins after ordering. Reasonably priced good quality wine too.. The decor inside gave a real Japanese feel, which just added to everything. It was one of the best Japanese I've had in Auckland.”

“This restaurant more than lives up to all the great reviews. The setting, location, interior, and vibe are perfectly in tune with each other. The food is incredibly flavorful and beautifully presented. We had breakfast here, and you could truly say it’s a breakfast for champions! If you’re staying in Auckland, this place is an absolute must-visit.”

“We had a great dinner! New menus are absolutely stunning. It's good that the Crispy Pork Belly was back in the menu with a refreshig sauce and I love the braised cabbage. The staff are friendly and accomodating. Thank you!”

“We got dinner and a couple of drinks each and WOW, this place absolutely exceeded my expectations. We were served by a super friendly lady, who seems to really care about this place and giving people a great experience. The food was outstanding. Huge portions! Steak cooked to perfection and the garlic bread was banging. We are very very happy we chose this place for our staycation and we will be back, thank you guys :)”

“Best sushi in town. Great service every time. Delicious and beautiful sushi with a good range of variety. It's pricey for sure but the quality speaks for itself.”

“Surprisingly beautiful Italian restaurant tucked away in the gardens. Authentic Italian cuisine and such amazing wait staff, very attentive and friendly, always makes a huge difference when dining out. The food was beautiful, and decent servings that please a big appetite.”

“Dropped in for the $10 lunch. It was simple, but very tasty and exceptional value - rice, omelet, choice of a vegetable dish. Really good value for money. I don't know many places where you can feed yourself for $10 for lunch. Cute interior design. Lots of space for groups of all sizes and people dining alone. A bunch of people turned up after us, so looks popular. The menu looks great, will come back another time to try it.”
