Sushi restaurant in Auckland

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! A few years ago I was pregnant,tired and incredibly hungry and all the restaurants were actually closing their doors, including vino. My poor husband ran up just as you were closing the doors and asked if you had anything spare he could buy for me quickly. Without hesitation you actually turned your ovens back on,chatted to my husband about life,and made me a double portion of pasta FREE of charge and said it was a gift for us and our first baby. I genuinely cried at how generous you were to a total stranger. Don’t know if you remember this at all,but it’s always stuck with us! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.”

“The food at your restaurant is exceptional—each dish showcases the artistry and authenticity of Japanese cuisine. The flavors are incredible, and the atmosphere is so inviting. Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience!"”

“Recently visited Ebisu with a group of friends to experience their Oki No Saturday Buffet. The selection was truly generous- fresh sashimi, sushi rolls, shrimp, udon and miso soup as well as hot dishes like salmon, braised beef brisket. And many delicious desserts. I have to say the sashimi was beautifully arranged and fresh. The service was friendly and attentive throughout. Our group wholeheartedly enjoyed the Oki No Saturday Buffet. I will recommend it without hesitation to anyone if you are looking for a relaxed Japanese buffet in Auckland.”

“We had amazing dinner here we did the à la carte menu. The sashimi was fantastic possibly one of the best in Auckland. If not New Zealand. The steak was amazing. The staff were really friendly and helpful and all around great restaurant. I haven’t been for awhile. It’s nice to see they haven’t dropped their standards.”

“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.”

“Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow I am always amazed by the service, Tony (front of house) is absolutely amazing, How do you remember customers names even after weeks!? Definitely feel very appreciated as a customer, Great service is so hard to find anywhere nowadays. The food is also fantastic, Have to try all the great flavour on the menu. Great authentic Italian pizza, Al Volo customer for life A++”

“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 ☺️”

“Sal’s Pizza in Mt Eden delivers a truly authentic New York-style pizza experience. From the moment you step in, you're greeted by the comforting aroma of freshly baked dough, sizzling pepperoni, and melted mozzarella. It’s the kind of smell that makes your stomach rumble and your expectations rise — and thankfully, Sal’s lives up to the hype. I ordered two classic slices: pepperoni and cheese. Both were exceptional. The pepperoni slice was perfectly crisp on the edges, with generous layers of spicy pepperoni that curled up slightly as they cooked, just like a real New York slice should. The cheese slice had a rich, gooey stretch and the tomato sauce underneath balanced it out with a slightly tangy bite. The crust was spot on — thin and foldable in the center with a nice chew, but still strong enough to hold the toppings without going soggy. The base had that beautiful light char underneath, giving it that authentic pizza oven flavor. What really blew me away though was the pepperoni wheel. It’s not just a gimmick — it’s a masterpiece. The dough is rolled around layers of pepperoni and cheese, then baked to golden perfection. Every bite gives you the perfect combination of soft, cheesy interior and a slightly crunchy outer layer. It's compact, flavorful, and ideal if you're after something handheld and satisfying.”

“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.”

“We were served by Sarit, he was friendly and generous. The food came quickly and tasted good. My 4 year old loved the cheese pizza and watching football on the TV.”

“Great place to go if youre wanting a quick feed! Sal's signature fries are steal for how nice they are. Service is REALLY good. All the staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is quite cozy too!”

“Service was positive her name is Simran her hospitality and friendly service made me feel happy by her greetings and the positive service she provided. We are sorry to see her go as this is her last night. In future may we have positive and vibrant staff like Simran. Thank you lovely for being positive each time we come to pizza hut Papakura.”

“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!”

“We had the Turkish vegan pizza. It was more than delicious....it was scrumptious! Obviously made with love and care by a man who loves what he does. Heaps of fabulous, very tasty toppings. Excellent price. Well worth it. So thank you, we will be back.”

“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.”

“The beef and cheese burger is simple yet absolutely class, the chicken nibbles seem pricey but they’re pretty huge. Overall such good food. Only complaint would be the fries to sauce ratio - the aioli is actually amazing but just slightly not enough. Customer service is excellent - friendly people”

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

“Seriously the best pizza, chicken tenders and garlic bread I’ve had in a long time. Better than KFC, Pizza Hut and dominoes!”

“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 balance of flavor in chill chicken so number 1. I personally called and checked who baked our pizza and thank Chef Amaan for yummy chill chicken mild pizza.”

“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.”

“Super quick service. Delicious pizza with huge portion and toppings. Friendly and warm welcoming staff.”

“Yesterday, I came to buy pizza from your store with my family. We really liked the way the turbaned guy spoke and his service. the second best thing was that I liked the pizza he made. We want such service in our Manurewa city so that we can sit with our family and enjoy eating your pizza. Thank you.”

“Chatpata paneer is bloody good. Soft spoken staff :) extremely glad there is a Indian flavour making pizza spot that’s actually very good. 1st Jun visit: Had tandoori paneer, had to bin it immediately after first bite. Absolutely didn’t feel d flavour. Extreme disappointment. 9th Aug visit : Opted for chatpata paneer again , ain’t trying any other for a while. It was so good. This was a free pizza considering my last unhappy visit few months ago. I got served a large pizza when I wanted only a small one. There is no way a large could be consumed fully by one person especially this one with the heavyness in it. I insisted I pay but Sameer’s brother( didn’t get his name, my bad) was more adamant in not letting me to. All he wanted was if I was happy with the pizza this time 22/01/25 : Had thin crust chatpata paneer :) loved it OMG.”

“Pizza always cooked to perfection and always consistent. Service is very straight to the point, however, I have noticed new staff working here who are much nicer to deal with than when the store first opened. This is always our go to branch kn the Hibiscus coast and I would highly recommend it.”

“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”
