Sushi restaurant in Auckland

“I had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional Japanese restaurant in Auckland, and I can confidently say it was one of the most authentic and memorable Japanese meals I’ve had outside of Japan. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the quiet elegance of the space, which set the tone for an outstanding dining experience. The quality of the food was truly top-notch – every dish was beautifully presented, expertly prepared, and rich in flavour. You could taste the care and precision in each bite, from the freshness of the sashimi to the perfectly balanced broths and delicately seasoned vegetables. It’s clear that the chefs are deeply committed to traditional techniques and high-quality ingredients. What stood out just as much as the cuisine was the service. The staff were courteous, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind – attentive without being intrusive, and always ready to explain a dish or recommend a pairing. Their hospitality added a personal, thoughtful touch to the meal, making it feel not just like a dinner, but an experience. If you’re looking for authentic Japanese cuisine in Auckland, this place is a hidden gem.”

“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.”

“Very obvious to see the owner has put heart into this place. Amazing service and delicious sushi! Also got a free miso soup with my lunch!”

“Crazy Sushi is my go to number 1 lunch spot! The sushi is so good, tasty and flavourful (my favourite is the tuna - but get in quick because they’re usually all gone by 12pm!) and Angela is the absolute best - her superstar customer service and smile never goes un-noticed. As a regular she always remembers my order, even down to the extra soy sauce packet which sets crazy sushi apart from the rest. Would definitely recommend crazy sushi!”

“Absolutely loved the food here. The tempura was super crunchy and the udon was delicious. Friendly service too — will definitely be back!”

“I recently tried chicken teriyaki and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The shop itself was super clean and the owner was really friendly. They've also got a great menu with udon noodles, bento boxes, curry and awesome sushi packs. Looking forward to explore more of their food and highly recommend this place for anyone looking to have good affordable Japanese dishes.”

“The owner is incredibly kind, and every dish is bursting with flavor! The chicken? Honestly, it’s even better than most places back home in Korea. Highly recommend this spot—you won’t regret it!”

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

“The sushi was pretty good pretty average like other sushi places, but their staff members were so friendly! They had a smile on their face full time, and I was the first one in the store and when they saw me coming in they all greeted me and because I was the first one not all the sushi were on the shelf. Once I started choosing they immediately started to make more sushi to put on the shelf!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Fresh quality sushi, great service. Pro tip, Ask for a 10 pc roll of your fav flavour and they’ll roll it fresh on the spot.”

“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!”

“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”

“When I first seen the size of the dishes I said: where do we go to have a pizza or else after as I'm famished. But was I disappointed....?! Yes in a good way. The last bites from the last dish I couldn't even eat it anymore.Each bite from each and every dish was not what it seemed to be....all was bursting of flavour. Your tongue gets super excited and buzzes....it is like a culinary orgasm...so you better wait at least half a minute before you take another bite. And prepare for surprises everything will taste differently than you expect to.And every little detail from plate to arrangement is very expertly chosen.And really you have to allow 2.5hrs for the full 7 dish menu....you can't rush it or you spoil it. So even if outside looks very simple and you would not expect for such a restaurant in that place prepare for Michelin macromolecular type of cuisine to delight you. Well done to Kazuya and the whole team.”

“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❤️”

“Really good place to eat. You can choose what ever noodles cup you want between spicy, medium spicy or mild & what ever option you choose, they also boil your noodles cup & forks, napkin are provided aswell. All sorts of flavors too.”

“Ordered 60 pieces of sushi, and they performed above expectations! I ordered teriyaki chicken, katsu, vegetarian and avocado salmon. They packaged it prettily and delivered to my doorstep with perfect timing! Even better, the sushi tasted marvellous— freshly made, well pressed together, deeeliiciousss! The lovely lady was very patient and kind as well, and we had a lovely chat about what event I was hosting at my place. Hope Boss Sushi steadily builds a loyal customer population!”
