Sushi restaurant in Auckland

“I won't give a 5/5. Instead a 6 or even a 7 out of 5 for the food and service. Great food, especially those beer battered oysters- oh wow. And the great service, simply awesome.”

“We absolutely love the pizzas, the base is so crispy and not doughy. The flavours are beautiful. The Quattro is my favourite. Hands down the best pizza in Auckland. The smoked chicken pasta is also really tasty and authentic. Nice work team!”

“First time coming here for dinner and meal was great. We had the bento boxes which were great value and the tempura udon was tasty. The sushi was freshly made and tasty as well. Will definitely be back again.”

“Ok so if your looking for the best sushi train ever then you've found it. Man o man this place is amazing. The food is fresh and chock full of flavour. The popcorn prawns is next level. The crab dish was to die. Everything is priced as expected. The staff are friendly and fast I will go back for sure”

“Amazing service and sushi once again. Bruce is a very genuine customer service orientated man. Extremely friendly as his wife and staff. He remembered me from many visits 10+ years ago. You don't get that anywhere else.”

“My little family love this sushi place. Its the only sushi spot that I can 100% recommend. Compared to other sushi places we have been too this one just hits. They have a variety of different sushi. There's more filling then rice. I love the grilled teriyaki salmon and the grilled spicy prawn ooh to die for. My kids love there teriyaki chicken on rice. Alot of filling and flavour once again. We definitely recommend this sushi place.”

“Perfect and our fave go-to for sushi, beautiful food here, and by far the most affordable sushi in Auckland. The staff here are so inviting and respectful to their customers, always smiling saying hello and thank you. They also have the best prices in auckland 5 star always”

“This place is incredible. By far the best Don Buri I have ever had. My family ate here and thoroughly enjoyed it. We come here most times when we go to Auckland as it is just so delicious”

“Genuinely amazing sushi. So fresh tasty and good price for sushi in 2025!”

“Went there early evening so no need to book a table. Food was good but the eel bento box was little disappointed with the amount of eel served. Other food was good !”

“We love this spot! Very fresh, clean and delicious flavours. The menu is extensive and offers a bit of everything in terms of variety and price. Haven’t had a bad dish here so far. The team are very friendly and warm. The interior is full of Japanese theme with a homely feel. Yaruki for life!”

“The waiters in this restaurant are very polite and made me feel very comfortable when dining in the store. They will ask you carefully if you need more water? Still need some service? It's been a long time since I've tasted such delicious Japanese food. The vegetable tempura is not greasy and the ingredients are chosen just right, so it tastes delicious. The most surprising thing is that I didn’t expect the portion size of KIWI DINNER to be so big, so I think the portion size for two people is just right. A Japanese restaurant that is worth visiting again.”

“I enjoyed walking into this shop, very warm family owned feeling, very friendly lady behind the counter. Sushi tasted fresh, support your local and give them a go!”

“I’ve just traveled to the Peninsula and tried the chicken katsu with chips for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised! For just $14.50, I got a generous portion, and it tasted fantastic.”

“I went because it had the highest rating among sushi places. Best Fresh Salmon! I tried their donburi (rice bowl) it was so fresh and delicious. Combined with hot miso soup warms me up. There were many people for takeaway lunch. The kitchen seems so neat and clean as well. I am really glad I found this place.”

“One of the nicest sushi stores I've been to, it is excellent the selection is so nice !!!!! Everything is so good”

“Nice cosy place and it was perfect for lunchtime! I had Karaage don, which tasted as I had in Japan... Freshly made and delicious.”

“Superbly well priced fresh sushi. Especially like the 50% off deals you can get 30 minutes prior to closing :)”

“Great sushi! Lots of variety and the quality is very good. Service is always amazing! Going to miss eating your sushi :(”

“Best Sushi in Pukekohe by far. Could be the best in Auckland.”

“This seafood fried noodle was the best I had in ages, so much fresh seafoods with tons of vegetables as well. And apparently it comes in chicken, pork, and beef I would highly recommend to everyone ☺️ Oh and free miso soup comes with it! The customer service was very good as well :)”

“We will definitely be back! Cold beer and delicious food. The food was so good - Chicken Teriyaki, Chicken Katsu, Fish Katsu, Vegetable Tempura. Loved that the mains came with Miso. Very reasonably priced plus BYO (which is so rare these days). The only negative was the restrooms could do with a bit of a refresh, but you go for the food, not the loos!”

“This is probably one of my go-to Italian spots in NewMarket. The staff are incredibly friendly and super helpful at recommending dishes to try. The food is always super fresh and flavoursome, and the great atmosphere really adds to the overall experience. The price point is average for the city, but with the quality of the ingredients I would definately say it's good value for money.”

“What an amazing gem with excellent service and amazing food. The food was authentic and fresh and very well prepared and presented. There is street parking and even thought the restaurant is compact it can cater for heaps. You don’t need to book and can just walk in. Take away is also available but Its nice to sit down and soak in the vibe.”

“Favourite omurice spot in the city! Yoshizawa is a quaint restaurant located on the side of a busy street. Everytime I walk in the warm smell of curry, beef, rice and chicken makes me salivate. Friendly and quiet staff, perfect if you're an introvert like me. Highly recommend getting one of their omurices, super fluffy and slurpy eggs over hot fried rice (be careful!) And wow oh wow, the curry. It is so rich and strong, well seasoned and creamy that when you pair it with the egg and rice... Absolute banger. Chef's kiss. 10/10, peak restaurant.”

“We had such a beautiful meal here for two, restaurant is very authentic and service was great. The vegetarian lasagna was amazing and best I have had in Auckland also my husband had the meat lovers pizza which was very good! We finished off with the baklava for dessert which was lovely. I would definitely recommend.”
