“The best Japanese/ Latin American food I’ve ever had. Everything was perfect from the service to drinks and food. Chefs Eiko and Komo cook to perfection. I loved that they came to the table to explain the dish. I don’t eat coriander, they also asked if I was allergic, just to make sure the food was ok for me to eat. I can’t recommend this place enough.”

“I recently visited Ramen Ria and had a great experience. The wontons were perfectly cooked and full of flavor, the pork ramen was rich and comforting with a deep, savory broth, and the chicken karaage was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Everything felt well prepared and satisfying. Definitely a spot I’d be happy to visit again.”

“Not being from Christchurch we wanted some Chinese and found this place which we decided to try. A little on the pricey side but we really enjoyed our dishes, honey bbq pork is delicious, great sweet and sour pork, satay chicken, combination fried rice and singpore noodles. Would come back so highly recommend.”

“My Mum, Sister and I were looking for a local to check out for a nice meal and fun atmosphere. This place did not disappoint. From when we walked in, we were warmly greeted by VIP who was a very great Bar Manager and Host. My sister said her steak, eggs, salad and chips was one the best that she has had in awhile, Mum had fish and chips which she thoroughly enjoyed and my delicious crispy chicken burger was huge along with the tasty chips, compliments to the chef. Definitely recommend to all and look forward to the upcoming changes they will be doing.”

“My partner and I came here for the Wednesday night 2 for 1 Stone Grill and we were blown away! Delicious $12 cocktails since it was before 8pm! We both got a 200g Eye Fillet, our sides and the cut of meat was SO good! Great service considering how busy the place was! We stayed until midnight as we were there to watch State of Origin too! Great atmosphere and still amazing service even while the game was on!! Will absolutely be back! Great value for money!”

“The food was exceptional, with each dish showcasing outstanding presentation and well-balanced flavors. My friends and I shared the Tiger Prawns, Mushroom Arancini, and Sticky Chilli Fried Chicken as entrées, all of which were incredible. The Mushroom Arancini, with its crispy, golden-brown exterior and rich, cheesy center, was a standout favorite. For the main course, I had the Canterbury Eye Fillet cooked medium rare. It was perfectly prepared, tender, and bursting with flavor. From start to finish, the dining experience was outstanding. I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant.”
