Japanese restaurant in New Zealand

“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!”

“Not only is the food at Sake Nippon Bar delicious, but the portion sizes are ideal. We ate a range of dishes, but my personal favourite was the chicken katsu. The chicken was fresh, flavourful and crunchy. The service is excellent. Food is served promptly. The atmosphere is conducive to conversation. However, on other occasions, it has been quite loud.”

“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”

“This is my second time to dine in there. I come again not only for food, but it is also for staff. Last time my family went there for dinner and asked a staff to serve us with hot water, instead of tap water. He said that it took around five minutes for boiling and wonder if we could wait. Of course we could and felt being cared. When the water was served and then staff worked his another task, my aunt was accidentally spilled the cup of hot water. The staff member should had heard us and noticed the spill; he immediately brought us a thick towel to dry it off and asked if we were hurt. We said no and thanked him for his concern. Today, I went for a lunch and a female friendly staff serves me and give me suggestions for my struggle. I want to have Ramen, Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki, however, it is not possible to have all of them. She said that the size of Okonomiyaki is big and I will be very full if having Takoyaki at the same time. She thought that Ramen and Takoyaki are better match ( enough and not too full）so I took this option. Takoyaki is really yummy, crispy outside and soft inside. That's why I ordered one more for takeway. For Ramen, it's the most popular pick for customer and the taste is great, but I would be better to choose less salty which the staff has suggested to me, as the original is little salty for me who seldom dine out. The shop makes me feeling relax and warm. It's a tiny shop with 30 seats inside, including six counter seats, four sets of four-seat and two-seat each. Outside seats are available and there are two or three four-seat table. There are the good place for group of two to four person to have a nice lunch or dinner gathering. It's also good for dating.”

“Dishes are generally over sweet… sauce is also over. otherwise dishes are all good. not my taste of sweet foods.”

“Wow. Amazing experience. Our German Chef was spectacular. Thank you for a great family dinner meal. Kids were amazed.”

On the plate at Old Street Asian Hawker Food, the idea is Japanese‑leaning and well judged. Packaging keeps things in good shape to go. Value feels fair for the quality. Portions are generous yet well judged.

“Best sushi in Hamilton for sure.. my favourite place to come..”

“Best place to eat with a good atmosphere.”

“If you are coming to Napier, the Art Deco Masonic Hotel is the perfect place to stay. The rooms are clean, fun, and comfortable. We originally only had a booking for 2 days but loved Napier and the hotel so much we booked an extra 2 days at the hotel. Victor at reception, and all the hotel’s staff, are very kind and accommodating. The hotel is in a great location, everything is walkable from it, and you’re right in the middle of downtown art deco center. When we return to Napier we will be staying at the Art Deco Masonic again!”

“This is hands down the best sushi in town. Some sushi is pre-made otherwise you order and it is made fresh. The price is so good and the staff are so helpful!! Highly recommend.”

“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.”

“only got few pieces as quick lunch bites but all so fresh and goodd. Will be back for more”

“Good quality Katsu served with rice, salad and miso soup. The Katsu was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender inside. The sauce as creamy and sweet, which did complement it well. The portion size was great and left full. Easy parking outside and plenty of seats around inside. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.”

“Awesome food! Had the ban ban chicken, miso eggplant, cabbage salad, sautéed broccolini and mushrooms, pork and vegetable dumplings and the tonkotsu shoyu ramen and everything was delicious, especially the dumplings, the ramen broth and the miso eggplant. Very nice service and pretty restaurant with chilled atmosphere. Definitely a go to.”

“We found this hidden gem by accident. The food was incredibly good and the ingredients were clearly fresh. Wow”

“The sushi rice was perfectly prepared, and the tonkatsu sushi was surprisingly delicious and remained delightfully crunchy despite being on display in the afternoon. Additionally, the discount offered after 3pm is a great deal. If only the wasabi and ginger could be freshly made from scratch, it would elevate the overall dining experience.”

“The food here was so delicious I had to come back twice during my stay in Christchurch. I ordered the Grill Beef on Rice, along with a Chicken Teriyaki Bun (50 cents of the sales of the buns goes to the Arts Centre). I left feeling nice and full. Give this place a visit if you're the mood for some good Asian food at a good price.”

RAMEN×MUSIC Fumetan keeps things breakfast‑and‑brunch and focused on flavour. A sensible spend for the spread. Portions are generous yet well judged. Breakfast plates are tidy and satisfying. The team...

“We went there two days in a row because we really loved it here. The food is all vegan and super tasty. There's also lots of vegan cake options. The staff was also super friendly.”

“That was awesome with Homemade Japanese food. Don't miss it. RECOMMENDED!!!”

GIANT BREWING delivers a simple, bistro-style offering that’s straight to the point. Plates offer plenty without tipping heavy. Service stays present without fuss. A sensible spend for the quality. Me...

“I’ve eaten all over the world, at places ranging from down to earth and fancy. This is easily one of my favorites—there is a perfect blend of restaurant food and a home cooked meal vibe, all in a reasonable price. We eat here regularly and it is the highlight of the work week. Highly recommended to everyone!”

“Excellent food Very clean and tidy Plenty of parking on the street and side street Friendly and great service Will come back again”

“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”

“Calm environment, and delicious food, even though it was done on time, was super fast, and the boy who attended us, was patient in explaining the dishes to us, even though I had a broken English”

“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.”

“First time ordering from here and wow. Delicious sushi, beautiful platters, friendly service and good price range too. Will definitely be back highly recommend. Thank you.”

“Most likely the BEST sushi restaurant! When I went there face-to-face, the staff greeted me with a smile and "Hello!". I knew I was gonna have a HUGE tummy after my dinner. Me and my family go here most likely every night! When I asked for tuna sushi without avocados, (I hate avocados don't ask me why.) After 1 minute, I got my order. Fast service! Before I left, I told them I would give them a 5-star rating, which I did! TYSM!!”
