“Really nice food. Attentive waitress. Belly pork is so tasty. Can smell BBQ before you even go in. Great food”

“Awesome customer service. The efptos machine wasnt working and my bill was $15 but i only got $12. The lady on the counter gave me a discount. Really happy with that. Its our more than 10 th time here. Food is always tasty , specially the skewers/kebab”

“I like coming to this shop. It's conveniently located with other shops and has parking right out front. The staff are always friendly and work very hard to ensure there is always a fresh variety of veg and non veg sushi. Their prices are very reasonable. I like buying the half and half, or the daily choice. They have a new promotional wrap which is made from soy bean instead of seaweed. It compares in taste, but is a bit softer which compromise the structure of the sushi a bit, but it's actually quite good.”

“Very fresh, great service plenty of space to eat and sit, does get packed on its little rushes highly recommend”

“Staff is very helpful , caring and always smiling. I usually go thrice a week with my autistic child which can be nuisance to other people but these people are very caring and full of patience.”

“Food was really nice. My main was rice with an egg omelette on top with fried chicken on top of that. That cost me $24.00. My entree was 6 pieces fried pork done in a batter. These set me back $9.00. I got reasonable portions so I do recommend this place. It has a quiet atmosphere which was nice to be able to hear my friend talk. Overall a great place to go.”

“On my way home from work yesterday, I stopped by this sushi shop and bought three boxes of sushi. The salmon and avocado were very fresh, and the sushi was delicious. Even though it was close to closing time, they still provided excellent service. I highly recommend this place!”

“Great restaurant, good for come with friends. I like spicy food and this just a right please to have spicy food and Taiwan style food.”

“Excellent opportunity to have some good food around Hereford av. In Central Christchurch. The music remembers me an Japanese karaoke with no doubt. Lovely staff and delicious food, was a very good pick specially with our first table reservation what guarantee’s us 50% off.”

“Big and spacious restaurant located in the Dining Precint on Sylvia Park. Service was good and overall restaurant was tidy and had nice ambience. In terms of taste, I did find it a little more on the bland side.”

“Such a cute wee Japanese restaurant with extra friendly and extremely polite Japanese staff serving you. Food so delicious. Great value for money using First Table - makes eating out affordable, especially when you have a giant teenage boy to fill up! This is my second time visiting Arashi in two weeks becuase I loved it so much the first time.”

“The best place for big group dinners. Went on a Saturday night and the place was packed-had a great energy. The staff are very professional. They write down you name & order to ensure everyone gets the right thing. Food was alright- felt like the miso soup and the sauce on the grilled fish was overly sweet. But liked the crunchy prawn dumplings. Will definitely be back for future group celebrations”

“Love this place! The staff are always happy and polite, the food is fresh and delicious and its always clean and tidy. If you haven't ordered from the Donburi or the yaki udon, yaki soba menus I HIGHLY recommend it! They're made fresh and take about 10 to 15 minutes to cook depending on how busy they are, it's worth the wait! They taste delicious :)”

Putaruru Food Court keeps things simple, bistro‑style and focused on flavour. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down. The team keeps things friendly and organised. Orders move at a steady pace.

“No booking, seated 3 on entry. Your seated next to a train that carries entree sized servings of sushi, donburi, seafood, dim sims etc plus desserts, cream puffs, tiramisu, mouse etc. Continuous train. Simply grab the dishes you desire while seated and eat! Plates are color coded, these are how they tally up the total cost. Drinks list, soft drinks, red, white, beers, nothing extra. 3 people plus drinks ate till full, took home a fav each, $80.”

“Went there already twice. Loved the food, it's really Japanese cooked by Japanese. And it's not expensive at all ! Takoyaki were really good. The cold udon could use a little bite more soup to it.”

“I always go back because the quality of the food never change and the best ramen i ever had around Christchurch. Keep it up!!”

“Aweseome food. Thanks for doing something different than just burgers, really enjoy the diverse menu and your food is always on point!”
