Sushi restaurant in New Zealand

“Lovely Italian restaurant by the Wellington Bay. I had a working lunch here with some colleagues and we did enjoy great food and drinks. I tried the risotto and I love it. We also tried pizza, calamari, the bread, and gelato. The service is fast and the staff is friendly. It has beautiful view for sure. Parking can be a bit challenging.”

“Best One Sushi I've been to. Heaps of chicken when you order chicken rice bowl.”

“This is located in a food court and shared spaces with another restaurant Eight grains dumplings and Bao. We ordered the vegan bento box with soy marinated eggs, vegan ramen and gyozas. The portions are sumptuous and the food is really tasty. All the sides in the bento box were delicious especially the miso ramen. The vegan ramen was delicious too. Overall the ambience is really good combined with very fast service”

“Delicious food. Very Nice Italian ambience. We ordered Antipasti Plank and the assorted cheese blends well with green olives and the saltiness of the capers. Mains are very delicious. We enjoyed our Porchetta and Lasagna. All good and we surely come back in the future. Thanks, Hanneke and the rest of the team.”

“No idea what the 1 star reviews like CHLOE are talking about. this is the best sushi I have had of all time. Perfect amount of sauce, and mayo. chicken and rice ratio is made to perfection. When ever I am in Kaiapoi I am always sure to stop by and buy a tray of sushi. Keep doing what you're doing guys, because what ever you're doing it's working.”

The two in our group who are sushi fans were really impressed and loved the sushi. Definitely great sushi at a very reasonable price. You've got to try it.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding experience — highly recommended! As a chef myself, I rarely write long reviews, but this place truly deserves it. I’d confidently give it 5 stars for the incredible value we received. The location is just perfect — peaceful, away from the city noise, yet easy to reach. We went for a family dinner- birthday celebration and were pleased to find plenty of parking available, as nearby businesses were closed at that time. The food was plentiful and well-balanced — not an overwhelming menu, but thoughtfully curated. From a chef’s perspective, every dish felt just right. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. One of our little ones accidentally broke a glass, and the team immediately stepped in to clean up and made sure we were comfortable — that kind of service speaks volumes. Overall, one of the best places to dine — whether with family, as a couple, or for a corporate dinner. Beautiful setting, delicious food, and genuine hospitality. Definitely worth visiting again!”

“Sorry no photos. Pork dumplings are the best I have tasted in NZ so far, so full of flavour, as for the crumbed chicken it is so tasty. This shop suits my buds for maybe once a fortnight as it is fried food but certainly looking forward to my next visit. Thank you.”
