Sushi restaurant in New Zealand

“Each bite was a delight, and the presentation just blew us away.”

“Oji Sushi is always a great choice! They’ve got a solid selection of sushi and other Japanese dishes. The location is pretty conventional, but it’s reliable and convenient. I used to go there every week for lunch when I worked at the wharf, and it was always a satisfying meal. Definitely recommend it if you’re in the area!”

“Love the service in this restaurant : I think this is a very authentic Chinese restaurant in Dunedin. There is a buffet and a la carte. The Sichuan cuisine tastes very good. The pickled fish tastes authentic. My family and I come here often. The service is also very good.”

“Custom made us Salmon Roses - Salmon super yummie - love love love”

“Flame who served us at Smart Sushi was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond for us to help us get the sushi we needed and was so kind and helpful to me and my kids. Thank you for such amazing service Flame.”

“Thank you very much for the wonderful team. I forgot my phone on the table. Just realized I left my phone behind for quite some time. The staffs kept it safely for me. Can’t thank them enough.”

“Conveniently located on level 3. Lots of sushi options. Always fresh. The oysters are great too when they get new batches in. A must go to spot if you are watching the calories. Just don’t eat the rice and you will be all good!”

“Very fresh salmon (it’s really fresh) and freshly cooked rice! Not chilled or taken from the fridge with dried rice and just defrosted fish like most of sushi makers do… Very yummy! Comparing with sushi from botany town food court, “st Perrier” from Pakuranga sushi, and “mr Lee” from Botany junction. Ps - on the photo there are Chicken Yaki Udon and Miso soup.”

“Got the seafood udon soup. Ingredients were tasty with nice texture. Broth was simple yet flavorful. I’d taken a few bites already before taking this photo.”

“This was by far one of the BEST BURGERS I've had in years. Just the most juicy, delicious & tasty burger and for about the same price price as a normal crappy burger from a burger chain. Do yourself and your tastebuds a massive favour and make a stop at Phat Burger! Excellent value!”

On the plate at SushiTree, the idea is Japanese‑leaning and well judged. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down. Broths and noodles keep good heat and snap. The team keeps things friendly and organised.

Miga Hako runs with a burger-led menu and a relaxed feel. A sensible spend for the quality. Plates offer plenty without tipping heavy. Combinations read bold but stay balanced. Team members keep thing...

“Nice food! They open only once a month for dinner! Want to come back to try other dishes.”

“A hidden gem bordering the city centre! Fast and friendly service. Delicious, fresh and authentic Japanese food. Great portion sizes and pricing. Welcoming atmosphere with lovely decor.”

“Brought my parents here for their 45th anniversary, was totally worth it. Got to try their Kagoshima A5 wagyu to see if it lived up to the hype. Was amazing. Never tasted beef like that before, melted in my mouth like butter, didn't need any garnish or condiments, just grilled and seared to perfection. The set menu was good too but the Wagyu was definitely the highlight. The different wine pairings worked really well too”

“Had lunch here and it was very nice to sit in at a restaurant with exceptional service and great food! The portions were also generous, will definitely be back again.”

“Really nice and friendly service. Made me some cheese rolls without onions which was really kind! Didn't need to do that. Thank you.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Outstanding Experience — Joe’s Garage Has Our Hearts! We first discovered Joe’s Garage in Queenstown and instantly fell in love — the food, the layout, the vibe… everything was perfect. But the real star for us was the pancakes, which our daughter adored. For a whole year she talked about them and couldn’t wait to go back as we were from Auckland. So when we found out there was a Joe’s Garage in Silverdale, we were thrilled — even though we live all the way in Henderson, we were more than happy to make the trip. We finally arrived, excited and ready… only to learn that the famous pancakes are only served before 5pm, and we had arrived at 6:30pm. Our daughter was devastated, and honestly, so were we. But this is where the magic happened. Our wonderful server Tyra (who was also managing that evening) could see how much it meant to our daughter. We politely asked if there was any chance the chef might be able to make an exception. Instead of giving us a flat no, Tyra said, “Let me see what I can do.” She went to speak with the kitchen team, and came back with the most heartwarming news — their chef Hunter was willing to make a fresh batch of pancakes from scratch, just for our daughter. We were genuinely moved. This wasn’t standard service — this was above and beyond. Tyra’s kindness, and Hunter’s willingness to go out of his way, created a moment our family will never forget. Because of this experience, Joe’s Garage will forever have a special place in our hearts. Wherever we see a Joe’s Garage in the world, we’ll be loyal supporters — and our daughter will too. A massive thank you to Tyra (server & manager) and Hunter (chef) for turning a sad moment into such a beautiful memory. You made our daughter’s day, and ours. ❤️ Ray from Henderson”

“Excellent service, greeted and shown our seats as soon as we arrived. The staff were always on hand checking on us, never had to wait long to ask for another drink or anything else off the menu. The food was delicious. Large meals. Wanted to try the dessert but didn't have enough room in our bellies from the delicious food. Love the garlic loaf and the mocktails were yummy.”

“The food was sooooo good omg. I will be a weekly returning customer. The customer service was so lovely. The lady who served me was so polite and nice. Delish sushi!! Will take my husband here to try the donburi bowls next!”

“Yummy sushi - consistently have tuna and unagi as well as the standard salmon sushi. Competitively priced too.”

“Haven’t been for a while but popped in for lunch with a couple of colleagues. The service was great - wait staff were very attentive and pleasant (they actually smiled - you don’t always get that these days). The meals themselves exceeded my expectations, both in flavour and size. There was also no issue with a small meal alteration I had. And I had an almond hot chocolate (which can sometimes be a bit hit-or-miss depending where you go) but it was nice and hot, and absolutely delicious… 10/10”

“Woah...portions are BIG....ribs were really nice and if you are not too hungry, maybe a starter portion is sufficient. their burger was also super, and beer to go with it. all good. Just be careful though if u are ordering sides, be clear what you ordered and how much extra it will cost. I ordered a side I thought came with the main course and ended up paying close to $10 for the side.”

“The service was wonderful. Alex was our server and she was super friendly and genuine. The food was lovely. Very happy. Thanks guys. Made our wedding anniversary special”

The kitchen at Monza Sports Bar takes a simple, bistro‑style path and lets the food speak. A sensible spend for the spread. Service stays present without fuss. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down.

“The man that served us was the nicest mcdonald's worker I've ever met. He was very nice and bubbly and attentitive to our needs. He said welcome and goodbye to everyone who walked in. The food was great as always.”
