Sushi restaurant in New Zealand

“Had a small family dinner for the five of us. We love pasta as a family and I cook pretty decent pastas myself with homemade sauce. This was out of this world. Particular loved the October special and the three meat ragu.”

“Always awesome. As a couple we would visit Bootleg at least monthly and each visit is just a great experience. The venue is comfy, rustic, an excellent example of giving life into an old building. The staff go out of their way to welcome us and free tastings are part of the experience. I am not an avid craft beer drinker, but there are so many other options, cider/sours/ lagers...the rhubarb cider when on tap is amazing. Thanks Bootleg team”

“Very tasty Japanese food. I tried the chicken curry and fried chicken rice. Both very good.”

On the plate at Tu-meke DON, the idea is simple, bistro-style and well executed. Team members keep things friendly and on task. Plates offer plenty without tipping heavy. A sensible spend for the quality.

Bambina Pizzeria keeps things pizza-first and focused on flavour. Music and pace keep a casual tone. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Plates offer plenty without tipping heavy. A sensibl...

“Was an absolutely amazing place. The food is incredibly delicious. A lot better than Domino’s or Pizza Hut and was so fast we were in the car and got distracted and he came and delivered it to us. What a place, would recommend”

“This is the second time we've had Pizza Pesto cater for a birthday. Each time the service is above and beyond - Angela was incredibly helpful even on short notice to deliver for our event. The pizzas arrived hot and our guests all asked where we got them from! The butter chicken one was a real crowd pleaser in particular. One guest even said it was the best catered birthday party he'd been too! Thanks for going above and beyond in every respect!”

“Really delicious food and great quantity sizes. Will definitely try make this a regular place to eat!”

“Great service and food. Would definitely come back”

“After reading and hearing all the amazing feedback from the local community, I had to try a Burger and Chips. The Chicken Burger was Huge and full of Real ingredients, I went with the Chicken Aloha Burger. The seasoning was perfect, the flavor combinations with bacon and pineapple were exciting and filling! *Real Chicken lovely and Tender, the salad components all fresh and crispy. I couldn't finish all the chips myself, the aoli sauce just topped it all off well. Highly Recommend!! If your passing through Hellensville, pop in and try one of their meals. Delicious and Fresh !!”

“SCORE: 85/100 I saw that Due Amici had a lot of positive reviews in Google, so I gave this a go. Booked a day before for two and had no problems. They were extremely busy, which reflects their ratings clearly. Had their signature pizza, which was great and a pasta dish I forget the name of. Both were great. I would definitely go back and try more from their menu. Highly recommend.”

“We like that it’s a small hole in the wall brick oven pizza place. Perfect for in and out. It is very nice, comfortable and welcoming. Fast & friendly service and pizza was superb. We got the Carne. Crust was thin, soft on the inside and a perfect slight chewiness on the outside. Also perfect amount of sauce & cheese. We totally enjoyed it very much. Highly recommend this place.”

“Ordered two beef salads and two Pad Thai’s - best Pad Thai in Wellington- this is honestly the best takeaway place in Johnsonville- love all their meals!”

“The food was exceptionally prepared and presented. It was full of flavour and melted in your mouth. Loved the extra details and the friendly service. We had the set menu and it is well balanced and just exquisite. This restaurant never disappoints.”

“Always excellent customer service being provided by staff especially the woman celebrating her birthday today.”

“Dined at Oikos for the first time this evening, and we will definitely be back. We ordered a variety of dishes to share – the lamb shoulder was super tender, the chicken skewers were delicious, and the honey feta was lovely. The portion sizes aren’t massive, but this is the sort of restaurant you’d visit for the experience and the quality of flavours, rather than to leave feeling absolutely full. My only suggestions would be to provide salt and pepper on the tables and to consider offering some non-alcoholic wine options. Warm service and a lovely atmosphere – many thanks!”

“It's a take out place. The food was amazing. They are not kidding on the level of Sichuan”

“Seriously the best pizza in Auckland! The staff are always so friendly and the atmosphere lovely. We love their gorgeous pizzas so much we had to share them with our friends and family at our wedding! Wayne was a dream to work with to cater our celebration and so many great comments from guests.”

“Great quality sushi with a nice variety and great pricing. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Auckland.”

“Top notch Napoli-style pizza, the best in the area. Crisp bases and fresh toppings with punchy flavours. The packs of pre-made bases are worth getting too, for days when you want to make something at home. Highly recommended!”

“Alright everybody, in my opinion, this is the best sushi in Auckland. I’ve been going there every week, and the sushi is always super fresh and delicious. Honestly, I’ve tried lots of sushi spots around Auckland, but this one is hands down the BEST in the city.”

“It's half-price when I went there after 4pm. I felt much better. As you know, prices in New Zealand are too high. There was sushi for vegetarian and there were various kinds of fried food. The fried food was sweet and delicious because it had chili sauce on it. It was a satisfying meal. I want to try Donburi next time. All the food in Marusushi looks delicious.”

“This Japanese restaurant in Newmarket is such a delightful gem, offering you delicious menu with high quality ingredients with authentic flavours. The chef is amazing, she cooks succulent chicken with a healthy mix of tsukemono and options to choose purple rice. Even their miso soup comes with chopped tofu. They change their tsukemono on different days. So far the karaage chicken and teriyaki chicken are delicious, feels like a hearty Japanese home cooking. Give them a whirl — just across the Newmarket train station!”

“Loved this place. Food is so tasty. The owner is super friendly and welcoming. I was over visiting New Zealand and he was made sure I had a great meal. Fantastic service and again the food is delicious. Located at East Ridge Eatery which allows groups to choose from different restaurants but still sit together.”

“A hidden gem that serves up some fantastic ramen and other dishes. Went here with my fiancée to grab some ramen and katsu after a long day of adventures and hikes. They are in a rather odd location, a warehouse district with no discerning signs of a restaurant in the heart of it. However if you have the drive it has definitely worth a stop. Staff is super friendly and dishes come out piping hot. Would just mention that there isn’t a ton of seating inside and outside so larger parties may run into some obstacles there. However a more intimate dinner date is easy.”

“Amazing fantastic tiny pizza. And real delicious loaded fries. So good. Great service”

“It's not the cheapest sushi but the selection is great and the premises is very nice and easy to order from. Lovely high ceiling and nice furniture. Even the wooden chopsticks and soy bottles feel premium compared to other sushi restaurants. I would advise eating in rather than takeway.”

“Had some really delicious Japanese food today! It’s not strictly traditional. It’s more of a Japanese fusion style and everything was super tasty. The atmosphere was great and the service was fantastic.”

“Exceptional. I had the teriyaki and tempura bento. So nice and fresh. Super quick too!”
