Sushi restaurant in New Zealand

“Went to Gusto Italiano not knowing what to expect which ended up being a great decision last night. Our dinner the seafood spaghetti, chicken breast with vegetables & chicken fettuccine all amazing. The service from Milan & Armando was equally great. Definitely will return and thinking about ordering pizza & lasagne for tonight.”

“Have lived just down the road for 2 years, so thought it was time to try out the local Italian joint. Grabbed a takeaway lasagne (made in less than 10 minutes), walked home (less than 5 minutes), and chowed down. Super moist, super yum! Will def go back and get Cabonara for my wife, plus will try out their canelloni :))”

“Amazing, Have been here three times and service is always great and food is amazing. Seeing a Panigale is cool too.”

“Ordered a pizza and barata on Uber. Was blown away by the taste and then discovered a nice long black hair in the pizza. Aside from their terrible food hygiene, I couldn't fault the taste.”

“We had a delightful dinner at Siamese Doll recently. The flavours were amazing, portions were generous, the service was attentive without being overbearing. We had 2 entrees, 4 mains and a round of drinks for $60 a head, which I thought was great value. Great to see a busy restaurant on a Wednesday night! They also dealt with my daughter’s nut allergy seriously and respectfully. We’ll definitely be back again soon!”

“It's been a while since I have been to this restaurant although I have had some good takeaways from it. The meal last night was of an excellent quality , with good friendly service. I continue to rate this as one of the best Japanese restaurants around. I will be back.”

“Ver nice experience in Taiko Kingsland. Sashimi is fresh and the portion is great. The prawn on the hot plate tastes very good!! The mayo sauce melts in the mouth with tender prawns… a must try dish here!!”

“Wow, just Wow! Food was absolutely amazing. The ambiance and service was amazing too. We celebrated my daughter’s birthday and they even turned down the lights to sing happy birthday. We will definitely be back to try some of the other dishes. Thank you for a beautiful night out. Highly recommend.”

“I love this place! Really good food and service. Prices are reasonable, too. There's not really a downside, but if you're seated in the separate booths in the hallway, you lose some of the atmosphere, but if you're looking for some privacy, that's the spot. 5 stars!!”

“Nice, simple but delicious food. Possibly the best value Japanese meal in Auckland. The service was excellent, and the owner was friendly and welcoming. This will be our regular Japanese restaurant. The food was so good I forgot to take pics of the rest of the meal.”

“Have had the lunch deal a couple of times and find it unbeatable for value”

“Very busy restaurant, we went around 7:30 and it’s nearly full house on a Wednesday night. Food was great and authentic as usual. You have a lot to choose from on their menu. Portion size is great, I won’t say it’s pricey.”

“Fish n chips very yum and reasonably priced. Ordered 3 - $35 good value for price for me and my family. Would recommend to others”

“Really great pool hall, extremely well priced to play pool, the food is a bit on the pricier side, but it is really high quality and tasty. Had the $31 burger which was never going to be the best value, but it was very nice. Had the ribs last time and the pizza too, all very nice. Some of the best thick cut fries I’ve had. Really great place, a local favourite.”

“I loved our food and experience at Origami in Wellington. We found this Japanese restaurant on TripAdvisor and I am so happy that we went to have dinner there! I highly recommend this place because everything was perfect. The atmosphere is nice, cosy, and modern with cute looking decorations and wall painting. The Japanese staff member was very cute and helpful at recommending dishes and teaching us about Japanese ways of drinking sake. And the food was very delicious! We had Tom Yum and Miso ramens and a dragon roll.”

“The best ramen I've found in Wellington so far - hearty flavourful broth, perfectly soft-boiled egg, thin juicy pork ... Well worth the exploration up the mysterious stairs for the authentic vibes and chill J-Rock playlist. Definitely gonna start taking friends and family here!”

“Everything was great!! The staff were nice, the pizza was delicious and cheesy. The sprites were big which was good. We also got lemon cheese cake and cookies & cream gelato which was delicious. The only negative was the waiter staff didn’t ask if we wanted 2nd drinks.”

“adorable and this pizza is insane. best pie i've had in months.”

“Called for a last minute booking and they managed to fit us in. BEST PASTA and tiramisu I've ever had out before. Generous portions that weren't over filling or over priced. Amazing server Namita always wearing a smile and very hospitable, so welcoming. Will definitely be coming back”

“Incredibly friendly staff and delicious food at terrific value. We ordered quite a spread to try out a few different things. The portions were very generous and well priced. The basil aioli is absolutely wonderful! It's the little things. Very comfortable environment too. Loved the place. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in the area!”

“A neat little bar tucked away from any main road that has an outstanding collection of craft beer, a quirky menu and, if you’re there at the right time, live music. This little treasure is always worth a visit”

“I had no idea that Sals now does Hawaiian pizza! Had to go and try at my local Sals store in Wynyard Quarter and it was awesome! Lovely thin pizza bases and the toppings are top notch. Highly recommend any Sals Pizza store to everyone. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales”

“Had the best Bacon and Eggs in any cafe ever and I travel across Auckland a lot. Toast and poached eggs were perfect and bacon was amazing. Flat white was great too! Thoroughly recommend.”

“Cute small japanese restaurant. The restaurant is clean and has a comfortable athmosphere. The staff is very nice and helpful. They seem to like working there and do a lot for the positive vibe. What I've ordered so far: Takoyaki - new favourite dish at Coo's, I just had it today and it was so creamy and delicious! Gyoza - absolutely amazing, especially with some soy sauce. Can 100% recommend this as a starter or to have with a drink. Katsu don (Pork) - was amazing, it could do with some extra tonkatsu sauce for the rice but was still very (!) good. Ikageso - delish little calamaries. Nothing more, nothing less. Karaage don - the karaage was nice and juicy. I am not yet sure how it compares to the chicken katsu don but can recommend. Eel don - beautifully presented and I loved it, but I like eel in general, so if you are not big on fish, I would not recommend this. Umeshu - nicely presented and tasty, reminded me of some dried plums I've had back in europe”

“After coming once before, we have come back as a family with higher expectations than the last time. We cannot express the absolute wonderful experience at Katmandu. The beautiful decor around the restaurant adds to the identity of the restaurant and the culture too. This restaurant deserves all the praise that they receive and will receive in the future. The food is quickly prepared and served with absolute excellence. I wish to thank the owner for the opportunity to experience such cuisine. To possible new customers, my family and I urge you to visit and experience Kathmandu for yourself.”

“This was my first time ordering, and I have to say I’m really impressed! The delivery was smooth and on time, and the food arrived hot and fresh. The meal itself was absolutely delicious — full of flavor, generous portions, and beautifully prepared. Everything tasted just right, and it honestly exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be ordering again and highly recommend to anyone wanting great food and reliable service.”

“My wife and I celebrated our 25th (Silver) Wedding Anniversary with a meal here. The food, service, and atmosphere were great. The view out over the Waitākere Ranges was beautiful, despite the overcast evening. It was unfortunate that we were unable to have our preferred and reserved outdoor seating, due to the verandah being inaccessible for wheelchairs.”

“How amazing to find such high quality legitimate Delicious pizza in Auckland. Last time I had a good pizza like that was in Italy ! Thank you Umu. Great Pizza. Highly recommended & Definitely will come back again soon !”

“Finding this little gem so close to dressmart is indeed a wonderful surprise. A truly authentic dining experience. My family arrived for lunch and having travel extensively overseas we feel this restaurant provides a very credible atmosphere and dining experience. We thank the staff for such a wonderful experience. We will return whenever we are in the area. Again, thank you.”

“Great selection, build your own pack in 3 suggested sizes. Good pricing; on par with more commercial sushi such as St.Pierres Newmarket. Love it here. Absolutely lovely service”
