“Walked in at lunch time, nicely greeted and beautifully custom-made sushi straight away for immediate consumption haha. So hungry, so delicious. Highly recommended”

“Amazing service and sushi once again. Bruce is a very genuine customer service orientated man. Extremely friendly as his wife and staff. He remembered me from many visits 10+ years ago. You don't get that anywhere else.”

“I hope they will go back to the menu they had when they first opened. Their original menu used to serve dishes that I only get to eat from high-end hotels. Not saying they don't serve good food now. Their menu now is completely fine. It maybe the basic set of rice bowls and noodle meals but still very authentic when it comes to taste. Maybe its not viable financially to have exotic Japanese dishes in Kapiti but it would be nice if there was at least 1 dish in the menu that would truly shine. Something that does not try to please everyone and is more loyal to the culture of Japan.”

“Really rate this place, i ended up getting a spicy karange chicken donburi as the sushi pricess were a little expensive and i was hungry. And for 22.90 the donburi was well worth it! It was Very delicious and a very good size with genourous chicken. Would 100% come again :)”

“This place is incredible. By far the best Don Buri I have ever had. My family ate here and thoroughly enjoyed it. We come here most times when we go to Auckland as it is just so delicious”

“very nice Food, If you can handle the hot and spicy noodle, then try the spicy u-don”

“Fantastic suishi selection and complimentary miso. But the best bit was the outside tables in the cool shade with green outlook. So peaceful listening to cicadas.”

“The best sushi in Hamilton in my opinion. The salmon, avocado and cream cheese and the vegetable tempura are my absolute favourites! But I like almost everything lol and they also give free miso and are very friendly, welcoming and have good customer service. Also if something isn't there that you want to eat they'll make it for you if you ask.”

“This is probably one of my go-to Italian spots in NewMarket. The staff are incredibly friendly and super helpful at recommending dishes to try. The food is always super fresh and flavoursome, and the great atmosphere really adds to the overall experience. The price point is average for the city, but with the quality of the ingredients I would definately say it's good value for money.”

“Spur of the moment restaurant choice before a show......and excellent choice! Lovely food, friendly & helpful staff. Would recommend to everyone for central CBD restaurant. Reasonably priced & great service.”

“Favourite omurice spot in the city! Yoshizawa is a quaint restaurant located on the side of a busy street. Everytime I walk in the warm smell of curry, beef, rice and chicken makes me salivate. Friendly and quiet staff, perfect if you're an introvert like me. Highly recommend getting one of their omurices, super fluffy and slurpy eggs over hot fried rice (be careful!) And wow oh wow, the curry. It is so rich and strong, well seasoned and creamy that when you pair it with the egg and rice... Absolute banger. Chef's kiss. 10/10, peak restaurant.”

“A great little find off the main road on Parnell. It was very quiet which was nice for us as a family of 5. Had really generous sized meals packed with lots of flavour. The drinks were nice and cold I enjoyed the passion fruit mojito. Our children loved their meals just a bit large for them. The lunch specials were delicious and very lovely service from the hosts. Reasonable pricing for quality meals.”

“This place is the real deal. Very authentic, the place is super cozy, the service is really good and the food is amazing. The rice especially is sooo good. Definitely a must visit! Favorite place we’ve eaten at so far through out NZ trip.”

“Japanese ramen and love the taste, Spicy Miso Ramen is the best one if you are spicy lover. The staffs are friendly, will be my default ramen in Christchurch. :)”
