Japanese restaurant in Wellington

“Great restaurant, good for come with friends. I like spicy food and this just a right please to have spicy food and Taiwan style food.”

“Such a cute wee Japanese restaurant with extra friendly and extremely polite Japanese staff serving you. Food so delicious. Great value for money using First Table - makes eating out affordable, especially when you have a giant teenage boy to fill up! This is my second time visiting Arashi in two weeks becuase I loved it so much the first time.”

“The best place for big group dinners. Went on a Saturday night and the place was packed-had a great energy. The staff are very professional. They write down you name & order to ensure everyone gets the right thing. Food was alright- felt like the miso soup and the sauce on the grilled fish was overly sweet. But liked the crunchy prawn dumplings. Will definitely be back for future group celebrations”

“Don't know why there aren't more reviews about this place. I feel like it gets overlooked because Sushi Bi is nearby at the train station. However, this place is a little gem. I remember coming here a good 10 years ago when the price of one piece of sushi was 70 cents. This place is still greatly affordable and still holds up its name to having great chicken. Their chicken katsu donburi is perfection. You get the katsu sauce and kewpie mayo drizzled over a deep fried chicken cutlet that is still so juicy and crunchy even though it was probably fried an hour or few ago. They include both lettuce and cabbage underneath this beautiful chicken and a generous amount of rice. I was afraid getting the regular size was going to be too small for my appetite so I got some sushi on the side. The sushi is cheap, at their basic pieces being $1 per piece. It's nothing to write home about but it's fresh and simple which I do prefer sometimes. The range is small but it's solid. Their salmon is very, very good. I think I'll order the large donburi next time. If you don't eat chicken, they also do a fish katsu! I'll be coming back again for that chicken katsu donburi. It calls my name....”

“I have bought sushi there twice and it is the best sushi I have ever tasted in New Zealand. Subtle flavouring, immaculately presented, generous filings,unique and totally worth a visit. I regret living 20 kilometres away. Superb and I wouldn't bother writing a review unless it was absolutely deserved. Unassuming sushi queens end of. I'll be back at the soonest opportunity.”

“Tuna and chicken onigiris are great! Good sushi, really like pockets with different fillings”

“Incredible food :) first time visit today and will be back again . Thank you”

“For a takeaway sushi shop its perfect. Good selection and quality. So much better than other budget places around Wellington.”

“I even got a Miso Soup on the house because it was so cold. Lovely place even though it is not the cosiest.”

“My go-to lunch restaurant. The food here is delicious, great quality and good value for money. The staff are very friendly and offer great service and the restaurant is always clean. They also have some delicious vegetarian options. Highly recommend the vegetarian don if you don't eat meat.”

“Made nice Californian rolls. The nicest ever tasted. Dumplings are good for my midnight snack.”

“Absolutely love the click and collect option and the fact that you can get specially made custom rolls with brown rice. I do recommend ordering earlier in the day if you do want brown rice because they often run out after lunch. When this happened to me I instantly received a message phone call from the staff explaining the situation and my options- great communication.”

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

“As a student sushi is the perfect thing between classes. Its cheapish, it's good, and I don't have to wait for it to cook. The best part is that past 4-5 the prices go down, which is perfect when you have late classes”

“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.”

“We arrived unknowingly before opening time. The owner saw us and opened up for us and gave a great run down on the great variety of sushi they sell. 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.”

“We lunched at St Pierre for a quick shopping lunch of brown rice tuna avocado sushi and Katsu chicken on rice and Te food was delicious not to mention, we received fantastic customer service AND managed to get a table!”

“I really appreciate the service today. I had special dietary requirements and the worker went above and beyond with confirming and explaining how they would be able to accommodate my dietary requirements. Very grateful.”

“this place is great. Their $7 chicken on rice bowl (any chicken btw, pretty good) probably makes it the cheapest place to get good quality food in Kapiti. I have tried all of their chicken and I have to say the chili and the teriyaki chicken are the best. I don't have any complaints, 100% recommend.”

“Best sushi that I've had in Wellington! And especially great wasabi!”

“Great sushi shop! Went here a few weeks ago just before the shop closed. Worker gave me a great deal and was super friendly. Sushi also tasted amazing. Would highly recommend!”

“Have been coming for a few years for my usual Chicken Teppanyaki Meal and it usually hits the spot, even though it feels like the portions have shrunk, but yesterday the meal tasted amazing. Everything was fresh made to perfection and the flavors was nek level. A+++”

“Great staff, super professional, quick. Sushi is always fresh and yummy. Place to go.”

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

“Best sushi in town, kids love it and visit every Sunday.”
