What People Say

"It was the best Japanese cuisine we have had in Auckland."

Reviewers consistently praise the freshness and presentation of the food, as well as the warm and inviting service.

"Great little Japanese restaurant with great Japanese hospitality. The food was done very well and well presented. Sashimi was fresh and they even have special soy sauce for it. Tempura prawn Sushi was very good and was the vegetable tempura. Tempura was fresh and batter was light and nice."

"Always our favourite Japanese restaurant! Especially like the Asahi beers. I also like the eggplants, cold veggie dishes, sashimi, sushi, and tempura. Very Yummy!"
