What People Say

"If you are looking for a Japanese dining experience in Auckland that goes the extra mile with presentation..."

Reviewers consistently praise the high-quality, beautifully presented food and the cozy, inviting atmosphere, making it ideal for special occasions.

"A wonderful place for dining.. I and my son have a great lunch time there. The food is excellent and the environment is good. Free parking on street"

"Food was overall alright/good. Hits the spot for Japanese cuisine but it was not a “I found Jesus” moment. If you know what I mean. I liked the Eel chawanmushi the best and the sukiyaki a close second 👍🏻"

"The food was beautifully presented. Most of the food was delicious. However, the portions were a bit small, and the steak I had had a bit of a smell."
