What People Say
"I could not recommend this restaurant enough! The food was incredible, some of the best Japanese food I have had."
Reviewers consistently praise the freshness and quality of the food, along with excellent service and accommodating staff.
"Really delicious Jap food and everything was super fresh! Especially enjoyed the blue cod tempura - which was the first time we’ve ever tried this. Thanks for satisfying our craving for Asian food, after being away from home for awhile. Highly recommend this restaurant! 🌟💯"
"The food was nice although the portions were less than generous I’d say. Given Queenstown a tourist city, it’s not unreasonable. Worth the visit!"
"After having those disappointing overhyped burgers at Fergburger earlier today, this place was a true delight. I like Japanese food anyway, but this meal was such a good choice. Everything was fresh, tastes amazing and service was good. We had two rounds of sushi and eel. Sake was good too."
