Japanese Restaurants in New Zealand

Great sushi and California Rolls. The food is reasonably priced and the menu has all the favourites. They had a huge variety on the rolls with many that seemed to be unique to Midori.

Excellent Japanises cuisine, great staff and very affordable. BYO wine only. Slightly on the small side but if you can get a table it is well worth it. Wide range of choices on the menu, located right in the middle of town.

Friendly staff, and excellent food. A wide variety of choice on the menu and good selection - there is sure to be something to suit everyone. Quite a small place and got packed towards the end of our stay, so it would pay to book

My friends and I agree that this is the best Sushi bar in Auckland. The rolls are packed full with filling and the rice sticks together well. My favourite is the Dynamite roll (Salmon, Chilli and Crunch). Any roll with crunch in it is sure to please. It is BYO also so great place to meet up for dinner before heading out.

A good friend brought us to Mr Yakitori about 3 months ago and we have been dining there faithfully since, in fact almost weekly! Coming from Singapore, we are very discerning where food is concerned. We have never been disappointed with the food at Mr Yakitori. Daniel, the chef and owner, always ensures consistency and quality of food. We love the tender chicken thigh and beef fillet yakitoris. The lamb, tiger prawn and salmon yakitoris are really good too. My kids love the bacon & banana yakitori. A must have each visit: the grilled eggplant and courgette, yummy! Now if you are brave enough for grilled chicken heart, Mr Yakitori IS THE PLACE to have it, succulent with the right amount of 'bite'. Other favourites: the deep fried whole flounder, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Indeed, the grilled squid must be the best in Auckland! The pork or chicken Katsu Don with homemade sauce is truly original and highly recommended. Best!

One of my favourite restaurants in town. Cheap, excellent food (generous portions) and good service. Really sad though, that they had to shut down due to the earthquake. :( Really hoping they'll reopen and I'll be back there for sure!
