We ordered a teriyaki chicken udon, a teriyaki chicken fried rice, and some crispy chicken rolls to share. Everything we ordered was SO good...and the quality of the food is outstanding. They exceeded all of our expectations. Service was very good and the staff was attentive to our needs. I would recommend that if you are in the area and craving Japanese food, stop in. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

The orders come with free miso soup ( yay free) and it's pretty good too, which is a super bonus. There are also a lot of hot asian foods available that are on offer like spicy ramen, udon, and teriyaki and rice dishes. We ordered the chicken teriyaki bento and pork katsu bento boxes and then also got a couple of one off rolls like the avocado and salmon, katsu roll, shrimp tempura roll and a couple more. All of them were really satisfying and the bento boxes were really generously portioned and good. It was big enough to share with my husband and we really enjoyed them. The bentos included a variety of foods like rice, the teriyaki, a veggie fritter, some sushi rolls, among some other foods we were able to try. The manager told us that the bentos change seasonally and in the summer they have fresh fruit and salads too. The owners were really friendly and had great service. I would definitely recommend a visit if you are in the area or even a bit away. We drove by from Tauranga and it was worth the drive.

We ordered from the east to see photo descriptions on the menu. We ordered the Spicy Udon Noodle Stir Fry with Chicken, and the Ramen with Pork/Chive Dumplings! Both were so delicious, hot, and fresh. The Udon came with rice balls rolled in sesame and nori, and the chicken was perfect and tasty. The Ramen was piping hot, perfectly spicy, and had egg in the broth. The dumplings were very delicious with great scallion flavor. Small fridge of beverages, L&P, sodas, water, and more fruit drinks! They also had made to order sushi for takeaway, and a nice little counter with stools if you prefer to eat in. Would eat here over and over! Go eat here. The owner also told us many great spots to check out in Auckland and marked them on our map for us. What a delight! Thanks so much. 5 Stars doesn't do it justice.

Tried Takoyaki for the first time (octopus) was very nice! We both had Teriyaki salmon and teriyaki eel . Very nice, pretty small portions for a main, but we had dessert so that was fine.

I think it's going to be a tough sell for a gal from Vancouver to rate a sushi place here in…read moreHamilton as much better than 3 stars - but let's just say this place was reasonable :) It's your standard "grab a plate, grab some tongs and pick random stuff" place - except the food items are pretty well labeled here. If you like lots of cooked bits of meat (and some fish) on rice (which appear to be referred to as rolls) - I'd say try this place. It was pretty filling for less than $10 at lunch time. A nice bonus is the table options on the street. Oh and they offer a wakame (bits of seaweed salad) as one of their "on top of the rice" options, which many places I've tried here don't. Recommend trying the tamago as well! A strange thing for me to see is that you can come in for what I can only presume is breakfast sushi (each little roll bit is only $1 each before 10am). Suspect? Maybe. But I bet if you stick to the cooked stuff - you should be good to go.
