They have ample seating for diners so they can accommodate a lot of people and groups would enjoy the spacious layout here. Its located right next to the Amersham Way entrance to Westfield Manukau so there's tonnes of free parking if you're stopping by for a meal before a spot of shopping- nice and convenient! Their miso soup is delicious. I've become accustomed to miso over the past couple of years and Kyoto does one of my favourites. I've tried their katsu and it tastes great; its perfect for someone like me who's not quite ready to go all the way with ramen or anything too out of my element. They also have a good range of entrees, and I'm a little obsessed with their snow peas. Prices at Kyoto are pretty reasonable and you can get a dinner for two with drinks for about $50-$60.

Sashimi - never arrived so can't comment. Service - friendly but oh so slow and in a restaurant that was far from full. Overall very disappointing and not crying out for a repeat visit but as always I'll give it at least one more try just to be sure.

It's good for you; well at least that's what everybody tells me. And you can't argue with everybody! Anyway, Little Asahi Sushi is good choice for a cheap and easy (and healthy) lunch. They have sushi that ranges from $1 a piece, although not a particularly large selection. The quality of the sushi isn't all that amazing, but not bad for the price I guess. The salmon in particular was not so fresh tasting, but some of the other sushi they have is all good. I'm no nutritionist, but if you want to become skinny immediately, then I suggest you eat lots of sushi.

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.

However, the sushi's great - always fresh and tastes as though it's just been made, as opposed to that stuff that's been sitting around so long it's gone hard. They are hugely popular and there can be a bit of a line at lunch, but it's worth queuing for. They also do a range of menu items that you can order, but I haven't tried them, as the sushi is so good!

Since it's a sushi place I'm going to lead with that. The quality of the seafood was excellent. Would recommend if you like raw bar. The rest felt standard to me, not super impressive but not bad. Fried foods were good. The yakitorj was a little too dry. The stir fries were okay. Sushi had huge amounts of rice, but I've noticed this as a New Zealand thing rather than specific to this restaurant. Only weird part was that the sliding door seemed broken or maybe turned off on purpose. Had to be manually operated and many people getting confused going in and out. Hope the fix the door.

The shop itself though has just got better and better over the last few years and now is a really great general supermarket that has bargain prices and exotic products. There's more noodles than anyone could ever want to eat and rice, dried beans and condiments galore. The flavour pastes and fresh produce are my favourites here and there's also a smattering of foodstalls on one side that make Asian snacks; my favourite being the pancakes. I'm also partial to a bit of Plum Wine and this place has it, along with Asian beers etc. And I still just can't help but marvel over all the crazy dried funghi, fish innards and the like that are so foreign to me - I got to say it, these days Auckland has pretty much every curious food ingredient available which can only be a good thing.
