This is a cute place right on Bank street. The food was very nice and the service perfectly fine…read morebut none of it was particularly amazing. That being said the Bulgogi was really nice, but it's a Korean dish? In fact a bunch of the stuff on the menu is Korean so I'm not sure what that means or why but they make pretty good Korean food for a Japanese restaurant. To me I'd probably rather then decide if they want to be a Japanese or Korean restaurant and really do a great job of one or the other. Whangarei seems to have at least one top notch place on both fronts so being just ok on both isn't as solid as being great at one. Just my 2 cents, but that's what these reviews are for, right? :)

Since he said he knew better, he'd prefer we not return again. Which is fine since we wouldn't. He was rude, callous, and unexpectedly defensive. We're not sure what happened here, but he lacked compassion and an ability to accept feedback. Be warned among the many fine reviews. Notice those other reviews are old.

The food is great and the couple that own it are lovely. Wife/chef is Thai and knows what she's doing! Only thing to be aware of is that they don't have booze. But there is a bottle shop a 2min walk away that has the best range of beer I've seen for ages. Lots of craft beer and all sorts. The restaurant is happy for you to byo beer.

I also had a duck basil stir fry and again the flavours were spot on but the duck wasn't sliced well enough so pieces were stuck together making eating it more complicated than necessary. I did eat it all though as it tasted great. I'll try to get back for dinner to see how things go with a more complete meal.
