The first time I ever had Japanese food was at Midori and ever since that day I have never looked…read moreback. I have become a Japanese food lover from the Teriyaki chicken to the sashimi,Midori helped me fall in love. The restaurant is very cosy and welcoming with soft background music in the background. This creates a nice, relaxed and calm atmosphere perfect for a date, a catch up or even dinner for one. I had the teriyaki chicken with rice and a glass of their rice wine. The food was fresh and tasty, no bumpy or chewy bits in my rice! The chicken was succulent and well flavoured. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and my only issue was the dessert menu, Midori could do with more dessert options.

There's a great view of the bay from the restaurant, making it a nice place to people watch or the perfect backdrop for a dinner date. My partner really enjoys the udon here and I usually go for the katsu or the one of the hot boxes- the hot boxes in particular are really good. Midori's sushi is pretty popular aswell, which you can order when you're dining in, or take to go- their California rolls are so tasty! I'd suggest trying out one of their entrees too, they've got a good selection at good prices and the portions aren't too big, so you'll still have room for your main meal. Next time you're in Mission Bay I'd try out Midori for a great-tasting meal and great service.

Incredible! We stopped in for dinner around 7pm after a long rainy walk. The owner was the sweetest…read moreman, discussed the menu with us, and made great recommendations. 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.

This is a newer sushi restaurant in Waihi beach. They have a wide variety of ready made sushi that…read moreyou can grab and go or you can order something made to order. 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.

They have an array of fresh sushi, constantly being made - which you'll witness when you walk in. There is a great selection of iced teas in the fridge, and a fantastic variety of all types of sushi. I regularly end up with no two pieces of sushi the same from here, as I am always eager to sample all the different kinds on offer - with deep-fried pieces, your classic, raw tuna, salmon and avocado options, as well as the more glamorous pieces with roe and crab. There is a small heating oven offering a battered selection including spring rolls and prawn katsu also, a regular in my box.

This is our second time here. The first time we came we had tasted them little sushi platters and…read morethe stir fry yakisoba noodles bowl. It was really good, so we decided to order in and we ordered katsu chicken curry extra chicken and the chicken was really fresh and the curry was yum . As for today, my husband ordered his curry katsu chicken again and I ordered garlic chicken. My husband got the same thumbs up for the fresh chicken and the curry. Except for my garlic chicken, the rice was really good but the chicken was a bit dry. My husband devoured his good and finished mine. Then we ordered an yakisoba noodles plate. Now that was really good too. We heard him cooking this dish right after we ordered. This place is really good you will not be disappointed.

I'm a sucker for $5 deals so when I saw sushi boxes for $4, I almost died hahah…read more Came across this gem of an establishment on the infamous K Street just between Queen and Liverpool. Location is prime for students, corporate heads and maybe some daytime boozers. My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this place on our way to inspect an apartment in CBD (I wouldn't recommend it) when we walked pass Nuri Maru and saw the $4 box deals. Whaaaat!? 4 bucks!?! We had about 10-minutes before inspection but I didn't want to miss out on that chicken karaage box or the spam masubi or the assorted salmon sushi. Soooo we detoured right inside. Pretty fun atmosphere you'd come to find at a typical Korean-style sushi restaurant - there was even a giant flat screen TV with K-Pop (Korean Pop) music videos on haha. We paid for our boxes and took a seat when a lovely lady from behind the counter asked if we wanted Miso Soup. I declined at first thinking she was trying to upsell me even after we had already paid. But then I noticed the beautiful sign that read "Free Miso for every $5 purchase" or something like that.. I saw "FREE" "Miso" and "$5" so I that's all I cared about. I quickly retracted my declination and said with conviction "YES!" She asked if we wanted two (one for my gf I guess haha).. Again, I said "YES!" as I nodded my head like an Asian school boy. Everything was surprisingly good for something that's been sitting out for who knows how long. The salmon roll was especially delicious - it had that milky, soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture.. mMMMmMmmM We're definitely coming back again.. maybe tomorrow since we have another inspection in the area hahah

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!

Take a look at the picture because i was shocked at the size of that roll. Otherwise it's fairly standard fair, I would avoid the pre-made food honestly, it did not look super fresh. But good variety of fried foods and noodles as well if you're looking for hot food. Really glad to have a local place in Stonefields.

Delicious sushi at a reasonable price…read more The serving style is very causal. You grab a plate and a serving tong, then you just slide open the glass door to access what sushi you want. Everything is pre-made so it quick and easy. After you pay, you are allowed to go upstairs for a seating area. We just wanted to eat it on the spot so we opt to just stand and eat. It was great! Don't shy away from this sushi stall just because it's pre-made and isn't sit-down style. The flavor and freshness is all there. The next time I see a &Sushi, I would definitely order a few bites to go. They have so many different options to choose from and the ones that we got tasted fresh. I would even say that this is much better than some sit down restaurants I've been to back in the US.

The sushi is displayed on the side of the street, so it is very tempting even if you aren't hungry. You grab a plate (if you decide to dine upstairs) or a to go box and grab whichever piece of sushi you would like. Sometimes, at sushi restaurants, do you ever order one roll and it comes in 6-8 pieces and it's not that great and you just wish you had gotten another roll? Well fear not, at &sushi, you can grab sushi by the piece! The colorful sushi, fresh fish and unique flavors (kimchi sushi) makes this place a fun and delicious experience. We grabbed a plate and ate on the street - you can't get more casual than that! Do yourself a flavor and grab a plate, your favorite pieces of sushi and enjoy. (Then go to Milse right across the street and make your tastebuds dance in delight with their beautiful and scrumptious cakes.)

This can be a struggle for the indecisive among us, but means you can fashion your meal exactly to your liking. They have all the usual combinations but have got a little creative too with the likes of the seafood salad, Tokyo chicken and some tasty vegetarian options. It's fresh, most importantly. No smelly, tangy sushi to leave a foul taste in your mouth. And the best part is that once you've loaded your plate you can sit outside under the trees to enjoy your meal.

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.
