a year agoThe place is absolutely lovely! The new manager is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the new Japanese chef is amazing. The sushi rice was perfect, and the vegetables and fried prawns in my tempura udon were cooked perfectly - hot, crispy, and delicious. I'm so happy to have an authentic Japanese chef making delicious food in Papamoa!

11 months agoBeen meaning to try this for awhile as they’re not too far from home. Cheese hotdog was fab. Udon hit the spot. A good variety of food and loved being able to pre schedule pick up so I didn’t have to worry about dinner. The chicken katsu was nice but would recommend eating it straight away as it did get a bit soggy and changed the texture but loved how they cover the top of the bowls with plastic and then used the lid to keep from spilling.
