Azabu

I went to Azabu at the Auckland Fish Market for lunch today and lucked in to a great bento box. I had a good look around the fish market first and there are a whole bunch of options to go for but, for me, you can't go wrong with Japanese. I opted for the salmon bento box for NZ$26, with a coke. I was initially disappointed to be told they had no salmon left :-( But then, made really happy to be told that they had replaced the salmon with monk fish :-) What a great substitute to have, you couldn't really have asked for anything better than the king of the sea and they did it real justice; it was delicious. Everything else in the box was great too, including the slaw and slightly pickled cucumber slices. It all went really well together and is well worth the money for what you get.Great food and quick service; awesome!

Japanese Sashimi Bar Ajimi

We dined here after several recommendations. Almost lost in Onehunga's main street, there is plenty of parking once shops are closed. We got there at 6 so although small, there was still plenty of seating. Later, the place was full, and table sharing was the only way to go. Other diners included family groups with kids. Looks like the locals are on to this secret! Menu was extensive, service friendly, prices OK, ambience relaxed (come in your shorts!). We had 4 dishes, for total of $50. We noticed the big special for $39 was very popular, served on a tree-like tray. Food was excellent, tasty, fresh, elegantly presented. Highly recommended.

XOONG

Fun fusion a mix of Japanese & Chinese cuisine XOONG, the newest addition to Auckland’s thriving hospitality hub of Mt Eden Village offers diners contrasting flavours of Asia in a series of captivating dining rooms. Drawing from North East Asian influence

Xoong is conveniently located in Mount Eden village and has become our go-to restaurant for special occasions or with guests visiting Auckland. On every visit the knowledgeable staff have been helpful in explaining the menu of shared plates - small and large. Flavours are Asian and dishes are interesting with liberal use of spice. Stand-out on our most recent visit was the crispy squid. The restaurant has various comfortable eating areas, all of which were fully occupied on a Saturday yet the staff did not seem harassed. My only criticism is that for my personal taste, some of the dishes are rather too oily

Big Fish Eatery

At Big Fish Eatery we take pride in serving a modern take on traditional Pan Asian cuisine. We are inspired by bold Asian flavours, beautiful produce and fresh ingredients to create authentic tantalising dishes. We provide a delivery service to nearby nei

It has been a while since I have been here for lunch and wanted to try it again as it has very good ratings on TA. I looked back on my previous review which basically said the food was disappointing and I found little had changed. We had the $20 set menu starting with the Miso soup. It did not resemble any Miso soup I have ever had an I did not especially enjoy it. The main, chicken teriyaki okay but no rave here either. As far as service goes, you feel you need to wave your arm around to get some service, appreciate that lunchtime is very busy but when you only have an hour times important.Hi John,Thanks for taking the time to once again review us.Sometimes, a concept like ours (being a pan asian eatery) is not for everyone. We take pride in only using the best quality ingredients, transforming them into beautiful dishes from all over east asia (pan asia) while staying true to traditional cooking methods but really showcasing every single amazing ingredient that has been locally sourced. You ordered one of the lunch sets which has been created as an affordable, quick alternative to our regular menu. The miso kimchi soup is a great example as it is more a soup than a drink, packed with tofu, edamame, homemade kimchi and of course miso. Long story short, we’re confident we could find a dish that you would absolutely love, as we have dishes that have a more classical approach. Just have a chat with us next time you’re in and we can recommend something that compliments your palate.
