The sushi here is exceptional. I dined in for lunch, and the price per person was quite reasonable, ranging from NZ$10 to NZ$20. I would rate the food a solid 5 out of 5 and the service also a perfect 5. The atmosphere, however, was a bit average, scoring a 3.

The sushi and udon bowls are excellent, with outstanding flavors. Service was top-notch. I dined in for lunch, and the price per person was between NZ$10–20. I would rate the food a 5 out of 5, the service a 5 as well, and the atmosphere a solid 4. I highly recommend the Salmon Sushi and Bulgogi!
