Had a lovely anniversary dinner here recently. We both really like Japanese and degustation menus so were very eager to try eating here.
Its a real mix so less like traditional japanese which was nice and they were able to alter the raw fish for me which i appreciated greatly !!
Some really lovely courses like the prawn and scallop risotto and the 30 textures of veg . I also loved the dessert of creme brulee really reminded me of france.
they have a really good selection of drinks which we took advantage of
I thought the staff were very attentive , friendly and really great for answering all my many food questions
Lovely spot for a special occasion dinner
I had heard good things abou Kazuya and then I went there...... MIND blown!!! This place is amazing, fine dining Japanese food with a twist... it will not disappoint!!
Amazing service and great food. We’ll definitely come back for sure. Thanks to all the staffs and chefs of Kazuya ^_^
I had my birthday dinner with my friend there. Good service, very friendly~ The food is really nice, beef is one of my favorite, really tasty and soft which is just right~ the mochi is also quiet nice, I love sticky texture things~
Very good environment ~
Really enjoyed have dinner here
It is a fantastic journey through Japanese European food.

One of the best places for a degustation in Auckland. Kazuya is renowned for their amazing food and service and they did not disappoint.
Each dish was intricate and the ingredients perfectly matched. The dishes came out without too much delay between plates and the attentive service is world class.
Highly recommend!
Came here for my birthday yesterday and ordered the 10 course deguststion meal with a sparkling sake to start and a warm sake to finish. The food was decent and well seasoned, the whitebait pasta was the highlight of my evening. Service was friendly but not as attentive as I expected it to be for a restaurant of this calibre. It took the waiters ages to notice and clean the crumbs left on the table ( they were there since the second course of the meal) and they only cleaned it just before serving the desserts. Nevertheless, apart from that, I enjoyed my experience with Kazuya.
Superb service, quick meals, extensive drinks list. We had the premium course. Very good overall.
Was a lovely experience. A man thanked us as we left, I think he was the chef perhaps? And gave us a little cake/cookie thing in a little bag. Was a really nice touch! Would be the perfect place to take your date if you want to impress them.
Such nice service and great taste as well. Fanciest Japanese fusion food you can find in Auckland! If you know the chief you will get a special treat (the last pic).✌😉
My best fine dining in Auckland, I highly recommend it.
They serve Japanese-inspired cuisines with high-sense dishes the beautiful presentation of the food is excellent.
All the menus are of course very tasty, but the level of detail in the bread and garnishes is truly astonishing.
First-timers should order the seven-course menu.
One of the best dining experiences Ive had in NZ. The food tasted great but what made it really special was the whole experience and the detail put into the course. You can tell that the chef is very passionate about what he is doing. Food great, service great, interior/environment is clean and honestly the detail put into making the experience really special was really memorable.
Thanks Kazuya team.
The best Japanese food experience we've ever had in Auckland. Delicate, beautiful presentation and amazing flavours to boot. Service is meticulous and friendly. Very reasonable pricing for such a wonderful experience.
This is easily one of the top fine dining restaurants in Auckland. Every dish was fresh, mostly made with local produce, flavour profiles were so on point. We had the premium 7 course and the extra add on (scampi, paua and wagyu) was definitely worth the money. Their signature ‘Texture’ dish was phenomenal and so beautiful to look at. They paced the whole dining experience really well. We never felt like we were waiting too long for the next dish, nor rushed to finish. Service was great, the chef even greeted us out and gave us mini cookies as we headed out. Such a cute finish!
Kazuya was one of the finest dining experiences I’ve ever had. Although the Michelin Guide has not made it’s way to New Zealand/Australia yet, I have no doubt that this would be a contender for one or more stars.
The service was outstanding and staff was very attentive. The food was delicious and the courses were delivered at an excellent pace. The portion sizes varied, felt appropriate for each dish, and together made for a meal that did not leave you hungry or overly full, as some prex fixe menus can.
Of particular note, the wagyu dish was simple yet elegant and may be one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.
I would definitely recommend this as a must-try stop in Auckland!
Kazuya restaurant is the absolute best restaurant. Although the winner of Metro top restaurants changes every year, for me, Kazuya is always number 1.
Many great restaurants are great because of the quality of their food, but but Kazuya stands out because of their creativity on top of the great food. Some restaurants are too creative and ended up with some weird tasting dishes. Kazuya has the right balance, so every dish gives you surprise and joy.
Service is perfect as well, as you would expect from Japanese.
I'm lucky enough to go to Kazuya three times over these years (twice paid by others too!) and their quality is always consistently 5-star. Fancy restaurants are pricey for sure, but it's not just the ingredients themselves. It's the effort the chef put in. Just like a Van Gogh's painting costs more than the paint and the canvas, Kazuya's dishes is the best art your tongue can taste.
World class restaurant right here in Auckland. Definitely one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. A bit on the pricey side but completely worth it. Amazing staff and food. You can see that a lot of thought and expertise goes into each dish. Thank you to the chef and staff.
Well deserved 5 stars. Fine dining that actually is worth the money.
Kazuya really impressed us with their delicious courses and attention to detail. Full of flavour with every bite. Endulge in wonderful surprises to the pallette!
We left very full and happy.
Highly recommended!
Have always been and still is one of the best fine dining experiences in Auckland. They’ve kept the same standard of food quality and service all these years, still serving delicious food with outstanding presentation delivering an outstanding experience. Quite a stand out compared to the move to bistro styled dining in most other restaurants. A real MUST try if you love food.
Kazuya is amazing of course, but this review is for Kozzy Ricebox - the single best takeaway lunch spot in Tāmaki. Perfect, artful, reasonably priced. Thank you x
