Nice Japanese place. I liked being able to sit at the bar and see the food being prepared in front of you.
Ordered karaage chicken, and pork belly main. I felt that the pricing is too high for what you get, considering main meal didn't come with any rice or veges, which have to be purchased separately. Almost $30 for just a main is getting to high end prices, and it certainly doesn't feel as if it fits that category.
But lovely tasty food, and good service.
I came here for lunch a few Saturdays ago and was very happy with the Blue Water Bento.
While I don’t normally spend $29 on lunch, it came with a lot of different things I was craving: sushi, sashimi, teriyaki scallops, crumb-fried fish and prawn, and seaweed salad. On top of all that, miso soup, rice, salad, and edamame beans were included. I did feel the portions of the proteins were a bit small, but I think it’s just because seafood costs more.
Overall, I’m happy to recommend Tokyo Club and am looking forward to coming back. It’s cool sitting by the bar with the chefs cooking in front of you, and the service was friendly too. Menu-wise, they have a pretty decent range. I noticed they don’t do ramen – probably because Chop Chop next door specialises in that – so next time I’d probably try a donburi.
Came in for a small platter and it was amazing! The chicken karage was crispy and juicy, a great dish for a beer! Would love to return to try a full dish.
Service and prompt and staff members are friendly.
I work in the city so during weekends we rarely visit the place as I want to have a change of scenery away from the busy CBD until one time we passed by after visiting a place out of town and it happened to be lunch time. Ponsonby is one of the outer suburbs of the Auckland CBD and it is popular for its boutique shops as well as dining and cafes, it was a long time since I passed this place, so long when we went here several weeks ago there are a lot of establishments new to our eyes.
Can't ever ho wrong with a glass of asahi tap beer and karaage @tokyoclubnz 😊 Crispy succulent chicken sprinkled with lemon and dipped in mayo and beer to wash it all down 🤤
Love Love Loved it here so much !!! The service is so good and even when i booked our table over the phone the lady that worked here was super kind and attentive. The food here is the best japanese i’ve had by far. All the food looks really nice and presentable and was so happy with how fast it got here, as we’d ordered quite a lot of different plates and they all got to our table within 15 minutes. Even though the ambience is quite small, very happy with how it’s themed, well decorated and well spaced. My favourite japanese restaurant in auckland ! Highly recommend !
Ordered the Dinner Boxes, found that it was really really good, portion size was considerable with the price of it. Nice decor and really warm welcome and service by the waiting staff. Will visit again next time and order something different.
Great lunch spot. Recommend the teriyaki salmon on rice and the tuna or salmon hand roll. The teriyaki sauce is 👌 and could just eat that alone with rice. The eggplant is decent too.
Ambience is lovely. Food was great, and large portions too! Definitely get the bento box, although I wouldn’t order the nigiri again just because I feel like it lacked flavour and was a tad bit boring (all raw fish and whatnot), but that’s just my personal preference! 💓 Service was great apart from the fact that they charged us for sparkling water without us even asking for it 🧐 In my opinion, Tokyo club is above average but there are better Japanese restaurants. :))
Dinner boxes are great value and offers a lot on the plate. Flavours are decent. Dumplings and takoyaki balls weren’t hot enough in the box, and beef tataki should be thinner. Overall great dinner for a weekday night!
The food was delicious and people were friendly. I wanted to try Bento Box but I do not eat beef or pork. As the menu had beef and pork included in all options except the vegan one, was disappointed to not try it.
Lovely dinner experience cosy well lite area, attentive service but not intrusive. Gorgeous Bento box we had the grill and tapsa tasting boxes.
The food was amazing! We got the dumplings and teriyaki chicken. We sat outside by the fire and it kept us nice and warm! I definitely recommend checking this place out.
Lovely spot with some open seats at the kitchen side and a cosy space with more tables tucked away for more privacy.
Friendly welcome and immediately given eater and the menus. Quick service and delicious food!!
Bento boxes are delectable, although maybe a little pricey, but the flavoirs don't disappoint!
Succulent sushi, gorgeous gyōza, fresh fantastic Japanese cuisine 🍱🍶 There seems to always be a queue and it's no wonder - the katsu crumb was crunchy, the slices of sashimi melted in the mouth and the miso was the best I've had in years. 🍻 The pitchers of beer are pleasingly massive and the warm sake goes down a treat. It's a great date night spot - tucked away down a vibrant foodie alleyway under bent bamboo it feels like a sexy secret. Highly recommended the seafood 'Blue water' bento. We shared one bento and one gyōza between two and we could barely finish it! 🤤
Definitely worth a visit! The bento boxes are a great way to try lots of things and are the perfect amount to fill you up! The kumara was a little bland unfortunately. Lovely service.
Great little hangout place with good food and service. I loved the bento box and eggplant
Cosy place to eat situated in a busy dining quarter. Great people watching. Delicious food and great drinks selection. Wonderful friendly service. Ate here with partner and adult daughter, we were happy with everything. Parking is not the easiest but plenty of side streets and an easy walk. I definitely recommend stopping in here. No booking required, we got in straight away on a Tuesday.
Ordered the ginger pork and teriyaki chicken with steamed rice and miso soup , was really really good. For its price it was well worth it. Staff were really friendly and accommodating and food came out really quickly. The outdoor dining is nice too - would definitely recommend for a nice sit down dinner that isn’t too formal but still has high quality food.
We ended up coming here as the restaurant we wanted to go to was randomly closed. Honestly my expectations weren’t too high at first but I ended up really enjoying it!
The sashimi was really good, and the bento boxes also gave a lot of variety of things to try.
The staff were really kind and service was good even though it was fairly busy.
My only complaint would be that the tables are quite small and it was really tricky to fit everything we ordered onto one table but luckily the table next to us ended up freeing up so we could use it also.
