![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Today was the first time that hubby and I came to dine at Heizo and it was to celebrate our 44th month being married. It was exceptional, they did not disappoint and we cannot wait to go back and dine here again! Please book well in advance as they only have one teppanyaki table and they get very busy because of the wonderful food, service and skilled chef!
Ambiance 5/5 – I’ve never been to Japan, buy hubby has and he said that it is very similar to some Japanese restaurants he’s been in. It’s very authentic he says! I very much enjoyed how intimate and cosy the place is. Loved the interior and the Japanese décor, Lanterns, very cool tapestries by the teppanyaki area and some samurai photos and a sticker on the wall. The mood lighting is lovely and not too dark that I couldn’t see.
Food 5/5 – For tonight, we ordered the “Taste of All” set menu. Our most favourite was the Teppan Prawn Appetizer. Mmmm so creamy! Everything was well seasoned and the food came at a great pace! We didn’t have to wait too long for the food to come out, but it didn’t come too quickly that we couldn’t enjoy our time there. The salmon sashimi was nice and soft. The beef was cooked just right! The Matcha ice cream and vanilla ice cream were great endings for the meal (Add extra for matcha) You’d think at firs that the portions are small but we were nice and full towards the end. In our view, the portions are perfect. The only improvement I can think if is to undercook the Ocean Treasure Salmon Filet slightly so it won’t be too dry, but this is just my personal opinion. Everything else was cooked beautifully!
Staff and Service 5/5 – All staff members we came across were kind and respectful! The gentleman I spoke to on the phone was kind and provided me with the information I needed before booking. The staff members serving us tonight were also very friendly and were all smiles! They were attentive and filled up our waters as soon as it was finished. They checked on us and asked us if we wanted more rice for our seafood and beef. The chef was very talented and enjoyable to watch! We booked too late but we were lucky enough to be seated somewhere near the teppanyaki table. He looked so passionate and bubbly and I honestly felt like I was kind of still part of the show haha. Can’t wait to be seated in front next time. You are awesome, chef!
Thank you to the team at Heizo. You truly made our night and we can’t wait to bring our family over next time. Arigatou Gozaimasu!

I never tasted so delicious meat the very meal so soft and especially parws so yumm good
Friendly owners, always feel very welcome. Food is great, always fresh and delicious. Yum yum sauce is very yummy and always able to get more. Excellent place to hang out.
Happened upon this beautiful, family run restaurant. Really intimate dining experience. Delicious food, and really great value for money. Definitely coming back with more friends and family! Favourite place!
This place would be the go-to spot for decent, authentic Japanese teppanyaki without breaking the bank. Their set menu portions were generous and the chef was extremely amazing to watch - he was cooking alone for the entire restaurant but managed to make sure all the meals were still delicious and cooked to perfection.
Possibly one of the best teppanyaki place in Auckland. Staff are very polite and professional. Authentic experience with scrumptious food. Would recommend.
Food was delicious. We ordered scotch fillet steak set and fish fillets set; both were tasty. Loved their yum yum prawns appetizer which was included in the set menu, so good!
Friendly staff and great customer service:) will come here again.
Transitional Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant, small and cute one. Polite and friendly waitress & nice and professional chef. Scotch fillet is juicy and tender, set menu can keep u a healthier way of eating, salad and miso soup is light and yummy! I’ve been here for several times, and always recommend it to my friends.
Lovely restaurant with great service. The steak was good with the Japanese sauce and the ingredients were fresh😊 We were super hungry and the food came out fast. Good place for lunch. It was a bit hot inside though.
This has to be a new market best kept secret. The food is divine. So fresh and absolutely cooked with love. The staff remember our drinks order and what we don't like and we never have to ask for a ginger sauce refill. The staff are fantastic and friendly. I highly recommend the "taste of all", a little of everything is just perfect.
Absolutely wonderful meal and an amazing and talented chef cooking it freshly for us! The food was cooked to perfection and I could tell everyone in my group enjoyed the dinner.
I genuinely cannot express how much I loved the food. It was so delicious and something I wish i could have every day. There’s a wonderful variety of dishes, suitable for many. Perfect seasonings and delicious flavour.
The staff were so friendly, welcomed us, and thanked us. They were very accommodating to us and we felt very comfortable with them serving us our dishes.
The atmosphere is small, but very cosy, perfect to leave the cold for a while. It’s very welcoming and has a homely feel, as well as a “show” feel.

Would always give this place a 5 star. Went there today for my favorite lunch set which is the Hamburg Teppanyaki. Same lovely taste. Same lovely service. Same lovely authenticity. And the food the doesn't cost the Earth. Try their lunch sets. Outstanding value. Would recommend though they light up the place a bit more. Could be very dark.
My new favourite restaurant! Food is amazing and authentic, the chef is very highly skilled and great to chat with while cooking our meals in front of us, the staff were brilliant and very attentive and the atmosphere is wonderfully cosy, almost like being welcomed into a very close friends home. Not knowing what to order, we decided to try the 'Taste of All' set menu for two and we were not disappointed! Every menu item served was succulent, tender and cooked to perfection according to our own personal preference. We left full, but not uncomfortably too full and already talking about when we will return before even getting to our car. Pricing was amazing value (2 x adults (menu for two) + 2 x children (kids menu items), including 4 x desserts + 2 alcoholic beverages each (adults only!) = $195. We loved it and looking forward to going back soon!
Enjoyed a birthday dinner with friends. Delicious food and excellent service! There were a lot of options for dinner that would cater to different hunger levels. They also have a "taste of all" option ehere you get to try a little bit of all the mains - good option for people who like variety. The yum yum prawns were my favorite!
We brought a cake to surprise our friend and they were so nice about keeping it in the fridge and serving it. They even switched the light off and added a candle so we could surprise him.
Tried to go to Daikoku, instead went here and was the best decision. Amazing experience, from food, nice staff, and exceptional service. Recommended for an intimate and cozy experience. 10/10.
A truly Japanese experience. This restaurant is the closest we found in Auckland to the small-town eateries we remember from our holidays in Japan. And the couple running it are great. The food cooked in front of you is delicious. Good selection of sake.
If you want an authentic Japanese experience, you can't beat this place! The experience was intimate and cozy, it really felt like I had just finished a 12 hour day in Tokyo and moved on to my local japanese restaurant to eat. It's only when you step outside you realize you're in Auckland. The Japanese language around you from wait staff and the chef, to the smoky grill, to the ambience, it all screams Japanese culture in the lost inviting way. You MUST try this for sure :)
P.s the food was also amazing, but what really wowed me was the atmosphere 🙌
Really beautiful food! Carefully prepared and friendly staff. Good value - salad yummy and prawns with yum yum sauce super good!! You HAVE to try the ice cream and roasted banana dessert with teppanyaki caramel!! Probably best to book. We'll be back!!
Easily the best Japanese restaurant in Auckland.
I ordered a sirloin steak and prawns, which was excellent and tender (MUST try the yum yum sauce).
The restaurant was packed during dinnertime, so I suggest reserving a table beforehand.
The price might seem too much, but it was worth every penny.
The staffs and chef were also very friendly and polite.
Overall, it was one of the best restaurants to visit in Auckland.
