The place is quite hidden in the middle of Auckland CBD but if you found it would be worth the effort. Nice food here. I love their prawn tempura udon. Yummy
A coworker turned me on to Renkon and I will always be eternally grateful. Always fresh, perfectly cooked, delicious and fast! Best lunch in the CBD.
This place is great! Apart from the limited seating inside and outside, the food is great and the staff are really friendly. I ordered the miso katsu salmon and the portions are great for the price and it comes with a generous amount of cabbage salad and rice.
Would definitely recommend for a quick and delicious lunch in the city, just be aware that the food takes a little while to be made.
Renkon is one of my go to lunch places. It’s a little Japanese place with polite & friendly staffs. They mainly sell donburis (rice bowl dishes). Hefty portions, good price, fresh & nice. I usually go here for takeaway, and I love how they have mini donburis for smaller appetites like mine (not all their donburis have mini versions though). Recommend their Karaage & Sauce Katsu Donburi.
Very good service and the staff we friendly the food was good quality for its price and quick which is good for when I’m at uni. I recommend this place for a quick good quality meal
Dinner at Renkon is always satisfying, large portions and low prices. The Karage Salmon (9.5/10, $12.50) was beautifully cooked, soft and tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. They were super accommodating and swapped the rice for more salad at no extra cost. The Karage chicken (9/10, $12.50) came with lots of chicken and was tender and juicy. Definitely a place I will come often.

Best Japanese Donburi Restaurant in Auckland
Great food, great service! This place has never failed me and the ingredients always taste really fresh.
Perfect for quick lunch or dinner.
Loved the donburi from here.
It’s cheap, fast and filling! They’re also generous with their toppings and I really liked the cooked veges which it comes with:)
I had the teriyaki salmon donburi, really good for $12.50, the portion of salmon is huge. Plenty of sauce too, I often find when ordering donburi at other places that I get down to the rice and it ends up being too dry as there’s not enough sauce for the whole dish. This place had the sauce to rice ratio spot on. My only criticism is that they could do with a few more veges in the dish, perhaps have it as an optional add on. Love that they have outdoor seating in the lane, it’s a really nice vibe siting outside on a weekday evening.
Like how there are tables outside where we can sit and eat. Tried their Sauce Pork Katsu-don. The pork katsu was really crispy and tender. Would love to visit again :)
I loved this restaurant location, it’s at a little street going uphill in the CBD.
I ordered the Udon noodles with chicken Karaage. You can order rice instead of noodles though. It was $16 dollars.
The dish was good, but just average.
I like that they have free hot tea, so you can drink as much as you want.
A small Japanese flavour eating venue, few seats inside plus outdoor arrangements.
Very warm hospitality, cheering vocal in Japanese bringing you to the theme immediately.
Reasonable price for a quick and easy lunch time. Of course you don't compare it with what you can have in Japan, in my view, it's considered good enough.
I ordered the spicy fried chicken rice bowl, with mayonnaise and cabbage salad, not bad
This is my second here and I still love it lots! 💕 very flavourful and value for money. Located in the city center and quite easy to find it. Many veggie options! You won’t regret it.
Love the food options here. You can either have eat in or take out and the food is amazing either way. The town option is only accessible by walking down the alley way but worth the trip. Head in order what you want find a seat and then wait to enjoy the meal. Always comes hot and tastes amazing.
Before leaving NZ I had been a regular since university days and throughout my working life in the CBD. Unbelievably their prices only went up like 50c in the whole decade plus. My fav is the chicken katsu don with extra mayo! The trick to getting through the long lunchtime queues is to place a phone order. The service was always prompt and efficient.
Prices fine, food alright. I like the complimentary tea and water.
Great place for some casual eats in the CBD, my favourite being the chilli beef on rice/udon.
Absolutely delicious katsu curry, and the chicken is so good. You can ask them to bring your food next door to My Bar too. Great place
Tiny little takeaway in the alleyway of high street perfect for rainy day udon 🍜 noodles!!
Would have given a 5 star ⭐️ if the staff gave me udon instead of rice by mistake 😂
Pretty good quick meal. Atmosphere is nice and the prices are pretty good.
