Great food overall, but $10 for half an eggplant was steep. Was very very yum but based on the photo on the menu I was expecting either a bowl full of eggplant or a whole one! Was also extremely loud with people literally screaming and no comment from staff
Everything was delicious. If you crave yakitori, this place will not disappoint. Especially with ample parking nearby, and convenient location.
It's too hard to describe every dish because I ordered about 16 of them, but you won't go wrong with pretty much anything here.
Went for a BYO last night and the food was really good. Happy to see a good vegetarian/vegan selection for friends too.
The food does take time to come out and just comes out as individual dishes rather than aiming to serve together - so definitely would recommend sharing rather than getting your own food.
I tried the chilli chicken and the salmon avocado sushi. Both were delicious and would really recommend the dishes. I also tried the vegetarian yakisoba which was good. Would definitely recommend coming here.
Corkage is decently expensive at $7 a bottle so many cheaper places to go, but the food is good and the atmosphere is great too. Good job on the staff dealing with all of the loud diners.
This is our fave Japanese place in Auckland to visit, food is always great and service is usually pretty good! Love that it’s a BYO, but be aware that due to this it is a loud environment and often makes dinner conversations difficult
Nishiki is a popular Auckland Japanese restaurant which is more than often very packed. The food is impressive and comes pretty fast. The atmosphere is good if you like being in a bustling and lively environment. You can order your food via their iPads which has both positives and negatives. One of my favourite Japanese restaurants.
Overall, food was very satisfactory. The portions sizes were good. There is a tablet at each table which makes it a lot easier for customers to order food. The food is on the expensive side but worth it!
Tried the Freemans Bay branch, after a bad service at the Highland park branch (which used to be good prior to the ownership change), and I’m so glad we did. This place is fantastic. Will definitely visit here more regularly.
Came here for a friend's birthday and I was so happy with my choose of food. I got the seafood pancake type thing and I so wanted another one. Great byo place

We came as a large group and booked beforehand. Some of us arrived early (about 15 minutes) but was told that we should come back at the booked time as the tables weren't ready yet.
We were seated outside and the first thing you notice are the screens on the table. These screens are the menu and ordering system for the place. You pick what you want and put your order through and then it gets delivered to your table. It was very dangerous since it was very easy to just order everything and end up with a massive bill. Most things are under $20 so it isn't too expensive but remember it does add up. There is a tab on the screen where you can check what you've ordered and the current size of the tab. They had a seasonal duck menu on which had really tempting items on it.
The food was quite nice. I enjoyed everything that came out. The duck kamameshi was really interesting, duck and rice cooked in a little hotpot. The pork karaage was also quite flavourful and juicy. I would recommend getting rice to help fill you up otherwise the bill could get really big really fast.
Food is good, however, portions can be small compared with other Japanese restaurants. By the time you are full, you can spend almost $50+ . . .
Price and portion are both reasonable, and the food was excellent. Food was served a little slow but that makes sense considering how busy they were. Recommended!!
A lovely place to come as a group or as a couple. The menu is all on a tablet at the table that allows you to see what you've ordered and how much you've spent. Photos of all items including drink 🍷.
7th November, 2019: The family had a birthday dinner here, To celebrate the wife’s birthday. We had to really booked a place in advance because this is a very popular Japanese restaurant in Auckland, New Zealand.
Food serve in reasonable time frame and they are yummy too!
Ample of seating available plus dine tables outside the restaurant. Parking is available but you better park off the nearby street.
The chefs are Japanese and the service are very professional too!
We highly recommend this restaurant to all visitors to Auckland, New Zealand.
Absolutely awesome robata-yaki bar in the heart of Freemans Bay with some of the best Japanese food in Auckland. It’s best to share and choose a number of dishes. Ordering is by iPad and the dishes are normally delivered pretty quickly except when things get really busy. It’s best to book by phone in advance. And ask to be seated at the bar counter so that you can watch the food being prepared.

Food doesn't look good, but taste very good. Probably it does not suit me so much as its mostly beef and seafood. It does not have many sushi choices like others. BBQ prawn is good. Very interesting ordering system.
Everything was amazing. Ordering by ipad so easy
Always good food. Now you can order with ipad a your table hence faster experience. But you are limited to 1.5 hour
Excellent place to have a fan-tas-tic meal. Either for an anniversary celebration, a client dinner or just for a great Saturday night family take-out meal, Takero-san will go the extra mile to exceed all your expectations. If you are looking for a genuine (incredibly tasty) Japanese meal and a fantastic experience, give this place a try and I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed.
Takerso-san, thank you so much for the meals you have prepared for us, I'm sure we will be back very soon
Fantastic fresh delicious food and great service.
