This was crispy chicken dish was cooked perfectly, sauce was a great a compliment. This is a perfect meal for lunch time.
Seafood Ramen ($18 worth the price and taste) - Requested the chef to make medium spicy. Amazing taste and generous amount of seafood in every bite. Needed to spend decent amount of time chewing, talking with friends, appreciating and enjoying the seafood. Will do visit again next time. Thanks.
The staff are so polite and friendly, and the food is really good. Also tried stir fry vegetarian noodles it was really delicious. Definitely recommend.

Went here for lunch and ordered chicken donburi, big portion and taste good. Worth it for lunch. They also have bento box version with bigger portion for bigger appetite
Usually come here for a quick lunch takeaway. Service friendly enough. Their lunch special chicken donbury is very tasty and portions are good.

Always busy at lunch time and there will most definitely be a queue. Lunch price is cheaper than their dinner price for the same portion. Like getting their chicken or beef bento boxes for lunch, only $16 and you get so much. Katsu, teriyaki, sushi, tempura, rice, miso soup and salad.
I went to elliot stable on tuesday for $10 special. Didnt really have much for vegetarian option so i choose to eat here. The dressing on this donburi is really good. Sesame and mayo are perfect combo. The portion size is just right. I paid $12.50 for this, japanese places would have this kind of donburi for $9 only.
If I could give 6 stars I would. The best restaurant at the stables in my opinion. The chicken don is DIVINE. So are the bento boxes. Great atmosphere. Not too pricey and most of all, delicious and filling! Shout out to the waitresses they are angels
A bit on the pricy side compared to other Japanese places outside the stables, but the service is excellent and the food really good (and well presented). The Miso soup is also really nice.
One of the best Japanese restaurants I've been to. The sashimi don and prawn tempura we had were so good and we loved the presentation. Service was top-notch as well, highly recommend.
Ordered sashimi lunch box for dinner, it was a large portion with fresh fish and crispy salad, overall I enjoyed this dish but the chicken was overly fatty for me and sauce was a bit overcooked/sugary. Teriyaki beef combo with dumplings was very tasty, and the beef quality was very good. The sauce with this dish was also very yummy. Both dishes came with miso.
Located inside Elliott stables food court. Great service and very friendly staff. The food was was really good. Although its price is above average for Japanese restaurant, it is still i think worth the money, as the portions are huge. Honestly, I didn't even finish my plate. I had a katsu curry dinner set, shown in the pics.
One criticism tho, whould appreciate it if the food was warmer when it's served.
My partner and I ordered katsu chicken don and spicy tofu don.
Food was fresh, delicious and huge! Would love to go again!
The Sashimi Don and Tempura were so great. highly recommend. also Sea food Ramen too. Sashimi Donburi is alway fresh and huge. lovely.
This one of my always reliable meals before a film or play. The dinner boxes have variety and make a good option when decision-fatigue sets in after a long day at work. Also, I love having a little bit of this and a little bit of that, all neatly presented in a bento box. The glasses of wine are huge, so good value for $9 (red) or $10 (white). There are a lot of options in Elliott Stables. This place is a good option if you feel like Japanese food and/or decision-fatigue has set in. Oh, you will need to decide whether you want teriyaki chicken or beef for your dinner box.
Really enjoyed our lunch there. Generous portions, well prepared. Good serving of salad alongside the rice and protein. Lunch special is a great deal and the customer service was spectacular. We will be back!! (And I always trust a Japanese restaurant who advises they don't have sashimi - it indicates they have high standards for food quality, which I want in a restaurant!!!!)
Massive portions for their deals for teriyaki and katsu chicken. I have eaten here multiple times and not once have I been disappointed. Located inside Elliott stables, Samurai Restaurant is a go to whenever I'm in the area. While the food does come out a bit slow, I would say it is worth the wait as the food is plenty and tasty. Will definitely return.
Super amazing friendly Staffs and very pleased to have lunch with my little boy. Delicious food and impressed with their extra care for me and my kid. Highly recommend ! Thanks
Very kind and gentle staff with amazing food. Sometimes they give you a surprise with some extra stuff! Totally reccomend. Seems like they've had a few bumps on the road from the previous reviews but definitely a solid option for an affordable meal in Central Auckland.
