I had a very yummy, plentiful feed here and the prices are great. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The service was very fast, just what I wanted. The perfect place to go for someone looking for a quick feed.
Tried my first ever poke bowl here! Got the teriyaki tofu poke bowl and man was I pleased. I really loved the raw combination of the vegetables and rice and the price and portion were decent. I asked for more sauce, and they gave me a little dish with extra. It was a clean tasting sesame mayo sauce which was a good accompaniment to the bowl.

Dined in at this restaurant while we were down in Dunedin last weekend. First impression was it was quite cosy & the staff were very attentive & friendly. Their menu was extensive & it took us awhile to choose our orders. We settled for the couples platter & chicken kaarage for entree. The kaarage was quite a let down - for the price we paid we felt the overall plate was quite small & accompanying dipping sauce was bland & flavourless. The couples platter was a bit more appetising. The calamari was the best I've had in a while, crisp batter & fresh squid ring you could tell it was cooked freshly. The springs rolls were nice also as were the other nibbles but the calamari was def. the highlight of the dish. For mains we ordered a chicken bento & pork hot plate dish. The pork hot plate was nice, the sauce was a bit sweet but accompanied well with the pork. The sauce in the teriyaki chicken was on point, would reccomend. Overall it was a pleasant meal, would agree with other reviews that some of the dishes were a bit expensive but worth the treat.
It is not authentic Japanese restaurant. They don't even use the Japanese rice which are short round grains and has sticky texture. However, the test of the food are fine. The price is not expensive at all especially, the bento set. The atmosphere of the place is not too bad.
I don't know why the reviews on here are so negative; I plug it on being that it's been a while.
I went for lunch a couple of days ago, taking advantage of the $11.50 lunch special, which is any of the dishes on the menu and a bowl of miso soup. The soup isn't anything special but the food is good. I had the oyako don - chicken and egg on rice - a large portion, the eggs still soft and not hard and overcooked, and I was able to taste the dashi stock and seasoning. The service was alright, nothing impressive, but definitely far from terrible. The bento is of really decent size, and my sister had a tonkatsu don, which she said was a bit dry and chewy, but few complaints otherwise.
The food here is good. Miles better than the highly-rated Jitsu, which I had a few nights ago. This is good value. I would definitely return again.
Wow I came here before checking reviews one day for lunch and surprised to see how the reviews are below. I did have an entirely different experience.
As previously mentioned I came for lunch one day and chose the spicy chicken don from the lunch menu for $11.50. This is somewhat high priced for lunch, considering Auckland you would get a lot more for a lot less, but still reasonable. The bento boxes also looked very good. My friends had also ordered spicy chicken noodles and teriyaki chicken.
The portions were okay sized, felt the amount of chicken was on the lesser side but the taste definitely made up for it. Wasn't at all spicy but had flavour. It was a little bit about average but nothing I found to be that special. The other meals were much the same, nothing too amazing but not bad either.
The service was friendly, but not overbearing which is good. The place itself was extremely empty which was a bit worrying, only 2 other groups.
Will probably return again
Good amount of food compare to the price..

Not many people eating here but I can assure the food is great. Had the bento meal and I was too full. Staff is also nice.
Dont rely on the rating
Had I seen the reviews to this restaurant I may have not gone. Therefore, I am glad that I did not read them before hand. We tried the Teppan Pork and the Chicken Bento Box. The bento box comes with miso soup. It was a very generous portion as it was very filling and delicious, the chicken was full of flavor. The miso soup was one of the best I have ever had. I amnoy sure if it was due to the chili oil I added but could have certainly had more. My husband had the Teppan Pork and really enjoyed it. It was just the right amount of food.
Great meal, full of flavour and beautifully presented. Good size meals, bring your appetite.
Wow, I visited Tokyo Gardens in Dunedin with friends tonight and enjoyed an amazing tepanyaki experience with the new chef.
Was Absolutely Delicious food, very filling!
Also great value for money.
Absolutely loved the atmosphere and the chef at the party group table was very entertaining making jokes and get participating customers to catch small bowls thrown at them and get everyone to laugh. The staff was very friendly and the place has a beautiful decor and theme. The food was fantastic too... will go there again sometime for dinner.
Bought mixed tempura, 4 salmon nigiri and 5 salmon california. Very fresh. High quality. Will definitely order again.
ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! Would 10000% recommend! Staff were absolutely awesome!! So funny! Just had an overall great time. Would go there again!!!
One of the few restaurants you can't go wrong with when dining in or taking out. Both the food and the service does not disappoint.
Pretty good food and the vibe was cool. Not the best food you could ever get but it was still good especially the dumplings.
