This place was the beginning of my Japanese food journey.
Service: 6/10
There’s not much to say about the service.
The workers were polite and serviceable. The food was served in a decent amount of time and they were helpful whenever we called for them.
Food: 7/10
I ordered the spider roll, fish teppan udon and unagi teriyaki set.
The spider roll had a really crunchy filling and the sauce made it a little spicy.
The fish teppan was tender and the udon was very chewy.
The unagi was perfectly cooked and coated thoroughly in teriyaki sauce.
The portions of the sets were also worth its price.
Ambiance: 8/10
The whole place looks like one of the most traditional Japanese restaurants I’ve seen in Auckland.
It has an old wooden theme with Japanese posters and decorations stuck on all of the walls.
The store is a little small so it can be a little tight on the space.
This place may not be the most authentic but it’s holds sentimental value...and it’s pretty cheap.
I guess I told a lot of times already that this is one of our favourite restaurants, it is one of our usual go to places when we are lazy to cook something at home. The food is nice and the price is quite reasonable especially during lunch where the bento boxes are almost half the price. I think I am not the only one who loves them in fact it has a lot of good reviews just have a look hereor here.
Can't believe I forgot how good this place was. Fantastic service, speedy arrival delicious food, and best of all, only $11 for the chicken bento. Can't argue with a variety of delicious food.
The beef Bento and chicken bento were both fantastic, and my only constructive feedback would be including other vegetables in the salad as there was too much cabbage.
Oh, and their tea cups are magical - somehow our green tea didn't go cold even by the end of the meal!
Absolutely love this cute little Japanese restaurant. I do miss their Takapuna branch but the Wairau branch does exactly the same job.
Food is always fresh, service is fantastic and you never feel out of place. Everything is so familiar with what you expect from fast Japanese food and Japanese hospitality.
Highly recommend.

Nice little Japanese restaurant in the heart of Wairau Valley.
We came here on a Monday afternoon and the place was half packed. Service was quick and the food did not disappoint either.

This WAS our favourite japanese restaurant for more than 10 years!
5 stars everytime we went!
Then owner changed 2017, the portions got smaller, the chefs didn't greet you with the welcome yell, the waiters stopped smiling, the service got worst, the menu changed, the price went up so...we stopped going! ☹
Went 01Mar2020, Owner changed, quality & service improved!
Had the tofu teriyaki & it was so soft & was amazing! However, the sashimi wasn’t as fresh as it could have been. The tempura was really crunchy which I also recommend.
Enjoyed lunch here really good price for what you get however the girl with glasses was quiet rude. When you enter a restaurant you would be greeted with smile and food served friendly but not today.
One of my favourite Japanese places on the north shore of Auckland!!! Food is really quick to arrive, complimentary edamame, lovely service. The dinner box is a must have - salad, tempura, crumbed meat, teriyaki meat, and the best part is it comes with a butt load of sashimi included.
Love the food and ambience. They were able to accommodate us even if we didnt have a reservation.. though we were overcharge for $14.90.. we realized it when we got home. Would still eat here but will double check the bill next time..yumm food and fast serving too!
Food was delish. We ordered and the starter arrived in what felt like 2 mins at most and main shortly after.
We were looking for a Japanese restaurant in Albany and tried Narita, such a great restaurant with great, traditional Japanese food and really great service. Highly recommend them and will come back again. 😊
Took my partner out for birthday dinner, loved everything about it. Food was very well prepared and served, lovely staff, beautiful meal. I will be back for sure :)
Wonderful service and great food. Thoroughly enjoyed. So yummy.
First time visiting for lunch (not busy, workday, 3 people), enjoyed the atmosphere, service & food. Fairly reasonable prices & enjoyed the Narita sigtanure Bento - fish, chicken & beef. The fish was the surprise winner. Also enjoyed Karaage & Squid.
Second visit for dinner (not busy, weeknight, 2 people), Fish Bento wasn't as good but bento box still good value & tasty overall. Had a yummy chicken set, which was very tasty (arrived in a hot cast iron dish), and would have again. The white fish sashimi "side" wasn't super tasty, but ok with soy & wasabi. Definitely enjoyed the salmon more 🍣 Miso was a little plain & not very hot, so it went cold quickly. Could have done with some spring onions in it to be a little tastier. Icecream scoop came w one set we ordered (which was a surprise) - it was a cutely presented restrained portion 🍨 - not that much was needed, as we were full!
Honestly it's excellent at the price range. Have types of food for my $28.9 fish Benton. It was a surprise it even contains dessert.
A nice place for a casual meet or family dinner
I feel like in a tokyo.
Food and sake was great for me and service also pretty good.
I was shocked cause of fresh sashimi 🥳🥳
The overall experience we had during dinner time is wonderful and amazing!
Place was clean, and the food was PERFECT! SO FRESH AND ORIGINAL JAPANESE TASTE!
We will definitely come and eat there next time!
There were many guests, but I ate delicious food with a nice interior in a quiet atmosphere.
Busy little place,it has limited tables available and takeaways are also an option. Sushi. Katsubi and other Japanese styled foods are available. Service is quick and efficient. There is a 2%surcharge for paying by credit card. Parking in the complex is limited so you may have to park across the road and walk over during peak times. Beer and wine is available also as well as soft drinks and tea.
