What a hidden gem! Any fan of sushi and Japanese food will love the authenticity and quality here. We were so impressed. Unfortunately the location is very tucked away with little foot traffic. And I’m not sure locals appreciate what they have here! Go and enjoy the best sushi for miles.
Best Japanese food I have seen in Kapiti! I got the katsu rice bowl, and it was so good! the restaurant looks really nice, and the staff were friendly too, I really recommend going here!
The most authentic sushi I tried in the Wellington region (and I tried every place that looked promising. My favorite Sushi Bi now goes to position #2 in the chart).
Rice, nori, fish, appearance - everything is almost like I am back to Sibuya or Tsukiji market. Oh, and they have tamago sushi to die for!
The only downside is that these sushi are a bit more expensive than the others. Still it is a great value for money if you like good quality sushi.
Absolutely the best sushi ever.
Every piece is a package of culinary delight and is exploding with flavour.
Have been here a few times now and every time it is consistently great. The staff are very interactive and helpful.
I have been here quite a few times now and it is always a clean and peaceful place to eat. The food is delicious and fresh with plenty of variety and flavours . Tornado sushi never disappoints us. The service is wonderful, lovely and friendly owners. Best sushi ever 🍣 🍣
The freshest and most delicious sushi and Japanese cuisine in Wellington. Lee is a master, and goes above and beyond for his customers. As a long time customer, going back to his precious restaurants in Wellington CBD, I highly recommend checking out Tornado Sushi, you won't be disappointed.
So fun to experience food that meets and exceeds your hopes. Though only a few reviews existed, they were very positive. As travelers, we have one chance in town to get it right. So pleased to have chosen Tornado this evening.
As things were not too busy, the chef accommodated our special request for a spicy California roll with row. Along with another roll that we invited him to create after suggesting a couple flavor combinations.
The taste was wonderful. Plus, isn’t the sushi presentation just a feast to the eyes? Thanks.
Best sushi in Kapiti. Good, fresh, interesting selection that changes daily. I can't get sushi anywhere else now because it'll never be as good as Tornado.
My daughter and I ate in.
The sushi was absolutely delicious, also had the hand rolled sushi cup. Service was friendly, welcoming and I am looking forward to trying some of the delicious hot dishes featured on the menu.
The group next to us,were so impressed, that they were going to return for an evening meal!
The hospitality shown to us was wonderful. A nice touch was a cup of miso offered to us,.just beautiful. Thank you Tornado, for fabulous food and showing the true meaning of hospitality.
Best Sushi in Kapiti.
Fresh high quality ingredients and hand made as you request.
Nothing else like this that I've found.
The care of the food is matched by the warm hosting.
