Soooo delicious! Miso- yum! Teriyaki chicken-yum! Salad-yum! Dumplings-YUMMY �
We turned up with more than we had booked so tables and benches moved to seat 15 of us altogether, food amazing and not a long wait as we had experience the whole time in Wellington this weekend . Worth a trip hidden jem
My partner and I went today and it’s our first time eating in Arashi. We ordered their soft shell crab, takoyaki, okonomiyaki and teppanyaki beef set. We will definitely go back to this place to try the rest in their menu. 😊
Good atmosphere, good staff, fun and good food with reasonable prices. Really busy on the weekends, great for BYOs. Katsu is really delicious and loaded. Great atmosphere and friendly hosts.
Went here for my wedding anniversary. The service was amazing, chatty staff and great service. The highlight was definitely Teppanyaki Pepper Beef set and dumplings, so tasty and authentic. Highly recommend.
Have been here a few times and it's a great place (and good location) to eat at. The Chicken katsudon is a favourite of mine and would recommend that especially when they have it during their lunch time special. Can get a bit noisy during dinner time on a busy night but that's to be expected at a packed restaurant and on a weekend.
I love Arashi! Always have a good meal here.good atmosphere, a great place for a byo. Have also bought takeaways from here which were great.
I'd been here once before and it was just as good then as it was this time. The tofu,though it seems small at first was deliciously filling. Both times I've had the katsu curry set which I haven't been able to finish. It's really tasty. What I didn't like was that when I asked the difference between katsu don and katsu curry, I was told the katsu don was a katsu don . That didn't help me at all.
Being a byo Friday nights tend to get filled especially with bigger groups.
Went here for dinner and we were only ones there to begin with as they had just opened. The staff were friendly and recommended certain drinks when we asked about the Japanese alcoholic drinks. We also asked for two small plates to be served first and the rest afterwards and they remembered and did that correctly. Decor was cool and food was great! Only downfall was the portions on first sight compared to the price but we ordered quite a lot and I was full at the end. My boyfriends teriyaki beef was so tender too, very nice.
Went with some friends and was seated in the front of the restaurant, sitting on the floor, which was actually really nice. The food was great and was out less than 10 minutes after us ordering it. We got a variety of dishes, and didn't have a bad one. They were all really well cooked, and authentic too. Overall, a really delicious meal, I'd definitely eat here again.
I'm a little bit unsure what rating to give Arashi but I think a 3.5 would be about right. As a group of four we shared a variety of entrees and mains, my favourites being the dumplings, sashimi set and the omu raisu. I also liked the fact that the plates were presented in creative ways. So overall the food was very good and the sparkling wine we ordered made it all the more pleasant.
The only critique I have is that one of the waitresses was a bit abrupt. After our mains we were still finishing off our drinks when one of the waitresses said 'you need to go now'. To be fair they probably were expecting a busy night but it would have been better for them to have advised us of an appropriate time to leave much earlier.

A fantastic evening with my boyfriend at Arashi on a Saturday night. We had been here before and had a less-than-pleasant experience being squeezed in at the back of the restaurant, full of rowdy 10+ BYO groups. However, when making a booking this time I requested to be seated at the front end of the restaurant, and they were very accommodating. We arrived for our 8pm booking and were immediately seated. The waitress gave us the perfect time to look at the menu and was friendly and efficient. We had soy beans, dumplings, octopus dough balls and sirloin skewers to start- all delicious and came out within minutes of each other. We both had set menu mains (sizzling plate, rice, miso, salad), bf had s/h crab and I had squid. All delicious, and came out together. We also had a large hot sake with our BYO wine. My only complaint (a very small one) was that we were very close to the next table- I could have reached out and touched their plates. However this didn't affects experience. All up the evening came to $88, which I was pleasantly surprised with, given the amount and quality of the food. Certainly recommend for groups or a date night- just be sure to request the front end!
I was very sad when they missed an item on my delivery. After I informed them of the error, they were very apologetic and wrote a cute card!! So amazing! 🤩
After all the drama!! The noodles were delivered and they were so yummy!!! 🤤
This restaurant isn't fantastic, but I keep.coming back and have been doing so for nearly 10 years.
Why? The food isn't anything special. At best, it's at the good end of average. The restaurant itself is often very noisy (especially if there are groups - it's popular with groups because they allow BYO), and the staff are busy. On the other hand, service is quick, and the prices are very reasonable. I think that's why I keep coming back. This place is reliable - not great food, but ok, inexpensive and fast.
My favourite restaurant by far! I come here often. The food is so good and well worth the price. Best teriyaki chicken I have ever had. The staff are so friendly and always ensure the customers are happy! Highly recommend.
Went there for lunch. Food was delicious for a good price (17$ /p) and staff very lovely. Don't understand the bad reviews because we had a great experience there !
Okay, Arashi Kushiyaki is honestly one of the best resurants I have been to ever. Great food, lovely people and did I mention great food? Very reasonable prices and a great menu with lots of options for adults and kids. Will visit again in the near future.
Service was delightful. Food unique and wonderful. Especially loved the potatoes croguette and the karaage and the grill salmon and the .... so it goes on. Food is light and fresh tasting. We’ve been a few times and not been disappointed. It can be noisy, but wasn’t this time.
Amazing food. Best in Japanese cuisine in Wellington. Top tier service too. Especially from the young chinese boy.
So I was kind of iffy about this place because of the reviews, but I really wanted to try their VISAWOAP crayfish ramen. Absolutely delicious. At first it was okay but the more I ate, the more I wanted. Broth was top notch. Ramen was cooked nicely with still a bit of chew to it. Service was okay, but looking at the opening times, they probably work 12+ hours a day 7 days a week so I'd feel the same way too.
The food was delicious - we all loved our meals - so good. On the skewers make sure you read carefully if you are getting 1 or 3 because they are mixed up. My friend got one not the three she expected and was annoyed (cuz they are good and you would want more ;) The staff was fine - polite. I had basic teriyaki chicken and rice and miso soup. We brought our own wine - no problem, just small corking fee. It's not cozy but it does have ok ambiance. If the music was chilled and traditional it would have been better. There is I think one table or two with seating on the floor as well.
Delicious. Tasty. Great prices. Quick service. I will definitely go again. Highly recommend
