Ebisu - Auckland

Very friendly servicefresh and delicious japanese foodvery recommended for sushi and japanese food lover

I’m getting the hang of this degustation dining, we had it sometime back in Masu now we are trying Ebisu, definitely there are much more to come, so watch this space as I want to try what is the best one in Auckland, but we have to do this slowly, first because it’s quite pricey at the same time we will get fat quick if we do this on a regular basis.

Had traditional set menu $85. The food was great and delicious especially really loved the rolls. Everything was above the average, but we have just started having food without asking for any drink, so had to order drink after food was served, felt kind of rush. Plating was not really good, it could have been better especially for karaage serving in the bowl, didnt even know what it was at first. The waiter was so shy he told us what if was for every dish but we can hardly hear him. Feeling more likely to be an Izakaya not a fine dining even though you pay $250 for two people with a few drinks. I would definitely come back for a drink with a few dishes not for dining. Also one last thing I would suggest is to put less truffles in meat dishes, you can only taste truffles not meats and sauces. Except for these, everything was good.

Good modern Japanese cuisine set in a cool space by the viaduct. Will definitely comeback next time! Love their chicken teriyaki.

This is one of those restaurants I will come to time and time again a solid 5 star in my books. Beautiful location and ambiance perfect for a date night, work dinner or a family event. Sometimes I even come here solo just for the sushi and sake and to watch a movie on my phone.<br/ <br/ If you haven’t been here before, the staff are patient, friendly and knowledgeable about the food and go out of their way to ensure you have a great evening. The alcohol selection is great and the cocktails are divine.<br/ <br/ The food... consistently delicious! A simple staple of mine is the cabbage salad it’s light and crispy, flavoursome and refreshing. A perfect accompaniment to any meal. The nigiri and sashimi selections here are exceptional in taste, variety and presentation. The main meat dishes are all pretty good as well and if you’re like me and have eyes bigger than your stomach, you’re more than welcome to a takeaway container. Last time I took home leftover pork belly and used it in ramen the next day!
