Genta Japanese Izakaya - Auckland

Great variety of super delicious dishes. Very popular place. Good selection of Sake and other drinks to choose from.

As you walk in, you inmediately find yourself engrossed in japanese culture. A bustling atmosphere, which brings japan to you. Often quite full, a wait nothing longer than 5 minutes. Food variety is huge. One low point is the time you wait for food. Wish that more staff are available. Staff genuinely want to be there, Drink selection is huge, with sake and beer and wines. As food arrives, you inmediately want to dig in. Food is extremely authentic, portion size is huge. Food definitely worth it. High tech computer system ensures you pay correctly, and they check with you to ensure that order is correct. Sweets available at checkout. Great value. Definitely recommend.

I highly rate this japanese place. Staff are friendly and polite. The food was great and the price is very reasonable. I had the Bento box, seared tuna and 3 pieces of karage chicken for $3! All the food was fresh. I would definitely come back here again.

Great food and service. Loved the decorations and Japanese ambience. I like that it closes very late ! The sound they made with the drums scared me a little bit at times haha but overall great place. Would definitely come again to drink more sparkling sake.

Genta has always been my favorite sake bar to visit for the last few years. Staff changed quite a bit, menu is changed lately, but the food quality remains the same, or even better. Initially tried the place with former colleagues, soon to become very loyal. Only thing has to mention that the service quality had dropped a bit, as the staffs don’t seek to know their menu and intend to forget orders... so keep reminding them lol
