Sakebar Nippon Takapuna - Auckland

Authentic Japanese sake bar, the staff service super friendly, the drum beats to welcome guests was interesting, waiter and waitress also dressed up in cartoon costume makes the atmosphere lively and fun

Cute little restaurant in the heart of Takapuna. Love the ambience and really does give you that Sake bar feel. There was plenty of variety on the menu. We ordered the steak which came on a sizzlling plate, great flavours and perfectly cooked. The sashimi was really fresh too. Katsu Chicken and Takoyaki balls were beautiful and great value for money. Friendly and fast service too. It was my second time coming here but would definitely make a third trip soon!

Wonderfully warm atmosphere, fabulous food, very reasonably priced, attentive friendly staff, LOVED LOVED it. We will be back.

Absolutely amazing food, yummy and very prompt. Friendly staff and very welcoming. Limited options for wine.

I always lived in Northshore but funny how I’ve never been to this restaurant, so we dined here on a Saturday night. Because we didn’t make a reservation, we were seated at the bar table, but it was okay because we always sit next to each other anyway. <br/ <br/ The atmosphere was good but gets quite loud when the staff bash on the drum and chant something. I think it’s their custom to do it to welcome customers coming into the restaurant.<br/ <br/ The service was excellent, and food was delicious too. I recommend scallops and okonomiyaki and prawn with hot sake.<br/ <br/
