Tanuki Japanese Auckland City

The food at this restaurant was fantastic - everything was very fresh and the prices were reasonable. It's a great place for a nice night out.

Worst sashimi presentation for $43 with dry bean sprouts which was overpriced. I wasn't expecting anything extravagant.The waiter couldn't wait to clear the table, which wasn't appropriate etiquette for a very well-established and it was extremely disappointing as I had been here many times. The online menus are out of date, and the price has gone up, which is fine, but please update your website as well! We ordered sashimi, but the main courses arrived first, followed by the sashimi.

Looking for an authentic Japanese meal in the cbd? Don’t go here- Whilst this restaurant presents as a nice middle range dining experience, the food is overpriced, disappointing and uneventful. Upon coming here you will be created by tiny portions of mediocre food at high end prices. I ordered the teriyaki salmon for $28 dollars which sounded reasonably priced on the menu. However when it arrived I was presented with a piece and a half of frozen tasting salmon slapped in a pool of salty teriyaki sauce. There was no rice, vegetables or even any small garnishes accompanying the dish. The whole experience was very disappointing and left a lot to be desired. The Japanese takeaway I go to is better than here and a fraction of the price.

The food at this restaurant is fantastic. I ordered the hotplate of sashimi, which was a bit pricey but definitely worth it. The five types of fish we were served were exceptional, and the presentation was beautiful. The atmosphere was great and made me feel like I was in Japan. I also had green tea for drinks, which could have had a bit more flavor, but overall everything was of high quality. The chefs and waitstaff were very helpful as well.

Wonderful dining experience at this restaurant! My son brought me here and I absolutely loved it. The service was excellent and I particularly enjoyed the Klempner wine. I am looking forward to returning soon to try more of their delicious dishes and drinks. Thank you to the staff for the great atmosphere and top-notch service, and for the amazing items on the menu!
