★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Found this lively Japanese Sake/tapas place nestled off dominion road.
It has a nice homely feel to it, staff are polite and attentive. The chef and kitchen staff know how to make their menu, which I recommend just trying off their different appetizer items, great to share around.
We absolutely loved their miso soup (some of the best ive had in Auckland yet), hot sake went down well with salt and pepper squid which just melted into your mouth. They also brought out dishes as we ate them so everything was hot and freshly made. The dumplings had a nice light pastry and good filling, also tried the melted salmon nigiri which really did just melt in your mouth.
For dessert we tried the bean paste pancakes and green tea tiramisu. Both were a great way to end the meal. The pancakes came with green tea ice cream that wasn't over the top with green tea flavour and matched well.
All in all my sister and I were very pleased to find this place. This is definitely going to be our go to place for catch ups.
Hats off to you guys at Banzai!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We really wanted to have sushi today and were running late but the staff are so kind, they took our order before closing time and helped us out. The artistic work inside is spectacular and Beautiful to just stare. Love this place & Simply Amazing Food. Completely worth the drive down here.
We Tried Gyoza Pork Dumplings, Samocado and TunaCado Sushi Rolls. Yummmmmm!! Highly recommend this place. Thank you Team for your Hard Work ??and Delicious Food ???

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ordered spicy pork lamen and it came at the right spiceness, not too much and not that little. I like the space, harmonically decorated, with an authentic Japanese chef and full Japanese speaking staff. Few parking spots, so arrive early if you want to park within its premises. I guess the chef is very good on sushi and alike, so I should go for them next time. Worth coming !

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not satisfied at all. I ordered the spicy garlic chicken udon noodles. The attendant came back to me saying they didn't have udon noodles and I could swap for soba noodles. I agreed. Then when the actual dish was served, it had neither garlic nor spicy. The only flavour I could taste was salt. Utter disappointment. I even reconfirmed if they had served the right dish to me, it was that bland. I wouldn't go back to this restaurant.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Have been coming here for years! Would highly recommend the Teriyaki, Japanese Curry and Katsu Chicken. The Sashimi Salmon and Tuna are also excellent options. The restaurant is casual but has a nice ambience, it can accomodate for larger groups too - I have come in the past with a group of 11. It can get quite busy so I would recommend booking a table ahead of time. Banzai is also BYO wine, and it likely one of the nicest BYO places on Dom Road. The prices are also reasonable with all their mains between $15-20.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well it was definitely one of my best sushi experiences in Auckland so far! Absolutely loved melted salmon sushi-yuuum and salad was just nothing else to add. It was a little bit long wait though, which was definitely worth it!
Will absolutely for sure return back to try other menu options.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've been going to Banzai every couple of months for longer than I can remember and have never had a less than stellar experience. It's a small but cozy little restaurant with a great team running it and really nice atmosphere.
Every dish has something special to it, a little pop of flavour that stands out amongst the many other restaurants and keeps me coming back, not to mention the solid collection of fantastic Sake.
Parking can be a bit tough as it is in the central food hub of Dominion Rd but there's a big carpark across the road that I've never found to be too busy.
If you haven't been I would certainly recommend adding it to your list!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The food here is so amazing. The sashimi salad is really fresh and the spicy prawn udon is of great taste. Feeling so satisfied afterwards. Will definitely come back again trying some other dishes?
