Customer Reviews
If I could give 10 stars I would. This place rivals that of high end sushi places in Tokyo. The sushi master is young and friendly and extremely skilled. It's not just sushi: it's an experience. He'll also suggest sake to pair with it and it's always incredible. Small 8-seat counter place, so book in advance. Lunch is the best deal at around 5000 yen for the course, but it fills you up, partly because of the service style of only serving one piece at a time. The rice is perfect. The fish selection is phenomenal and based on seasonal specialties. The ambiance is calm and relaxing but not so serious. Literally everything about this place is perfect. I know other people have already said it but I can confirm: this is the best sushi I've ever had in my life. Oh my god it's amazing.
The ingredients are very fresh, especially the steamed eggs and soup . But I don't really like the bitter and fishy taste of sea urchin, so maybe sea urchin is not in season!
Our top Japanese dining experience in Auckland! The presentation was delicate and beautiful, with flavors that were simply amazing. The service was meticulous and friendly, and the pricing was very reasonable for such a fantastic experience.
Over a number of years we have greatly enjoyed degustation dinners at Kazuya. However we were unaware they offered lunch dining or takeout. Today we enjoyed a fantastic lunch dining quite early at midday. I had the Japanese Wagyu beef rice box (seared both sides), miso soup & thrice-cooked chips with truffled mayo. My partner enjoyed the vegetable Chirashi. We cannot fault the menu & the service. We also had a Burgundian style NZ pinot noir Clos Marguerite from Marlborough - one of the best house glasses of wine I have tasted. Kazuya restaurant is a treasure box - it is such a surprise to find this gastronomic marvel on upper Symonds St. The seating is very well thought out and often you feel as if you are the only people dining there. I was impressed that they remembered my name as I hadn’t made a booking and Chef/Owner Kazuya came out of the kitchen with his beautiful smile to say goodbye. This is an outstanding restaurant and I look forward to eating there again. Top marks!!
