Yuzu

We ate a boat in Yuzu! 😂 Opening the door for years of history, it is one of the Must Go in Ponsonby. Small Japanese style venue, but it's actually run by a Korean family. By reading the certificates on the wall, you know the chef has been well trained in terms of the Japanese cooking skills. Great atmosphere, great hospitality, great good this is what you are asking for on a Friday evening!

Just discovered this restaurant tonight - it was EXCELLENT! Food fantastic and brilliant service - great welcome and very attentive. Everything we had was super yummy and came pretty quickly! The salads were really fresh and generous, and lots of Gluten free and vegetarian options. The karage chicken is very crunchy and scrumptious and the sashimi is delicious. Recommend trying the banana tempura dessert with matcha ice cream - soooo good! We'll be back again soon! :-)

Delectable sushi! Perfectly balanced and portioned 🍣 The staff are so lovely - from wait staff to front or house to chefs - all such gems! The food is just incredible. The sake is glug-able! The only issue is that you need to walk behind the front of house desk and right through the kitchen to use the loo. The kitchen is a hallway and you are walking straight through it to get to the customer bathroom. As interesting as this might be for a customer I really feel for the chefs who at any moment might have some random patron sauntering through their workspace. Not at ALL ideal. I think the place needs a proper renovation because that kind of basic kitchen safety negligence is just not acceptable. Everyone in a kitchen should have the right shoes, a hair net and be aware of boiling hot liquids “behind”.
