Kazu - Wellington

This restaurant is quite small and can be a bit tricky to locate on your first visit. Once you spot the sign on Courtney, just climb the narrow stairs, and...

The atmosphere is lovely, but the prices for the food are rather high. I visited last weekend with a strong craving for sushi, as I'm not a fan of sushi served on conveyor belts.

This is my go-to place for Japanese food whenever I'm in New Zealand. They have the best service in town! Give it a try; you’ll love it!

The staff were fantastic, and the atmosphere was laid-back, with seating options available on tatami mats or at tables. The menu was extensive, and we left feeling satisfied after sharing gyoza and ramen (I added extra noodles to mine). The drinks were enjoyable; we sampled some refreshing sake cocktails. I will definitely be back.

This is the best Japanese restaurant in town! I absolutely love the spicy ramen; it's fantastic! The tempura is crispy and delicious. The staff are very friendly, too!
