We stumbled upon Bian by accident, and I'm glad we did. Inside was a variety of sushi, donburi, and sashimi. I had crispy teriyaki chicken and teriyaki chicken. The rice was incredibly fresh and you could tell it was recently cooked. My favourite was the crispy sushi. The price was very reasonable, the setting was comfortable and the staff were very helpful.
Was at a birthday party and they ordered Bian sushi! The rice was really really nice. Really enjoyed it! We finished it like it was nothing! Yum nom nom
Pretty good sushi restaurant for take away. I used tp came here a lot coz i live across the street. Curry pork donburi is pretty yum. Service always nice and friendly
Bian sushi is a cosy sushi spot located on Symonds Street. They have a wide variety of donburi and sets to choose from. Their sushi doesn't have as much variety as say, Umi sushi on in Elliot Food court but I would say that Brian's tastes a lot better. The best part is being able to add your own sauce after picking your sushi.
I got a salmon salad with a side of tamago, teriyaki salmon nigiri and a Californian roll with marinated carrots. The salad was generous with the portion of salmon, as it should be because it was a little pricey. The sushi itself was very good, full of flavour and you can taste the freshness of the ingredients. My partner ordered an array of their sushi and agrees that it is worth every penny.
Service was great and the environment was clean as well Definitely coming back here again.

Pretty sure I saw Lorde here once having a feed and a yarn to some nz Radio DJ, can't verify that though. Anyway, this place is definitely worth the money with tasty sushi and udon noodles. Have tried most items on their menu and their Katsu Don curry was is ok but not amazing. Their special mayonnaise based sauce takes the icing on the cake and makes everything tastier. A 5 star rating for value for money and taste! Would recommend!
Hands down this IS the best place to get sushi in Auckland. The staff are always friendly and the sushi is always fresh and so tasty.
I also enjoy the donburi and udon noodles when I dine in.
Seeing they were voted best sushi by metro and viva in the past it was tempting to give their sushi a try! But being a cold day we wanted something warm and comforting. We ordered the katsu chicken donburi and the teriyaki tofu donburi with a side of salad each to takeaway. The portions were really decent and we could've got away with the smaller size for lunch.
Both donburis were good, even though it took us 20mins to get home and eat them. The katsu chicken was really tender and well crumbed. There was a generous amount of tofu and it was well flavoured with plenty of sauce on the rice. Only downside to both dishes is they don't come with salad or veggies.
The service is friendly and quick. The restaurant is pretty simple but ideal for this type of food. The rows of self serve sushi looked very appealing and they have a big selection to choose from - using different ingredients than your standard. Will definitely give their sushi a go next time!
Great tasting food. Never tried the sushi but it looked incredible! On my lunch break so the quick service was much appreciated but thought it was a little expensive for the area ($21 for mixed tempura (all veg & 1 prawn) with teriyaki chicken donburi). Chinese on the corner does all you can eat for $10 so maybe I'm just being cheap 🙊

im not gonna lie, my go to sushi is mercury plaza but today the tables turned and my friends took me here, they swore by it.
im a classic sushi gal you know, i like a few things in me sushi. avocado and salmon is my favourite. i like prawn nigiri, avo nigiri and seaweed salad.
so thats what i got cause it was on offer. m88888 the salmon pieces were huge, im telling ya its no sushi of the day at st pierres. bloody quality. $1.40 per piece is pretty steep but i was willing to pay as there was more ingredients than rice.
theyre ratios are bloody 10/10 folks.
also you get to grab YOUR OWN wasabi and ginger which is great cause too many places bloody stinge out and you dont have enough condiments.
ALSO THEY HAD so many different condiments which i loved. i wanted to keep it O.G so i just got soy, ginger and wasabi. but my friends got this white sauce that tasted like ... a mix between big mac sauce and tartare and m8 its fiyyyyaaahh and i ate heaps of theirs. infact i might go here next time im making burgers and ask for some sauce cause that would be dope
im not a local to this area but if im in area and want sushi i will return.
Introduced to this place today by a work colleague as I've just started a new job. Have had horrible sushi in the past and so thought I wasn't really into sushi until trying the sushi here. I'm a convert! I'll be back for more - loved the pumpkin, oyster and pork sushi. Delicious!
I mainly go for the counter sushi here, and its my favorite hands down. The creative options and freshness set it apart from every other takeaway sushi joint. And my god try the white sauce.
Great fresh sushi and a good selection!! Have been a few times for lunch - a popular place so sometimes not everything is available. Have only had the choose your own sushi - not ordered from the menu.
He said - Salmon is fresh and tasty
She said - great selection and I like that you can choose individual pieces
I live and work locally to Bian, and can't even count how many times I have been there over the last 3 years. I have found them to always be polite and friendly, and the sushi fresh and yummy. We order work sushi platters for our clients and always get rave reviews!!!! Only twice have I ordered from the menu (cause I can't seem to resist the tasty sushi) and had the chicken katsu. Very tasty!
Best sushi in Auckland and excellent value for money. The highlights for me are the spicy chicken roll, the tuna roll , pumpkin and the potato balls. All the ginger you can manage and really nice mayonaise as well.
The sushi was really delicious and fresh. I especially enjoyed the variety and wonderful combinations of ingredients fresh and cooked. The premises are clean and well presented. I really liked that the sushi was reasonably priced and the staff was friendly. Also you get free filtered water. :D
Best I've ever had! The sushi were fresh, vibrant, tasty even though on a little high side for the price, but well worth the quality! Because they are so easy, most of their sushi flies away and they continuously make fresh ones to restock. Love the home made white sauce! Absolutely delicious! There is a reason this shop has been around for years on Symond St while others had closed down. Will definitely be back again!
Best sushi, great Bento box, great sashimi. Wonderful Japanese food. It would have an excellent rating but memumania wanted more than 200 words for that rating.
Hands down best sushi in Auckland, yum. Also a very intimate and friendly environment especially around dinner time when the lunch crowd has died down. Love how there's help yourself condiments and green tea.
I work across the road and would eat there once a week for lunch.
The Sushi always seems fresh and freshly made for the lunchtime trade. On most days there is a queue but the service is quick and efficient. My favorite would be the smoked eel.
It is not cheap but it would be hard to find better Sushi.
I have no idea what 'Doria' who wrote the review prior to mine is on about, this sushi place is THE BEST sushi place that I have ever been to. Infact, ever since I found it I have been going there at least 3 nights a week for dinner. I have never been to a sushi place where the sushi tasted as fresh as this - especially the salmon and avocado. Their miso soup is the best I have tried and their spicy chicken don is amazing (though yes, it doesn't have veges). I would also recommend the chicken katsu curry =)
Teriyaki beef donburi here is awesome, as are the katsu curry donburi. Delicious sushi too. They also have the most tasty mayo onion and herb sauce I've ever tried - it's beside the self service wasabi/sauces. Free self-service green tea if you are dining in :)
Food was great. Spicy chicken and salmon donburi are must try. Udon soup was great and spicy chicken on the sides was tender and cooked to perfection.
Some interesting options of 🍣 sushi. What I really like about the place is you can pick and choose, so you literally have 6 pieces of sushi and all of them can be different.
I would definitely like to add a note on the wasabi, that stuff is really strong, compared to a whole bunch I have had in Auckland.
All on all definitely a must-try place for sushi

Every time I want to eat sushi, I always come to this place. Very delicious, variety of sushi to choose from. Their Katsu curries are also yummy !
AMAZING SUSHI! Friendly and helpful staff as well. I would rate with 6 (or more) stars if I could.
Fantastic bento boxes & the sushi looked good too. Will definitely return!
Definitely a good place for gimbap and sushi.
My go to for lunch after work. They serve some good and filling sushi rolls. Sushi is always a delight to eat.
Came here for lunch. We usually go to a different place closer to town for our sushi fix, but decided to try something different this time. Bian Sushi reminded me what proper good sushi should taste like! They had a good variety of rolls for a decent price - my plate full ran me about $15 while my partner's salmon salad and sushi rolls was a bit more at $18. Self serve with the toppings and a variety of sauces, which is nice - I don't often see that anymore. It's not a huge place and it's quite busy but if you want a good meal at a decent price give it a try!
Best sushi in the area. Great spot for a quick lunch. Easy to grab and go. I love their variety of sushi and dumplings. Highly recommend the fried oyster roll. Also a good variety of vegetarian rolls - pumpkin and gobo/carrot are my favorites.
My favorite sushi takeaway in town!
I have been going here for about 15 years, they are still my favourite japanese resturant ever! The staff are so lovely and go above and beyond, we order for staff lunches and they deliver to us for free, always on time, all of our staff always love their meals. Every dish on their menu is authentic and delish, thank you Allan for your amazing service, you will always be our only choice for Japanese staff lunch 🙌🤤🍲🍙🍤🍥
Always 5 star fresh and tasty
Lovely wee spot. Popped in for a late lunch, food was delish, the full size was too much for me, next time I'll try the half size meals.
Glad to see they do sushi platters which my kids love.
