Had the chicken curry and Ten-hana special set here for a quick lunch. Great value and good taste located in the middle of the city. Good amount of food as well! Definitely a nice place for a lunch with no hassle!
If I can, I would love to give them 10 out of five :) came everyday during my stay in Auckland. Highly recommend everything(esp.Haha-ten dong). Quite big portion but been improving to finish all.
Any visitors pls come and try
- there are so many Japanese restaurants in Korea but I would dare to choose this the best.
Thank you for the good food!
Absolutely amazing tempura etc. Japanese food restaurant right in the lobby of the Crowne Plaza hotel. Always full of Asian people, which is a great sign. Food quality is outstanding, yet prices are quite reasonable. Quick and friendly service.
Came here many times because the food is mostly delicious, especially the Ten-dons.
Personally, I like the Chicken Ten-don with miso sauce the most.
Came here to try their tempura. We each got ten hana set special. For $25 you get a bit of everything, definitely enough even for a big eater. The presentation was nice, the tempura itself was not oily but felt like they could improve it as it was not the light and crunchy ones that I had from another place. The sukiyaki beef was also dryer than I like, but it all tasted good anyway. However the price, taste and amount was well worth the visit. This place is always full of people.

Very good food and excellent service! Authentic Japanese cuisine!!! small place but enough seats to accomodate groups
Good value for the price. Taste Okay 👌🏻
Reasonable prices for the foods with good portions.
Great tempura set. The size and quality are both excellent. Lovely staff and chefs. Totally worth walking through road works to Crown Plaza.
I ordered the tempura with soba noodles for $18. Very impressed with the low price for the quality and quantity of the meal. The prawn tempura just melts in your mouth and the cold soba noodles were light and chewy, which gave a nice contrast to the hot and slightly heavier tempuras.
I will be back for more!!
Tasty Spicy Chicken Don. This was indeed a flavorful delight. Well seasoned and accompanied by a fiery sauce which packed a punch. An explosion of taste. Served over a fluffy pillow of white rice and accompanied by some tasty greens. A harmonious balance of heat and flavor. 5 stars 🌟 for taste, service and price.
The restaurant is located inside the Crown Plaza lobby on Albert Street. It is very easy to miss even though it also connects to the Atrium on Elliot.
The place isn't very big but does have quite a few tables. Their menu is focused on tempura over rice, ten don, but they also have other Japanese items like curry and soba. Most of the items are under $20 with a few of the special ones being a bit over. I went with the Mega tempura bowl which cost $30. It was quite large and could probably feed two. It had a range of seafood and lots of vegetable tempura over rice with their tasty sauce drizzled all over. The tempura was quite crispy, particularly the seaweed. I quite liked the tempura egg too. They also had pickles by the bar and the bamboo shoot and cucumber one was really tasty.
It was a really nice place to stop for really tasty tempura.
Edit: Tried the special set with tempura, eel and sukiyaki and it was quite nice.
Hands down best Tempura in Auckland.
Delicious crispy Tempura, with always a large variety of vegetables and changes with season which is nice.
Always a generous amount of Tempura is provided and I'm always left leaving with my tummy full.
Friendly staff members whom served me with a smile.
Reasonably priced and well worth it!
I highly recommend this place - the Mega Tempura bowl is highly recommended which is enough to share between two!
Added: Went back again for the Mega Tempura along with plain udon and it was delicious even on return :)
Their tempura is so amazing. Big bowl of noodle as well. Freshly deep fried. I couldn’t finish this bowl of noodle at all.
The food was reasonable price, but very tasty. Especially, Prawn and mushroom were very nice🫶 Staff was friendly as well. Highly recommend👍
I cant believe there is such a nice Japanese restaurant hidden in CBD. The staff are Japanese and they are very nice. Ordered a Hana Tendon for only $18, with prawn, chicken qnd vega tempura on rice. They taste really good😭😭😭 1000% must try !!!!!
This is absolutely delicious!!!
Most incredible is the pricing is unbelievable reasonable!
Very busy eatery, not many seats, it's all packed but it definitely worth to wait for an empty seat.
$16 bowl of authenticity Japanese rice with fried items even has one whole prawn inside.
Free pickle is providing
What else can you ask for?
Highly recommended.
This place is always a lovely place to go to. Have been coming here for several years even before when it was Genzui. Food is still amazing and tastes great. The staff are also very polite and have polite attitudes. Will come by every now and then!
Easily the best Tempura I've had out of Japan! Authentic food and the serving sizes were great! The tempura was perfectly crunchy... totally blew my mind. The entrance is tricky to find ATM with the construction on the roads...walk into the Crowne Plaza lobby to find this place. 100% coming again tomorrow for lunch!
