Delicious from start to finish. And we did the saki pairing to make it even better. If you love the food of Japan this is the best place to go. We did the introductory set menu and there wasn’t a dish we didn’t like - there were four of us. Delicate sashimi and sushi. Lovely karage chicken. Great pi
Amazing to have a kaiseki/omakase experience like this in Wellington! Everything we had was exceptional and dietary requirements were catered for. I especially loved the sashimi and my husband adored the tempura and potato salad. The service was amazing and it was very well worth it for us. We will
What a lovely dining experience... everything was just so excellent. To the polite informative service, beautifully presented food, tasty dishes, all in a gentle atmosphere. We ordered the $74. special set menu... which consists of 6 servings of different foods... absolutely all delicious. My favou
What an incredible experience!
We went for the first time for my birthday and we will definitely come back for other special occasions.
We had the signature set menu with Sake pairing + additional wagyu beef shabu shabu and desserts.
The food was amazing, beautifully presented and well portioned. W
Tl;dr, the best Japanese cuisine in Wellington I've had, but I wanted a bit more.
Great selection of drinks ranging from regular wines to more niche Japanese liquor.
Going through the meal, we started with some oysters, not sure where they came from and not super fresh but still nice.
Sashimi and N
Best westernised Japanese food in town! Went for lunch with the family. We ordered several dishes rather than the set menu. We enjoyed every single dish. The highlight was the dessert, Monaka & Creme Brûlée. Will definitely go back to try the set menus for dinner.
With no exaggeration, Kazaguruma sets the highest standard in Wellington for Japanese cuisine.
Each dish’s flavour and aesthetics are prepared with stunning precision.
I’ve been a fan of both their lunch and dinner offerings.
A _must_ stop - and remember to call in to reserve!
We had the UMAMI premium seafood “omakase” four course dinner ($90). The service was efficient, courteous and thoughtful. The seafood was so fresh! I enjoyed all courses, particularly the fresh and quality ingredients in the chirashi sushi salad, which featured sea urchin, fresh wasabi and the most
Excellent food and service !
We had Umami set menu and sake pairing menu.
Very very pleased with out selection.
The Umami menu included 4 different dishes. It began with a beautifully served tempura oyster. The oyster was divine. It had white tobiko looking like little pearls! Very pretty and yummy
I have been meaning to try this new Japanese restaurant for a while. We had the set menu. The sashimi and sushi were amazing. The highlight was the silken tofu in broth. They also had very good desert options and wide variety of wines, beers and sake. I will be back.
Incredibly special dining experience with a magical set menu and matching sake for each course. Focused on delicious seafood. Book ahead. Expensive but worth every bite!
Just AMAZING.
I do not like fish at all I have to say, but this menu with raw fish and sushi was just awesome. I cannot describe these compositions of flavours.
And then the deserts. You have to try.
Tasty food, friendly wait staff, and a great selection of NZ and Japanese drinks.
I have been back to this restaurant a few times now and I am always impressed with the level of service and the outstanding food.
I cannot recommend it more highly ❤
Tiny little restaurant with exceptional food and service. The seafood was so fresh and beautifully presented, each dish to follow was delicious. The seafood miso soup is a must try I would also highly recommend the caramelised black sesame Panna Cotta to finish,.. It was to die for!!
Food was delicious! Staff were phenomenal, really went above and beyond, after incidentally finding out we were there for a birthday dinner they placed something special on the table for us AND sent the dessert with a candle of their own volition. Can't thank them enough.
Excellent. I cannot stress it enough how excellent our meals were. They were so satisfying. A nice, cozy section. Great customer service too. Will be returning.
Most authentic Japanese cuisine in Wellington run by Japanese. Each dish is prepared with care and full of taste. They also offer dairy free, gluten free and vegetarian options. They can also accommodate additional dietary needs which is very much appreciated. Highly recommended and I will definitel
I pass this place everyday and been meaning to try this place out. I am so glad I did and wish I went sooner!
The staff was super friendly and courteous. The place is clean and beautiful. Instantly fell in love with the place. I think I should’ve made a reservation, but regardless, the waitress wel
We had the set menu, all the food was a experience that transported us to Japan using new Zealand produce. The food was visually appealing and tasted even better! The service was attentive, knowledgeable and authentic. We tried the saki paddle which was well worth it and showed great variety of what
