Authentic Japanese restaurant

It is such delight to have a sushi train here in New Plymouth. I miss Japan so much and Sushi Ninja’s sushi train and ramen are somehow nostalgic. Looking forward to some improvements on the pork tonkatsu on the ramen though (deeper flavor and more char).

We had a lovely dinner here. All the food was very tasty and even though they were understaffed the service was good. Highly recommended

Lovely little Japanese restaurant, staff friendly and quick. Ordering was done on a tablet at the table. Was easy to use and the staff quick with the food as you order it.Only negative is the car parks are shared with the other businesses in the complex and can get a bit busy but have always found a car park.

Enjoyed quality food full of versatile flavors. Really good customer service.

Beautiful food, great service and food is served fast.will definitely return

Kyo-ya in Takapuna has long been a favourite of ours .We recently enjoyed a lunch with friends and, as always, the food was delicious. Our waitperson Hanna was friendly, helpful and delightful to deal with. Highly recommended.

Aprox $50-60 per set. A la carte menu also available. We had a set to share plus added crayfish tail. Everything cooked very well. Portions were large (we couldnt finish all of it). Great 1.5hr dinner experience!

Beautiful atmosphere. Friendly welcome and seating. Showed us how to order and couldn't believe how fast everything everything was bought to the table. Fresh and so delicious! Love this place

Delicious food and fun experience. We sat next to the kitchen and watched the food being made for entertainment. Our servers were great- they talked us through the menu, and helped us select a satisfying à la carte meal. While it was all good, the most notable were the salmon ceviche tacos. Highly recommend.

Initially staff were very friendly and helpful with the menu. We ordered about two entrees and two mains. The second entree took about 1 hour to be served. We weren’t served the mains until two hours later, we were given a 2 hour seating limit and food didn’t arrive until 5min before needing to return the table. We were asked kindly to move seats for the next patrons in which we didn’t mind and was offered drinks on the tab as an apology, but they never came back to ask us which drinks, or give us the drink menu. Food was good, but not quite enough to justify the price, the lamb was slightly over cooked (almost well done). Serving time needs improvement if you’re going to have a limited seating time. Will not be back.
