Kohan Restaurant

The dishes were generally well portioned and very fresh with great quality. Had the bento box and although it was more on the pricy side I felt that you get value from the variety of items in it. My only complaint would be that the beer was a little expensive at 20 for a big one. Overall service was fast and friendly. Could not fault it. Went close to closing time so there was no queue.

General not bad, really enjoyed my slightly overpriced and under portioned but nicely done Katsudon and tempura sets, the flavor is surprisingly close to the real deal in Japan. My biggest complaint is the limited variety of their menu, seems like half of menu is full with Salmon dishes, and if you are like me who are just fed up with Salmon from other places in the region, you would have a struggle finding promising things to order. Also, although they got a killer lake view location, we never regretted opting for takeout and eating actually by the lake. The service is on point, all of the staff are very nice.

if you stop by Lake Tekapo, Kohan is a must go. Been here multiple times, and the food never disappoints. The Kohan Bento (NZD$34) serves up amazing salmon from Mt. Cook, Katsu, Ebi and tamagoyaki among others. It's uncommon to get a taste of Japan in NZ, and definitely rare to get such good quality. Make a booking before you go though to prevent any disappointment.

Foods is nice, shop is often full, recommend booking in advance. Always go for their bentos and also beef tataki. Salmon sashimi is fresh and tender, Kohan Bento includes few slices ofcsalmon sashimi, tempura prawn and fish, a few edamame with a bowl of hot miso soup. Overall is pretty good just the price is abit expensive.
