Takara Japanese Restaurant

Food was tasty but was not exceptional. Had the chicken katsu. Wish the katsu sauce would’ve been on the chicken instead of on the side. It was a little bit pricey as well. Overall it was a good experience, but I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to come back again. Everyone at our table seemed to enjoy their food, so I think it’s a pretty safe place for Japanese food.

Went here with a group of 7 for dinner. It was packed with people and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Ordered the 7 course meal, amazing value for $55! Every single course was delicious, small and packed with flavour and we were stuffed at the end. Will definitely be going back if I'm in the area again.

Awesome!! I left home looking to eat something different, I walked over the street, and I only found the tipical kiwi style manu, with burgers for $25 and fish and chips....... So I walked in Takara, people, music and the place itself are really nice, and I found a delicious dish, well done and presented for the same price you pay a burger next door. I would recommend this place to everyone who is tired of NZ food manu. Well done guys :)
