Delicious food at incredible prices.

All the meals are the same price. A great Japanese option for only $11.50 per meal. Was majorly addicted when I lived in the city. The price and taste almost made it worth getting every night!

Such a simple menu but everything is so amazing! I recommend the Salmon Karaage - don’t hold back on the japanese mayo.

Hi, I’m Sarah and I’m addicted to teriyaki tofu. It was a friend who first put me on to Renkon and for the past couple of years it has become a weekly guilty pleasure. No one else can make tofu quite like they can - trust me they have been known to convert even my most carnivorous of friends. The Pitt street staff are always really friendly and never fail to have a smile on their face even as they have lines out the door. Renkon wins at life.

Delicious Japanese, well presented in a warm inviting restaurant. A friendly smile from the staff tops off the experience!

Renkon Pitt Street is me, Jordan, and Alan's (pictured) literally favorite place to go for dinner. We're addicted. We love the Salmon Karaage Don with extra Mayo - it's the best. Definitely also order a side of Edamame, and an Asahi each! It's decadent so we only do it to treat ourselves - but it makes us all feel SO HAPPY every time we go....mmmmm Renkon.

Awesome :)

Beautifully fresh food. This place has never let me down. The have the best Japanese iv ever had in Auckland and the staff are wonderfully friendly!

The staff here always great me with a cheerful hello and always remember to say good bye when I leave. They make the most incredible tasting Japanese food and are in a great location!

It took me a year of living in Auckland to discover Renkon and I never looked back. For $11.50 you get a really decent sized meal and everything on the menu is delicious - I recommend the salmon (or tofu) teriyaki and the chicken sauce-katsu on rice. The Pitt St restaurant is licensed, but in Ponsonby you can sit at Mea Culpa next door and they'll bring your meal over to you. And try the Takapuna restaurant - get takeaways in summer and sit on the beach. Perfect.
