Yuzu Restaurant is a little gem of a place tucked away on central Auckland's Symonds Street that, once you discover its charms, may just well become your local Japanese.

There's a sushi bar along the narrow interior of the restaurant, where you can pick up a selection of fresh hand-rolled sushi, sashimi and nigiri to go or to eat in. The menu features a great range of Japanese specialities such as donburi, udon, bento boxes and teriyaki. Best of all, tucked away at the back of the place is a fantastic little sunroom - warm and bright on sunny days, or moody and atmospheric on overcast ones.

I ordered some sushi platters from Yuzu for a work event and they did an outstanding job! The sushi was absolutely beautiful both in presentation and in flavour, with loads of selection and really great value for money. They stayed open especially to prepare our order and it was thoroughly enjoyed by our team. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff

Yuzu on Symonds St is my new favourite spot for Japanese. Awesome food and lovely service, definitely recommended for fresh healthy food, you can even request brown rice. I love getting a table out the back and watching the sun go down over Auckland, perfect!

Love the cheap and delicious lunch menu here - a definite perk in the working day. Yuzu uses cornflakes in their karaage chicken batter for extra crunch, yum!

Love the peaceful wee sunroom in this lovely lunch spot. Everything on the menu is a cool $12 and the potions are generous and the food is excellent - what a winner!
