Best Asian restaurants in New Zealand

"I went here for a birthday dinner last week and loved it. The creamy red curry with prawns was a real hit amongst the friends. Plus the staff were so lovely. They let us bring our own birthday cake and brought out plates and a knife for the birthday boy to cut it all up."

"This is a great little restaurant that offers a delicious range of Japanese cuisine. I got their salmon dish because it’s my favourite fish and I wasn’t disappointed. Their miso soup is also super yum and the staff always seem keen to please but aren’t overbearing."

"Ezumi are masters at the menu. I love that you can get fresh sushi from them during the day and then pop back at night for a wonderful meal. I’m always hungry for one of their bento boxes or their beef tataki is some of the best I’ve ever had - highly reccommended!"

"Shiraz serve top-of-the-line North Indian cuisine. I love their rich creamy curries and fresh flakey naans. You can choose how hot you want your food which is pretty great. I like it spicy so one of my favourites is the hot beef vindalloo!"
