Dined with 2 others. Food was top notch – had a sushi roll, the tuna and salmon sashimi, prawn tempura and thinly sliced steak, bottle of wine. As good as it was, the prices were a bit steep and the service on the night was average at best. The waiter meant well and was very nice but must have been new or didn’t understand English well, as there were quite a few miscommunications and repeating ourselves. Was still hungry afterwards, almost hit the White Lady…
If you havent been to Ebisu, you are missing out!Service: 9/10It took awhile when we entered for someone to come service us.They seated us at a secluded area of the restaurant so we would have more privacy and a better dining experience.The man that took our order helped us through the menu items and how their restaurant service works.Every time a dish was served, the waitress explained to us how each item was made and the ingredients used to make it.Food: 10/10We ordered the ebi mayo roll, rainbow roll, traditional assorted nigiri, miso eggplant, tonkatsu cup and seared duck breast.The ebi mayo roll was definitely the highlight. The light mayonnaise didnt overpower the flavour of other ingredients. The rockmelon added a fruity juicy flavour. The shrimp on top was also very tender.The rainbow roll was a variety of fresh seafoods placed on top of sushi rice with salmon rolled inside.The different types of seafood meant you never had the same thing twice.The nigiri was also a bunch of different types of seafood plated beautifully like a work of art. My favourite one was the scallop.The miso eggplant was cooked to perfection so it was soft but still had structure overall. The miso flavour was marinated deeply throughout the eggplant. The seared duck breast was tender and the skin was super juicy. The matcha salt and the pear on the side added some contrasting flavours to the dish.The tonkatsu cup was crispy on the outside and filled with pork in the inside. Even though it was fried, the meat wasnt chewy or dry.Ambiance: 10/10The restaurant is super modern and has a very formal high class vibe.The restaurant is quite large but its divided up into sections by dividers to make your dining experience more private.The dark tones and low key lighting throughout the restaurant create a romantic atmosphere, perfect for a dinner date. This is definitely the best Japanese restaurant Ive been to in nz so far. Its not super authentic but the taste and quality outshines the other Japanese restaurants.
Certainly an upper end Japanese restaurant. Lovely environment and classy ambience.The combination of Japanese and European techniques sparkled the dishes. Beautiful presentation of food. The raw seafood were very fresh. The seared scallop was tender and flavors were welly combined. The beef tataki was very well sliced, but didnt have enough sauce. The only pitfall was you dont get to select the individual raw fish or nigiri. Also the disposable chopsticks was a little degrading.Definitely worthy of a visit. Friendly staff and food were quick to serve. They also have a great range of sake selection.Food: 8.5/10Food presentation: 9/10Service: 8/10Location: 8/10Ambience: 10/10Price $80 per person (excl alcohol)
The customer service was very good! – also the nigiri & beef tataki are both really good. Ebisu serve very fresh sashimi as well. Will be back to try other dishes soon!
Loved this dining experience! $85 is very decent price for the number of dishes. We also added the glazed miso eggplant. The seafood dishes really stood out for me, sashimi was super fresh and the salmon was cooked perfectly. The beef was a bit dry for me and the fried chicken was a bit average. The broccolini was surprisingly my favourite because there was so much flavour in it. The sorbet at the end of the meal was way too sour to be in that quantity. Cocktails were delicious too.
Beautiful ingredients and a mixture of Japanese and European techniques makes Ebisu without a doubt, one of the finest Japanese restaurants in Auckland.Have been to Ebisu twice now and on both occasions I was blown away by the food presented.Tip for those who are going to Ebisu for the first time or don’t know what to order, try the Tasting Menu! You get to try the very best the chef has to offer including Kagoshima Black Wagyu, Hokkaido Scallop, Chatham Islands Paua, Scampi and many more!Food: 5/5Service: 5/5Environment: 5/5
This has got to be the best bento box Ive ever had. Steak was grilled to perfection. Karage chicken was both juicy and crunchy. Mesclun salad was pimped out with fresh tuna pieces. Rice was seasoned with furikake, so good I could eat buckets by itself.
