Lovely fresh sashimi, the tempora bluff oysters were to die for and the main course beef cooked to perfection. Very friendly attentive staff. Great restaurant, will visit again.
Don’t believe the reviews! This place is great! We had Teppanyaki, arrived just before 8 and were served promptly. Drinks were ordered, entrees ordered, and our teppanyaki menu selection all done exactly when we were ready. – WAIT STAFF were lovely! Attentive and friendly. Our Teppanyaki chef was very cool, she really warmed up when we started talking to her. – The DECOR is stunning! Beautiful place. – PRICING is what you’d expect for such succulent tender flavoursome meats good fresh in front of you. The starting vege were delicious, the Tofu entree was outstanding. We were both very full afterwards. HIGHLY RECOMMEND – Will be visiting again soon!Would be a great place to go with a group of friends for a really nice time.
Worst service ever! We made a booking at the teppanyaki bar. Were seated, and thought that it was a bit cramped. Then they tried shoving more people in! So cramped that you may as well sit in the person’s lap sitting next to you. We moved ourselves to a table and we got our menus and a glass of water. An hour later. They’d forgotten us. 10pm by this stage and we’d been there since 8.30pm. Well when we finally got the food. It came thick and fast. Barely time to settle between courses. The food was nicely presented and quite tasty. But will not return because of the awfully service. No apology or discount offered.
As a lover o japanese food, I had an unplanned stop over here. I found this online and thought why not give it ago, glad I did. What a find indeed. Koreans doing japanese and doing it well, sushi and sashimi was awesome and fresh, japanese trained chefs and a great vibe. So glad I came, I will return if in town
I can so see why people mark this restaurant down on service. Booked Teppanyaki for 8pm and arrived early, so they sat us at a regular table to wait. Gave us menus after being asked, the food choices looked good and the prices were reasonable. No drinks list and never asked if we wanted a drink. After sitting for 20 minutes and no sign of the first-sitting diners leaving the table decided not to wait any longer and left.
I went to Ace Wasabi yesterday with a small group for a birthday and we were so disappointed with the overall experience. The food was delicious! However, were were seated at a teppanyaki bar in a room disconnected from the main building and it was freezing! We had to keep our jackets on for the whole meal and spent a lot of the time worrying about wait staff leaving the door open as they left room. The chef was fantastic. But the waitress was not. She forgot several things and it was so hard to get her attention to remind her and order drinks and desert. After the main when we finally got her attention and ordered desert she said we would have to move to a table to eat it as a new seating was coming in. If she had taken our order earlier we could have eaten at the bar and the table we had to move to was even colder. We could see each others breath in the air!!! Other people in the room left without desert saying it was too cold.I really wouldn’t recommend going here for dinner as you can find much nicer Japanese restaurants in Christchurch which have delicious food, fantastic wait staff and warm comfortable seating! If you do decide to go then you should absolutely insist on being seated in the main building!
I went to AceWasabi, on Monday night with a group of friends and we all got the special set menu. It was a great experience for me and all my friends. The food was top quality I especially loved the synergy between the prawn and their wasabi sauce. The chef was very friendly, interactive and very professional at handling the food. The waiting staff were all also very responsive and friendly. I feel that price was very reasonable considering the quality and the quantity of the food. I would love to go again to Ace Wasabi.
