We frequent this restaurant regularly and absolutely adore it, especially the sixty nine dollar banquet. Extremely good value for the money and a great chance to sample a variety of their food. Wait staff a very friendly and efficient. Owner Patrick is always friendly and always very welcoming. Keep up the good work would advise anybody who likes Japanese food to give it a try.

The food is very tasty but a little overpriced. We were seated at the table near the kitchen and the toilet which was disappointing

Hana Mizu Ki Is a fantastic restaurant always strives for constant food I have returned there allot and Its always a favourite for celebrations

4/5 stunning!

Great place, friendly staff, and tasty food. Prawns were divine.

An excellent place to eat. The food is always of a consistently high standard. We have been dining there regularly for four years now and never had a dish that we could say was substandard. the staff are always friendly and attentive,and the atmosphere is great. We recommend it to anyone who asks as to a good restaurant to dine at.For a place to try that has delicious wholesome food, this is the one.

Average food. Pleasant service.

I had dinner there on Wednesday. We had an 8.30 reservation, so it was quite late, and when we got there, the waiter informed us the food may arrive a bit slower than usual due to the lateness. I didn’t mind that. We ordered and we waited, but it wasn’t crazy long. The food was lovely and the waiter very pleasant. My family then went there the next night (without me) and had some problems with pricing (different pricing on the menu and at the bar) and then the restaurant tried to charge them 15% GST a month early, which is illegal. My father sorted them out, but this makes me wonder if they charged me 15% as well. This makes me cringe a little – its all about principle.

I think this restaurant is up and down all the time in its standards, as I’ve eaten here many times, sometimes its been great, and other times its just really bad. I guess its up to you if you want to take the risk.

Also, the owner gets upset over like $1 or $2 disputes, even when he’s in the wrong. Not good business!

Beautiful food, love the prawns, look forward to going whenever we go to Palmerston North, which isn’t often enough!!!!

This is a fabulous place to go and eat!!!! The food is amazing, the wait staff super friendly and the restaurant atmosphere relaxed and welcoming.
We are booking soon for our 3rd meal there.
Highly recommended!!!

The food was pretty good but what spoiled the evening for us was the amount of time it took for the food to get to us. I understand it being a Saturday night but, a good restaurant would have been prepared for the crowd.
Ordered entree/sushi at 7 p.m. Asked the waitress if we should order our mains at the same time. She suggested later. The entree /sushi came at 7.50 p.m. By then, we kinda realized why she suggested we should order the mains later – the kitchen couldn’t cope. Ordered mains at about 8 p.m, it came 50 minutes later. We had our dinner at almost 9 p.m. What helped eased the unpleasant evening was the nice hard-working waiter who served us. He was very apologetic tho’ it wasn’t his fault. Verdict: Will never patronise this restaurant again.

Hana Mizu Ki is a fantastic Japanese Restaurant. My favourite is vegetable tempura and tempura udon! Delicious!
